Sep 16, 2024 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Annual Girls Trip - Capitola Art and Wine Festival I must of clicked on wrong property because it wasn't what I thought I had rented but the paperwork gave the address of what I had agreed to. It smelled musty. Floors were not clean. Glasses in cupboard were not clean. Bathroom setup was odd. Furniture setup in one room was odd. It was not what we are use to staying in when we go on vacation in Capitola. The location was great, perfect for going downtown. I will make sure next time that I pay attention to the pics of the place and amenities when I book next time. ##### Sheila M. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nancy L. Nov 26, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### It suited our needs This property is a cinder block home. It was located by my niece’s new shop that she recently opened, which was the reason we booked it. Although, I usually prefer to stay in homes on the river, the location was perfect and it was clean. There is a $141 “linen fee” & I was disappointed that the towels were such low quality. ##### Nancy L. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tamara C. Oct 26, 2022 #### Girls Weekend! Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Awesome weekend at this property. Perfect for me and my sister. Great location and we walked around a lot. 1 block from the beach and amazingly clean! We plan on coming back!! ##### Tamara C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-I.h661796.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntington-Beach-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Huntington-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h890502.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h23876.Hotel-Information) > > [Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Miramonte-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16768.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Embarc-Palm-Desert.h328421.Hotel-Information) > > [ The Westin Mission Hills Resort & Villas for COACHELLA 2020 (1st weekend)](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Cochella-Stay-At-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Resort-Villas.h34078793.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Anaheim, CA](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Anaheim.h14910044.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Indian Wells](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Renaissance-Esmeralda-Resort-Spa.h12274.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Paradise-Point-Resort-Spa.h3731.Hotel-Information) > > [Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Agua-Caliente-Resort-Casino-Spa-Rancho-Mirage.h2020169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Half-Moon-Bay-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h602927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Golf-Resort-Spa.h4124.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Orange County](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Orange-County.h15965.Hotel-Information) > > [San Diego Mission Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-San-Diego-Mission-Bay-Resort.h25598.Hotel-Information) > > [Ace Hotel and Swim Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-And-Swim-Club.h22864.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn By Marriott Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Palm-Desert.h201084.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Mission-Bay-Spa-And-Marina.h858.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Oasis-Resort.h1180912.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Anaheim Garden Grove](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Garden-Grove.h519819.Hotel-Information) > > [Solage, Auberge Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Calistoga-Hotels-Solage.h1640078.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas II](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-II.h57218.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Anaheim South](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Anaheim-South.h662857.Hotel-Information)
