Ideally located just steps from Capitola Beach, charming shops, and some of the area’s best restaurants, this stylishly updated condo offers a true taste of California coastal living. Situated above the iconic Trestles restaurant, you'll enjoy stunning village and partial ocean views right from your private balcony. Whether you're sipping morning coffee under the coastal sky or unwinding with a glass of wine as the sun sets, the balcony is your front-row seat to the charm of Capitola Village. Inside, the condo is modernly decorated with warm, inviting touches and designed with comfort in mind. A skylight floods the space with natural light, making it a bright, uplifting place to relax, work remotely, or plan your next beach day. The open layout and thoughtful furnishings make it ideal for couples, solo travelers, or small families looking for a peaceful and inspiring getaway. And with Capitola Beach just around the corner, it's easy to spend your entire day by the water—soaking in the sun, enjoying a picnic on the sand, or taking a sunset stroll along the shore. At night, return to the beach for a cozy bonfire or a moonlit walk just steps from your front door. Explore the village on foot, discovering local boutiques, cafés, ice cream shops, and art galleries, or treat yourself to a memorable dinner at Shadowbrook, one of the area's most iconic dining spots—just a short walk away. For even more adventure, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is only a 10-minute drive. This classic seaside amusement park has something for everyone—roller coasters, arcade games, mini golf, and classic boardwalk eats—all set against a beautiful ocean backdrop. You’ll also enjoy the convenience of two private covered parking spots—a rare and valuable perk in Capitola—so you can explore stress-free and always return to easy parking. With an unbeatable location, modern comforts, and all the charm of the coast, this light-filled retreat is your perfect gateway to everything Capitola, Santa Cruz, and Aptos have to offer. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the condo: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - In the city center - Near the sea ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,240 square feet ## Similar properties ![TV, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39120000/39112600/39112570/cab522dc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bungalow in Capitola Village Steps from River walk Capitola - Kitchen - Outdoor Space - Barbecue grill - Microwave 9.4 Exceptional 46 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=39112570&PinnedHotelID=39112570&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34340000/34338000/34337912/f85b2770.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Capitola 'Rose Cottage' in the Heart of Capitola Village Capitola - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 57 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=34337912&PinnedHotelID=34337912&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98290000/98283000/98282971/7b0d350b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 10 Steps to the Sand…Capitola Beach Front at the mouth of the Wharf-Pet Friendly Capitola - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 10 Exceptional 38 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=98282971&PinnedHotelID=98282971&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91180000/91179800/91179749/a7c52761.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Capitola Sea Breeze Retreat Capitola - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor Space 9.8 Exceptional 28 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=91179749&PinnedHotelID=91179749&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23980000/23976300/23976277/d48f4e4a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Capitola Sea Spray by the Beach Capitola - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor Space 9.6 Exceptional 54 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=23976277&PinnedHotelID=23976277&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89070000/89060600/89060510/fb59fd64.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Begonia Beach Cottage- Dog Friendly Capitola - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.6 Exceptional 21 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=89060510&PinnedHotelID=89060510&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![4 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31730000/31722800/31722794/53322264.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious CLEAN Updated Home.
