Top Capitola Beach Hotel Reviews

Capitola Dreaming, Beach Front Venetian #7 1/2

10/10 Excellent

"I have been wanting to stay in one of these places for years. Dream come true. The beach right outside the door literally within steps. We had the ocean in view sitting at the dining table. Short walking distance to downtown to grab coffee at Mr. Toots (Must try the Mona Lisa Coffee). Even the kids didn't gripe about the short walk across the bridge to get to the main downtown. The hosts were quick to respond regarding a question I had about parking and the pass. We didn't have to move the car for the entire four days we were there. Admittedly the bed set up in one of the rooms was slightly wonky but still a 10/10. Would do it again, and again, and again."

Capitola Venetian Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location with a great view; the rooms are nicely decorated and have a warm feel. There is a small balcony to sit and watch the sunset. The Venetians of Capitola provide the feeling of being in Europe. Just amazing. So close to the beach and a nice little shower to wash the sand off your feet. Love the touchless checkin flow and everyone is so nice."

Inn at Depot Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful historical property located in a terrific neighborhood. A couple blocks away from the sea cliffs or Capitola Village. Easy on-site parking. Very kind and accommodating owner and staff. Groovy (the dog) will brighten up your day! Will stay again."

Capitola Sea Breeze Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Nice, comfortable, clean unit right in town, easy access to restaurants and shops and beach. Beds were comfortable, unit was clean except for many stains on carpet, kitchen was well equipped and the best part was the lovely deck for sitting and reading with a glass of wine!! Convenient parking just down the stairs and was an easy (uphill) walk to Shadowbrook, a "must-go" restaurant while in Capitola!! Check in was simple and communications were very good. We had a slight issue with heater in unit (pilot light out) with no way to fix it and help arrived quickly. We'd definitely stay here next time we're in the area."

Capitola Seaside Studio

10/10 Excellent

"Cute, charming spot with two different patio chill spots! Best location, lots of windows!"

Capitola Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A quaint hotel right smack dab in the middle of town…the free taxi to Shadowbrook was a plus! We walked everywhere which we appreciated as we enjoy a cocktail every now and then."

Capitola Village Retreat with Garage!

8/10 Good

"Great location . Parking can be a challenge _ nice backup pass if can’t use garage"

Capitola Village Work-Live Loft - Pet Friendly

8/10 Good

"The pictures accurately reflect the property. The location was great. What we had problems with was the two set of stairs to the unit. Both my wife and I are in our mid-seventies and I have arthritic knees and Achilles tendonitis which made the stairs a minor challenge. Our dog is 12 and is small (14 pounds) and could not climb the stairs. This meant that we had to carry the dog while climbing the stairs. We had a good time but the unit did present some challenges."

Brand New Luxury Capitola Village Home!

8/10 Good

"Parking was very inconvenient at check in , as the roads were closed to get to the property, i wish the management company informed us of this. Also an extra bed sheet for emergency"
