The place could have used a little more cleaning before we arrived, but it wasn’t terrible. The kitchen could use an update. Definitely a place to make memories in. ##### Tim S. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Corey B. 2 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful beachfront place in quiet La Selva Beach. Location is amazing for relaxing getaway in Monterey Bay. 15 min into Capitola or Watsonville. Windows look out on to the beach, and sunsets in the evening are jaw dropping. Check-in and -out process requires a trip into Capitola, which is fine but could really just be solved with a lockbox on the door of the place. ##### Corey B.

Great beach, with lots of sand dollars. Neighbors are a little inquisitive but overall friendly. My only concern, was with the large number of off leash dogs. ##### Jessica T. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Martha L. 9 Aug 2017 #### Exterior Amazing The view is amazing. We had a variety of weather and viewing whales everyday from the condo and beach. What a gift. The interior of the condo needs a great deal of improvement. We had the privilege of knowing the gentleman who owned the condo many, many years ago when we rented the condo next to his for over thirty years. ##### Martha L. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### robert f. 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Be aware... This is not a complaint, but an attempt to advise future renters of what to expect. While the accommodations were clean and adequate, there were several items that were not included: shampoo, conditioner, Kleenex, hair dryer, foil, Ziplocs, or any type of "tupperware" storage containers. The property is advertised as accommodating 6 people, however the living room is so small that there isn't adequate seating for 6 people. On the upside, there are 2 small full bathrooms, however, there is no place to put any toiletries outside of the medicine chest and nowhere to hang more than 1 towel. The balcony view & access to the beach were amazing. This property is not ADA compliant, toddler friendly or accessible to persons with mobility issues. Perhaps the listing needs to be updated. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1d16428e-0270-4053-ac0e-8b7f3403f225-1752784981772.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### robert f.
