We love these little places & will return. Great Staff!
Pros:

Staff was friendly & very helpful. Location & ease of parking is a key aspect as to why we've come her time and again. We enjoy close proximity to beach as well as food options w/out having to get in the car.

Cons:

Although room appeared pretty well cleaned the room had an off putting smell. Maybe carpet? I also miss when Parking was just included in price.

It was also a bummer that we were not able to park in the parking lot. Not only was it inconvenient to park up a huge hi
Pros:

The location in capitola was good. The little secluded water area was really nice for my kids cus they are still little.

Cons:

We did not fit in the parking lot, so we had to truck all our luggage and children from far away, up a big hill. It was so exhausting to arrive and to leave. The window in the bedroom with twin beds was completely pushed out. Letting the outside noise fill the room. My toddlers were too scared to sleep in there. Took several hours to get them down. The other bedroom that has a sliding door was also broken. The door does not stay shut on its own… so had to use towels and luggage to hold the door shut, but then that was also difficult because the kids couldn’t open the door to go to the bathroom. The floors were very dirty. My crawling one year olds knees were black after a couple minutes of crawling. There was no garbage disposal, which was inconvenient. There was no pots or pans. I had to go to the store and spend a bunch of money on Kitchen stuff I don’t need. It also would have been helpful to have trash bins or dumpster to empty all our trash bags.

Wonderful and great accomodation for a medium size family.
Pros:

Beach front location, has stove but needs to bring pan or cooking utensils. Thay have 3cups and 3 glasses but need to bring own spoons and forks if planning to eat meals inside the accomodation.

Adequate accommodations and a fantastic location!
Pros:

Location

Cons:

A. Shame that we don’t have face to face contact with staff during check in . Every company wants to cut costs, usually that is staff, for extra profit. The way of the world, nevertheless, not impressed. An absence of customer service everywhere especially since Covid. It gave businesses an excuse not to show up.

Great location and staff, few other perks.
Pros:

Location and staff. If we choose to drop this kind of money to stay here again, it will be because of the staff. Super responsive and helpful.

Cons:

Outdated, carpet was dirty (like I’m throwing my socks out), appliances and furniture worn out/old, everything just sort of dilapidated. There was a used cleaning cloth on the coffee table when we got there, no bath towels and a leftover gummy on the hallway floor. That being said, we did check in early… there were cups for coffee and water, but no other kitchen supplies. $25 charge for a utensil set. If you’re on the bottom floor (smaller rooms), you hear everything the upstairs unit is doing and saying…

We absolutely love this location and the suite apartment set up was so incredible for our family to be able to cook brea
Pros:

Location was incredible and the layout of apartment was very sweet for our family.

Cons:

Our master bedroom door knob fell OFF on the first evening and we could not shut the bedroom door, so it was very bright and loud. We called to have it fixed, but when they finally did come to repair it… It fell off after the first use again. Also, the neighbors on the other side of the bedroom wall next to us were so loud. It sounded like they were inside of our apartment and they were talking LOUDLY until after 3 AM!
