Perfect place to stay. Beautiful property. Nice walk to the village (about 1/2 a mile). Room was older but we didn't mind. Bed was super comfy and continental breakfast delivered to room is a nice perk. Excellent customer service. Would defintely stay there again!

Hidden Gem
The company offered a delicious breakfast! The grounds were beautiful, and we hiked and spent time outdoors. I wish we had gone during the fall to see the Monarch Butterflies. The staff was super friendly. We would stay there again. We stayed in the mansion with a view of the ocean. We walked to Capitola and back.

Capitola gem!
This little gem was great for our anniversary. Very quiet neighborhood and area. Just far enough away from Capitola Center crowds but close enough to walk to it for dinner and drinks. Staff was awesome...Continental breakfast brought to your room, straightened up your room daily, and grounds were nice and tidy. My wife and I would stay again!
