IDEAL LOCATION! Steps 2 Beach,Shops,Dining/Great Yard 4 BBQ

3 Bedroom Beach house, in the heart of downtown Capitola. Beach, shops, wine bars, and restaurants just steps away. Rent a surf board a few doors down, and walk 2 very short blocks to the beach! House is hip, comfy, and a great layout for families. Private, outdoor patio is perfect for entertaining, with comfortable lounge seating, a succulent garden, grill and dining table.

Newly remodeled kitchen is open to dining area and sunroom, creating a comfortable living space. Dining room table expands to seat 6-10. Sunroom has cozy, gas burning fireplace, and lounge seating facing the backyard. A perfect spot for morning coffee. Living room is at the opposite end of the house, with flat, screen TV and BluRay/DVD.
Two lovely bedrooms downstairs, charmingly furnished. Newly remodeled downstairs bathroom with full bath and shower.

The 3rd bedroom is upstairs, very large-- and, perfect for kids. It includes a 1/2 bath. Bunkbeds sleep 6. Twin mattresses on top, and Full mattresses on the bottom. There is also an additional 'play area' upstairs with a new full size futon. A flat screen TV and BluRay/DVD player are also located in the upstairs bedroom for in-bed movies!

Downstairs, beside the bathroom, you'll find a washer and dryer for your sandy clothes. And, our outdoor shower (with hot and cold water) is great for rinsing off, with plenty of room to hang wet suits and sandy towels.

This house is perfect for a family vacation, romantic getaway or girlfriends weekend. It has all the amenities you need for a comfortable vacation. House can accommodate 10, however it is more comfortable for 8 people (especially adults!). For that reason, there is an additional $50 charge per person, per night, over 8 people. PLEASE NOTE: If you see this listing on Craigslist, you are being scammed. I never advertise there.
