Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Capitola

Two families with 2 littles kids each (3-8yo) stayed there and it was perfect for us. The house is very spacious, perfect for the 8 of us. Nearby Boardwalk and other fun locations to enjoy with the kids. We picked some tomatoes and a couple of asian pears for breakfast and they were delicious. The kitchen is very well provisioned with lots of utensils and condiments that made our meals much better. Thank you Sun and family! I was a little bit scared with the almost 3 years old when I read some reviews, but he did great. He was interested in some National Geographic books in the living room and I hope we put them back in the right place :) looking forward to come back in the future.

Great house in a wonderful location. Comfortable furniture including the bedrooms. Kitchen utensils available for making elaborate meals. Short walk to the ocean and a large oceanside park with hiking trails. Good restaurants just a short drive away, as is downtown Santa Cruz.

We had a spectacular stay at this beautiful home. The location is perfect and walkable… but truly the house is so special you won’t want to leave it! Gabriel was an excellent and responsive host. We can’t wait to stay here again.

Colm has a wonderful house in a great location. He has a detailed binder with information on activities to do along with a pass for the CA state parks. I would highly recommend a stay.

Our stay at Sean's place was outstanding! The accommodation was beautifully designed, with all the comforts of home. Sean was a responsible and attentive host, ensuring I had everything I needed throughout my stay. I highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a top-notch experience. Thank you, Sean, for your hospitality—I can't wait to visit again!

Sarah’s home was our home away from home for a short weekend trip to Santa Cruz. It’s a very well equipped house with almost everything you might need in a vacation home. It’s a beautifully decorated cozy place, with easy access to restaurants, beach and all local things to do! Sarah was very responsive and helpful. We loved our stay at this home and you would too.

The only word that sums up Mike and Jen’s house is “WOW”! In the 10 years that I’ve been renting on Airbnb theirs is the first house that looks exactly how they show it in the pictures! This is truly a gem! The house was sparkling clean and the backyard was very well maintained. What was really impressive is they decorated the house with a Christmas tree and stocking over the fireplace. They truly make you feel like you’re at home. This shows that they truly care about the rental and its potential renters. Jen was very proactive in reaching out to make sure that we were ok and if we needed anything. This place was a great launching point for either Monterey or Santa Cruz. I definitely plan on staying here again.

Clean, comfy, and conveniently located for our road trip to Santa Cruz and the coast. We walked to shops, the marina, and the beach during our stay. The large dining table was great for playing Yahtzee while Alexa served up our favorite tunes on demand. Al, the maintenance guy who lives next door, introduced himself the first day of our stay, gave us his card, and offered to support whatever we needed—but we didn’t need much. A previous guest left a broken corkscrew, and I could've called Al. Instead, I walked to Day’s Market Liquors & Deli and bought a $5 replacement, along with freshly made chicken tamales that were absolutely delicious.

Great location with the best coffee, bakery, and pizza place next door! If you love to surf or enjoy watching the ocean all alive with sea life, sunrises, and sunsets this is the place! We enjoyed the sun on private patio with table & chairs, lounge, and couch; this was our favorite part of staying here. Only negatives: no washer and dryer which is a must at the beach and not enough towels for our week long stay as there wasn’t a washer & dryer so we could not wash towels. Overall it is as close to perfect in terms of location, cleanliness, well stocked kitchen, and furnishings!

We had a fantastic stay here! Beautiful property in every way. Upscale fixtures, appliances, countertops, shower, tv, etc. Everything modern and up-to-date and mint condition. Super comfortable beds and lots of space. We loved it and would absolutely come back!

Well-stocked, simply furnished bungalow-type attached residence in the Seabright neighborhood, convenient to the northeastern residential sections of Santa Cruz and to supermarkets and natural food stores. Many new, easy-to-operate small appliances and good laundry set-up. Ample kitchenware and condiments. Quiet city surroundings, easy parking. Overall, staying at the unit (and interacting with owner) was a pleasure.

Had a great stay at this airbnb. Matthew was a responsive host, and the place was perfect for a nice getaway that felt nice and secluded with plenty to do and beach accessibility just a short walk away. Highly recommend!

The place was comfortable and cozy. The decor was retro-vintage 80's-90's. Dan was quickly responsive to an outside lighting situation.

Great place to stay. Pictures were very accurate. Instructions to enter were easy to follow. Quick walk to Capitola Village. Very quiet place. Will stay there again when in Capitola. Had a problem with the shower drain and Dan came within 30 minutes of my email and fixed it. He was very nice and accommodating.

Grew up in Santa Cruz and coming back to visit, this place really felt like home. Thank you for sharing your space with us for the weekend. Look forward to coming back

Alan left very good instructions. He was very responsive. We really enjoyed our stay. It was very homely and relaxing which is exactly what we were looking for. Thank you. A & A

We stay at Seascape a couple of times a year, we love the location: beautiful beach walks, pools and hot tubs, walk to the market, and then just a quick drive to Capitola, downtown Santa Cruz, or even the boardwalk. This particular rental was lovely and very homey. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean, the kitchen is well appointed, there are two nice balconies- one with a great table that is perfect for cocktails or coffee. There are two pullout couches, which made the living room so fun to watch movies with the teenagers. More than anything, we appreciated the very accommodating host, who was kind enough to let us check in early so that we could leave our bags while we went shopping downtown. It was really a lovely stay. I recommend both Seascape, and this particular rental, very highly.

This was the cleanest AirBnB we've ever stayed in! Pristine! Tidy! Stunning ocean views from both the living room & primary bedroom. The entire villa has been remodeled yet still has the Old World Charm and coziness. This Villa is located on the 2nd floor of North Bluff - is very private - has a pool jacuzzi just steps away. The resort offers many amenities, restaurant, bar, room service (or pick up) massage, sauna - endless. Aptos Village is right across the street - walking distance offering many shops, market and a great place for pizza and Italian food. We will definitely stay with Sue again - as soon as we can! Next time, we'll try her other property #33. Sue is a GREAT hostess in every area and has earned Super Host many times over!

My wife and I stayed at Jason and Leigh Ann's place for three nights in October 2024. The unit is part of a nine building condo complex (Pajaro Dunes Resort) which is separated from the wonderful Seacliff beach by low dunes, and the passageway to the beach is right next door. The kitchen was well-equipped (no yard sale rejects) and organized. The amount of space was perfect for a couple and everything was spotless and tastefully decorated. Renters who plan to do cooking may want to bring all the spices, oils and other accessory components they need since only spray oil, salt and pepper was provided. When we visited, the ocean view from this ground floor unit was largely obscured by dune grass, which was higher that that shown in the photos. I noted that the rental price for comparable units on the second or third floors was much higher and, for the price difference, we'll look at dune grass. Maybe when we book again it will be lower.

If you are considering this place, look no further and book it now!! It is gorgeous, super functional, cozy, and so convenient to the beach. We had a magical weekend celebrating my mom’s birthday, enjoying cozy times by the fire, multiple walks on the beach, and feeling a million miles away. Thank you, My, for sharing your home with us!!

Great location! Jennifer was very accommodating and easy to communicate with! Highly recommend! We will for sure visit again!

Staying at Seascape was the perfect kid-friendly vacation. The pool was easy to access from our condo and the views were beautiful. The condo's set-up with two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and a half bath downstairs was great for our family of 5. The private beach was beautiful - we saw otters, whales, and my son found two perfect sand dollars walking down the beach. It was a little bit of a trek to get down to the beach with three little kids and all the beach gear, but once we were there no one wanted to leave. Several near-by restaurants were delicious, especially the newly opened Dos Pescados. It was fairly easy to get into Santa Cruz too, but we did have to time traffic or it would double the drive time (to almost 45 minutes).

Beautiful little place, with picturesque views of the Pacific Ocean and natural landscaping. Clean, comfortable and easy access. Lots of security that patrolled day and night, which is nice. Fine dining restaurant is within walking distance.

Aarons place was super cozy. The care he takes in decorating was delightful. Aaron's place has to be my favorite Airbnb I've stayed at so far. it's also walking distance to the beach and a long but walkable walk from downtown Santa Cruz and boardwalk.
