Captain's Cove – Ocean Views & Hot Tub

Such a beautiful location, and a really cool house to stay in for a few days!

Contacted agent 5 times over 3 days to get extra car pass. She never called back. She finally said they are in the binder on the coffee table. It is posted 2 places that the hot tub was cleaned on Monday! We are on the beach on Friday and see a man in our unit doing something with the hot tub. We were quite upset that someone had come in with all of our personal belongs laying around. There was no notice that someone was coming. Agent said they clean Monday And Friday. Both signs say Monday, nothing about Friday!! Agent doesn’t seem to know much about anything. And there was sand in the hot tub. Not from us, already there! One burner on the stove doesn’t work. I tried calling when we saw the man in our unit and the emergency number went right to voice mail.Our stay was just ok. I wouldn’t rent from this agency again.

Loved our stay at the property. Would like to stay there again in the future.

While slightly funky this property has an amazing view, fairly easy access to the beach, a hot tub (!), and is well apportioned. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Loved watching the ocean, the birds, the seals, the porpoises etc. The fireplace was so cozy and easy access to Santa Cruz and surrounding cities.

The proximity to the beach, hot tub, and multiple levels were perfect for our family. I would definitely come back for a future trip.

I stayed with my twin daughters (18y) and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Falling asleep to the crashing waves, enjoying the deck at sunset, and the hot tub before bed made it a truly relaxing experience. The location was great for day trips to Monterey, Santa Cuz, Miss Landing, even hiking Big Sur if you leave early.

We really enjoyed the location, and it was nice that two couples could each have a floor, plus the kids in their own space! We made good use of the spa and sauna, and loved the easy access to the beach. Be aware: there are A LOT of stairs - each floor has high ceilings, so maybe more stairs than anticipated. And the spiral staircase to the bottom floor is fairly narrow, so carrying luggage/beach toys to the bottom floor might be more easily accomplished by walking around!

Pros: Captains Cove isn't your ordinary attempt at a boat theme...the craftsmanship of the condo and custom wood work is amazing. On the beach location, quiet neighborhood, beach was never busy or congested. Plenty of room for family or two couples. Appliances and lights and hot tub all worked. Boogie boards and chairs in closet were a hit. Cons: Smoke detectors aren't working (please check into this). No where to dry wet towels because of all the wood. So many stairs, FYI! Only one TV on bottom floor which is also a bedroom so one lucky occupant gets the TV, but signal isn't strong and shows kept buffering and freezing up anyway. This condo really needs another, functioning TV; otherwise, we just stare at our phones...boo. The only functioning water hose to wash the sand off was on second floor balcony so we used the fire escape to get there, which was awkward. Overall, loved the condo. We'd be back if they fix the TV situation.

The home was represented accurately on the listing. It was easy and relaxing.

Very unique house. We loved the location and beach. The views are amazing no matter what room you are in! A few negatives would be.. having to pick up and drop off rental keys at the property management office. A cobo lock would be much more convenient. We use it for our own vacation rental on Maui. The bedrooms have no closets or dressers (rooms are small) and the stove/oven is tiny. But all in all we loved the house. The hot tub and sauna were lovely.
