Vaquita House on Beautiful Opal Cliff Drive with Access to Privates Beach

Great location near Capitola and Pleasure Point.

Overall enjoyed our stay here very much. The cottage is within walking distance to Pleasure Point and Capitola Beach. Also, was able to walk to Verve coffee, The Penny Ice Creamery, and East End Pub, Two Birds Books, and other stores along 41st Ave. Host provided clear directions to the cottage and how to access. There was plenty of hot water, water pressure was good, beds were comfy (my husband who has a bad back didn't have any issues). Upon arrival I noticed that the towels hanging in the bathroom were very damp. I notified the host and he assured me that they had just been washed and were clean. He offered to come by and give me towels to replace them but I just went ahead and put the towels in the dryer to dry them. There are a few housekeeping issues to point out. Like a lot of rentals and even hotel rooms the coffee maker and tea kettle were/are in need of cleaning and descaling. There was some coffee still in the carafe and the tea kettle had a lot of sediment on the bottom that began to float around after boiling water in it. Also, the front loading washing machine had visible mold on the inside bottom of the door and was wet. I did not need to use the washing machine but just wanting to point that out.

The house was small and cozy, overall very nice. We didn’t realize that the house was on a fairly busy road, so you can hear cars right outside the windows intermittently, otherwise pretty peaceful and a short walk to a beautiful nearby beach/cliff.

2 bedroom, one bath, good size kitchen and decent living area. Close to downtown Capitola, with Santa Cruz about 20 mins away, And Monterey about 45 mins away. No complaints.

We enjoyed our trip and the house was perfect. Great location, only a 9 minute walk to downtown. We will definitely stay here again.

Everything was perfect!

Really enjoyed the house. Location is Fantastic, host was available if needed. The chairs and beach towels were perfect! Thank you so much we had the best time!

This place was great for our party of 4. Clean, well-landscaped, and the owner Jon was very friendly.

Our 2nd stay at Jon's cottage was great! We love the location, layout and amenities, and had a super relaxing and pleasant week on the coast. Jon is easy to communicate with and made himself available as needed. Looking forward to another visit!

We liked being close enough to walk to the shops, restaurants and beaches. We had every thing we needed and really enjoyed our evenings playing cards. The beds were comfy and our daughters loved the room with the twin beds and door to the patio. We did need to bring in a 4th chair from outside to seat us all at the table.
