Kid-friendly vacation 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.

Janiece was easy to communicate with. The house was beautiful, perfect for multiple people with loads of communal space.

Gabriel’s place is great for families with kids-my toddler didn’t want to leave! It’s such a cute, walkable area of Santa Cruz- very close to multiple beaches! The outdoor area is a dream for nice weather! I liked that there was a variety of living areas so if you went with extended family everyone could have their own space. Definitely recommend!

The Beach House was exactly as described - tastefully remodeled while retaining the classic Aptos Beach bungalow vibe. Very thoughtfully prepared with outdoor games and items you would need for a beach getaway. The outdoor area and backyard are cleverly organized for everything you would want. I just wish we could have stayed longer (and had warmer weather!). Lots of great information in the folder for things to do and places to eat. Kudos!!

Sarah’s house is beautiful and exactly like the pictures! Super communicative with our every need. Tons of space and amenities! Loved the outdoor patio and the peek a boo ocean views! Sarah is an amazing host. Would absolutely stay here again! Love the fact that we were able to bring our dog! Thank you again for the amazing stay and making my family feel so welcomed!

Felt right at home. We will definitely be back. When they say dog friendly, they truly mean it. Extra crates, bowls and well fenced in yard. We brought our own, not knowing what to expect. But we loved it. Beds were comfy and check in and out were a breeze. Location is well lit and really great. Street parking is limited if you’re bringing 3 or more vehicles, you’ll have to park across/down the street. But we only were one car so we didn’t have any issues! TVs in all room, so the teen was able to watch her shows without us fighting over tv. Truly was a great stay and I’m totally using their backyard as my inspiration for my house!

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.

Lori's place was perfect for a large group of people to both enjoy each other's company in the large living/dining/deck areas, while having privacy for sleeping. It's two stories with lots of space inside and outside with a third story outside crow's nest deck as well. The hot tub was a bonus! The beach access was incredible and the best thing about the location. It's just a 2 min. walk away! The neighborhood is tranquil. Lori was easy and great to work with as well! What a special time!

A beautifully appointed home in downtown Capitola. Walkable to the beach, bars, and shops. The house was fully stocked with amenities. The terrace was lovely for morning coffee, and sun bathing. 10/10

12/10!! Such a cute little cozy spot, and so close to everything. Enjoyed our stay here so much and the host was amazing!

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.

Stayed here for a couple of days for spring break. We will definitely be back. The location is amazing. Two blocks from the ocean and a beautiful walking path and 1/2 a mile to the beach. Really enjoyed our stay! Comfortable bed. For people with accessibility issues it is a second floor so there are stairs.

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

We had a wonderful stay at Alan and Amelie’s with our friends! We especially loved the comfortable, spacious, charming and sunny common space, perfect for all of us to hang out together. The place had good separation of space with comfortable beds, a clean bathroom and complementary coffee in the cute vintage kitchen. It was walkable to downtown and the beach - a perfect home base to explore Santa Cruz! Thanks for being such responsive and welcoming hosts.

Fantastic location with phenomenal views! The unit was clean and cozy and we had everything we needed for a great weekend away.

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!

Excellent 2nd stay at this beautiful condo , literally 20 steps away from the ocean . We had fun this time also , Long Beach walks are a must . The place is clean and well maintained , comfortable bed . Lots of beach stuff too .

Had a great time! Clean & cozy please with an easy walk to the beach! Already talking about returning again! So close to Santa Cruz & Monterey!

Perfect spot for a nice weekend vacation. Everything is within walking distance and our host was just amazing in every way! Will definitely want to come back again!

The view from this property was extraordinary with amazing sunsets from the deck each night. The location was perfect to visit Santa Cruz one day and Pinnacles National Park the next. The host was very responsive. We’ll definitely save this to our wishlist.

We liked this place so much that we returned for the second year for our winter getaway. The space is ample for a couple and the furnishings very comfortable. There are restaurants and coffee shops in easy walking distance and the beach is also just two blocks away. Aaron is always ready to help

My husband and I booked a last minute trip and this place did not disappoint. New to the area, our host gave some great recommendations in the area. The views were spectacular and the condo had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend away. We hope to be back to stay some time soon!
