Capitola Venetian Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location with a great view; the rooms are nicely decorated and have a warm feel. There is a small balcony to sit and watch the sunset. The Venetians of Capitola provide the feeling of being in Europe. Just amazing. So close to the beach and a nice little shower to wash the sand off your feet. Love the touchless checkin flow and everyone is so nice."

Inn at Depot Hill

"Beautiful historical property located in a terrific neighborhood. A couple blocks away from the sea cliffs or Capitola Village. Easy on-site parking. Very kind and accommodating owner and staff. Groovy (the dog) will brighten up your day! Will stay again."
