We took a last-minute trip to Capitola and booked a room at this Inn. The room was spacious and adorable and the beds were really comfortable. The office staff are incredibly sweet and accommodating. The morning breakfast was delicious. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful property and very pleasant and helpful staff. Can’t wait to visit again.
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The front desk was a welcoming experience, with a small tour of property and story behind the owners. If you are looking for an old school seaside getaway, look no further. Our room had a few cracks in the windows, contributing to the nights chill, but the blankets and heater were strong enough to keep us warm. Breakfast brought to the room was a nice simple touch.
