Family-friendly vacation rentals in Capitola

I had a great stay here with my daighter and german shepherd. It was great to have the beach all to ourselves every morning by walking just a block over. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and the greenery outside was wonderful. Would definitely stay again!

The home met out needs perfectly and Sun is a very welcoming host. Our family was very comfortable and we enjoyed the home as a great place to gather and have family time. The home is beautiful and we took great family pictures is the backyard. The location is quiet and felt private.

Tranquility Base…surely lived up to its name. So comfortable, so charming we felt like a part of the forest. The whole place had so much personality we felt right at home Magical and enchanting getaway Highly recommended We’ll be back

Place was great! Small, but that was great for us. Loved that it came with the bikes, surfboards, hot tub, fire pit, etc. we used everything! Evan was very responsive to questions and helpful with recommendations.

Annie was a great host and the place was exactly as described and just what we needed for a relaxing beach getaway. We loved the hot tub in the backyard and the beach cottage feel of the place. Thank you for hosting us!

We had a lovely visit in Santa Cruz. We were in town for an event at UCSC and this place worked great for our needs. Erin was lovely and the Airbnb was cute and as described.

This is a very nice home in a great location. We had a lot of fun!

Julia’s house was perfect. Very clean, well decorated, but not cluttered. It has everything you could need for cooking. It is a very comfortable place to stay.

This neighborhood is safe and peaceful. We have stayed at The Dunes numerous times over the last 4 years. Lisa’s home is beautiful and inviting. We all felt very comfortable and relaxed. It is such a gorgeous area and the staff at the front gate is always so helpful too. I had to reach out to Lisa multiple times throughout our stay and each time her responses were quick and respectful. It was a delight to chat with her and we are definitely planning to come back and would rent this home again.

A recent stay at Robert’s home in Ben Lomond was exceptional. The property felt like home from the pictures on the wall to the books in the bookcase. The fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and toiletries was like walking into our personal family vacation home with everything clean and organized. Upon our arrival, we contacted the owner to let them know we arrived. We enjoyed a welcoming orientation of the property. The location was ideal with convenient access to stores and restaurants. We could not have selected a better place to enjoy quality family time and celebrate a graduation from UC Santa Cruz. This was a super stay and gets our highest recommendation.

We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

Amy was the perfect host. She was kind and responsive. Great location and beautiful view. We will stay here again!

Love this place! Will definitely come back!

Himani was super sweet! She made sure she was available when we arrived to give us the keys then gave us a run down of the place. My husband and I stayed with our friend and her fiancé so it was perfect as there were 2 private bedrooms, each with a private entrance outside. Each couple had our own half restroom and shared a shower, so if you don’t mind that, this place is perfect! Super close to Capitola and seascape resort where we attended a wedding.

It was a great stay. We loved our time there and would definitely visit again.

It was beautiful, private, and a hidden gem! We had lots of fun and enjoyed all the views throughout the house. The house is even better than the pictures. We had our 2 boys, had plenty to do between the beach, books, basketball, spa, ping pong, and games! We definitely recommend and would go back! Not to mention I love artichokes and this house is located in artichoke city!! So amazing!! 10/10 you won’t be disappointed!

We had the most amazing stay with our newborn & dog. Walkable to a number of restaurants, coffee shops, and the beach, and a short drive to the cliff walks. We loved being able to put the baby down to sleep in the dark bedroom & eat dinner in the peaceful backyard. Plus, the fenced yard made it easy to let our dog out to go potty (it’s the little things!). We are eager to stay here again!

Fantastic stay doesn't cover it! Kim and Pam's bungalow instantly felt like home. This is a fully stocked house with anything you could possibly need - kitchen wares, beach accessories, extra linens, grilling tools! The warm days and cool nights made for comfortable sleeping. We loved using the outdoor shower, relaxing in the hammock and cooking out in the yard. The location, both in proximity to the beach/marina + being in between SFO and Monterey allowed for fun day excursions. Kim's communication regarding all details was exceptional.

This stay is absolutely amazing. Comfy bed and furniture. Stocked Kitchen. Steps to the beach. Closet full of beachy things. We had fun flying the kite. Built bonfires just over the dune on the beach. 🏖️ Don’t hesitate to book. This place is it.

Lauren, Matt, and little Rex are absolutely wonderful—such warm and welcoming hosts! We had an amazing time at the farm. It was one of the most fun and unique Airbnb stays we've ever had. Already missing all the adorable farm animals: George, Niki, Marsh, Mello, Mochi, Miso, Biglet, and the 50 others we didn’t get to name :) The breakfast was incredible—especially the sourdough and the kale smoothie. Everything was fresh from their beautiful backyard. Can’t wait to come back!

Great location. Clean and quiet. We enjoyed our stay. Would recommend.

Our stay in Aptos was very relaxing. It took about 20 minutes to get to and from downtown Santa Cruz via the freeway. We had 5 people in our group and really appreciated that the property was pet friendly. Communication with the host was excellent throughout. There is a cleaning checklist for checkout, but it wasn’t an issue. The home is two stories, with the bedrooms and a shared bathroom located downstairs, and the kitchen upstairs. It’s conveniently located near a Chase bank, Rite Aid, Safeway, and Peet’s Coffee. The neighborhood itself is very quiet. Overall, we had a great stay.

One of our favorite Airbnb stays so far. The surroundings were beyond compare. So peaceful, beautiful and comfortable. My daughter and I loved our time at the cabin, and will have to come up with a reason to come back! Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your little piece of heaven in the redwoods!

Pictures don’t do justices to the house. Lilian’s place is very well decorated and comfortable. It’s 7 mins away from beach and is in very peaceful neighborhood. We would love to come back again.
