Capitola gem!

This little gem was great for our anniversary. Very quiet neighborhood and area. Just far enough away from Capitola Center crowds but close enough to walk to it for dinner and drinks. Staff was awesome...Continental breakfast brought to your room, straightened up your room daily, and grounds were nice and tidy. My wife and I would stay again!

We liked everything about this well maintained historic property. We parked the car and hiked all over Capitola dining downtown for lunch and walking over to Shadowbrook for dinner. Next time we will hike along a trail next to the property to a nearby beach.
