The reviews for this property are why we choose it but, I don’t understand how they wrote them. The house needs a scrubbing!! Take a wet paper towel and rub it a few times on the kitchen floor and it is black. Carpet is dirty and needs to be professionally cleaned or replaced. House has strong smell if pets and fragrance used to cover up pest smell. Each time we changed our 1 year old’s socks, they were very dirty just from walking around the house. Several other items need addressing: -Hood over gas stove is installed incorrectly and doesn’t vent air to exterior causing buildup of CO (safety/code issue) -Light switch in master bedroom missing faceplate making it easy for little fingers to get electrocuted (safety issue) -Several handles came off when simply opening kitchen cabinets -Master bathroom which is attached to master bedroom and has no window to outside has a broken vent fan. When smells are made in there, they have no where to go but into the bedroom/living area. -Blinds in each room were all bought too short resulting in lots of light coming in for people attempting a vaca sleep in. -Kitchen disposal didn’t work Also, be advised they are building a large house directly across the street. Each morning 6-10 trucks show up and begin work at around 8. They were roofing during the time we were there so saws, nailers, compressors all day. This wouldn’t have changed my decision to stay here but, I would have appreciated some transparency from the listing

The home is beautiful and stocked with amenities such as towels, bedding, beach equipment, dog bowls, laundry necessities, and even coffee grounds. The home was very clean and inviting and the backyard was great. The beds were all very comfortable with plenty of blankets. The home is located within 20 minutes of everything. The boardwalk is about 20 minutes away, Capitola Village is less than ten minutes away, and the Mystery Spot was 20 minutes away. It is close to shopping and restaurants. The beach that is a short walk away is a bit deceiving. The beach is maybe 150 yards wide and not one that you can set up an umbrella and spend the day. The tide is very high and mainly for surfing and locals who were not very welcoming of us out of towners. Overall we had a wonderful quick getaway and highly recommend staying at this beautiful vacation home. The owner, Akemi, was so sweet and wonderful to talk to.
