About this house rental
Embrace a luxurious and whimsical lifestyle with your first step into the Famous and Historic Windmill Silo Beach Property!
Completely updated and restored to have function yet uniqueness for owners children, friends and family in an unbelievable playful setting. Custom designed touches and color are everywhere – both homes are totally unique! The Windmill kitchen sports tangerine orange cement countertops with stainless steal cabinets. The Silo kitchen keeps pace with zince counter tops and copper nails that set off the amazing colorful textured backsplash made from recycled San Francisco bus stop glass! Since the rooms are at different angles, the cabinets and beds had to be custom built. There is a surprise in every room - from the converted 1950's orange vintage refrigerator to the under lit glass bathroom sink; the list goes on! Creativity and imagination on the part of the owner and local craftsmen made it all work. The colors are bright, the décor is playful; the entire property has been customized as a perfect vacation spot for fun loving couples or families.
The Windmill House consists of two separate windmill tower homes that share the common yard, patio, putting green, hot tub, 2 outdoor showers and large porch with built in barbecue and fire pit that overhangs the Soquel Creek. This set up is ideal for families or close friends with children. The main floor of the back house has a beautifully remodeled kitchen, living room, full bathroom and the 1st bedroom which features a custom built Murphy Queen bed. The exterior stairs leading up the Silo tower take you to a large porch with comfortable seating area and on to the 2nd bedroom with Queen Bed and half bath (view looking out to the creek and trestle). Then, on up to the highest part of the Silo and the 3rd bedroom. This room is like Peter Pan’s getaway! Custom bunk bed for 3 kids, flat screen TV and view from the top!
The second home, which is adjacent to the first, has a similar floor plan. The main floor has been totally remodeled with a full bathroom, custom Murphy Queen Bed, large living room with gas fireplace, flat screen Roku T.V., laundry room, uniquely designed kitchen and appliances and state-of-the-art stereo/surround sound for indoor and outdoor enjoyment. As you make your way up the windmill tower, you will come to the 1st bedroom with one single bed and sink area. Going further up the windmill, you will find the 2nd bedroom with one single bed and a very cool and incognito urinal for the gentleman. Finally, at the top of the tower is another kid’s “lounge” area with two single futons folded up to a couch, Apple TV and views from the top! Kids LOVE it!
Most importantly, the Windmill house sits on the secluded and charming River Path of the Soquel Creek just steps from the famous Capitola Village and beach. You and your company can enjoy the sunset and creek-side wildlife from your private porch while you barbecue and the kids roast marshmallows over the fire pit. The custom made screen is easily accessed but safe for children. The sitting area around the fire pit is made out of stone which warms up with the fire and keeps everyone cozy while stories and laughter abound.
This home has it all! Fully furnished and richly decorated! All bed and bath linens are included as well as the essentials to get you started; toilet paper, paper towels, hand/dish soap etc. Just bring you and your loved ones and ENJOY!

This was my second time renting this place with a group of friends. It's such a special property! Super duper close to town, so couldn't be more convenient. The owners think of everything on the property. No detail is too small. Communication with the property manager is a joy! Checking in was a breeze.
The place is quirky so don't expect a lot of privacy in most of the sleeping quarters, but we knew that going in, so it's all just fun times!
Comfy beds, plenty of linens, kayaks, paddle-boards, great hot tub, great grill, the list goes on. I highly recommend renting this property! And I hope I am fortunate enough to stay a third time sometime!!

Lovely vacation with beautiful accommodations in the best location. This place has it all, and provides a most relaxing California experience.

Our family of 10 stayed her for 4 nights and we had a wonderful time in Capitola! We had three children and 7 adults. The house is decorated with beautiful tile and art. We were a couple of minutes from the village and the beach. Having the lagoon right there was great for the paddle boarders and kayakers. The hot tub was wonderful and the putting green was fun for the kids. The two quirky houses were great! The garden with the table was big enough for all of us to be able to eat together outside. I can't think of anything that would have made the house better. It was very well appointed with pots, dishes and refrigerators. Thanks for letting us stay there! Also Rose was very helpful. We hope to stay there again sometime.

Our group of 9 women couldn't have been happier at this fun, spacious and historic home on the water! Views from every room, comfy beds, plenty of outdoor space, cozy living spaces indoors...and all steps away from the best the village has to offer. We were regulars at Gayle's Bakery, the beach and Pizza my Heart. A trip to Shadowbrook is a must - just across the water! Thank you again!

We just spent 4 nights here and it was amazing. The house is really cool and fun and everyone had fun exploring the rooms and amenities. There was plenty of room for the 10 of us! We loved that we could walk into town in 5 minutes, but also sit out on our deck and grill and roast marshmallows. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to have fun in Capitola or Santa Cruz. It was an easy drive to lots of fun places including West Cliff where we watched surfers, USC where we went to a wedding, and even the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We really hope that we can go back there again in the not too distant future.

We've stayed at the Windmill house a few times now and each time the property seems better and better. The amenities are perfect for carving out your own resort like experience in the heart of Capitola and when you're ready to hit the beach or restaurants, everything is just a short walk away. Rose, the property manager, is always there to help with any questions and make you feel right at home.

Eclectic Property
We loved everything about our trip to Capitola and this amazing home. The owners have thought of everything and provided so many amenities that most short stays overlook. So many great reasons we’d stay here again: Getting up in the morning, walking less than five minutes to the local coffee shop and bringing it back to sit on the deck was a daily treat, jumping in our kayaks and the provided SUP for some exercise or a leisure paddle down the creek, having a glass of wine by the fire, or hanging in the hot tub while the kids played ping pong, and my favorite, the outside showers!

Excellent
Family really enjoyed everything about it. Hanging out on the deck and SUP and kayak on the creek was bonus.

Want for nothing
Our stay was incredible. We loved every minute and tried to use every amenity this unique property provided. There was nothing we needed except our own groceries and our happy family. Playing on the creek, walking or paddling to the beach, relaxing by the fire pit enjoying the local wine, even the outdoor showers were a hit with the family. The kids loved exploring and sleeping in a different room every night. Communication with the property manger was easy and quick. We would have loved to stay longer if time allowed, hopefully we can be back again soon. It is a magical place and special memories were made. -Crystal

Best spot in Capitola
We love Capitola and have stayed in many homes in the area. This home is by far the most unique, most fun, and best located spot you could find. Because we had lots of teen cousins, the windmill part of the house was actually perfect for them, with each kid staying in one of the twin beds! It is beautifully and artistically decorated and the home has something for everyone - hot tub, SUPs, kayaks, ping pong, and putting green. It was nonstop fun and we could walk or paddle to the beach if we wanted. Highly recommend!

Togetherness of utmost importance
Lifelong family and friends came together to celebrate the life of one of our matriarch and spread her ashes in the ocean per her wishes. This property gave a large group the opportunity to share memories, laughs and tears in a way no hotel could have. And, it saved us a lot of money which have pleased our loved one immensely. Lots of togetherness and individual privacy as well. Will forever be a treasured memory for all of us.
Thank you.

An Adventure House
The house was great. It was perfect for our family. The grandchildren loved the house and all the little funky touches that made it a fun “adventure” house. The adults loved the big deck and the location, a five minute walk to the beach and downtown Capitola. No need to use the car. We will come back.

A fun and interesting historical house to explore and sleep in.
The two houses on the property were nicely maintained, plenty of comfortable beds, kitchen ware, tables outside to enjoy the garden, ping-pong, putting green and kayaks and pedal boat to explore the Soquel Creek. Plus, a fire pit for smores which the owner provided as well as a bottle of wine!

Perfect for seeing friends while staying safe
This was just a magical stay, the house is perfect for two families especially for one to stay in one house and another to stay in the other house be able to hang outside safe distance but connect again. Especially with Covid. The set up is just amazing not only are you a stroll down to the beach but you have your own private deck, they have firewood ready to go, a lovely basket to welcome us and the kids just absolutely loved having their own floor of the windmill house each. There has been so much love and care put into this house and it shows. Rose the house manager was amazing, very quick to respond and we will be going again for sure.

Fun in Capitola!
Staying in the Windmill and Silo houses is absolutely fun! It is whimsical - definitely one of a kind! Great location walking distance to town, restaurants, beach and shops. We loved the dock and enjoyed the boats, games and hot tub! Very clean, two well stocked kitchens. A very special property to enjoy with your family and friends.

Great way to hang with the new inlaws
Our daughter got married to a great guy from England. We are from Sacramento and the temperatures were going to be triple digit so we thought a family honeymoon in Capitola would keep our new British family from melting.
They loved the area, of course, and really liked that everyone passing the property stopped and commented on how beautiful it was. We really were wowed by the fanciful interior and decorating accents that really makes the property a work of art. The property is really two buildings but they integrate into a single experience which was great for our party of 9 adults. The property is great for adults and older kids but i think if we had brought our 2 year old grand kids, they would have challenged us a bit since each sleeping area is on a different floor. The layout is very unique and fun, but also hard to comprehend, so a call to the property manager would be a good idea to make sure it fits your needs. For us it really knocked it out of the park. We were right in Capitola at the best location to reach beach and businesses.

Spectacular home in a fun and active neighborhood!
This home is unique and in a fun location for a large gathering of people. We go away once every couple of years with our large family, including our grandchildren and everyone loved this home. A comment I heard several times was, "Wow, we hit a home run!" Just a few houses in from the busy and crowded Capitola Village area, this home is located on the quiet riverfront. Easy waking to get a cup of coffee, or an ice cream cone, wine tasting, the beach or the corner market. We used all the amenities available at this home and all ages were very entertained. Everyone in our family would like to return. We all had a fabulous time!
If you are looking for a large rental with an ideal location and lots to do, you have found it!

Fantastic stay!
We spent a long weekend here for a family trip and really enjoyed this site. The house is really unique and you can't beat the location: walking distance to town and right on the creek. Everything in the house is high quality, from bed and bath linens to kitchen items. They also had beach towels available, beach toys, lots of games, blankets for sitting by the fire pit, firewood, etc. And the beds, couches and chairs were all comfortable. We would stay again for sure... it was fantastic! Thank you!

A perfect weekend getaway!
A group of friends and I spent a wonderful weekend at this beautiful and unique property! Even a unusually strong storm system could not dampen our spirits as we enjoyed the two kitchens and surprises around nearly every corner of the house. Rose was so helpful in getting us set up in the house, taking extra time to make sure the stereo system and TV were in working order. We did manage to take advantage in a break of the rain to take the shockingly short walk to downtown Capitola, which is one of the cutest towns I have ever seen. The property comfortably fit 10 of us and as we were walking out, everyone who spent the weekend turned to me and said, "we have to stay here again!" I completely agree, especially since the rain kept us from enjoying sitting creekside around the fire pit. I can't wait to make smores and enjoy another weekend at this wonderful property! Thanks for having us!

Awesome family vacation.
This was one of the best family vacations ever!! My initial reaction when entering the property for the first time was “Oh no what have we done???”But it didn’t take long to fall in love with this funky eclectic place. Our 3 grandkids (ages 12,9 & 5) lived on the boats. The kitchens had everything my gourmet cook son needed. We spent most of each day and evening on the dock patio. What an awesome place to relax! We’ll be back for sure.

We had such a great weekend at this lovely house. There were more than 10 of us there for our manager’s retreat and it was super comfy and warm. The house is so fun and vibrant, full of great energy and plenty of space to hang as a group or find a little quiet nook of your own. The location can’t be beat! It is truly a very special place. Thank you for the amazing experience!

I have had the pleasure of staying at the iconic windmill house on the river in capitola. the best part of the house is the deck - so many gatherings have been held here with friends and family. The neighbors are friendly and easy going. There is also TONS of room to bunk - you can fit 2 families easily! There are cute bakeries, restaurants and the beach all walking distance on the main strip. I highly recommend this house!!
