Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
A nantucket-inspired cottage in Capitola was designed by award-winning architect Tobin Dougherty. This iconic beach house has been showcased in many publications, including Sunset Magazine, Fine Homebuilding, and Better Homes and Gardens. It is a true architectural gem that I am honored to share with you and your loved ones.

Conveniently located just a .3 miles/6 minute walk to Capitola Village, Gayle's Bakery, and the Beach.

The space
This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom 1,513 square feet cottage is well equipped with a home office set-up and a flexible living space. Depending on your needs, the downstairs family room can turn into a guest suite with complete privacy.

Work from home in the tower office filled with views and light.

Relax on the main outdoor patio sheltered by mature trees and beautiful landscaping. There is also the crow's nest and patio off the kitchen to enjoy your morning brew privately.

The attached garage holds one car, with room for another in the driveway.

Guest access
Parking in Capitola is limited. That is why you are set at this Airbnb. You can walk everywhere and even to the Shadowbrook restaurant. If you don't feel like walking, call the Shadowbrook restaurant, and they will send a taxi free of charge with your reservation. (please tip the driver).

Other things to note
The cottage is not childproof. Please keep in mind the high office and stairs.

Neighborhood highlights

Named one of Sunset magazine's "best beach towns," the City of Capitola sits on the shores of the Pacific Ocean with a breathtaking view of Monterey Bay.

Capitola is a quiet beach town about five miles from Santa Cruz, popular with weekenders from the San Francisco Bay Area and the Central Valley. This quaint seaside village began as a humble camp. Camp Capitola, as it was known, welcomed its first guests in 1874, making it the first beach resort in California.

Capitola hosts many fun events year-round, including live music, car shows, the Art and Wine Festival, and more! The Capitola Twilight Concerts are hosted on Wednesday evenings during the summer months. All concerts begin at 6 p.m. and take place at the Esplanade.

With over 75 years of history, Shadowbrook is one of the most unique restaurants in the West.
