About this house rental
We offer a beautiful two bedroom, one bath home on prestigious Opal Cliff Drive.
Vaquita House is a remodeled cottage steps from Privates Beach, our gated neighborhood beach. (Our county vacation permit is # VRAB00010.) The gate is open during daylight hours, providing access to this unique beach and great uncrowded surf spot. A seven minute walk along the ocean will take you to shopping and dining in Capitola Village and awesome Capitola Beach. Famous surf spots the Hook and Pleasure Point are also just a short walk away. A surfer's paradise; walk to your own break. Surfboad racks are right outside your door in a secure patio area for easy access.
Vaquita House comes with a full kitchen, stainless steel appliances, and everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal right at home. The house has hardwood floors in the main living space and carpeted bedrooms. Island themed art work fills the house with a laid back vacation feel. Both the queen bed (with organic mattress) and the twin-bed room (also organic) access the private landscaped patio through their own sliding glass doors. Relax in the sun with the outdoor dining table surrounded by flowers and hummingbirds. The patio deck is perfect for barbecuing on the grill or relaxing with a glass of wine.
Less than a ten minute walk to Capitola Wharf, Capitola Village, Capitola Beach, Pleasure Point, great shopping, and fine dining. Vaquita House is a short drive to downtown Santa Cruz and the beach boardwalk, and 35 minutes to Monterey. Perfect for a romantic getaway or family beach vacation.

Great location near Capitola and Pleasure Point.

Overall enjoyed our stay here very much. The cottage is within walking distance to Pleasure Point and Capitola Beach. Also, was able to walk to Verve coffee, The Penny Ice Creamery, and East End Pub, Two Birds Books, and other stores along 41st Ave. Host provided clear directions to the cottage and how to access. There was plenty of hot water, water pressure was good, beds were comfy (my husband who has a bad back didn't have any issues). Upon arrival I noticed that the towels hanging in the bathroom were very damp. I notified the host and he assured me that they had just been washed and were clean. He offered to come by and give me towels to replace them but I just went ahead and put the towels in the dryer to dry them. There are a few housekeeping issues to point out. Like a lot of rentals and even hotel rooms the coffee maker and tea kettle were/are in need of cleaning and descaling. There was some coffee still in the carafe and the tea kettle had a lot of sediment on the bottom that began to float around after boiling water in it. Also, the front loading washing machine had visible mold on the inside bottom of the door and was wet. I did not need to use the washing machine but just wanting to point that out.

The house was small and cozy, overall very nice. We didn’t realize that the house was on a fairly busy road, so you can hear cars right outside the windows intermittently, otherwise pretty peaceful and a short walk to a beautiful nearby beach/cliff.

My new wife and I greatly enjoyed our stay here. Place was well taken care of, especially during this COVID-19 season. Landlord even provided us a bottle of wine to celebrate our new marriage. FYI, some dishes and utensils weren’t cleaned properly, French press seem to be broken, and the tea kettle had mineral buildup when we arrived.House was still a great layout and comfortably decorated for our stay. We enjoyed the private beach access, and would gladly stay here again if we were in the area.
