Clam review

We had a wonderful vacation here. Place was clean and maintained. Carpet should be replaced . People should be aware that there is no beach access from condo itself. There is a staircase and gate on each side. Ocean views were fantastic. Would definitely recommend this place.

Fun at the beach

We had a great time, enjoy the resort will return again next year. The pictures posted on the internet are a little misleading, you have to go down some stairs to get to the beach. I would recommend this location the clam hut to anyone

Beautiful View

Loud Waves Crashing, Beach Chairs Available!! Plenty of hot water for a family of 4. Quiet neighborhood, laundry options were perfect. Plenty of sea shells for the hunter and gatherers. lots of stairs and lots of walking which we surely enjoyed. What would of been helpful comfier beds (extra pillow top of sorts would of been nice) Nothing available to wash our sandy feet before coming in the house (would of liked a hose of some sort) No recycle option (everything went into one bin) The carpet was in horrible shape - you did not feel comfortable sitting on the floor or taking your shoes off, pot holders of some sort would of been nice to help with cooking, a tea kettle would of helped to boil water for tea, a few more plug options instead there were multiple plugs hanging out from single outlets, downstairs bathroom shower fan did not work and set the smoke alarm off when taking a hot shower.

The listing is accurate for the townhouse. Great beach, with lots of sand dollars. Neighbors are a little inquisitive but overall friendly. My only concern, was with the large number of off leash dogs.

Nice place to stay...

I was pleased with the overall booking. Beautiful views, loud surf right outside, semi-private beach. I wish I'd paid better attention to the details though. This is a 2 story accommodation and I guess I didn't read the description well enough to catch that. That's on me though. The only real issue I had though was the mattress was a little too firm. Ended up sleeping on the couch instead. I probably won't be back, only because I don't do well with stairs. I highly recommend this for others without that limitation though.

Not as Described

The place had an old house smell that was bothering, especially upstairs. The water in the sinks barely trickles. The keys must be picked up in person in a different city (Capitola) and that is not OK with current gas prices, very inconvenient. The office was very responsive though, thank you!

Beautiful beachfront place in quiet La Selva Beach.

Location is amazing for relaxing getaway in Monterey Bay. 15 min into Capitola or Watsonville. Windows look out on to the beach, and sunsets in the evening are jaw dropping. Check-in and -out process requires a trip into Capitola, which is fine but could really just be solved with a lockbox on the door of the place.

Excellent views! Great location!

Excellent location. Lovely views from both bedrooms and living room- incredible sunsets! Cozy and clean. Proximity to seascape and other locations in Aptos, Capitola and Santa Cruz is just awesome. We’ve now stayed in this very complex on 3 separate occasions and just love returning to it. The beach itself has great access from this complex and is relatively quiet (no too crowded). The only issue: toilet in downstairs bathroom kept running water - I kept fixing it by adjusting the chain on the flapper which would fix it - just a bit of a nuisance since the noise of the running water was disturbing.

Fall Break Vacation

We took daughter and grandkids to the beach for their fall break from school in the Denver, CO area. We have stayed there before. Condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for 4 nights. Had a great time at the beach but wish we had direct access rather than using the community stairs.

Great Location

We had a great time. Our only complaint is the description of the kitchen is that it had a well stocked pantry. We assumed that meant spices and maybe olive or vegetable oil. It only had Salt and pepper. No big deal.

A Relaxing Ocean Getaway!

This was a great property overlooking the ocean. My wife and I and our two young adult daughters had a wonderful time here just relaxing away from our home in the Pacific Northwest. The steps to the beach were close by and easy to access. The view was spectacular from every room. Expect fog in the morning but blue skies by noon. The beach is quiet and stretches long enough for great walks or jogs. The property is well used but everything functioned except for one window handle was that was broken before we arrived. We appreciated having to pick up the keys in Capitola because that led to discovering the Capitola beach and surrounding restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay at the Clam Hut again!
