Beautiful Beach!

We had a great time staying on La Selva beach. The condo was perfect for a short getaway to escape the summer heat. Restaurants and groceries are a drive away, so plan accordingly. Amazing sunrises and sunsets on the beach with a fire pit for your use.

Family trip

We had the best time! Location was amazing. Spent most of the time on the gorgeous beach. Only negatives were that the check in/out was 15 minutes from the house (not a huge deal, but it made timing the checkout a little more stressful) and the mattress in the loft was extra firm (bad for us, not necessarily everyone). Don’t come if you have a hard time with stairs. We loved it and would definitely stay here again.

An epic birthday weekend

We rented the home for my boyfriend’s 54th birthday. The view was beautiful and the ambiance was very quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed direct access to the beach and made several bonfires. The property was clean and had all the basics readily available. The only drawback was heating. It was extremely cold and the fireplace didn’t provide much warmth. It was almost unbearable the first night. Overall, we liked the property and enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyed Christmas 2021!

This unit was, overall, a great place for our 2021 Christmas vacation. The unit is steps to the beach and provides awesome ocean views from each of the 3 levels. It’s an older unit, but well maintained and recent upgrades make it very comfortable. The only downside is that there were 5-6 remotes for the TV with no clear instructions of how to operate them. It was a challenge! Be sure to arrive with basic groceries (especially if you plan to prepare your meals) as the closest grocery store is a few miles away.

Perfect location!

My kids and I had a wonderful time. The location was perfect, right on the beach! We could run inside and grab a snack or use the bathroom or take a nap. If someone got tired they didn’t have to wait for everyone to be done at the beach. It was wonderful! I highly recommend this property to a family with kids!

Nice for family with younger kids

Nice for 2 families with kids ages 7 and 4. Location was obviously much more quiet than the public areas which was what we were looking for. Close access to beach a plus. We caught surf perch, boogie boarded and found plenty of sea shells

Amazing with endless beach and ocean views

Cozy tri-level (3 stories, lots of stairs) right on the beach. Walk down (more stairs) to the sand and beach. Not a lot of people as the state beaches are about 1/4 mile away. The couches were super comfy and the beds too. Very clean and the kitchen was adequately equipped (bring your own spices). I will be back to this property for sure! oh, and take your beach walks in the morning to score some sand dollars. :)

Sand Dollar Beach and .....family, priceless!

We have rented in this area before and loved that we got three nights for the price of two! So affordable especially on our limited retirement income! We were all so happy to spend time together even though weather was a little unpredictable it was enjoyable! Beds were comfortable, amenities a little lacking on the kitchen as far as silverware, wine glasses and paper goods! Also, some updates as far as sofa bed (maybe invest in a new one), and newer bedding ...especially with COVID in mind! You want to feel protected with new bedding! It also would have been nice to have a lockbox in place instead of traveling to Capitola, since we live in Gilroy! Maybe next time! Comfortable home right on the beach! Doesn’t get better than that!

Week in the Sand

We loved our 5 days in La Selva Beach! This house is incomparable for location. There is nothing like sleeping to the sounds of the ocean waves so close by. We would definitely come back! The only feedback we have is we wish there were locks on the downstairs bathroom and bedrooms, and we wish there was a full length mirror! Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Excellent location - lots of stairs

Place was decent, a bit of a throw back, wall heater and no restroom on the main level were the biggest downfall. Price was a bit high with all the fees and amenities that the place came with. Your paying for the location and ease of beach access.

Relaxing

This place was perfect! We came for a vacation with family. There was enough space for all of us. A few downfalls were: The oven kept turning off by itself (it's hard to bake with that) Most of the outlets were loose so it was a struggle to keep stuff plugged in The queen bed downstairs was no where near comfortable Other than the few little flaws, the location, coziness, and relaxation was perfect.
