There is also a game room with a pool table and an additional huge TV.

We have beach chairs, boogie boards, and a selection of wetsuits for your use during your stay.

Our stay was wonderful! The property is gorgeous and the rooms were spacious. Kitchen had everything we needed including a coffee pot, pots and pans, etc. There was enough room for everyone to enjoy and relax. Just steps away from the beach and 12 minutes to downtown Capitola. The host was responsive and very accommodating which eased a lot of worry. Im excited to stay here again.

This is our second time of staying at the home for a week for a family birthday celebration. The house is absolutely perfect! The two downstairs TV/pool rooms were great for kids, the wetsuits were utilized almost every day, and the deck we enjoyed from waking in the morning until bedtime. The house has been remodeled between our visits, and it is top notch. We are already talking about renting it again in 5 years.

Fabulous Home for Family Reunion

The Sunny Cove beach house is an amazing property close to the ocean and fully equipped with all you will need for a fun getaway. Our host was responsive and helpful. Our family of 13 adults and one child played pickle ball, enjoyed the beach, and cooked/grilled huge meals in the spacious kitchen. We highly recommend this property for family gatherings.

Absolutely Perfect House!Over the years we have stayed at dozens of VRBO homes, and this house is certainly among the top three. Extremely clean, great beds and linens, kitchen is very well stocked, and there are activities galore for the kids (and adults). The bedroom/bathroom layout offers lots of privacy and there are quiet areas that are perfect for reading (or a nap). The location is great. Short block to the beach but traffic drops off to almost zero after dark so it is quiet. Everything you need is within a ten-minute drive. And to top things off, the manager is super easy to work with and exceptionally nice. Highly recommend this property.

Annual Family Trip

We had an amazing, great time in Amber's beautiful home! The space was perfect for our family. There were 12 of total, 8 adults and 4 kids. There was plenty of rooms and spaces for all of us to spread out, but still all hang out, play games and be together. We loved the pickleball court. We had a great Easter egg hunt for the kids. Walked to the beach and farmers market. We do this every year with our family and we all agreed this had been one of the best.

Excellent location and beautiful home

This is our moms groups 20th year going away together. We have stayed at this location 4 times and it is our favorite house by far. The location, size of the house and amenities are perfect. Three refrigerators, 2 dishwashers really help with making our stay easy and comfortable. Not to mention the fully stocked kitchen and toys such as basketballs and pool table. It has everything we want.
