Capitola Venetian Vacation Rentals

All in all, a pleasant and peaceful experience. Chosen for location as much as for the property's unique history, CVH is a place I would gladly recommend to others. Don't expect a lot of frills but do expect a quiet and charming environment. Waking up to the sounds and scent of the ocean can never disappoint. Late night check in was quickly provided by a friendly night manager via an intercom at the parking lot gate. Parking on site was reasonable and convenient. I'll be back.

Great location parking was important.

The parking is very limited and tight

Great location, reserved parking clean room. "Ocean View" only if standing - looking across rooftops. Queen bed waaay too small for two average size adults. Good price point, excellent location for walking to the beach and a wide variety of restaurants. Friendly staff. No spare blankets in the room. Will probably return in the future.

The property is conveniently located near the restaurants and shopping centers. The only downside with our stay was the parking. My standard Lexus was unable to park on the property because of the uneven parking entrance. My car scraped across the pavement until I finally backed out from the parking entrance. I had to pay for parking at the meter. Aside from this I loved our stay.

The initial impression was, it was okay. Parking: it was tricky where to park, you have to go and call them once you’re there to lift the boom barrier. Staff: the front desk was real nice. She’s at the very front with the really tiny office. Cleaners are available only upon request. Room: there was an initial smell when you first go in and maybe you get used to it you don’t really smell after a while. It is not a bad, bad smell, more of the building having been flooded as well as being old. Having a kitchen was great. They have stove, coffee maker, toaster, microwave. Bring your own cooking pans if you plan to cook. No plates but coffee mugs and cups are available. Restroom was small but functional. Convenience: Close to the beach, close to the restaurants. We loved walking around and going back to the TINY HOUSE as we called it. We didn’t care for a perfect room just because we stayed out most of the time and only really came in to rest and sleep. IT’s GOOD if you don’t care so much about having too fancy of rooms.

We stayed at this hotel because the direct access to the beach and short walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Staff was great and we had a beautiful view of the beach. Parking is extreamly tight for larger vehicles. Inside the hotel room it was outdated and smelled a bit. Probable from the old carpet throughout the room. It wasn't horrible, but when you're paying $665 a night, you don't want to feel like you're staying in a rundown Motel. It might be a good idea to invest some of that money to modernize the rooms.

The location was nice as it was beachfront access in Capitola Village. The room was not quite as described, lacked in proper bedding for the number of people it could sleep. There is a kitchen, but did not provide any kitchen pots, pans or dishware without an additional charge. They also also charge for additional parking $20.00 a night for each vehicle. This would be quite expensive extra charge for multiple groups. There are only 2 rooms. Listing makes it look like you have 4 rooms.

the 2 things I did not like was that if you arrive before 4pm you were charged 30 dollars. they also did not say you have to pay 15 dollars each night to park in there lot. We paid over 700 dollars for 2 nights I think we should have had free parking.

Is there such thing as too close? This is it. Great location with easy access to the beach and Capitola Village. Parking is impossible. Older hotel and shows its age. The biggest challenge is the fact that it's so conveniently located to the beach that families let the kids run around and act Out of control. There is no peace. Screaming and yelling 12 hours a day.

I've stayed here years before and it was so much better. The check-in service took forever and us having to come back multiple times. They first gave us a room that still wasn't cleaned. Bed a mess, pizza boxes on the table, etc. Just was not a good stay compared to years before and especially for the price of one night.

The room had no TV and very dirty

This room was not clean, had an odor. It was cleaned after our first night. We complained about the noisy fridge twice and missing weather stripping under the door. We were compensated 20.00. We have stayed here before and had no issues. It is a wonderful location, fabulous views, but this room needs repairs. We will not return.

The hotel is very quaint and we enjoyed our stay overall. The walk to the beach was the highlight. Walking distance to the town was a huge plus! The only complaint we had was the bathroom was very small and not as clean as it should have been.

You can't beat the location! right on the water, right in Capitola Village. That part is spectacular. And from a distance, it is adorable and scenic! But this is a property built in the 1920's and is apparently on the registry of historic landmarks. Don't get me wrong, very cool. But as such, it is old and could use some sprucing up! The bathroom is tiny and dilapidated, the carpet one you don't want to walk on barefoot. And the old motel smell that hits you as you enter is just hard to stomach the entire stay. Would we stay again? Probably, as the location and quaintness of it is excellent, but now I'm better prepared to know what to expect. But beds and pillows very comfortable-that was a big plus!

Wonderful stay. Our room appeared very clean, until we went to bed. The sheets had not been changed from the previous people because the bed was full of sand.

The room was dirty and smelled bad the bed was behind a half wall so you couldn’t see the TV and the TV didn’t work. And the check in clerk wouldn’t even let us in the parking lot because she couldn’t be bothered on her ‘mandatory break! We will be asking for a refund from Expedia.

Loud neighbors. After hours staff was quick to address it after complaining. Walls are thin so noise is unavoidable. Bugs flying around in bathroom. Outdated appliances and rundown furniture.

Rooms are super clean, quiet and fun! Will definitely be back.

First they do not answer thier phone! Could not confirm reservation or unit as requested. Then poor attitude from staff in giving customers any time at counter. Room was below sidewalk so every foot step was heard. There was a metal gate attached to the room wall that clanged LOUDLY with every public and resident who walked through ALL NIGHT LONG.

The view was wonderful from our room. To wake up to the sun rising and the ocean waves was beautiful.

We stayed in room #133, which is the end unit right by the bridge and busy street. It was noisy because of the people/car noise, but the location was amazing! No views though. Spacious room with a gas fireplace. Pull-out couch with a 2nd bed in living room and another bed in the bedroom. Stove/oven was small, but big enough to cook on. Full-size refrigerator. Would stay in this unit again, even with the noise.

It's right on the beach and that excuses much. My room was odd, had been a studio with separate dining room but had been switched so that bed was jammed in the former dining room, 3 sides against the walls. Only motel room I've ever been in where the tv was not visible from the bed. Had kitchenette with gas stove/oven but they really don't want you to use it, no pots plates knife fork salt or pepper, not even paper plates. Just a fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster. Bathroom toilet alcove claustrophobically narrow. There is no heat or a/c at all in the room, fine in warm weather. Parking is hell, I nearly got towed just trying to check in but once in, it's included. Elsewhere in Capitola Village, you'll need a bag of quarters. But despite all this, it's right on the beach, and you can hear the waves at night.

Excellent location. Understandably this is not an upscale property and the main value is in its location. But I think there are a couple of easy fixes to improve the customer experience a lot. We stayed in Room 141 - the blinds don’t work fully and being right next to the parking lot and the walkway it is hard to sleep. Some real blackout curtains would be very helpful. Another problem is in hot summer days there is no effective cooling. One of our bedroom had a ceiling fan and that runs extremely slow and is ineffective, the other bedroom had none. We called the office and asked if there are tower fans. There was none - I think adding some modern functioning cooling options to the guest rooms will greatly improve experience.

The best thing is that it’s close to the beach but our room was ready close to six pm instead of 4 pm as there was only one housekeeper working on a Monday holiday weekend which is weird! TV didn’t work for channels or on demand and it’s an old tv model which doesn’t give you access to your Netflix account, other thing is the noise from the upstairs room you can pretty much hear any steps from guests upstairs, I usually don’t complain but for the amount I paid I was expecting more I guess!

I liked the spacious rooms and kitchen.

The units were clean and spacious. Unfortunately, I had two young children above me who stomped and ran around until 10pm and started again around 6am. I will absolutely stay again, but only in an upper unit.

Very helpful staff

I've stayed here years before and it was so much better. The check-in service took forever and us having to come back multiple times. They first gave us a room that still wasn't cleaned.

We ended up staying for an additional night and left keys behind. We have called Text emailed and left voicemails to staff over the past four days. They will not return any calls. They will not reply to emails. They replied to a text saying send a prepaid FedEx, which we did however, they have not printed it out. They haven’t printed them out or mail the keys. They haven’t returned the keys terrible customer service.

Perfect room for our whole family. Not very many rooms will fit all 8 of us. Perfect location as well. Everyone loved the convenient access to the beach and the downtown eating spots. Will definitely come back! All of the staff were super friendly and helpful in the office and the housekeeping.

This is our “go to” when we come to Capitola. Front desk staff was exceptional! Can’t beat the location.

The night manager was very helpful and friendly It was a great room for our family to all be able to stay in together.

Nobody was in the office. Had a wait an hour and a half before somebody came no towels in the room when I called they said they were out of towels and they were in laundry not good.

The hotel was great but when I got home they double charged me on my Debit card after I paid Expedia in FULL back in January!

Great location

Loved the location

The motel is unique and iconic. It is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. It is extremely accessible and walkable to downtown Capitola and the beachfront.

This location is a perfect spot to stay for easy walking access to the beach, as well as the downtown shopping and dining locations. Very nice, I will definitely be coming back.

Great little spot right on the beach with great views and walking distance to the town and restaurants!!

I didn't know this was the "colorful" property I had once seen before when picking up a relative from the area a few years back. It's extremely close to the beach and close to the downtown area (restaurants and shops/boutiques), convenient to walk to. I would not recommend #133, as this is at the corner and riddled with foot traffic and folks gathering for too many selfies. (It fits seen to have the only cool-looking door though, with a pelican on it. 😆) I appreciated the opportunity to check in early ($30 fee). I was aparri made aware of the same fee for optional late check-out of 1pm, which is 2 hours beyond regular check-out. So if you want to grab breakfast before leaving the property and having to pay for public parking, this is a viable option. The fishing pier is within walking distance as well, with a boat/bait/fishing pole shop near the end of it. All-in-all, the hotel receptionist was kind (once I explained I was told I could check in early by evening receptionist and not demanding it on the spot) and provided information about the area and some things to do. In fact, they were the reason we went to Shadowbrook for lunch the following day, which was magnificent. Definitely plan on renting from here in the near future. Thanks again!

Great location, right on the beach and we could leave the window open and hear the waves. Plenty of space for an extended stay.

Wonderful location! Views were outstanding from our suite, quaint hotel, not a lot of amenities (no pool, breakfasts or dining on site) but conveniently located to the beach, waterfront and restaurants.

Front desk staff not customer service at all! Booked a full kitchen unit advertised as 2 queen and 2 double for 8. Had 2 queens and a broken down pull out sofa. Kitchen had NO cooking pans or utensils. Asked office if rhey had silverware for the kitchen and ahe said we can rent them for $50. Bought plastic at the corner market for $2.89. Location and.room otherwise nice. Need to let customers know they need to bring everything for the kitchen

I've always wanted to stay in the little houses. It was quite nice, except to use the kitchen, you have to rent dishes ($25) and pans ($25). Had I known this, i could have brought dishes and silverware from home so we could have our breakfast. Had to do a dash to the grocery store and buy some paper plates/plastic flatwear. Didn't need to be able to cook, but I might have wanted to. Usually, a kitchen implies that it's possible. We had an issue with one of the lamps, and the staff fixed it immediately. Otherwise, it was a great location and now that I know about the dishes, I can bring my own. I definitely would come again.

This a great little place to stay. Definitely walking distance from everywhere. Take the time to go tobthe Shadowbrook Restaurant up the hill. Free shuttle is an old Checker Vab. They pick you up right out front. Kitchen is small, but great for short stays. There are no utensils or plates, pots pans etc if you plan on cooking your own meals. Didnt matter to us, dining was a 3 minute walk away and the restaurants are worth it. The rooms are cleam and the little wall heaters get the winter temps up just fine. We will definitely stay here again. Absolutely fell in love with it.

Good basic hotel room with kitchen but no dishes, utensils, etc. ($$). All about location! Beach right outside the door!

The place was very outdated. It was false advertising because it advertised a kitchen yet there were no utensils and the kitchen was ancient. We had to pay $50 extra to get utensils. The location was terrific but the place itself was very dingy. Will not recommend this place

The property was nice and clean. The beach is conveniently near by and shopping and restaurants where also near by. The only thing we had to bring our own cookwar, dishes and utensils. Other than that we really enjoyed it.

The young man that showed us to our room wanted to charge us 25.00 for kitchen supplies. This was not mentioned in our initial booking.
