Rooms with Ocean Views

Capitola Beach Suites, located on the beachfront in Capitola, offers rooms with balconies and ocean views. Each room includes a wardrobe, a flat-screen TV, a seating area, bed linen, towels, and a private bathroom with a hairdryer and a shower. Certain rooms feature a kitchen equipped with an oven, a dishwasher, and a stovetop. Most rooms are studios and the old showers are very small but the renovated rooms really get it right.

Dining Options

Each suite includes a tea and coffee maker. Some suites feature a full kitchen with a dining table or bar. Kitchenware is also provided in the suites. We use the 'drip-basket' style coffee maker in all the rooms. We also provide the coffee from a local roaster so your morning cup is always fresh.

Leisure and Facilities

Capitola Beach Suites features a 2nd-floor open-air rooftop terrace with a 360° view of Monterey Bay. A full-size elevator provides access to all floors. There are no swimming facilities on site.

Location and Proximity

Capitola Beach Suites is 60 meters from Capitola Beach. The property is 2 km from New Brighton State Beach and 10 km from Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Popular points near the accommodation include Thomas Kinkade Capitola Signature Gallery (0.3 km), CineLux Capitola Cafe & Lounge (1 km), Esplanade Park (0.5 km), Rispin Mansion (1 km), Capitola Beach (0.3 km), Potbelly Beach (2 km) and Capitola Historical Museum (0.5 km). The wharf is 100 yards to the right. This is about the best place to hang out when visiting Santa Cruz - you never need to drive anywhere.

Services and Amenities

Check-in time is after 3:00 PM, and check-out is by 11:00 AM. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. Rooms designated 'carport parking' is the designated spot in the carport area. Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport is 60 km from Capitola Beach Suites.

“Suites boast fully equipped kitchens and individual balconies, perfect for families or couples seeking a memorable experience; however, the overall impression suggests a property undergoing phased improvements. The rooftop terrace with its communal fireplace, coupled with the friendly service, strikes me as a unique selling point in bustling Capitola. It's a place with character, promising both relaxation and a prime location.”
