Great Location, just step out and the beach is right therer! FYI No kitchen really....

My husband and I visited to celebrate our 20th anniversary and both of our 40th birthdays! We’ve loved the Venetian properties since the first time we saw them over 20 years ago. The Pink Venetian did not disappoint. Everything about our stay was perfect. The property had everything we could need (chairs, umbrellas, towels, beach games, etc). The only thing we’d add if possible was a kitchen sink, but it wasn’t a huge deal. We ate out for our meals anyhow. When we parked the car Thursday evening, we didn’t even get back in it until we checked out on Sunday. Everything we could need was just a short walk. We had the best time just relaxing and enjoying the beach. We’d definitely return!

Location is excellent. Close to restaurants, shops and right on the beach. What could be better? 🙂

Our family stayed the week in Capitola. Great location right on the beach. Very easy check in and plenty of space for the 4 of us! It was really helpful with them supplying beach chairs, umbrellas and games for the kids. The only thing is I have little ones so they are always on the floor playing and when we got there the floor could have been cleaner. There was sand ( which I get, we are on the beach) and then under the couch was quite dirty. They do supply a broom so definitely had to give it a good sweep before we unpacked. They support parking pass which is amazing but parking can be hard due to you finding parking on the street. But over all great stay and my kids had a blast. We went in June and had the best 90 degree weather.

We enjoyed our stay very much! Being steps from the sand was so convenient. All of the sand games were fun for the kids!

If you’re looking for a family vacation spot look no further! This place offers you everything within walking distance.

The stay was ok. However, the bed was horrible. With two people on the bed, you just roll in the middle. I was glad I did not have to sleep in that bed more than two nights.

My friend and I loved this little studio right on the beach! It’s great to hear the splashing waves at night. Once you are parked there is no need for a car the rest of your stay as you are right on the beach and can walk to restaurants and shops.

The Pink Venetian is definitely charming and the location can't be beat. Be aware that there is no sink in the kitchen and dishes must be done in the pedestal sink in the small bath. Very spacious unit but the bed is against the wall on one side. Very bright reading lamp at bed side was much appreciated for reading in bed. A unique, if pricey experience.

Pros: Location Clean Location Cute Location Communication Have I mentioned location? Things to know before you go: This isn’t the place to sit inside and stare at the ocean. The windows are too high. That was ok with us because the weather was fantastic and we enjoyed the Adirondack chairs but if the weather was poor we could easily forget that we’re on the beach. As mentioned before, parking isn’t great. The closest spot we could find was on the Esplanade.

Nice place

Great location, fun beach games, wonderful Capitola.

This is a great place to stay if you want to be right on the beach, and very close to downtown shops and restaurants. The only reason I didn't rate at 5 stars is the parking situation. There is no on-site parking, and as such, you are "fighting" with tourists and locals to find a spot every time you use your vehicle. The city parking rules are complicated and annoying, and there isn't much signage on the actual streets. I ended up with a parking ticket. Not the property manager's fault, but it is a detractor from this amazing condo in an awesome location. One more small complaint: the pedestal sink in the bathroom is useless if you have ANYTHING to set down aside from a toothbrush (like contact lenses, etc.). Again, a minor complaint, and probably wouldn't prevent me from staying again! Overall, a super fun place to stay, and the Property Manager was VERY responsive, which helped greatly with all the parking nonsense.

Location is everything and this place was perfect. It has everything but a kitchen sink (really) Bed was comfortable, bathroom was small but functional. We felt completely at home here. Looking forward to coming again.

My fiancé and I loved this property and can’t wait to come back! We loved being able to park our car and leave it all weekend and walk everywhere. I highly recommend staying here!!

We love Capitola and this property does not disappoint! It’s a fantastic location and so clean. It was a easy check in process highly recommend!

Our family had an amazing trip. You literally cannot get any closer to the beach. House was clean, had the amenities we needed, and check in / out was smooth. There are plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. Would definitely stay again.

We had the best time at the Pink Venetian! The location was perfect and so was the stay! We definitely will be back!

We had a great time during our stay. The place was perfect for our group of three (2 adults and 1 child). My son made friends with a boy staying at a neighboring property and they played on the sand until 8pm one night. We could relax in front of the unit, easily keeping an eye on them - that wouldn’t have been possible anywhere else.

My favorite part of this trip was the ease of being at the beach with a young child and not have to worry about lugging around beach gear, snacks or having to find a bathroom. Everything is literally at your fingertips or super accessible. The unit itself was nicely decorated, very clean with a great high-end entertainment center. They offer coffee, a mini fridge , microwave and some plates which was awesome.It almost felt like we were in hotel suite vs a villa as there wasn’t a real kitchen but it worked great for our short visit. Like others who have stayed mentioned, the parking situation is not great. Yes, the parking pass helps but most of the street parking being taken up for additional outdoor seating, your closest spot is still a 5-10min walk. I wasn’t very comfortable being that far away from our car not just because of break ins but in case of an emergency and having to leave quickly. I even called the hotel next door to see if they offered a parking pass to be purchased there and they sadly said no. All that said, we had a wonderful time and I do recommend this anyone coming to capitola!

This location is GREAT. Surprisingly quiet considering you’re right on the pathway to the beach. Make sure they send the parking permit approved locations PDF or search it online beforehand. Makes parking so much easier having that information! We finally got ahold of the property manager and she was able to tell us how to find the parking map online. This place is great for a couples retreat but it’s probably too small to comfortably fit a family or multiple couples. The TV was easy to operate and the place was pretty clean. We did notice lots of sand in place but that’s to be expected in a beach front rental. The only real negative I have to say about this place is that there is no kitchen sink. They do state in the binder inside the property that you are to clean your dishes before leaving. We felt weird snooping looking for dish soap and then having to wash it in the bathroom. Just keep that in mind if you plan on using any of their dish ware. They also ask you take out the trash but the trash can was pretty full (I assume from beach goers as it’s right outside the front door on the path to the beach). Go to Margaritaville for the best tacos! Its a super quick walk from the property and the patio is heated for those cool California coast nights!

Great location, small basement space, but adequate. Clean. Would be nice to have a few more little fun things like a welcome basket. Plenty of beach supplies. Fall asleep listening to the sound of the waves.
