This is the only place to stay in Santa Cruz or Capitola area. It was created from the original railroad station in Capitola. Each room is exquisite and unique. Sauger the general manager & his team are amazing. Fresh cook breakfast every morning either delivered to your room or seated in the lovely family room with Fireplace. Well appointed.

What a gem, this quant B&B was perfect for a weekend getaway. I can’t wait to check out some of the other rooms, each one looks so interesting. Every staff member I passed by was extremely pleasant. The property was quiet and clean and just a short walk to Capitola Village and the beach.

Location: Good combination of quiet, residential location and a short walking distance to the beach and shops. Inn facilities, breakfast service and staff better than expected. The room we had was large and comfortable; fireplace was a plus but wished the outdoor tub worked as advertised. Tub needed cleaning and jets were non-functional. Overall, minus the tub, a pleasant one night stay.
