It is a nice quiet property with a big territory around the inn. The ocean view is absolutely gorgeous, however the inn is on a cliff not on a beach. You need to walk about 10 minutes to the beach and the Capitola center. Our suite was spacious with 2 queen beds. The sofa and the room overall were pretty worn. I would recommend the Ocean suite - our friends stayed in it. It looked much better and had a panoramic ocean view. Overall, we had a great time! Thank you!
