Here are a few words from our guests:

Although we can stay for only one night on our trip, the accommodations were great! I like the cozy feel of the B&B. I also enjoyed hearing the fountains while sitting out on the porch looking at the stars. We would definately come and stay for another visit. I appreciate your effort for using eco-friendly products!

We really enjoyed staying here. The room was very comfortable. The decore made for a very relaxing & pleasant stay.Breakfast was great and all was delicious!

What an amazing little treasure! Your home is beautiful, very well cared for and a complete escape from everyday life. I'll be posting to the Pleasanton Mother's club about what a wonderful time we had. Thank You!

In all the years of coming to Capitola & Santa Cruz we never found a place to return to until now. We hope to return here many times in the future. It is peaceful, comfortable and well located. Thank You!

What a wonderful job you have done! Thank you for such a comfortable place to stay while visiting Capitola & Santa Cruz. We loved the deck in the morning while eating breakfast (such an abundance of fresh food!) and in the evening with a little wine. We will return.

What a delight! This has been one of the best short vacations yet - totally relaxing and refreshing. You have thought of everything possible to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Thank you for a lovely time - we will be back!

Thank you for providing such a clean and comfortable place to stay - great location too! We will return again and definitely recommend it to others. You have done a great job making us feel at home.

A great place to stay. I enjoyed the solitude and relaxation I experienced here. I definitely will return when i visit Capitola.

It has been very relaxing. Unfortunately, it has been too short. We are from Italy & we love California!

We really enjoyed our stay here at the Jewel Box. We felt right at home really enjoyed our room. The jewel Box is so well decorated and has great ambiance. We loved being able to walk to the Shadowbrook and into town. We can't wait to come back next year.

What a find! Just like home away from home - and easy, picturesque walk to Capitola village too!

Thank you for a wonderful stay! we will always remember our last night in california before moving across country.

A nice way to start our trip very quiet & peaceful. Fabulous G-free breakfast will definitely return.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay in the Jewel Box. You have an amazing spot here - surely one of the best B&B we have ever stayed in.

We cannot thank you enough for the Jewel Box. It was the perfect end to our trip up the state and a great way to feel pampered after a few days in the woods. I especially love the bathroom in the Opal Suite it is beautiful!

Most definitely on of the nicest bed & breakfasts I've Stayed in, from the US to around Europe. Thank you fro creating such a soothing place with wonderful amenities and breakfast that was just right. Best Wishes!

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your absolutely beautiful house! The bed was so soft, the breakfast was great and just staying here was amazing and truly magical!

Jewel Box is a sweet home away from home. Thank you Tina for creating such a beautiful place. I truly feel that its your labor of love that comes through all of the details here - lovely fountains, all of the furnishings & the wonderful bath tub, the landscaping and outer deck.

This place is amazing! I'm so thankful that you let us reschedule due to the surgery. The Jewel Box is Capitola's best kept secret! If others knew, we would probably not be able to stay because of its popularity. Thank you sooo much!

Thank You for providing such a lovely place to relax and recharge. My Daughter and I had an unforgettable time together. The Jewel Box is a wonderful place!

"Thanks for a lovely stay! You have done an incredible job - and your attention to detail is noticed and appreciated! The breakfast is incredible - I wish I had you to take care of me like that every morning! Beautiful place - Best of luck."

"Thank You! We had an amazing stay in this magical house! We wish we could never go home. Our bed was so comfortable and the bath tub couldn't have been better! We can't wait until the next time we can escape reality and come back here."
