I am all about the details...So this wonderful haven was a perfect fit! After my honey read the reviews, he made a reservation..what an incredible surprise!

Four nights in the Jade Suite! Lovely holiday. Love the place and how independent we were. It was like renting our own cottage. Every morning breakfast was laid out and the coffee was made! we never saw who made it but it was great! The walk to Capitola Beach is great we found a great footpath along part of the train line as well as on the other side of the river. We loved Dharma's Shadowbrook and New Leaf Community Market!
We really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere you have created. Thank you for the vegan cupcake!
The Jewel Box is lovely. We enjoyed our stay very much. we loved the extra special touches like the lavender soaps and the beautiful patio.

What a wonderful cottage - I had a lovely stay. Everything was perfect!
I really enjoyed my stay here at the Jewel Box. After a busy week of helping my son prepare for his freshman year at UCSC, and dropping him off, it was really a great treat to be at a B&B that really felt like home. You've done an amazing job thank you for all the thought and work.
Thank you so much for helping make our anniversary special. We loved staying here and will always look here first whenever we come to Santa Cruz.
We really enjoyed our stay here at the Jewel Box in the Jade Suite. We have been charmed and delighted at how such a sophisticated B&B can be so accommodating for our family. The photos on your website don't do the atmosphere and decor justice. The close proximity to Capitola Beach and the Santa Cruz Boardwalk made this an ideal place to stay and leave the car behind. We hope to come again and wish you great prosperity on your little Jewel of a B&B!
Thank you for the lovely stay. We especially have appreciated all the little details - With the beach & Dharma's restaurant so close we could move in and be quite comfortable.
The Jewel Box has exceeded all of our expectations. Everything from the decor to the refreshments speak to your personal touch - and they make for an entirely comfortable stay. Your website doesn't do it justice, but I'm not sure anything short of a stay could. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay. We hope to return soon.
Thank you for creating such a wonderful environment. This was truly a treat and we appreciate all the niceties.
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 definitely 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 decor 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!

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.

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!
