A Cottage in the Heart of Capitola. 620 Sunset is a beach-town cottage where the location does the work. On a quiet street in Riverview Terrace, you're an easy walk from Gayle's Bakery, Capitola Village, and Capitola Beach the kind of place where mornings start with coffee and a pastry, afternoons drift toward the sand, and evenings wind down in the garden. This is Capitola life at its most effortless. Weekend markets, sunset strolls along the water, and dinners just a few blocks from your door. The cottage itself is light, warm, and simple to maintain; a home that encourages for more time outside, so more of your day belongs to the beach than the to-do list. Out front, a usable yard offers room to garden, gather, or slow down under mature trees, and a versatile bonus structure works as a studio, workshop, or extra storage. Whether it's a weekend retreat, a lock-and-leave, or a first foothold in Capitola, 620 Sunset offers real beach-town living; walkable, low-maintenance, and minutes from the water.
