This cabin has played a very important role in the history of the Golino family. Built originally by Bruce and Ethel Martin in 1930, it has be used over the decades by members of the family for holidays and vacations. Eager to beat the sweltering Stockton summers, the Martins traveled to their simple cottage by the sea. With their young daughters in tow, the Cabin soon captured the attention of one, Anna Jean. Much like a laugh, the joy of Capitola spread to Anna’s husband, Carlo Golino. In the early 1940s, the young Golino family became enamored with the enchanting atmosphere of Capitola. They would frequently take their nine children to spend the summer here. From the memories written on the fading brown paper of an old register, it appears as though the cabin remains in a bubble of its own. The hard work of sand castle building and light squabbling between siblings in 1955 mirror the not so distant memories of summers spent here today. In 1989, Carlo and Anna Jean worked with their children and grandchildren to expand the cabin so it could continue to be loved by the ever growing family. Today, the cabin remains a curious attraction for many wandering tourists. Every once and awhile, some come strolling down the dirt driveway to marvel at the mysterious log cabin. From setting off fireworks at the creek's edge every July to, more recently, cramming an incredible 30 hungry relatives into the small living room for a crowd and warm thanksgiving dinner, this place has been at the center of hundreds of family gatherings. It is loved by all and upheld by many.
