We throughly enjoyed our stay. The house was so lovely and so close to the beach. We will definitely stay again. Thank you David for being so readily available.
What a great location, just a 5 minute walk to the beach. The house has a relaxing balcony to hang out, nap, or have meals. Lots of space, well stocked, and quiet. The owner, David, is responsive and very accommodating. We recommend!
Wonderful! House is spacious, clean, well-appointed, quiet, and a quick walk to the beach. We stayed with our family, and there is even a children’s play corner in the living room with nice toys. The three and six year olds loved them. Perfect beach house.
We had a peaceful and enjoyable stay at this Aptos house. The rooms and entire home were very clean.The neighborhood was quiet and a three minute walk to the beach. It’s a short drive to Sta. Cruz. We would definitely consider booking this place again in the future.
Great location, within walking distance to the beach. The house is beautifully furnished, very clean and well stocked. Lovely, inside and out. We would like to vacation there again next Summer.
We had a wonderful stay. Property was clean and spacious. 5 minute walk to the beach. Plenty of ice made by the freezer. Nice grill for cooking. We had a great stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay -- amenities were on point and the property owners thought of everything we could potentially need! The home's proximity to the beach, restaurants, and other attractions was stellar!
I highly recommend this rental!!
We loved staying at the property. The house was very well equiped and very comfortable to stay at. David reached out to us several times to make sure everything was just right. On top of the great place to stay, it was about a 5 minute walk to the beach!
A great property for a family looking to escape to the beach. Easy walking distance to the state beach. Comfortable, clean, lots of games and toys for the kids. Outside shower is great to rinse off after a fun day!
The house was lovely! Kitchen was fully stocked for cooking meals. Wonderful appliances. The beds were so comfortable, couch is very very comfortable. 3 outdoor porches, including outdoor dining, and sun bathing . We had a wonderful time with our grandchildren. D Shunk
Everything was straight forward, easy access, WiFi was great, location to town and beach were convenient, the rental was clean, beautiful, comfortable and fully stocked with all necessities. The surrounding area had a nice coffee shop, a great little grill, a small market as well as scenic cliff trails to hike. David was easy to contact and stay in touch with when needed. We could have stayed there for months. Highly recommended!!
Amazing home, very clean, comfy beds and has everything you would need for your stay. Two short blocks to the beach and restaurants. Great outdoor space with plenty of seating and a grill. Feels like a cozy home and the décor is adorable. Highly recommend choosing this home for your stay in Aptos!
