Fun House to Stay at

Fun house to stay at. Very comfortable for our party of 5. We had fun with the fireplace and outside fire pit and walking to the beach and creek. Lots of board games/puzzles. No kids toys but my son had lots of fun with their flash light and collecting shells on the beach and looking at the ducks in the creek.

Amazing home away from home.

What a fantastic holiday home , well stocked with everything you need . With a really helpful host. Super comfy beds, peaceful gardens and neighbourhood. Everything you need within in a 5mile radius such as cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, takeaways , garage , doctors and so much more !. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful getaway to an ideal base to explore Californias east coast like we did . The only negative is you didn’t find out about the lodger who stays in the contained flat enjoined to the property until after the deposit was payed , however he didn’t bother us and made little noise .

Perfect Beach House

We enjoyed our stay at Peace and Plenty very much. Being raised in this area, we knew ahead of time that the location would be great. The property is extremely clean and I would have taken the bed home if at all possible. So comfortable!! The house is well stocked, and the sea breeze that flows through the house is wonderful.

Beautiful Home, Great Location!

We had such a wonderful stay! Perfect for a family vacation, a real home away from home. Loved the patio with the beautiful succulent garden and fire pit. Perfect for morning and evening. The home itself is super clean and well appointed from the kitchen to the bedrooms. Location was perfect for beach time and close to great restaurants and other activities like the Nisene Marks and The Boardwalk. Loved it and hope to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Diane Parker

We moved to the San Joaquin Valley 29 years ago from West Los Angeles and started visiting Aptos several times a year. We were finally able to purchase our home in 2015 after many years of saving! We took 2018 to remodel and create our dream home and started sharing with others. We feel like it is home now and in 2019 were happy to share our little slice of heaven with you. We call her "Peace & Plenty"!
