About this property

Jaw-Dropping Beach-Front Retreat!


*I recommend purchasing travelers insurance due to Covid 19 and potential shutdowns*

THIS…
Is not your typical beach house and location.
A stunning, modern and fun aesthetic inside.
Jaw-dropping panoramic ocean views outside.

What’s not to love…It’s modern. It’s contemporary. It’s unexpected. Completely remodeled in 2019 and now waiting to welcome you and your family to enjoy a stunning location directly ON THE BEACH baby!

THE HOUSE…
…Is a three-story home comprised of 4 bedrooms and 2-1/2 bathrooms. Two balconies provide 180° Monterey Bay ocean views overlooking Rio del Mar beach and the renowned SS Palo Alto “cement ship.” Swing in the hanging rope hammock chairs with your sunglasses on while basking in the warmth of the afternoon sun...the kids playing on the beach in front of you. Relax on the balconies with a glass of wine while watching the brilliant red, orange and yellow sunsets.

THE LOCATION…
…On “the island” of Rio del Mar in Aptos is a prime spot for beach fun, water activities, and nearby dining. You can stay there and never leave…or…go explore nearby Capitola, Santa Cruz and Monterey. There are an unlimited number of activities and sites including wine tasting, golfing, surfing, hiking, and beautiful drives.

THE EXPERIENCE…
…Is one you’ll never forget! You think it ever gets boring watching dolphins and whales off your back balcony? It does not. Perhaps the sound of the crashing waves doesn’t relax you? It always does. Or, maybe the feel of the sand under your feet doesn’t sweep you away? It will.

WORK, STUDY AND PLAY FROM HERE…
…If you must work instead of play for a part of your stay, then you can easily work-from-home and attend online school here. Great wifi access is provided. A desk in one master bedroom serves as a private office if needed. A child’s desk in another bedroom will be great for little ones in online school. Additionally, the dining room table and even outdoor patio dining table can serve as additional work and study spots.

RESERVE NOW…
…You will be delighted.

House Rules: This is not a party house. Quiet hours start at 10pm. It's very important to stay off the rock seawall and neighbors patio. To access the beach, use streetside sidewalk and use the public stairs to the beach.

Great location to relax on the beach
Overall a great place to spend a few days relaxing by the beach. Place was clean but a little bit dated/worn. Location was great with restaurants nearby.

Picture Perfect
We stayed for four nights at the end of May and had a spectacular time! Loved being able to walk right out the door and onto the beach every night during sunsets and enjoy our coffee on the patio every morning and listen to the waves! Getting of chose a better place, if we tried! The entire experience from Checkin to check out was perfect
