Amazing weekend getaway

The property was fantastic, with everything you needed and more! John is an excellent host and had a great dinner recommendation. It’s nice and secluded but only a short drive from shops and restaurants. Will definitely bring staying again in the future! Thanks John!

While working in the Central Coast of California this past July, I was fortunate enough to spend over two weeks at this amazing property in Aptos Hills. The gated property had everything I needed and more. I took full advantage of the well stocked kitchen as well as the outdoor grill. I also enjoyed the use of the crystal clear pool that was a great way to end a hard day of work. It was hard to leave this beautiful spot with all of it's amazing views. I highly recommend this property and hope to come back in the near future.

This property was ideal for me as I was attending a wedding, which I was father of the bride and participating. It was close enough to the festivities such that I could get there and back on time. It was quiet, bucolic, clean, beautiful and comfortable. The Wi-Fi was great. The host was very accommodating and communicative and met me there. The parking was close by, but it is in a semi rural area so there is no paved parking which was fine as it was dry and not raining. The steps are a little bit hazardous if you’re elderly or have any kind of balance issues, but it was fine for me. The pool was gorgeous and clean and it’s really an ideal quiet setting. Very, very peaceful.
