You’ll find plenty of soft sheets, cozy blankets, and all the comforts of home, plus conveniences like a hair dryer, ironing board, and steam iron.Stay comfortable year-round with heating and breeze of the cool fresh mornings. Enjoy the ease of a washer and dryer. The fully stocked kitchen is ready for anything—from casual mornings to memorable evenings: Cappuccino maker for your perfect start

And for our Tesla guests—there’s a charger conveniently available outside.Deposit required.

What truly sets this home apart is the setting. With an incredible panoramic view from the living room, and ocean or hillside views from every bedroom, you’ll experience something special in every moment. Whether it’s a glowing sunset, rolling fog, or lush hillside scenery, the atmosphere feels like a European coastal village—right here in Aptos, California.

The home sits elevated for that stunning “eagle-eye view,” yet remains just steps from the beach with no obstruction to your sightline.

Relax on the expansive deck with outdoor sofa, chairs, and umbrella, or unwind inside with:

Multiple large flat-screen TVs
Two fireplaces (wood-burning & electric)
Stylish interiors with Jonathan Adler-inspired touches
Built-in charging stations and ambient lighting

Enjoy time together with board games, cards, and bingo, or take a short walk to local markets, the farmers market, Ice cream and coffee shops, and restaurants along one of the best beach walking stretches in the area.
Parking is available in front of the house for up to 3 cars, we prefer that you do not park in the garage since it is a small one car garage.

Most importantly—we’re here for you. If you need anything during your stay, we want to make sure you have just as much fun and comfort as our own family does when we’re here.

My family and I absolutely loved staying at The Point! The home is stunning with absolutely amazing views throughout and the beach is right there!! I loved waking up to the sound of the ocean and absorbing the views while making a delicious coffee with the fancy coffee maker. The deck was perfect for relaxing by the fire table and taking in the ocean. The split-level design of the house was well layed out and we all felt like we had our own lovely and private space for the weekend. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed for the weekend to celebrate my daughter's graduation from UC Santa Cruz. The beds and the living area were very comfortable and we all slept soundly! The host was responsive and I was assured knowing that she would be there in case we needed her, but everything was just perfect! Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer, so we will just have to come back again. We were hesitant to book at first because of the limited reviews, but felt so fortunate to come across this place as they are just newly listed-what a gem!!
