Classic Beach House - Walk to Seacliff Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our time in Aptos! Perfect for our family of 4 (the kids loved the outdoor area with the bocce ball court and hammock) and within walking distance to the beach.Location was perfect for our day trips to Santa Cruz and Monterey!Great communication…we’d definitely stay here again!"

Coastal Bungalow - Steps From Rio Del Mar Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"The perfect spot to get away for a week, relax, and make memories that will last a lifetime. This place is especially meaningful to our family, so I have to share a little story. Twenty-four years ago, my girlfriend introduced my son and me to the beautiful beaches of Santa Cruz, Aptos, and Capitola. My son was only 4 years old at the time, and from that first trip, it became a yearly family tradition filled with memories that I will always cherish. This year made our stay even more special. My son is now 28 years old, and he got to continue that tradition by introducing his own 6-month-old son—my amazing grandson—to Aptos, Rio Del Mar, Santa Cruz, and the refreshing Pacific Ocean for the very first time. Watching three generations of our family enjoy a place that has meant so much to us for more than two decades was something I’ll never forget. What started as a family getaway 24 years ago has now become a tradition being passed on to the next generation. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while making another chapter of lifelong memories. "

Beach House Overlooking Seacliff State Park and Rio Del Mar Beach, Aptos

10/10 Excellent

"The property is right across the street from the bluffs overlooking Seacliff Beach State Park. We made full use of all the property had to offer. Watched the sunset from the front stairs and marvlous breakfasts on the upper deck overlooking the ocean. The only little inconvenince was no tub or shower on the lst floor which was difficult for folks with mobility challenges."

Charming, Sunny Home!

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in this home for 7 nights. The living area upstairs was comfortable, plenty of room for the family and guests. With the curtains drawn back the living, dining, and kitchen area was full of light. The open windows let in a breeze. The balcony offered a view and sounds of the ocean. There is a toilet/sink upstairs. The downstairs had all the bedrooms. The sitting are had a pull out couch with a TV. There was no TV upstairs which we really missed. The stairs between the floors were steep and plentiful but didn’t deter one of the visitors who is 95 yrs old. Residence was close to restaurants and the beach."
