Located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Rio Del Mar, only a five minute walk to Rio Beach and the famous cement ship - this newly remodeled studio is well appointed with quality and tastefully appealing features everywhere you look. LDM has been created as a peaceful and soulful space, with inviting gardens and a relaxed ambience, near enough to - but separated from - the surrounding, summer-crowded beach community.

LDM is conveniently situated for visiting Santa Cruz, Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur. A short drive to major cultural, theatre and music performance venues; there is also a varied selection of restaurants, entertainment and convenient shopping within easy walking or biking distance. Nearby and popular Rio Beach boasts miles of white sand and a variety of beach restaurants - from the elegant Rio Cafe to the casual gourmet dining of the Pixi Deli. World class Seascape Golf Resort is ½ mile away.

There is room for three cars to park off the street in front of the LDM entrance. Inside LDM, you will find a comforting and comfortable environment. As you walk through the front entrance, lots of glorious light fills the studio, streaming through the many windows, the French doors opening to the back patio, and a large, overhead skylight.

A comfortable queen sofa bed sits under large windows overlooking the spacious backyard gardens and patio area. An artfully designed wooden ladder leads to a cheerful sleeping loft, with a queen size, ultra comfort bed.

Beautiful granite counter tops surround all new appliances in the compact, well-designed kitchen with state-of-the-art dishwasher, a heavy duty garbage disposal and a large microwave oven. All dishes, utensils, bed and dish linens are included.

In the large private backyard, you will find bamboo, flowers and herbs, a lawn, a birdbath, a sturdy hammock nesting under the overhanging branches of the many Japanese privets on the property, and two brick and cement patios with comfortable furniture for dining or entertaining family and guests.

If you’re looking for incomparable comfort, some TLC, and a welcome escape – LeRose Del Mar is for you!

  • A GREAT place to stay. We all had a great time at LeRose Del Mar. Close to the beach, quiet in the afternoon and evening for snoozing and reading and a very comfortable night sleep. We will be back again!

  • My husband and I had a wonderful time in Le Ros del Mare in Aptos. The place is outstanding, the furniture and the details extremely esquisite, the lovely garden, the location and the warmth of Lynn and Ed absolutely great. We cycled to the beach every day, lovely walks and shopping in the area, drove to Santa Cruz in the morning and had a magic rest before our return to Europe and going back to work. I highly recommend this place to anyone is looking for a peaceful, sunny, relaxing earthy place in the world! Enjoy! Lisa & Keith

  • My three children and I visited Lerose Del Mar Thanksgiving weekend in 2007 and had a delightful stay. Lynn was wonderful and the place from the inside to the outside was not just emaculate, but incredibily inviting and user friendly. I had an easy time preparing a fabulous Thanksgiving Dinner while the children played outside romping among the various climbing structures. It was an easy walk to a really well built park and only another block down to the ocean. We enjoyed each and every day and really look forward to doing it all again very soon. Kelly and the Kids!

  • I very highly recommend this guest house. It is a great place to stay. The location is excellent. The house is extremely comfortable, bright, and well designed. There is a secluded back yard area with a barbeque grill. It's in a quiet neighborhood, near stores and restaurants, a short walk to the beach. My girlfriend and I enjoyed cooking in the full kitchen and watching movies on the LCD TV with surround sound. Everything is clean and new and up-to-date. The owners are really nice and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Another great thing is that it's near the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the owners provide two guest passes. I definitely recommend Le Rose Del Mar and would stay there again if we return to that area.

  • Thank you so much for making our stay so comfortable. Everything was wonderful, we had a great time. We now want to redecorate our bathroom just like yours! Most of all we are very impressed with you and all the other people we met in Aptos/Santa Cruz. Everyone is so friendly and it has made such an impression that we are now planning our retirement in either Aptos or further North. We will recommend LaRose Del Mar to all our friends and family. My son loved the back yard, it had that magical and enchanting feeling to it. Thank you for the passes to the Monterey Bay Aquarium! We will be back for certain. Karah Shawn & Tanner

  • Our stay was idyllic. My daughter loved the yard. My son loved the paper airplanes he created. We played games stored in the closet as a family. We walked to the beach. And slept with open windows to the fresh ocean breezes. Lynn's extra touch with maps and brochures customized to our requests as well as having organic spices and coffee available was more than we anticipated. She left us alone and seemed to be always available if we needed her. She met all of our wishes for a great place to stay and Aptos and the Redwoods met are wishes for the beauty of the Northern California.

  • We loved our stay at Lerose Del Mar. Lynn is an exceptional hostess. She offers advice as needed and has as her priority the comfort of her guests. The studio apartment was lovely. We felt pampered and relaxed. Aptos was a wonderful place from which to explore the Santa Cruz and Monterey area.
