      There were 21 of us plus 9 locals who stayed in this perfect warm comfortable home. We walked to the beach with the group and sat at the bonfire. We found out 5 things we learned about each other and at least 3 things we all have in common. We ate, laughed, sang, drank some tea, and played in the hot tub as well as bicycled and had fun! Were a group of young Russian, Canadian and American ladies who have come to learn abut each other and our selves. We had a wonderful time at a beautiful home. Can’t wait to come back next year! Thank you from all of us

    • This place was even better the second time! Lots of improvements like new hardwood floors, larger patio area with many picnic tables, foosball table, HiDef TV in the upstairs Great Room and another new king size bed! We all loved getting together again with Dad and Mom and all the cousins and Aunts & Uncles! The beach has been improved too with a new bathroom! We've already reserved for next year as this place is really special. Thanks The Cantrells, Harrisons & Newletts

      We came from all over for a memorial service celebrating the life of our dear grandfather. He passed away in September and we all came together to celebrate and remember him. We came to this same house in 2005 to celebrate grandpa and grandma's 60th wedding anniversary. This home holds special memories for us and was the perfect place to honor our adored and much loved grandfather. We had 4 generations here and grandma was surrounded by all her children, grand kids and great grand kids. We had a wonderful time and thank you for allowing us together during this special time.

      Our mom (aka Nonnie, Granny, Mary) loves any reason to gather her far-flung family, and no one could say “no” to her 75th birthday celebration. So her 4 children, their 4 spouses and her 7 grandchildren came to Aptos for a week of fun. We had a great time at the beach, running and walking on the cliff drive, seeing the redwoods, the Mystery spot and the Monterey Aquarium. The Boardwalk in Santa Cruz was a blast and the garlic fires and clam chowder are a must. We also ate plenty of Marianne’s home made ice cream (72 flavors) and sampled legendary baked goods at Gayle’s Bakery in Capitola. Don’t miss the terrific produce at any farm stand or flea market you come upon. We ate 30 lbs of peaches plus loads of strawberries. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! Thanks for all the good food, scrabble games and TLC “WE LOVE YOU”!

    • 12 adults and 10 kids. We had great fun with the extended family (a group of 6 families) Had long walks on the beach and kids had a blast building complicated sand structures on the beach and roaring fies at night. We enjoyed staying in this house wall its amentias as well and its close proximity to the beach. We had a fantastic time celebrating the 25th anniversary of members of our adopted family and made wonderful memories. We are about to leave but we already cannot wait for another chance to stay her.

      This house was perfect for our group of 9 people. It's a cozy place and everything we needed was here. We went to the boardwalk and became professional boogie boarders. We all wish we would've stayed longer, so next time we will for sure. Thank you so much for sharing your home. Thanks, again.
