Gorgeous beach house nestled at the end of a very quiet, dead end street in Rio Del Mar, Aptos. Our home is three houses from a large greenspace at Hidden Beach Park (great for children), which opens up to Hidden Beach. This is a very private location, there are no houses across the street from ours, only a eucalyptus grove and then the beach. There is a paved walking pathway through the eucalyptus grove to the beach, about a three to five minute walk from the house. You can sit on our deck and listen to the roar of the ocean.
Hidden Beach is a local’s beach located between Rio Del Mar beach and Seascape beach, walking distance along the beach to both. We enjoy having fires on the beach and roasting marshmellows. You can often see dolphins and sea otters at play from our beach. Our NON SMOKING home is COMPLETELY REMODELED and decorated in a palm tree/beach motif, with an excellent open, split level floor plan. Both bathrooms have doubble sinks and huge soaking tubs with dual shower heads. There is a gas fireplace in living room. The kitchen is well equipped and has doubble ovens and
5 burner gas cooktop. There is a flat screen TV in the living room with cable TV. All three bedrooms have TVs. There is plenty of off street parking. Our Beach House has all the comforts of home, with approximately 1800 square feet of living space, with great open floor plan for entertaining. There are steps leading up to the front door.

The back yard has comfortable patio dining furniture, a barbeque, as well as an outdoor fire pit. There are boogie boards and beach toys for your enjoyment. We even have a little red wagon for you to haul your things to the beach in.

There is a deck that wraps around two sides of the house with outdoor furniture, which is nice for lounging on, listing to the ocean and bird watching. The grove of trees across the street attracts lots of birds.

BE SURE TO READ THE GUEST COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY OTHERS WHO HAVE STAYED IN OUR HOME. You will see it is truly a wonderful home in a fabulous location.

Our home is conveniently located between world famous Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz, with many wonderful restaurants and activities near by. The Beach Boardwalk and Seascape resort golf course are nearby with an 18-hole golf course and driving range.

Also nearby is world famous Monterey Bay, hosting some of the best scuba diving in the US, as well as the infamous Monterey Bay aquarium and Cannery Row, a treat for all ages.

            We were lucky to have picked this home. We chose it because of the quiet location, and easy access to HIDDEN BEACH. The property was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything one could need, along with a good assortment of spices... rice cooker and mickey mouse waffle iron. The décor is lovely, the beds were super comfy. The heated floors and gas fireplace were great and the towels were fluffy. Hidden Beach is a hidden gem, I'm almost afraid to review it because I don't want too many people to know about it, We have stayed near Rio Del Mar beach before and this location was sooooo much better. There was almost no one on the beach and we made a bonfire one evening and enjoyed a fabulous sunset. Our kids enjoyed the park which was also like having a private park in our backyard. The owner was helpful and promptly answered all of our questions. We took our bikes and did some bike riding, enjoyed the backyard BBQ and firepit ( the owners had left stuff for us to make smores with ) We cant wait to return and could recommend this home without hesitation

            We picked this house three years ago, simply because it was so close to a park. We keep coming back because our twins keep asking to go to "our" beach cabin. I love this house! It has everything a family could want: a near by park and beach, comfy beds, huge bath tubs, a well equipped kitchen and smores! If you sit outside on the front porch, at night, you can hear the sound of the waves. Nothing is more relaxing, after a day of playing with four year olds, than sitting listening to the waves crash. It is also central to so many fun things: apple picking at Gizdich, fresh eggs at Galum, the santa cruz county fair, and of course, the beach boardwalk. I'm hoping we will be back next year...

            My family and I stayed here for the holiday weekend. This is a beautiful home in a great location. We found the home to be exactly like the pictures. The beach was so close we just walked down the path with the wagon and chairs provided by Juli. The home is stocked with everything you need and anything you forgot like a sweatshirt ; ) My grandsons loved this home and thorougly enjoyed our weekend at the beach. I hope to visit again in the future and would recommend this home to anyone looking for a great place to relax and enjoy the beach. Thank you Juli for allowing us to enjoy your home and for being so responsive to all my questions. I also wanted to let others know this is the first time I rented a home and I was very skeptical. I was worried that the home would not look like the photos or that I would not receive my deposit. I am so pleased to say that the house looked just like the photos and I received my deposit prior to the time I was told it would be returned.

            Hard to beat this place. When you consider price, location and seclusion this place is the best value I could find. Everthing is just as described. Short walk to the beach, plenty of privacy, well appointed inside. We were on a boys golf vacation and this was our second time at this property. We'll keep coming back when we're in the area because it fits our needs perfectly. Thanks Juli!!

            My family and I stayed here for a week to attend my nephew's wedding. We were delighted as soon as we walked in the door of this wonderful home. The open concept on the first floor made it both comfortable and spacious for all six adults in our group. The house was very clean with a well equipped kitchen. There wasn't anything that we needed that we didn't find there. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather during our visit and were able to enjoy the outdoor decks and patio. The beach was gorgeous and just a few minutes walk. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anyone looking for a comfortable beach house in a quiet but convenient location. Thank you so much for your hospitality Juli!

            My family loved staying at this friendly beach house. Everything is thought of - a cozy fireplace for stormy winter nights, the little wagon for easy trips to the park and beach. Even the plastic plates and cups make this an ideal getaway for families. We couldn't have been happier and are looking forward to returning in the summer.

            We stayed here in May 2010 and loved it. The property was immaculately clean and well maintained and the garden is beautiful. The owner was very helpful and organized, our deposit refund got to our home before we did. They have thought of everything, toys for the kids, boogie boards and all the household ammenities one could need ( the beds were super comfy too). The beach was AMAZING and only a 3 minute walk, we loved the red wagon to take our suff to the beach in. The beach is perfect for kids, not to big of a surf, long and flat and you can walk for miles. We would recommend this home to anyone and we hope to visit here again.

            My mom was turning 70 this May so us "kids and grandkids" wanted to treat her to a nice family getaway to the beach. This house was perfect! Quiet, great location and fabulous beach only 5 min. away. The beach was gorgeous! It was an added bonus to have a nearby park since we had a 4 yr. old and a 2 yr. old with us. The house was beautiful, comfortable, clean and perfect for 6 adults and 2 kids (on air mattresses). I highly recommend this house and hope to visit again!
