The house was great for our time in Aptos. It’s a great place to stay, especially with kids. The beach is very easy to access. We also appreciated that there was plenty of hot water for everyone when taking a shower. The removable shower head was great for washing the kiddos after the beach. The kitchen was well-stocked and easy to cook in. Very cozy and clean. The road is busy, but it wasn’t an issue for us. We would like to stay here again.

Beautiful house walking to the beach. Actually you can watch the ocean from the dinner room window. The host is so nice to help us with any questions we have. And the house has all appliance and supplies for us to stay and cook in the house. It is a wonderful choice!

Our stay was wonderful. The house is very cheerful and is quite comfortable. It's also conveniently located just across the street from the beach. It's very nice to have a driveway to park in which makes all the difference in the world for convenience. We are looking forward to staying here again. Thanks!!

The kitchen is VERY well stocked which was so nice to cook and prep healthy meals. Extremely clean and cute touches throughout--it's got character, not a cookie cutter condo. We loved the little eateries within walking distance and of course the BEACH just steps away! Outstanding value !

Wonderful place to stay for a week. We could sit at the dining room table and watch the day unfold. The house was so clean and had every amenity you could possibly need. The pull in parking was a plus. Being so close ( just steps away from beach) was great. Excellent location to explore the beaches from Santa Cruz to Monterey. Our host was quick to answer any of our needs. We took a lot of beautiful sunset photos almost every night. We were so happy with our stay at this adorable beach house.
