Charming Home with Character

The home was perfect in every regard. The kitchen was well furnished with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The interior was decorated with sailing ships in every room. Our 4 y/o grandson was amazed! We greatly enjoyed playing chess on the board with over-sized pieces.

Beautiful spot!

We all loved our stay! The house was perfect for the 6 of us (4 adults, 3 yr old & a 16 month old). It’s an easy walk down the trail to the beach, the front deck was a welcome sunny spot for afternoon chats and the back yard and hot tub were a welcomed and lovely bonus at the end of the day. The hosts were easily reached, check in and out were simple. The perfect beach getaway! We highly recommend it!

Relaxing and convenient beach stay

My family (two teens, my husband, dog and I) had a great stay at the Beach Bungalow in Aptos. Property is super cute and clean. Close to restaurants, cafes and shops. Quick walk to the Beach. Water in the bathroom shower took a LONG time to get hot, but the hot tub was amazing and had a nice outdoor shower.

Bumbled Beach Bungalow

Great location! A few minutes walk and you're at the beach! You can see and hear the ocean from the house, very nice. However, it smelled musty upon arrival. All doors and windows had to be opened, air freshener sprayed. It does not sleep 6! The sofabed was very uncomfortable to sit on and inadequate for sleeping. You sank into the sofa and could feel the bed springs from underneath. We were 3 adult women, two of which had to bunk together. The hottub was extremely overpowering with chemicals! The jets could not be turned on because they created a toxic cloud that made us choke! The water overflowed out of the tub when getting in, as if whomever serviced it spilled an entire bottle of chemicals and tried to dilute it by filling it up with water. Afterwards, two showers were not effective to remove the chemicals from our bodies. Not usable for the rest of our stay! The master shower's water flow was really low and took forever to warm up. That made it more difficult to get the hottub chemicals cleaned off. Communications with the host were good until informed of the hottub situation, then no response at all!

Awesome stay in Aptos

Great communication with owner prior to our stay. Cottage looks even better in person. Very clean and spacious, hear the waves breaking from the front deck. Short quick walk to beach and town. Three tv’s, plenty of towels, TP, cleaning products and spices if you choose to cook, although owner had great restaurant recommendations. Would definitely stay again. 😀

Fun at the Beach

We had a great time enjoying out getaway from the heat The accommodations were perfect for us and our senior dog Our dog was able to walk up the 5 steps on the porch and we took her out through the back patio 2 steps. Sea glass hunting was its finest with the appearance of rock piles on Seacliff Beach. The neighborhood is quiet and we felt very safe. We hope to stay again in the future

Lovely Place

The place was nice and cozy and had a lovely beach casual feel to it. The front deck with ocean view was a perfect spot to hangout with a small group and barbecue. Me, my husband, our 4 month old daughter and my parents stayed and we all loved it. We’d love to come back sometime. We brought a Pack n Play for our 4 month old to sleep in, which fit in front of the dresser by the French doors. It worked nicely for us as we did not need to use the dresser. The back yard is also very nice and inviting. Sid was easy to communicate with and provided all the info we needed for a wonderful stay.

Perfect!

We loved this place! While the ocean view is partially obscured by the houses across the street you can hear the waves crashing and see from Moss Landing to Capitola. We were in town for my sister's wedding and had our two dogs and another couple traveling with us. The weather was the perfect Indian Summer expected in this area in the Fall! We had a lovely walk down the trail/steps to the beach with our dogs...if you are up to it this is a definite MUST! We had 8 for dinner one night and found the kitchen nicely stocked with everything we needed for the meal's preparation (with the exception of maybe olive oil) and the BBQ on the patio was perfect! I am also a fan of stoves with gas cook tops and open kitchen/livingroom floor plans and this place just felt like home the minute we walked in the front door! The front deck was MUCH nicer that the photos depict and was just perfect for our morning coffee (so nice to have coffee and Keurig maker provided). With the lovely weather we also found ourselves enjoying our evening cocktails and dinners out on the front deck! The beds and pillows were VERY comfortable (which I have found not always to be the case with VRBO rentals). The photos don't do the living room justice either as we found the seating to be ample and quite comfortable! The back yard was perfect for our dogs, and while surrounded closely by neighbors on all sides, feels secluded with the beautiful landscaping. The bamboo just needs to grow a bit taller to block the one deck that looks down into the back yard (we were fortunate that no one was ever on that deck so we didn't feel any intrusion when we were in the back yard). We enjoyed the jacuzzi in the morning as well and having the outdoor shower right next to it was quite convenient. We would absolutely recommend this lovely home and will definitely stay here again!

I’ve stayed at many vacation rentals, and this is one of the best. It’s one of the best because of the details. It’s well kept, and well appointed. And as a cherry on top, you can walk to the beach in 5-7 minutes. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Sid Rampy

My Mom always wanted a beach home. She wanted to hear the waves breaking on the sand and feel the cool breeze on warm days. In 1989 she found her perfect Beach Bungalow but Dad said is was too much money. She wanted to share it with her new granddaughter from son #1 and I son #2 was going to get married. So I said I will buy half and our Beach Bungalow came to be. Many good times and memories. The 3 Grandkids are 21+ years and doing their thing. Dad passed in 2010 and Mom 88+ is in her own world. My Wife Angel, and I Sid, love to spend time at the beach and love sharing the Beach Home with others.

Why they chose this property
