What a great location, just a 5 minute walk to the beach. The house has a relaxing balcony to hang out, nap, or have meals. Lots of space, well stocked, and quiet. The owner, David, is responsive and very accommodating. We recommend!

Wonderful! House is spacious, clean, well-appointed, quiet, and a quick walk to the beach. We stayed with our family, and there is even a children’s play corner in the living room with nice toys. The three and six year olds loved them. Perfect beach house.

Peaceful Stay at Aptos

We had a peaceful and enjoyable stay at this Aptos house. The rooms and entire home were very clean.The neighborhood was quiet and a three minute walk to the beach. It’s a short drive to Sta. Cruz. We would definitely consider booking this place again in the future.

July summer visit in Rio del Mar

Everything was straight forward, easy access, WiFi was great, location to town and beach were convenient, the rental was clean, beautiful, comfortable and fully stocked with all necessities. The surrounding area had a nice coffee shop, a great little grill, a small market as well as scenic cliff trails to hike. David was easy to contact and stay in touch with when needed. We could have stayed there for months. Highly recommended!!
