It offers a panoramic oceanview with 15 miles of sandy beach. You can enjoy your coffee watching the dolphins & surfers and then watch the sunset from your deck. You have direct access to the beach and campfires are permitted until 10pm.

The gourmet kitchen of granite & stainless, is well stocked with cooking utensils and staples (spices, oils, etc) anything you may have forgotten.

Location, location, location!

This ocean front property is a dream. I nearly cried when I walked inside because the view was beyond words. It was super convenient for my kids& I having the beach so close. My son has sensory issues and sometimes we need to leave places if he gets overstimulated. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else after staying in this little piece of paradise!

Another great stay!

This is our second stay at Beth Ann's place. As always, it's clean and well stocked. The location cannot be beat - even with a rainy weekend it cleared up enough for us to sit on the deck, soak in the sun and enjoy the view. We all love it, love that it can easily accommodate 5 women, love the proximity to shopping and restaurants. We'll be back!

Amazing getaway! Such a great property! The long walks on the beach, watching the waves from our deck. Having Aptos and Capitola so close was an added plus. We will definitely ask the owners for a return visit.

Lovely home with gorgeous view

Quick get away to celebrate my brothers birthday with family and friends and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect house and location. Spent the evenings enjoying the common areas playing games. Everyone had their own area, definitely plenty of space for 8 people. Beth was so quick with responding to any questions and information was provided throughout the home. We absolutely loved our time here and would 100% book again. Thank you Beth for sharing your beautiful home.
