About this property

2nd row - Remodeled 2/1.5 - 4 min to the sand! Aquarium and CA Park Passes!

Our Beach house has gone through a complete remodel in '22. We were inspired by our stays in cozy Mediterranean vacation rentals.

Hear the waves in this Aptos vacation home across the street from the neighborhood beach entrance to the Seacliff and Pot Belly beaches. Walk down a very pictures Beachgate path or, if you have too many beach things, drive 0.2mi and use provided beach pass for the free access and parking.

2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths - sleeps 6. Just bring your bathing suit. Everything else is provided: linens, beach towels, chairs, umbrella and toys. Also included are (over $200 value):
- CA State Park Pass to visit over 20 local beaches and state parks.
- 2 member guest passes to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which can be used daily. Save time by skipping a long line and using the member entrance!

The house has fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, cable TV, WiFi, DVD player, and lots of books and games for kids and adults. Beautifully landscaped private back and side yards with Weber BBQ and outdoor hot water shower to rinse off after a day at the beach. Flexible sleeping arrangements with blackout curtains in the bedrooms: California king bed, queen bed, a pull out European queen sofa bed in the living-room and a twin AeroBed.

2 parking spaces in the driveway for your exclusive use. There is practically no street parking.

CasaMareAptos is a duplex. The upstairs apartment is never rented; it's our second home and we, a retired couple, use it part time. The house architecture provides total privacy; with guest having an exclusive use of the downstairs, fenced in back/side yards, outdoor shower, BBQ, and 2 car driveway. Only the front yard is shared with the owners.

Seacliff beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. It is wide, 19+ mile long, and in low tide you can walk 1.5 mi to Capitola. Spend quiet weekdays swimming, boogie boarding and surfing with just the dolphins, whales, seals and shorebirds to keep you company.

This is a great location for visiting Monterrey, Carmel, Capitola, Santa Cruz, 17 Mile Drive or just relaxing on the beach.

Host profile image
We know that your vacation is important to you and so we do our best to ensure that you find our home to be a pleasant place to enjoy local attractions, ocean beaches, and your time to relax and unwind away from the everyday.

====================================
My wife and I met in Cambridge, MA in '84 and moved from the East Coast Bay Area to the West Coast Bay Area three years later.

====================================
Casa Mare is our second home. We spend weekends (sometimes long ones since we love it here so much more than the hectic Silicon Valley) in the upstairs apartment. Our kids are grown so it’s just the two of us. We are available to answer any questions and to share our favorite places to visit and eat at.

====================================
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We look forward to answering any and all questions you may have. Between the 2 of us we speak 6 languages.

We hope that we get an opportunity to host your family and have you and yours enjoy all that the area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Location! Location! Location!
====================================
Both being scientists, we used a scientific approach, the Radar app, in selecting the warmest, least foggy beach community in the Monterey Bay Area. We were surprised to discover that often there is a 15 to 20 degrees difference with in less than 10 miles.
We chose our home because of proximity to the beach (the beach path is around the corner), quiet neighborhood, and its unique architecture.

What makes this property unique

The house architecture provides total privacy; with guest having an exclusive use of the back yard, outdoor shower and BBQ.
====================================
We love to travel and to stay in vacation rentals, especially when traveling with our family or friends. For the past 30+ years we have rented over 100 places all over US and Europe and have used this experience in setting up our home. We furnished it with all the things that we’ve enjoyed and appreciated: tourist information, guide books, lots of books and games for adults and kids, cooks kitchen, extra towels and linens, and of course everything one would need for the beach, even kites. Many guests comment on our location and how well-equipped our home is.
