Loved Our Stay!

We had a wonderful time at this property. For us, it was the perfect location: the ocean nearby, a cute neighborhood, great places to walk, access to town from the beach and close to both Capitola and Monterey. The house is charming and the garden gorgeous. We found the beds and pillows so comfy. We will definitely visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Diane Parker

Host profile image
We moved to the San Joaquin Valley 32 years ago from West Los Angeles and started visiting Aptos several times a year. We were finally able to purchase our home in 2015 after many years of saving! We took 2018 to remodel and create our dream home and started sharing with others. We feel like it is home now and in 2019 were happy to share our little slice of heaven with you. We call her "Peace & Plenty"!

Why they chose this property

The ability to get to the beach in 5 minutes walking along the beautiful creek is what sold us on the house. The views and bird watching from the deck are also amazing,
