About this property
Jaw-Dropping Beach-Front Retreat!
THIS...
...Is not your typical beach house and location.
A stunning, modern and fun aesthetic inside.
Jaw-dropping panoramic ocean views outside.
THE HOUSE…
…Is a three-story home comprised of 4 bedrooms and 2-1/2 bathrooms. Two balconies provide 180° Monterey Bay ocean views overlooking Rio del Mar beach and the renowned SS Palo Alto “cement ship.” Swing in the hanging rope hammock chairs with your sunglasses on while basking in the warmth of the afternoon sun...the kids playing on the beach in front of you. Relax on the balconies with a glass of wine while watching the brilliant red, orange and yellow sunsets.
THE EXPERIENCE…
…Is one you’ll never forget! You think it ever gets boring watching dolphins and whales off your back balcony? It does not. Perhaps the sound of the crashing waves doesn’t relax you? It always does. Or, maybe the feel of the sand under your feet doesn’t sweep you away? It will.
WORK, STUDY AND PLAY FROM HERE…
…If you must work instead of play for a part of your stay, then you can easily work-from-home and attend online school here. Great wifi access is provided. A desk in one master bedroom serves as a private office if needed. A child’s desk in another bedroom will be great for little ones in online school. Additionally the dining room table and even outdoor patio dining table can serve as additional work and study spots.
RESERVE NOW…
…You will be delighted.
The whole house!
Available by phone, text, and email. Can come to the house if needed.
THE LOCATION on “the island” of Rio del Mar in Aptos is a prime spot for beach fun, water activities, and nearby dining. You can stay there and never leave…or…go explore nearby Capitola, Santa Cruz and Monterey. There are an unlimited number of activities and sites including wine tasting, golfing, surfing, hiking, and beautiful drives.
Parking is first come first serve along the street.
Walk everywhere! Miles of beach, food, drink, and coffee all walking distance. 8 miles to Santa Cruz Beach Board Walk
I will send a confirmation email after you book with all of the information that you will need to know for your trip.
I recommend purchasing travelers insurance due to potential shutdowns
House Rules: This is not a party house. Quiet hours start at 10pm. To access the beach, use street side sidewalk and use the public stairs to the beach.
