Great house and host and had all of our needs. This was the second time we have stayed here and we will look to stay here again in the future. Really close to the State Parks we enjoy.
This home was perfect for us. The location, the comfort, everything. We felt at home the minute we stepped in. The patio and yard were perfect for my 1 year old grandson. Close to the beach, close to Marianne’s close to Santa Cruz, it was everything we hoped it would be.
Owner thought of everything with chairs for beach.Close walk to beach and day pass was a nice touch too. Recommend providing sugar and creamer and coffee filters. Pillows were flat. Outdoor fire pit would be nice. We would stay again.
Absolute amazing stay and experience. As an architect, I appreciated the great interior layout but more importantly, the amazing outdoor space. We interchanged lounging in the “front yard” and amazing backyard. Very useable and well appointed. We even played bags and bocce in the backyard and used the bikes to get to and from the beach. Thank you Colm for sharing your home with us!!!
Very clean, quiet, peaceful, cozy and all around amazing place to stay. Also within walking distance to Seacliff Beach. What more could anyone ask for?
We had a great visit with family. The kitchen was great for cooking and prep. The location was great for exploring beaches and Redwood forests! We loved our time here!
Our stay was exceptional! This home is well suited for families, even those with young children. Our kiddos had a blast running around the backyard. The house itself was clean and cozy. The host has everything you need for a fun day at the beach (7-10 minute walk). Aptos is an absolute delight. We cannot wait to come back!
This was the perfect house for our little getaway trip with our family of 5. We had all the amenities we needed, very clean, close to the beach, and lots of restaurants/grocery stores nearby. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Colm Kennedy
Our family has been coming to the beaches around Santa Cruz for 25 years and has always dreamed of owning a slice of the beach life. We fell in love with this classic beach house with its light-filled rooms and open floor plan. The neighborhood and the neighbors are fantastic, and it's just a short walk to one of the best beaches on the north coast. We love spending our weekends relaxing by the ocean with friends and family and are excited to open our home to guests who share our passion for beach life.
