Access to the charming beach was incredible - just a very short walk down the one-way road. The house is in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by mature trees. The rooms were comfy and it had everything we needed. Parking was fine - two cars in the driveway as promised. Aptos is a lovely village - there is a great place for ice cream near the huge grocery store up the road too.

Clean & awesome beach house, walk to the beach and awesome mountain or gravel road biking pedaling right from the house. Shops/food isn’t really walkable due to walking along a very busy & tight road. A dog was barking loudly as we were packing up, super glad that waited til departure. It was perfectly quiet & peaceful during our stay before packing up. The loft bed facing the driveway was nothing short of a magical place to sleep. Pool table was a hoot. We’d absolutely stay here again, sure hope to return. The Hideaway is 6 minutes away with outstanding food. Beach & MTB without driving is truly a treat, must mention this again as that’s quite rare.

Great place near the beach and with lots of space to hang out and enjoy family time. It was pouring rain and the space was so cozy it didn’t even bother us that we were cooped up. Lovely spot would definitely go back.

The property and house were beautiful! Clean, nice location. We stayed for my daughter's birthday and the proximity to the beach was wonderful! The amenities were ok. We had a great stay. The only thing that could be improved is the speed of communication with the hosts. We had some adjustments to make before our stat and it seemed that turn around time in messaging was about 2 days. Also, the wifi information was not posted anywhere in the house or check in guide so we had to message the host and did not hear back for quite a few hours. Not a huge thing. Overall this place was great and we'd love to come back!

This property is very comfortable. Small but well stocked kitchen. Sunny private backyard. Plenty of space to relax in the living room or upstairs with the pool table. The gas fireplace made a perfect warm and cozy setting for libations in the evening and coffee in the morning.
