The Neighborhood:
Aptos is a coastal gem nestled in Santa Cruz County. With its stunning beaches, including Rio del Mar and Seacliff State Beach, it's a haven for sun-seekers and surf enthusiasts. This charming town boasts a laid-back vibe, a mix of boutique shops, and a vibrant dining scene, making it a perfect destination for a relaxing vacation. The iconic Cement Ship at Seacliff Beach is a must-see, and nearby forested parks like Nisene Marks offer hiking and biking trails. Aptos combines natural beauty, small-town charm, and easy access to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, creating an ideal coastal escape for visitors.

This is a very quiet, family neighborhood. It is not a good place for gatherings or parties so please keep that in mind when booking this home. We are very respectful of our neighbors and will not tolerate loud noise past curfew and additional guests at the property.

- Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (20 minute drive)

Other Things to Note:
- We have landscapers, pest service, hot tub, and other property maintenance done on a weekly basis. You may see or hear these service professionals during your stay as they let themselves into the backyard to service as needed. Please be sure to ask about this before booking if you think it might be an issue for you.
- TV is a smart tv with streaming capabilities. There are no cable or local channels.
- The exterior of this home is monitored by 24/7 surveillance recording devices for safety.
- We are required to stick to our cancellation policy and we suggest adding trip insurance for any last minute issues that may impact your travel (Weather, Illness, etc). We are not able to cancel, move or refund bookings that do not fall in our cancellation policy for any reason.

When we pulled up to the property we were amazed! It exceeded our expectations! Each bedroom had its own veranda. The patio, zen garden and hot tub were delightful. We appreciated the sound machines and fans in each bedroom. It was the perfect spot for our sister get-away! Thank you so much!

We had a great time. The house was very nice and clean. Parking was a big plus for the area. Walking distance to everything we needed. Everything you need was at the house that you will need for your beach trips.

Location was great - Disappointed Stay

TVs didn’t work properly. WIFI on the TVs didn’t work. No bathroom towels in the downstairs bathroom. Too many emails about the time we had to check out. Very pricey for a check in at 4pm and a check out at 10am. Would not stay at this property again.

Would not recommend!

We did not enjoy our accommodations. There were safety concerns as well as comfort concerns. There was no smoke detector in the kitchen. Towels provided for us were not dry to the point that they left the bed damp where they were placed. The fan in the downstairs bathroom was inoperable. We received a text shortly after 9:00 PM alerting us that there was a noise complaint. We were inside with the doors and windows closed laughing as we played a board game. The information we were given told us quiet time was 10:00. We then felt we could not and did not use the backyard, fire pit, or hot tub because we might get fined for having a good time. And that’s how it felt, we sat at a table and played a game but everything changed once we got the text message. The refrigerator and freezer were set at unsafe temperatures and the fridge door did not close/stay closed without effort. The house is farther away from the beach than they describe or show! There is not enough seating in the living room and the chairs in living room are very uncomfortable. Not a place for people who want to enjoy a group. Maybe for 2 people but it would be very stressful to stay quiet all the time with more than 2 people.
