Great Stay!

We had a wonderful stay! Right across from the beach and a beautiful view. Had a great time with the whole family and we’re looking forward to booking this spot again next year.

Review

Location is great. Would describe house as funky. Huge stains in the upstairs bedroom. It was eclectic. Need new couches in living room. Overall, ok, but would probably not stay here again. Tightly wound spiral staircase is dangerous to lower level. Had one fall during visit.

Lovely for walking shore line.

Relaxed view of bay. Full vista of sandy beach and horizon. Our dogs loved watching the people and cars pass by from front porch. Master bedroom and living room had fabulous view. All other bedrooms not so much. All family members were happy!

Amazing Location!

The house was located in an ideal spot in Aptos - right across the street from a beautiful beach. We spent a lot of time on the beach and in the water. The waves were not big when we were there and broke right on shore, so it was actually pretty good for some newbies bodysurfing. The view is spectacular. The house is in decent shape and it was clean. It also had all the kitchen staples stocked and pots and pans, silverware, cups, etc.. Bathrooms had fresh linens, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. My only complaint is the beds. There was one good, big bed upstairs that my parents slept in. The bed my wife and I slept in was very uncomfortable and loud every time we got in or out or turned over in the bed. The rest were bunk beds, a twin bed, and cubbies. Overall it was a great experience.

Great family beach get-away

We spent two nights, for Easter weekend. Fantastic location, literally just a few steps from the sand. We could sit in the family room, or on the deck and see the kids playing on the beach. Our family vacation included 4 adults and 6 children, ages 7-17. Everyone was happy with their rooms and beds. Great layout for family fun, plenty of room. No complaints and highly recommended. Thank you!
