About the host

Host profile image
Our families have been in Northern California since 1970, and we fell in love with Santa Cruz, Aptos and Monterey Bay. My wife is a UCSC graduate as well! We are employed full-time in communal and pastoral work. We keep a studio above the garage.

Why they chose this property

Great energy. Great location. Great hosts :-). We have owned this home for more than two decades. We love coming to our Aptos hideaway to vacation and recharge, and hope you will too!

What makes this property unique

The Aptos Wellness Hideaway has modern necessities and conveniences, while retaining the charm and feel of a California coastal a-frame. The house was renovated over the last couple of years and is great for individuals, couples, or families. It's a fantastic place to stay any time of year. Minimum rental period is 30 days. We are dog friendly.
