We had a fantastic stay! Arriving in the evening, we were warmly welcomed by the host, who went above and beyond to provide clear directions, making our check-in seamless. The location is perfect—central and convenient for exploring the area. The outdoor space was a highlight, offering a comfortable and quiet spot ideal for my virtual business meeting. The cozy kitchen was well-equipped with a great selection of teas, coffee, and pantry basics, which added a thoughtful touch to our stay. We truly loved every moment and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

I was in Aptos for 7 nights (Sunday afternoon through Sunday morning), and enjoyed staying here. I appreciated having a fully functional kitchen and stable wifi, which made it easy to meet my work needs (half days in US/Eastern mornings) while allowing me to maximize my visiting time with elderly relatives in the area. Great location, if a little difficult to find the first time.

It was just what we needed, and more. It was very convenient for visiting our family. Although we didn’t spend much time in the room, it was very comfortable and well stocked. Check-in was easy and the wi-fi worked fine. Aptos is a lovely community. We would not hesitate to stay here again on future visits.

Great location and host!

We stayed in Julie’s studio over the weekend for my daughter’s birthday and it was the perfect location for heading out to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the close beach, and Santa Cruz. They had a cot available for my daughter though she did end up in the bed with us. Julie is very nice, welcoming, and accommodating! It was the perfect place and size for us for our trip.

The place was more spacious than expected from the ad. There is a separate kitchen, which had everything we needed, and a generous supply of food items. The location was perfectly situated with just a short drive to beaches and the gorgeous Nisene Marks Forest. Shopping and ample restaurants are nearby. The family lives upstairs and there was hardly any noticeable noise. We had all the privacy we needed. Host was very helpful and communicative. Highly recommend!

Charming is right! Julie's studio is delightful and made the perfect base for my exploration of Santa Cruz County and Monterey Bay. The location is Heavenly, with resident hummingbirds and butterflies and views out over the water, and everything I could have wanted was provided, down to a caraffe of filtered water in the fridge. Julie is an extremely giving and generous host and her love of the area is infectious. I have nothing but good things to say, I definitely recommend staying here if you have the chance!
