Welcome to Casa Rio Del Mar! This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is perfectly situated in the heart of Rio Del Mar, Aptos. Just four houses from the beach path, it's less than a 5-minute walk to the stunning Rio Del Mar Beach.

Great location, 5 minutes walk to the beach. Minor issues with cleanliness, required cleaning after arrival. Dishwasher was not cleaning properly, had to wash dishes by hand..

Amazing place to stay! We had 8 people in our party and we were so comfortable. Close to the beach in a private neighborhood. House is very well stalked. Thank you we will definitely be booking again. P.s Communication with them was prompt and answered all questions. Definitely a 10/10

We rented in Aptos to be nearer our daughter and son-in-law in Monterey. We are usually in Cambria. The rental process was very smooth. When we waffled on whether or not to stay for New Years, the owner was very understanding.

Great location. Great house in a quite neighborhood. Perfect for my needs and will rent once a yr when my inlaws are in town. Please see if there is an issue with the dishwasher, I didn't use it but this year and last year it beeps every 5min and I dont know how to turn it off.

Very clean. Nice neighborhood for walking. Very comfortable beds. Convenient to have washer-dryer and space for three cars. Trail to beach is close by but challenging with young children and beach gear. Comfortable living room and upstairs great room, with plexiglass on upper railing for child safety. Pellet BBQ and outdoor table on level above kitchen was a bit challenging. Kitchen very poorly stocked—few bowls, glasses, and pots and pans; we ended up buying paper plates rather than using the heavy plates. Prefer beach level location.

We are locals (30 miles away) who needed a place to stay while our floors were being refinished. Wonderful stay all around. We will return when we need a place to stay for the next phase of our remodel. Highly recommend

Home was perfect for a family vacation. Plenty of room to spread out. Upstairs family room was spacious. A short walk to the beach in a very quiet neighborhood.
My 4 year old grandson was in his glory. His last words as we were leaving: “I’m going to miss this place!”

We had a wonderful holiday in Aptos with our family of 3 young men. The location is very close to the beach and the house had plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Plenty of seating and one giant TV that allowed for fun family movie nights. Will return again next year!

this is a spacious clean and bright home perfect for us and our friends with young children. close to the beach and nisene marks.. 2 kitchens is a great idea but they are sparsely appointed. plenty of plates, but bring your own cooking supplies and salt, pepper, spices, oil, if you wanna really use them.

We really appreciated the amenities not only the great smelling sheets and towels, but the kitchen supplies and things special for COVID19 (masks, sanitizer, etc.). Mostly loved finding such a special place to get out of the Bay Area and to the beach for the weekend away. Grocery shopping nearby. Plenty of kitchen gadgets, wine glasses and a wonderful barbeque. Tons of things for the kids to play with, books and the TV/internet situation was turn key and ready to go. So great after a long drive with toddlers to get there! Small things for the older set is that that main living space is upstairs so get your steps in. The garden area is very well taken care of. Maybe in the summer there will be a dining set on the porch upstairs. The walkway to the beach is rather washed out so we went down to the beach, but then sent the younger ones back for the car to come and get us. Nice walk down and back to the Pixie market for a beer and visit with friends outdoors. Restrooms on the beach at Rio Del Mar great as local restaurant restrooms are still closed. House and layout was perfect for our family and more bedding than we expected. Beach chairs in the closet. Tons of beach towels and a bag of firewood for one night in the upstairs loft was appreciated. We also used the gas fireplace downstairs. 2 fully stocked kitchens and a bar area that seats 7-8 upstairs. We used the washer and dryer and had soap pods for it and both of the dishwashers. Hope to be able to spend a week there again in the summer.

Roomy, warm house just a 5 mins walk from our favorite beach in Aptos. We stayed here with our 4 children and had plenty of room, lots of peace and quiet, modern amenities (Netflix, etc) and just a short walk to a beautiful (and doggy friendly) beach. Would love to stay here again!

The house is great for getting together with family, it has a neat set up with two kitchens. It is definitely a short walk to the beach down a path, only takes about 5 minutes. The path is a bit steep but we took a double stoller down Property manager was great, answered questions I had and was very understanding when we were a little late to leave after a car problem.

Comfy Get Away
Great location! Short 5-10 minute walk to the beach! Our group of 8 slept very comfortably in this large house. There were plenty of pillows, blankets, and linen if we needed extras. We loved the open floor plan and that there were two separate living areas and the additional kitchen upstairs. The house had a lot of natural light which was really nice. The only complaint we have was that we wish there were nonstick pans as it was difficult cooking some meals since they kept sticking to the pans. Other than that, we had a great time and wish we could have extended our stay longer. Even the little fur babies we brought enjoyed their stay.

Would stay again!
Property listing was accurate. Enough sleeping and seating space for our group. Perfect location in Aptos. Quick drive into town for groceries. Quick drive or walk access to beaches. Two minor issues which were addressed with management. Garbage is on Friday morning, not Thursday morning as listed. Downstairs oven did not work during our stay. Otherwise all went great and we would stay again.

Beach access
Was disappointed that getting to the beach was so difficult. Had to go to another beach

Casa Rio Del Mar
This is a very spacious and gracious home in a quiet neighborhood with a short walk to the nearby clean and uncrowded beach. The house was spotlessly clean and the kitchens, both upstairs and downstairs, were supplied with everything necessary for those who wish to cook meals and the outdoor eating area is lovely. The owners have thought of everything to make the stay so comfortable...window coverings to give privacy and shut out light, new and luxurious bed and bath linens. The location is within a short distance to grocery markets, pharmacy and many casual eating options. I especially liked that it is convenient to Santa Cruz and a short drive to the Monterey/Carmel area. I would recommend it to family and friends and hope to return myself.
