Detractors from our stay were, no blanket or pillow cases for the hide a bed, Sunday morning at 8:30am workers started removing and installing sections of the fence attached to the house. No communication from owners or rental managers about this
4.5
We had a great stay. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking - every pot, pan and utensil you might need. The sunny, bright kitchen and living room are upstairs and three bedrooms downstairs. Very close to the steps to the beach and we enjoyed long walks. Great location. When emailing ahead of time the property management was very responsive. We’d stay again!!
4.5
Nice enough. Upstairs deck with a view of the ocean. Confusing check-in process (management company emailed instructions 3 months before our stay, right after first payment - challenging to figure out how to get the key.)
Kitchen was sufficient, beds ok. Nice the nicest place we’ve ever stayed at but was the right price point for a 7-day stay in the Santa Cruz area. Neighborhood & local shops were fantastic!

A lovely place to spend time at the beach with my family. The property is exactly as described. This is a nice quiet neighborhood near the beach. There is a short walk to the beach and be prepared for stairs.

Had a wonderful time staying in this lovely beach home! Ocean views, excellent dining within walking distance, and very helpful/communicative rental team.

This home is so cute and located in a really quaint and conveniently located neighborhood. The only few things that I would have liked to be aware of in advance is that there is only one TV, not a big deal to me, but my husband does enjoy some TV in the evening. The other thing, is the WiFi was really weak, I did have to work a little bit on this trip, which was a little harder without good internet access. Overall this was a lovely trip and getaway spot, would 100 percent recommend.

This house was beautiful & SO full of sunlight streaming through the windows & all the rooms including bathrooms, were sparkling clean! This house is WELL taken care of & it shows! We loved all the bedrooms downstairs & having the "tv room" with a cozy & comfy couch with the gas fireplace turned on, watching the playoffs was wonderful & so relaxing! They supplied everything one would need for a getaway & we will DEFINITELY be returning!!

Sweet, humble little cottage in a quiet neighborhood. Four bedrooms (one is a TV room) 2.5 baths was fine for a family of three. Well-maintained, clean and good instructions. Dog friendly was essential. Nice balcony for relaxing with a peak at the sea and very close to the beach gate. Worked out well for visiting family in Aptos and taking care of business we needed to accomplish in the area.
4.5
Property was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Walking distance to the beach and Manuel's Mexican Restaurant (yum). Well suited for our party and dogs.
4.5
The stay was what we all needed after working and dealing with stress in our lives. Listening to the ocean while at the house, enjoying the ocean breeze, and the peaceful neighborhood was perfect. The walk to the beach is close and easy, I have two little ones that did the stairs after being at the beach all day and didn't complain about how much further so I know it is not that bad, lol. All in all, it was a great trip and thank you very much.
4.5
Close to the beach and loved hearing the sounds of the waves. House had a casual and comfortable vibe. Aptos is a peaceful, sleepy town and my adult daughters and I enjoyed the getaway weekend. On the negative side, the check in/out process was not simple. A lengthy contract with multiple reminders that “CHECK OUT IS10:00! NO EXCEPTIONS!” I get it, but I did NOT need a phone reminder the day before we left (two night stay) that CHECKOUT IS 10:00 AND NO EXCEPTIONS!

Great location and cute place. We had a great time! Some small cleanliness needs, but that’s being picky

We arrived around 4:00 pm to the rental company after a very long day of traveling from the East coast. We were checked in and given the keys. When we arrived at the house, there were dirty towels in piles and the beds were unmade. Obviously the house hadn’t been cleaned from prior tenants (so gross). We called the management company and they said they would send over the cleaning crew and that we should go to a bar or for a couple hours. This greatly inconvenienced our family because we had dinner plans that evening and needed to freshen up before. We ended up sitting in the car for nearly 2 hours until the house was cleaned. The next day a woman from another rental company showed up and said she was there to inspect the property for her clients who were due to arrive the following weekend (we did not let her in). The property served the purpose as we had a place to stay. Unfortunately our experience with the rental company etc was not great.

Reviewer Comments:
This house has so much potential but it needs some major updating. It did not feel clean, it was outdated and old, the furniture in the living room was filthy and I covered it with blankets I had brought in order to sit on it. The towels and bedding were clean, but the bedding was old and needs to be updated and refreshed. There were some ants in the kitchen which I was told is the norm for a beach house. The place needs a fresh coat of paint, baseboards need redoing, the window tracks were filthy. The only tv was downstairs in an office. The place is old, outdated and not clean overall.

Carpet and throw rugs need to be cleaned more frequently. But other then that the stay was nice and house was clean.

Good on short notice
Needs a good cleaning and some minor repairs. The neighbor is super quiet. The beach is a few minutes to walk to. Elderly individuals may have problems walking to/from the beach because of the stairs. The location is between Monterey and Santa Cruz.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. I would have liked more blankets for sofa bed. Also, the instructions in blue binder on coffee table needs to be updated in regards to the table umbrella and outside chairs. Propane tank on bbq needs to be filled as it was almost out. The location is great. Not far from path to Seacliff Beach.

The house and neighborhood is in a wonderful location walking distance to the Seacliff State Beach. The neighborhood is very quiet and there are great restaurants within walking distance. I highly recommend this location.

Lovely and comfortable home right by the beach. Aptos was a great base for trips to Monterey, Salinas, etc and a lovely beach town. The home was well equipped and very comfortable for our group of 8.

Nice house. It’s quite a trek to the beach, but within walking of restaurants and bars. Beds were pretty hard. My poor old body was sore after I woke up each day. My muscles eventually loosened up. Overall, it was good.

The house is very close to the beach. It's a great location in a quiet neighborhood. Loved the small town feel of Aptos. The fenced yard was adequate for our dogs, however, it was a little overgrown.
