Great location , quick 5 min drive to the beach , 20 mins to the boardwalk, 5 mins from the golf course. Plenty of room for entertaining a family of 10 , 8 adults 3 kids . To have your whole family , kids spouses and grand kids under one roof is priceless.

The house and location were perfect for our group. Whether you want to golf, go to the beach, or just hang out and BBQ at the house on the back patio, this was a great spot for our get together. The property manager, Jane, was very responsive, checked in to make sure everything was to our liking, and was flexible when we made some special requests - much appreciated!

The house and location was perfect for a family gathering. The patio in the back where we spent the majority of our time was lovely. The kitchen needs a bit of attention to cleanliness and supplies. Overall a great trip.

Great location, sub-par amenities
We did enjoy our stay here and I would describe it as being fine - not over the top great and not terrible. The house was tidy and in a great location: easy walk to the beach and we saw some amazing sunsets. However, we weren't thrilled with the comfort and homeyness of the place: the beds were very hard and amenities were provided to the bare minimum (i.e., one large towel per person and no hand towels or wash cloths).

Beautiful Aptos
Nice house, spacious and in a sweet neighborhood just a 10 minute walk to the beach. Thought the smaller bedrooms could be better appointed (ie; nightstand and bedside lamp) but all in all we more than enjoyed our stay, especially the hours we spent out back. Very nice.

Family Wedding Stay
Eight family members from three generations stayed here to attend a wedding. It was the perfect home base for a weekend of wedding festivities. Lovely house and very comfortable stay - thanks!

Wedding weekend
Our extended family stayed at this property to attend a wedding at the nearby Seascape Resort. There was plenty of room for activities for all ten of us. The property was clean and the location was quiet. The only things we found lacking were glassware, some utensils and laundry detergent.

Short stay
Location and house are great. Beds are very uncomfortable and for that reason we probably wouldn’t stay for longer period of time.

House and courtyard great
Our family got together for our 50th wedding anniversary. Everyone enjoyed the house and courtyard. We made pizzas in the oven outside. Had a wedding in the courtyard, which was beautiful with all the flowers around. The kids really enjoyed the swing, big hit. BBQed and had an overall great time together. Walked to the lovely beach also. Very comfortable house,

Beach weekend
House was great for our family. Proximity to beach with a short walk was great
House did not include beach towels or beach chairs which would have been nice

Long Weekend Stay
The outside of the property was beautiful!! The photos of the backyard are spot on. Unfortunately, we were very unhappy with the cleanliness of the inside of the home.
The whole house is tile, and it looked and felt like it had been years since it had been cleaned properly. (Grout was black, from improper cleaning, and we kept finding maple syrup spots, that we cleaned up from the people that were there before us). We could not walk around without shoes on, because our socks or feet turned black just after walking around for a few minutes. There were no spices, not even salt and pepper, they said it was because of COVID. The plates, glasses, pots and pans were disgusting!!! Also, none of us brought a hairdryer because the listing said they had one. They did not.
The front tv did not work, they master bathroom shower curtain kept falling down, there are no lamps in any of the bedrooms except the master. Besides all of this, the furniture is either cheap, broken, or very used. (Our family runs a thrift store, and most of the furniture in this home we would have thrown away)!
We just felt, for the amount of money we spent to stay here, it should have been cleaner, and not in such a decrepit state.
We felt it makes Vrbo look bad.

Great stay for golf weekend
This property was great for our group of friends. 6 adult males, all of whom had their own, full (or bigger) bed. Outdoor area was a great place for grilling and enjoying the great weather. Hosts were helpful as well. Great stay, would recommend!

Spacious and great leaping off point
We had a family beach weekend. Good location as a leaping off point to get to beaches, surfing, and activities. Not quite walking distance if you equipment or beach gear - but easy fast driving access to plenty of beaches. Spacious and easy to unwind after a day out enjoying the area.

Lots of space
Our stay was relaxing. We spent most of our time on the spacious patio but when it got too cold we went inside. Kids watching cartoons in one room while we relaxed in the other. Daily walk to the beach was just what we needed. No stress trying to find parking!

Beautiful house and location with some issues
My family came to this house to get away for a couple days and see the ocean. The house itself is great--beautiful backyard, plenty of room inside for many guests (we had less than the max), nice kitchen, and the neighborhood is very nice as well especially for walking around.
Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed with how a couple complaints were handled. Landscapers interrupted our lunch and outdoor family time for over 2 hours in the middle of our trip. When I asked the owner about this, she said they come the same day every week and there isn't anything to be done about it. At the very least they should have this in the rental description! We likely would have picked a different property if we knew this in advance. One of the TVs didn't work when we were there, not a huge deal. Also there are no toiletries or spices/cooking ingredients in the house due to COVID, so just plan ahead for that! Overall we enjoyed the house but for the price paid, we felt we should have had a more enjoyable experience.

Rio Del Mar vacation home
Overall we enjoyed our stay there, even though it was short! The house accommodated all 10 of us with ease. A few items could be improved on... need coffee filters with the coffee pots. The windows could use screens so we can open them without bugs getting in. The fire alarm is very sensitive and went off several times with minor cooking. The gas grill was out of gas, but we figured out that there was a new one close by. Fire pit was very enjoyable as were the s'mores!

Nice Property with a few shortcomings
The property is clean and spacious. A great sized space for a family reunion with 10 people at the holidays. It's a short, but steep walk to the beach. The kitchen is a good size. There are two sitting areas with two different TVs. The outdoor patio is nice looking. The pizza oven did not look like it had been used in a very long time so we did not feel it was safe or clean enough. That was a disappointment. We did use the grill and fire pit and those worked fine.
The owners were not responsive with inquiries prior to our arrival. I had questions about the number and size of beds in each room, but never received a response back after two messages.
They were responsive when the coffee maker broke down. A new machine was delivered to our door that same evening. Thank you for that!
Overall a nice space and location. We would come again.

Beautiful home!
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely Aptos home! The rental manager was very responsive from the very beginning (responded quickly to our questions), online booking was easy, and even called and checked up on us the first day. The house was fully stocked with extra towels, new kitchen equipment, games. Our two families enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen, playing cards on their poker table, and watching TV on their large screen TV. Would definitely return to the same house! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!
