My son and I stay here every time we come to the beach for vacation. The house is clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything you need. The location is perfect. Just steps from Rio del Mar beach, and a quick walk to Sea Cliff State Beach. A quick drive to Santa Cruz too. All the restaurants nearby are wonderful. Pixie Deli has great breakfast and lunch and Venus Pie Trap has the best croissants! I would highly recommend staying here.

Very happy with our stay. House was clean, lots of towels, hot water, well stocked kitchen. Lots of thoughtful comfort stuff. Dogs loved walking on the beach 1 block away. Owner is very responsive and helpful if needed. Nice to sit on the balcony off the master bedroom in the sun and read. 3 restaurants and store right handy.

Exceptionally clean, tidy, and comfortable condo. It was easy to relax in this well stocked, organized unit, as host has planned well for guests enjoying either a short or an extended stay. Located in a super quiet neighborhood, this unit is a very short (2 min) easy walk to the beach. With windows open at night, guests can hear the gentle sound of ocean waves upon the beach. All communication with host was excellent. Would definitely recommend this unit and hope to plan a return visit.

I have been staying here for my beach vacation every summer with my son. We love the location, just a quick walk to Rio Del Mar Beach. Walk a little further to Sea Cliff State Beach. Great places to eat near by. Pixie Deli and Venus Restaurant and Bakery. A short drive to Santa Cruz Beach Board Walk. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and well stocked with everything you need. I always look forward to this home away from home.

The Beachside Aptos condo is a delightful place to stay. Location is ideal, being only a block from a gorgeous, fine sand beach, Rio Del Mar, which is fine for boogie boarding, long romantic walks, or strolling with your poochie. The condo is well appointed, with visitors’ comfort in mind. We cooked great meals, relaxed on the patio and upstairs deck, and enjoyed local restaurants. We look forward to returning to this lovely, light, airy condo soon.

This house is cute and comfortable, has an upstairs balcony where you can sit and enjoy the ocean breeze, and everything you need for a beach vacation. It is just steps away from Rio del Mar Beach and a short walk to Sea Cliff state beach. We come here every summer and always enjoy it. There are many great places to eat nearby like Pixie Deli and Pizza 1 and there is nice hiking in this area too. We love to just swim at the beach all day when we stay here. Our dog loves it too. We always look forward to coming back.

The house is so close to the beach. It's got just about everything you could need. (Bring some beach towels.) It was just enough room for the 4 of us to do what we needed, when we were there. There's so much to do and see in the area. The management is very responsive.

We had an excellent stay and the townhouse couldn't be cuter. Being so close to the beach was amazing for us as we have small kids and could easily hop back to the home for the bathroom, snack etc. The townhome had everything we needed plus extras like beach chairs and sand toys. Aptos is close so many cute costal towns and the area is truly gorgeous. We had a great stay!

You can tell the owner of this place in Aptos cares about their house. It was very clean and neat with personality to boot AND was a very short 1 block walk to the beach. We will definitely return:)

What a great getaway. This place was very clean and comfortable. Stocked with all of the amenities and even a "Karma Drawer" for any forgotten toiletry items you may have forgotten to pack. Just a block down the street from the beach (dog-friendly), a few restaurants, and a market. Our hostess was gracious and extremely responsive. We'd be more than happy to stay there again!
