We enjoyed our time at this house. As noted in other reviews, it is clean and the location is fantastic because the beach is so close. (note: this is not the Santa Cruz beach. It is south of there, but this is a less crowded location, which we preferred). We really enjoyed our mornings and evenings on the back patio of the house. The neighborhood is quiet and there are a couple of cute restaurants nearby. This may just be my sensitive nose, but the home had a bit of a lingering pet smell. The air movement from opening a window or two helped with that though.
My recommendations for the owners is to include some basic beach items (mats/towels/bag), and to include more bath towels for guests to use. Also, the check-out information should be more organized in the packet of information provided (a checklist with all requirements rather than the info spread out through a couple paragraphs). I was worried that I would miss something because there were fees attached to forgetting each specific thing.

This home is quite nice - 3 bedrooms, adequately furnished and we had everything we needed. House doesn't have view of beach and is more than "steps away," but still pretty close to walk to. We liked the area - close to Monterey and Carmel. Only thing I would say needs to be improved is to get a new door lock! A regular lock with a code would seem to be much easier than having to send instructions by you tube. Also maybe just a list of what to do when you check out instead of all the monetary threats would have been nice - these are minor complaints - all in all I would recommend this house to others.

Our family of six (3 generations ages 9 to 76) spent four nights in this beautiful home. The house has the space we needed and is configured in a way to provide both privacy and together time. Check-in was a breeze, the house was very clean and exactly as shown in the VRBO listing. The owner/agent was very helpful and accommodating. He sent detailed instructions for the door locks, check in and out, and care of the home. This was much appreciated. The house is on three levels and there are also stairs to the front door, so it is a consideration if there are mobility issues for any renters. Still, the rise on the stairs is gentle and did not present issues even for the oldest member of our party who has had a knee replacement. The area is beautiful. It is a short walk to the beach and a couple of restaurants. It's a short drive to other Aptos restaurants. We went to Monterey Bay Aquarium as well as to Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk. We walked on the Cliff trail in Santa Cruz. Altogether, it was a really nice getaway- and this rental was a perfect place for us to stay.

How wonderful it was to be on the coast! The house is walking distance to the beach and a quick drive to Seascape golf! The layout of the house offered privacy for the 3 of us and the kitchen was quite well stocked with pots, pans, toaster, etc. to make meals.
The neighborhood is tight and we did hear some partying but nothing that kept us up.
Overall, it was a fabulous stay! Thank you David!

This is a wonderful house in a great location. Very spacious and stocked with anything you would need. Beautifully decorated with such a "homey" feel. The balconies throughout offer a peaceful place for coffee in the morning with privacy and space. Beautiful landscaping & the "fence" of tall bamboo is gorgeous off the large balcony from the main floor with plenty of seating, shade & a BBQ. Home is very clean and well maintained. Location is perfect for those wanting to adventure in any direction of the coast. Owners are amazing!!! Very attentive and quick to respond to any questions I had. Thank you guys for having my sister and I stay in your lovely home. BTW the mattresses are super comfy! Thanks you guys for caring about your guests.

It has a great tropical feel with privacy. My family loved how comfortable the 3 level home was, with the kids having there own private area. We love walking five minutes to and from the beach and local restaurants it was very convenient.
The Margaritaville sign inspired us to go there for our first night and was a lot of fun.

We found this amazing house while looking for a place to stay visiting family in CA and celebrating my dad's 75th birthday. We found the house extremely clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our five days. Plenty of towels and kitchen supplies along with a really nice gas grill that we used for dinner one night. The location is great with access to the beach, a coffee shop, a mini mart and a couple cool restaurants. The house is also very close to several shopping areas including a supermarket, drug store, liquor stores and many more. We will definitely consider returning on our next trip!

We loved staying at the property. The house was very well equiped and very comfortable to stay at. David reached out to us several times to make sure everything was just right. On top of the great place to stay, it was about a 5 minute walk to the beach!

Santa Cruz
Good location & short walk to beach. Nice large windows across entire wall of dining & family room allowing for a lot of natural light & fresh air. Good amenities with kitchen & pantry well stocked. master bedroom bed was comfortable. Nicer bath towels, unlike some places w/thin flimsy ones.
Place was clean but there were ant traps everywhere, so was a tip off they could be a problem. Some appeared 2 days in a row on master bath counter.

Really relaxing and easy
The house was very welcoming - comfortably furnished, well-stocked with cooking supplies, with generous congregation spaces both outside and inside and amenably sized room. The location of the house was the best - within a few minutes walk of the beach, and the beach had a long expanse for walking; and within a short drive of hiking and other activities. We loved it. And the manager was great.

Great location
This house was a great location for day trips to San Fran, Santa Cruz Beach, Redwood parks, Monterrey and wineries. Aptos beach was a quiet, quaint town.

Simply Awesome!
Location was incredible - between Monterey & Santa Cruz, and so close to the beach. The home was very clean & had plenty of room for my family of 6. The communication with the owner was also awesome - he answered every question very quickly & even fought for us to get our deposit back quickly. David (owner) was on top of all the details - such as towels on the beds & even Poo-Pourri in the bath rooms.
Thanks, David, for a great week!

Spacious comfy quiet beach house
Lovely home 5-10 min walk from the beach. We really appreciated the warm private outdoor shower and the kids toys. Fresh linens and extra cozy blankets, variety of mattresses and pillows to suit everyone’s preferences. Well equipped kitchen and excellent communication and hospitality. Very clean but one guest had trouble with their very sensitive dust allergies with all the silk plants.

Wonderful spacious house near the beach
We had a wonderful stay. The house is open and airy, with a great set-up for our family (two bedrooms downstairs, one upstairs). It was impeccably clean and nice for relaxing inside and on the decks. It's a flat 5-10 minute walk to the beach (we were doing it with young kids and bags of beach toys and it was not bad). We had a great time and would love to come back soon!

Hidden gem
On a quiet court this little gem hides. It's max 10min (with kids!) to the beach and has a lovely deck for when you get back. It's fully stocked with all that you could possibly need (including toys for kids). We had an amazing time here and would highly recommend anyone else needing a getaway to check this one out.

Fall break getaway
Lovely super clean home . Loved the deck for relaxing peekaboo view of the water and sunset . Best thing was the 2 short block walk to the beach. Quiet cul de sac location . Would love to return ... suggestion would be to have 2 keys in the lock box otherwise everything was perfect
