This is our 6th year staying at 272 Beach Dr. The house could really use a good deep cleaning. We do appreciate all the upgrades the homeowners have done over the years. Enjoyed walking down to Venus Spirits for cocktails and appetizers.

We have rented this house for the last 6 years. This is one of the best locations, however the house needs a major deep clean. We have always used their linen service, however the quality of linen is subpar. Next year we are bringing our own. The house was fully stocked with household items except toilet paper.

We have rented this unit for the last 5 years. Some great upgrades have been done over the years. The most recent was new deck railing, lounge chairs, patio furniture and storm shutters. Bailey property manager was quick to resolve the lack of hot water.

This house suited the needs of our family of four very well. There is no private parking space but we always found a place right out the backdoor to park. Our stay was only a couple of months after the big storms that battered the coastline here so the beach wasn't quite as pristine as usual. The big bummer was that we did not have beach access from the patio due to ordinances from the local authorities. The concern being that the rock wall is unstable. It looked far from unstable to us. This wasn't the property manager's fault. However, it did impinge on the vacation experience not to be able to walk out to the beach as we had planned. The management company in general was a dream to work with and was incredibly helpful and responsive, really great. Unfortunately, the house next door was under construction for a lot of the week, which made being on the patio not very peaceful. The views are incredible, the kitchen well appointed and the location was good for us. Overall a very nice stay.

Beach Dr. In Aptos is less than 2 hours drive. The unit we stayed in was well equipped and was perfect for us. The view of Monterey Bay is literally feet away from the back door.

The only drawback to the experience was the fact that the owner has placed barriers and chains along three sides of the back porch, which is off-putting and a visual distraction. If you want an unimpeded view, stay elsewhere.

Although this place was on the beach, it was the main walkway for people, so a lot of foot traffic. Bedroom situation was not ideal as all bedrooms were connected and center room had to walk through one of the other bedrooms to exit or use bathroom. Bedding was not clean. Blood on one of the pillows.

We (3 old college women friends) had a great time. Access, communication, cleanliness, kitchen (small but chock full of everything), etc. all were good. Gave 3 stars for description and 4 overall instead of 5 due to lack of description for bedroom layout. The middle of the 3 bedrooms can only be accessed by going through one of the other bedrooms. Being long time friends this was fine for us but maybe not so great for 3 couples. Description should explain that whom ever is in the middle bedroom has to go through one of the other bedrooms to get in and out of the bedroom including to go to the bathroom (in the middle of the night).

Our 4th year renting this property. Improvements are very welcome. The addition of an outdoor shower is very much appreciated. Housekeeping does need to do a better job of mopping the floors through out the unit.

This was our 38th year at this property! All the new upgraded makes it a very nice destination for my family!!! The outdoor shower returned GREAT!! Plus fans were helpful as it was quite warm this year! I recommend 272 for a small family cozy,clean,uptodate. We’ll be back next year. Always visit Pixie, went to The Mystery Spot, and The Santa Cruz Boardwalk! Would love if we didn’t have to share the walkway with bicycles can’t allow my granddaughters to play on the walk with the discourteous riders whisking bye. Not under your control just takes away from the beauty and peacefulness. See you next year.

The property is perfect in every way. Right on the beach and in walking distance to restaurants and a corner store. Would definitely stay there again. Loved everything about it and was sad to leave.

Annual Get-together
What a delightful meeting place for our annual gathering of ladies from Tahoe area, SF Bay Area, Central Valley and SoCal. Though the weather was a bit on the chilly side, the beach still revived the soul!

Beautiful get away for two
Location of the property is amazing. Little market and deli a short walk from the house. We enjoyed the sunset from the second floor deck, and the next night sat by the fire pit.

Great location
Location was great, right on the beach. My mother has limited mobility, and she was able to get around great. We sat on the porch, every day to enjoy coffee or a meal. We loved talking to the walkers, we even made some new friends. the appliances were updated and it had some cute decorations. The only complaint I had is the twin beds are a bit hard and have flat pillows. Perhaps a pillow top on the beds and some new pillows would be an easy fix. I would definately return!

Bad smell.
The property itself was great, right on the beach,. The problem was the house had a horrible smell, I think mostly when we turned on the heater, I called the property manager and they were aware of it and said I didn’t need to be concerned as they had it checked and couldn’t figure it out. Kinda ruined our stay. Had to sleep with the windows open.

Beach at your feet in seconds!
Great location! Clean property. Beds are ok. Only issue we had was it has a small water heater, we ran out of hot water while showering in the evenings. The location is perfect & works well for a family with small kids. I would definitely stay here again.

Casual, and right on the beach, easy parking
Compact and clean, this small 3 BR 2 BA cottage had everything we needed - but some of it needed a bit of fixing. We left the realtor a list and hopefully they fixed the toaster, TV, curtains, after we left.

It was nice
The staff were polite, the space was nice. The view and proximity to the beach was the best part of our stay. The noisy and noxious fumes neighbors( they didnt know how to use ligher fluid with their grill) were challening.

Family Loved It
We really enjoyed our stay here. Will definitely be back. The grand kids loved the fact that the beach is right through the sliding glass doors... perfect for those of us that had to bring them off of the beach when the sun went down.
