My husband and I spent five nights here. Our only disappointment was leaving. It was such a wonderful, relaxing stay. The house could easily accommodate it few more people. Very clean and will stocked. The location was perfect - close to the beach with a lovely view We hope to stay again!

We spent 4 days at this property while visiting the area and we would recommend it to other families. Our family of 3 had the place to ourselves with more than enough space to stretch out and relax. The house was very clean and well furnished, and had the kitchen supplies we needed to prepare meals while we were there. The proximity to the beach was great - about a 5 min walk - so we spent a good portion of each day by the water. The rental process was simple and access to the home was very convenient. Thank you to hosts Cricket and Mike for a very pleasant stay.

We had a great 5 day stay visiting our son. The property is very clean and close to the beach! We particularly enjoyed the gas fireplace in the cozy living room and the well stocked kitchen for preparing meals! The property is also conveniently located to Aptos Village. We hope to stay again!

We've stayed at this property a few times, and always enjoy coming back. The house is clean, well-appointed, and comfortable all around. Location is also great - beach is just a few minutes walk away, easy drive to local attractions (Santa Cruz Boardwalk, Carmel, Monterey, etc). Owner is also very thoughtful and responsive. Thanks for another great stay!

This house worked very well for our family of 4 with kids ages 5 and 7. Easy walking distance to the beach plus delicious coffee and treats just around the corner at the Venus Pie Trap (with gf pie options)

My family (husband, two daughters, and I) stayed at Mike and Cricket’s property for 3 nights. It was a perfect jumping off point for exploring the Central Coast. Beds and couches were comfy, kitchen stocked, lots of cozy little touches. I wish we could have spent more time in the house. Loved having ocean views. We had great food at Pixie’s across the street, and had ice cream twice at Marianne’s (2 min drive). We had a great stay!
10.0 / 10.0
We loved staying here! This was one of the only vacation homes we’ve stayed in that wasn’t full of tchotchkes to break or knock over on accident, but still tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The outdoor shower has warm water and so nice to use after a day at the beach! The upstairs deck wraps all the way around the house, and makes a perfect racetrack for a toddler.
Very comfy beds, well-stocked with condiments from past guests, and 10/10 communication from hosts. We plan on coming back!

This property was perfect in every way. It was very clean, very comfortable, and very quiet, and so close to the beach. Everything we needed was provided. I would not hesitate recommending this property to my friends.
10.0 / 10.0
It was a great experience for the whole family and convenient being walking distance to the beach and a perfect kitchen space and outdoor grill to save costs on meals. The house has a view of the ocean from the front deck and provides a very cozy space after adventures to Monterey and Santa Cruz. Great for a family or a couple! I recommend this VRBO and we will definitely be staying here again!

Great family getaway!
Amazing house, so close to the beach. It has everything you need…utensils, bedding, towels, dishwasher, washer/dryer, TV in every room. The pilot light went out in the fireplace and the owners were super responsive. Definitely recommend.

Ocean View
We were pleasantly surprised how close we were to the ocean. You can see the ocean from the living room and the outside deck. It is such a quick and pretty walk to the beach. This house is located so close to everything-Santa Cruz, Monterey, etc. Aptos is a super cute town. The house is super cute and has everything that you could need. You won't be lacking for anything. The home is clean and furnishings are nice and comfortable. I would highly recommend staying in this home.

Easy 5-Star Stay
My wife and I are hard-wired to go into any VRBO rental with low expectations. I guess it's a way of somewhat guarding against mild disappointment. This property gets a 5-star rating from us in every category. First, a totally cute and comfy home that has been very well maintained. Second, it was "spic and span" clean. Third, it was very well stocked (i.e., kitchen gear, bath towels, beach-going stuff, etc.) We absolutely, positively LOVED our time in Aptos, CA, and this home played a LARGE part in it. Easy 5-star rating from us!! THANK YOU for a great time!

Perfect beach vacation spot
My mother, 3 young children and I loved this beach property. The house was so close to a wonderful beach and was a nice, slower-paced alternative to Santa Cruz. The house was immaculately clean and had every amenity you could think of. The owners thought of everything, and it was one of the best vacation rentals we have stayed at. We certainly will plan on returning.

Love this place!
Our 3rd time staying here, and it was our best yet. Weather was amazing, so we were able to take full advantage of the 3 minute walk to the beach (really appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella!). This property really has everything you need - super clean, comfortable, and just feels like a wonderful oasis for relaxation the moment you walk in.
The owner was accommodating and thoughtful, as usual. We really do love this place!

Great House by the Beach
We had a wonderful stay. This house is very close to the beach and a deli for breakfast and lunch. A short drive to restaurants and the grocery store. The house felt like a home not a vacation rental. Our son loved the bunk beds.
