I took the kids and the pooch for a little vacation here and it was truly wonderful. The place was very clean and cute with new appliances and everything we needed. The beach and good places to eat were within walking distance, so we barely had to drive anywhere. The neighborhood was beautiful and the kids were so delighted. The manager was very warm and prompt with his communications. Would definitely stay here again!!!

Everything about this home is beautiful. Master bed was cozy. Updated features throughout. Perfect tub for a relaxing bubble bath. Cozy backyard space with lighting and a bin of stuff to take with you to the beach, which is such a short walk! The host was very friendly, easily reachable and helpful with all of my questions. I will be coming back, for sure!!

My family and I spent a great Thanksgiving here. The house is really cute, an older pink stucco cottage. The kitchens and bathrooms have been updated and are modern and lovely. The house is less than two blocks from the beach and walking distance to a small market, nice restaurant and really good coffee shop with great pie. The hosts were responsive and warm - I highly recommend this house for your next beach vacation.

We had a delightful stay at this vacation rental. The host was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. The house was true to the description and photos.. very cozy. The kitchen had everything you could need to cook up a nice meal, the backyard was a perfect area for our toddler to play, and the beds in the rooms were super comfortable. For those with young children, the host has a travel crib and high chair available for use. Most importantly, you absolutely cannot beat the location... a two minute walk to the beach! We have stayed in Santa Cruz many times, but this was our first visit to Aptos. As a family with two young children, we appreciated the quiet, sleepy beach town vibe. Rio Del Mar beach was clean and not overcrowded. We felt safe walking around the neighborhood with our little ones. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location and relaxing stay
