Ocean View condo in Aptos, 1 block to Sand, 2BR\/2BA, Pool, Deck, Linens Incl'd
About this condo rental
Located in Rio Del Mar, this attractive condo for $310 per night is a great option for your next vacation. VISTA DELFINO is our treasured vacation spot with a dolphin view. We chose this spot on Monterey Bay for our own family gatherings. It is close enough to all the area's sights and conveniences, but quiet enough to make your trip a true getaway. Relax in your condo with a wall of windows overlooking the water. Hear the waves crash outside your door. A block from the sand, head out for a morning walk on the beach, enjoy boogie-boarding or a picnic. Watch the sea life from the deck, and from the open-plan living room, dining room and kitchen. Gather in the fully equipped kitchen to prepare all meals or only a few -- the choice is yours. Venus Restaurant, Pixie Deli and Venus Pie Trap (espresso drinks and pizza), just off the beach, are walkable locations for eating out. Many other restaurants, grocery stores, and shops are within a mile of the condo. Our informational guide (in the unit) lists places to eat, shop and sight-see. Located in the less crowded Rio Del Mar neighborhood of Aptos, this is your perfect base for visiting Santa Cruz (10 minutes away) and Monterey/Carmel (30-40 minutes away), as well as taking local nature hikes and having fun at the beach. Vista Delfino is equipped with special features that make us feel pampered and refreshed. We hope our guests will appreciate them, too. SLEEPS 4-6, Maximum 4 adults plus 2 children: Primary bedroom has a King bed with a foam and innerspring mattress (locally manufactured), and en suite bathroom with shower. Second bedroom has a Queen Sealy mattress with plush pillowtop. The second bathroom, with bath/shower combination, is off the hall. Two fold-out futons are available for sleeping in the living room, most comfortable for youngsters. LINENS: We supply all sheets, bath towels and beach towels for your stay, including thirsty, St. Moritz bath towels. FREE WIRELESS INTERNET and Extended basic cable. KITCHEN: Major appliances (see below), plus microwave, coffeemaker and cooking equipment. We provide cleansers and paper products. Help yourself to our collection of spices and condiments. DINING: Dine indoors with a water view (dining table seats 6), or more casually on the deck. Gas barbecue is on the deck. GARAGED PARKING: Two (2) dedicated parking spots (one behind the other) in the enclosed garage for small-medium-sized cars only. Garage is shared with the neighbor. Trucks or large family cars or vans, and SUV's must be parked on the street. POOL: The pool (shared among condo residents and guests) is open all year, but heated from May 1 to October 31 only. STAIRS/Accessibility: There are 6 stairs from a flat walkway along the building to the front door of the condo. Guests can be dropped off at one end of the building to minimize stairs. There are about 10 additional stairs from the garage (bottom level) to this walkway. Our location overlooking the bay means that the beach is downhill 500 steps, and an uphill walk to return to the condo. Those with mobility issues can be dropped off at the parking lot at the bottom of the hill to walk the path along the beach. CANCELLATION POLICY: "Relaxed," as follows: Travelers who cancel at least 14 days before check-in will get back 100% of the amount they've paid. If they cancel between 7 and 14 days before check-in, they'll get back 50%. Otherwise, they won't get a refund. Guests are expected to notify owner of cancellations asap. Guests cancelling late may receive credit for a stay at another time, at Owners' discretion. Our calendar is up-to-date. We aim to make your stay among your best vacations. NOTE: For stays shorter than the 4-night minimum during the summer, contact the Owner directly. There may be availability between other guests' stays.

We loved the property. I would definitely stay there again. Short walk to the beach and gorgeous beach view from kitchen and family area. Well stocked with beach toys. ☺️ I loved everything about the property.

By the looks of the picture you would think the beach is right in your backyard, it's not. The place was OK, inside but the neighborhood is a little run down. Overall decent place for the price.

Wonderful vacation!
We came to California for a short reunion with our son and his fiance and this apartment on the beach was very clean, cozy and comfortable. We loved the giant winows looking out on the ocean and felt completely relaxed. Nice beds and pillows were very appreciated! We loved the area with Capitola and Santa Cruz so close and Monterey and Carmel just a short drive away. We had a great time participating in the 4th of July activities in Aptos and watching all the fireworks on the beach!

Nice property! Very clean, comfortable and good instructions for staying there. We couldn’t find any paper towels or napkins and only one kitchen towel. Be sure to bring your own. We had a good time.

We have been going to Aptos for over 50 years and enjoyed this lovely, cozy condo with a view of the ocean and a five minute walk to the beach. Clean, well kept, well stocked and well organized, it was easy to relax and spend mornings watching the fog recede. Afternoons at the beach, sunset dinners, quiet nights. Thanks for a great stay.

So close to San Francisco, Big Sur, Santa Cruz and Monterey! We were able to visit all of these places, and then relax in this amazing condo every evening afterwards. The place is relaxing and has everything you would ever need- no need to pack for the beach because everything is there for you! I would highly recommend this condo. It's lovely.

We thoroughly enjoyed our four nights stay here with family. We are a family of four and had plenty of space. The layout and thought that has been given to detail really makes it feel like home. The kitchen is fully equipped and we had plenty of linens for our stay. The pool is a short walk from the condo. We enjoyed waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunset over the ocean. Great location as it is just steps away from the ocean.
The hosts were accommodating and were available for any questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit again.

Overall the whole family enjoyed our stay at your property. We enjoyed the deck and having a garage to park our car.
The only issue I’d like to mention is the noise level from the street when in the bedrooms with the windows open.
Thank you,
Elke

We enjoyed staying in this condo. It's conveniently located. We visited the beach, Roaring Camp Railroad, and The Monterey Bay Aquarium during our stay.
The house was set up nicely for cooking and socializing. The view of the ocean was great. There are some rules around plumbing and garbage we weren't expecting and was only slightly inconvenient.
The condo is located up a pretty steep incline from the beach. I definitely recommend not schlepping a lot to the beach or driving down instead of walking. There was plenty of parking during the week. The weekends were busier, to be expected, but if you make it down the road early there was still parking available down at the beach.

This condo is in such a great location! When we walked in, we couldn’t believe how clean it was. It was by far the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in! The ocean views and sounds were soothing and the condo itself was delightful. The garage was a wonderful bonus! We will definitely be staying here again!
