Can’t say enough about this place. It was amazing. The kitchen is fully stocked and the loft was a really fun place for the kiddos. Located in the heart of a beautifully landscaped are right next to the beach. Couldn’t ask for more.

I needed a larger space to celebrate Christmas with my adult daughters and their partners. The space worked out nicely. The kitchen had the necessary accouterments to pull it all together. Location was perfect for an afternoon walk to the beach. Both fireplaces kept us warm and added a special ambiance. I had one challenging moment getting the TV to function, I reached out to Jules and Teresa. The issue was resolved promptly via quick response. Thank you!

Perfect beach getaway. Close to everything, host was very communicative and friendly. Our dogs loved it too.

The location was great with a short walk to the beach. The apartment was on the small side. The living space was nice with 2 reclining chairs right in front of the TV. The kitchen was well stocked with pot and pans, plates, glasses etc. It is also stocked with Peet’s coffee which is our favorite. Only thing missing was a dishwasher. The bedroom was small, but the bed was comfortable with top notch linens and pillows. We brought our dogs with us and they settled in quite well. Just be aware that there is no yard access if you choose to bring your dogs. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

The Aptos townhouse is a great spot for two adults and perhaps one little kid or a couple little kids. Our 6'2" son had a little trouble with the loft, the bed was a bit short and the ceiling a bit low. The linens and towels were top notch.
The pillows were abundant which has not been our experience with other rentals on VRBO There are a lot of Pros with the location, amenities and the ease of getting in and out. We were a little surprised that the kitchen did not have a dishwasher as in the description claimed to have "everything" you needed in the kitchen. There really is not a place to eat as a family, but the tv trays were a great addition and it was fun watching a movie while we ate take out. We really enjoyed the restaurants in the area, Perry's Deli and Venus Distillery. All in all it was a nice get away.

We loved staying at this beach bungalow two blocks from the ocean. We could hear the ocean from here! The dogs immediately felt at home and we had everything we needed for our stay. I highly recommend this place. Great hosts too!

We had a great experience— the rental has a great location, amenities and details were accurately described, and communication with our hosts was easy. It was our first time renting a shared property (ie host has a residence on-site), and we were a little nervous as bona-fide introverts— but we didn’t need to be, the setup feels neighborly, private, and respectful. The kitchen was one of the most thought-out kitchens we’ve ever experienced, it’s small but has everything. There were also lots of thoughtful details for families traveling with children (toys, beach gear, etc.). We would emphasize that the stairs up to the unit are a full floor; the stairs would be a no for those with mobility concerns and anyone with very heavy luggage. That said, the view once you’re up the stairs is worth it. Also, the hosts were fabulous.

We would stay here again. Short 2 block walk to the beach. Corner store and excellent sandwich shop one block away. The apartment is on the second floor with 17 steps. The apartment is very comfortable and has a nice kitchen with everything you may need. We use the outside BBQ grill for hot dogs. Our dogs loved it. Highly recommend this rental. The hosts were spot on and quickly responded to our questions.
5.0
This is a wonderful apartment. The owners have been very thoughtful providing everything one needs. The kitchen is well designed and has a full size range.
The bedroom was comfy with plenty of cross breeze via a sliding door and side window.
Bathroom is roomy with all new vanity and double sinks!
Living area bosts well designed space. 2 recliners a sofa and charming electric fireplace. There is a loft which we didn’t use but welcomes a third adult or child.
The best part is the creative display of art and whimsical artifacts.
Neighborhood quiet and literally 5 minutes walk to rio Del mar beach!!
We will return!

Quaint one bedroom with a loft
The unit was perfect for 2 adults and 1 child. The unit felt like a converted 2nd floor bedroom/bathroom were added to an above garage apartment with a loft. The loft was was great for a child. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies, with the bathroom and kitchen being newly remodeled. The location was a short easy walk to the beach. The downstairs of the house was occupied, and the accompanying noises filtered into the rental; nothing intrusive but definitely a constant reminder that someone was living downstairs. Overall, we had a wonderful stay.

Beautiful
This was our first time using a rental. It was more than we expected! Had everything we needed and more. It was a very short walk to the beach. Short driving distance from Capitola and Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Quiet, relaxing and peaceful!
