Nice place, clean, well located. Master bedroom was great, roomy, and that bath was nice. The 2nd full bedroom was also roomy. Both were great for adults. The bunk bedroom was so-so for two adults but perfect for two kids. The upstairs kitchen had plenty counter space. The Dining area was great for 8! The couch/chair area was great for hanging out. The deck was huge and also had a nice sunny day bed and round table seating for outdoor dinner. The hood was nice and neighbors were friendly. The location was quite convenient, just about a 1/3 mile walk down to Seacliff St Beach. The shops at the four corners State Park Dr & Center were super. The Snow White, Marianne's Ice Cream!!, Manuel's Mexican had some great grub and their Top Shelf Margs were tasty! Bailey's Property Mgmt were excellent to work with. Aptos was super nice and we will return.

Charming Sunny Home

We had a great stay. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking - every pot, pan and utensil you might need. The sunny, bright kitchen and living room are upstairs and three bedrooms downstairs. Very close to the steps to the beach and we enjoyed long walks. Great location. When emailing ahead of time the property management was very responsive. We’d stay again!!

A++++ PERFECT BEACH GETAWAY!!!

This house was beautiful & SO full of sunlight streaming through the windows & all the rooms including bathrooms, were sparkling clean! This house is WELL taken care of & it shows! We loved all the bedrooms downstairs & having the "tv room" with a cozy & comfy couch with the gas fireplace turned on, watching the playoffs was wonderful & so relaxing! They supplied everything one would need for a getaway & we will DEFINITELY be returning!!

Week by the beach

Nice enough. Upstairs deck with a view of the ocean. Confusing check-in process (management company emailed instructions 3 months before our stay, right after first payment - challenging to figure out how to get the key.) Kitchen was sufficient, beds ok. Nice the nicest place we’ve ever stayed at but was the right price point for a 7-day stay in the Santa Cruz area. Neighborhood & local shops were fantastic!

Wonderful trip

This home is so cute and located in a really quaint and conveniently located neighborhood. The only few things that I would have liked to be aware of in advance is that there is only one TV, not a big deal to me, but my husband does enjoy some TV in the evening. The other thing, is the WiFi was really weak, I did have to work a little bit on this trip, which was a little harder without good internet access. Overall this was a lovely trip and getaway spot, would 100 percent recommend.

Dissatisfied

To our surprise it did not look like it showed on the pictures. The bed topper was stained and worn. There were ants in both bathrooms on the first floor and the bedrooms. Our son was taking a shower and we heard a noise coming from the garage and it was the water heater, it sounded like it was going to explode . The garage had paints cans and miscellaneous “items just laying around. The garbage can was full to the point we brought our trash home. The back yard just basically dirt and weeds. There was no contact from the property management on a daily bases as stated. The dish washer needs some help. The barbecue was dirty to the point that we did not use it and falling apart. In our opinion there should be a TV upstairs. For the price we expect more. The amenities is the garage are old and dirty.

Sea Cottage in Nice Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sweet, humble little cottage in a quiet neighborhood. Four bedrooms (one is a TV room) 2.5 baths was fine for a family of three. Well-maintained, clean and good instructions. Dog friendly was essential. Nice balcony for relaxing with a peak at the sea and very close to the beach gate. Worked out well for visiting family in Aptos and taking care of business we needed to accomplish in the area.

Perfect Staycation!

The stay was what we all needed after working and dealing with stress in our lives. Listening to the ocean while at the house, enjoying the ocean breeze, and the peaceful neighborhood was perfect. The walk to the beach is close and easy, I have two little ones that did the stairs after being at the beach all day and didn't complain about how much further so I know it is not that bad, lol. All in all, it was a great trip and thank you very much.

So many rules! Almost ruined the stay

Close to the beach and loved hearing the sounds of the waves. House had a casual and comfortable vibe. Aptos is a peaceful, sleepy town and my adult daughters and I enjoyed the getaway weekend. On the negative side, the check in/out process was not simple. A lengthy contract with multiple reminders that “CHECK OUT IS10:00! NO EXCEPTIONS!” I get it, but I did NOT need a phone reminder the day before we left (two night stay) that CHECKOUT IS 10:00 AND NO EXCEPTIONS!
