Luxurious, Spacious, Great Views, Minutes to Ocean

Gorgeous, super clean, and extremely well located home located in the best neighborhood in Seacliff.

The spectacular kitchen and dining space is the heart of the home. The huge granite kitchen island will be your perfect gathering place for coffee and cocktails and everything in between. Gather together under the crystal chandeliers, cook a great meal on the Italian stove and take in the views of the beautiful oak trees in the backyard. Or bring in something delicious from the many great restaurants just minutes away.

The open and spacious floor plan connects the kitchen, dining island, and family room so that everyone can be together but not crowded.

There is even a little quite sitting area upstairs for anyone looking to enjoy a quite cup of coffee or a romantic glass of wine while overlooking the ocean.

Downstairs features two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, beautifully remodeled with solid hardwood floors, quality furnishings, and lots of sparkle.

Upstairs you'll find two more rooms and a additional full bath. The windows and skylights create a sunny and joyful space and the view of the oak trees creates a bright tree-house feeling. There is even an ocean view!

The backyard has a great deck and lots of room to relax. Grill something tasty or just sit and take in the fresh ocean air.

Four minute walk to the ocean cliffs. Sit on a bench, watch the sunset, enjoy whales breaching and birds and dolphins playing. Another five minutes and your toes can be in the sand at Seacliff State Beach, Rio Del Mar, right at the famous cement ship.

This is a perfect quiet home just waiting for you to make great beach memories. Please keep in mind, this is not a home for parties or noisy celebrations. In respect of our neighbors and our very quiet neighborhood, no amplified music outside, no noisy games outside, no heavy drinking, etc.. There are great places for that type of fun, our home is not that place. Fireworks are explicitly forbidden in the County of Santa Cruz. Guests who create a disturbance for our neighbors, have extra guests or bring pets will be asked to leave without a refund.

Solid choice- listing oversold the place a bit
Family vacation with my family (two very young kids) and my sister’s family (two school aged kids) to the Santa Cruz area. Clean, good location, easy access to everything in Aptos. Hosts were very kind and responsive. Photos make place look more spacious/luxurious then we felt it ended up being. Kitchen cook ware could be better-limited options& quality. Did not feel like the dining table (center kitchen island) was great for smaller kids but we managed. Probably a better place for adults only. Be aware: no laundry/drying technically included in the rental! Host unlocked laundry room during our stay and allowed us to use (we were there 5 nights with kids) which was very kind but I was surprised it wasn’t included.
