Top Rio Del Mar Beach Hotel Reviews

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel wth excellent restaurant and bar and helpful staff. Main complaint was fire alarm test going off early in the morning for two consecutive days. Also hotel not within easy walking distance of beach."

Rio Sands Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"This review is based on the fact it's basic hotel with a fantastic beach location for people who like quiet sleepy beach location. This is not where the exciting stuff is. I had a balcony with a sea view down the street. Nice bright, clean, pool, hot tub clean, facility is quiet. However you will get street noise if you have a balcony sea view but not if you are in other rooms. I didn't mind it as I also got the nice afternoon light. The traffic dies down around 10 pm.The rooms do have thin walls, I could hear the guests in the next room. It It was all quiet guests when I was here. No coffee maker or coffee in lobby"

Charming single-story home steps from the beach.

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful home with a great host. The location to the beach was fantastic. Perfect little beach house for my family. Can’t wait to return."

1960's Rio Del Mar Beach House - Stunning Views!

10/10 Excellent

"This place was more than one could hope for. You never really know what you are going to get when booking a place online. Pictures does not do this place justice. My family (of 4) chose this place due to the proximity of the beach location. It did not disappoint. The beach was right across the street. Every day we would wake up and go out to outside upper deck and watch the sea lions and dolphins while eating our breakfast. This house came with a canopy tent to sit under on the beach, beach chairs, and a wagon to carry it all over to the beach. The beach was not only maybe 50ft away from the front door, but was in the middle of two busy beach spots, so you had it pretty much to yourself. We could not believe how relaxing it was, not over crowded and full of "sea life". Bonus that it had a rinse off shower outside."

Rio del Mar Paradise with sweeping oceanviews!

10/10 Excellent

"Great property with an unbelievable view!"

1950's Beachfront Home - Stunning Views!

8/10 Good

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very nice relaxing stay at this place. Easy walk to the beach. We opened the windows and had a nice sea breeze and the sound of crashing waves. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The host was very responsive. We will stay here again"

Beachfront Rio Del Mar Home - 5 bedrooms!

8/10 Good

"Overpriced. Accommodations were good but not excellent. Although the main shower was inoperable, the property manager arranged for its repair. The owner needs to come up with a better plan for parking."

Rio Del Mar Aptos-two blocks to the Sand, Ocean, Store, Restaurant, Coffee shop

10/10 Excellent

"The property and location was excellent. Great communication with hosts. We had a wonderful stay walking distance to the beach. Thanks so much"
