Great time in Rio del Mar
We had a great stay just blocks from the beach. The property had a lovely and comfortable backyard with the listed hot tub. There were beach chairs, beach towels, boogie board and a wagon to take it all there. The only thing missing was a sun umbrella, but we had a great time anyway as the mornings were overcast. Overall a comfortable and fun stay!

Beach Get A Way with a relaxing Back Yard
We come to this area 1-2 times a year. This property is a great location, very clean, well equipped kitchen, loved the clean hot tub and the backyard. Instructions to operate fireplace were helpful & the hidden switch for backyard outside lighting(behind the Murphy Bed, a little tricky). Never found TV directions. Close to Rio Del Mar Beach (Walkable) and Aptos Village (by car). Only negative was the dog in front house (B) barked when we came and went. But that’s what they do~

Beach house in Aptos
The house has been remodeled. Appliances are great. Shower is great. Couches, not all that comfortable,. Needs new fresh towels in bath. I bought a spatula and prep knife. Needs updated kitchen sets….dishes, prep utensils, storage containers with lids. Great location…walk to the beach. Parking handy..

Elopement Getaway
Our group enjoyed our stay! The perfect place for 3 adults and a large dog. We had our elopement in the Redwoods and this place provided adequate space for all three of us to get ready. House was fully stocked with everything you'd need. Although we didn't need it, they had many items for children both inside the home and the backyard. Having a stress-free place to stay was highly appreciated for our event.

Perfect for our stay!!
The property is super clean and neatly decorated. Close to the beach and cafes in the beach area. We asked a couple of questions and the host Liz responded right away. No problems, just simple questions. We are planning on staying at this unit the next time we are in the Santa Cruz area. We have friends who live in Aptos and they are just 6 block away. Perfect for us.

Relaxing getaway
The perfect set up for me, my husband & our dog. Welcoming private bungalow in quiet neighborhood, spotlessly clean, spacious, full kitchen, fenced yard with large hot tub, just short walk to beach & eateries (didn't have to use our car at all). Overall comfortable & easy for an enjoyable, & much needed, respite during these stressful times. Thanks Liz!!
