Top Potbelly Beach Hotel Reviews

Charming, Sunny Home!

10/10 Excellent

"This is one of our favorite places to stay in Aptos. The reverse floorplan gives you an open sunny kitchen/living room area and deck. Kitchen is very well stocked with cookware and everything you need to entertain. Downstairs bedrooms (2 adult rooms, one kid room) are roomy and comfortable with nice closets. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors friendly. We love this house. Our dog loved the deck. The beach! The beach stairs are very close and you are walking on the beach in moments. This year we saw whales in addition to dolphins and otters. Favorite places: Marianne's Ice Cream just a block away. Ambrosia Indian a few blocks away. We're addicted to Castelli's sandwiches. And, of course, Gayle's Bakery in Capitola."
