Great vacation getaway
The rental is amazing. All the great amenities in rental and then some. Great ocean view. Centrally located so you are just a couple of miles from Capitola and Santa Cruz. Sea Cliff beach is beautiful. The communication with the owner was great. He made everything so easy and welcoming. We will definitely be returning for another vacation stay.

This was our second stay at this property and we will definitely be going back on a yearly basis!
This property is one of a kind that I believe everybody should experience at one point during their adventures in this beautiful state of California! My family and I love the kitchen and how well stocked everything is and it makes cooking together as a family of very enjoyable experience! The grounds put this property above and beyond any others! The swim spa is so therapeutic and relaxing at the end of the day that my brother and sister-in-law are planning to purchase one now!

Lovely house, enjoyable stay
This house in Aptos was just the right size and configuration for the four of us, with a master bedroom and the living areas all on one floor. One of our party has mobility problems, so we gave him and his wife the master suite while the two of us took the downstairs bedroom, bathroom and study. The kitchen was very well equipped, and we were able to cook meals without having to buy any extra kitchen gear, or sauces and spices, for that matter. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, about 3miles from Capitola and 10 from Santa Cruz, and has a good supermarket withing a five minute drive. Also two good restaurants, Sanderlings at the Seascape Resort, and Palapas, a Mexican restaurant, across the street from the Seascape. Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will return at some point...
