LUXURY RETREAT FOR COUPLES ~ 180 DEGREE OCEAN VIEWS OF MONTEREY BAY

If you are looking for WIDE OPEN OCEAN VIEWS, and peaceful relaxation... THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU.

This is a fully remodeled and tastefully updated 2 bedroom 2 bath condo, with 180 degree ocean views, and is just a couple of minutes walk to the beach. Rio Del Mar Beach is famous for the cement ship, Marianne's home-made ice cream and snack shop, great body surfing, the beach and golf. All of the things you need for that "PERFECT" GETAWAY. There are also restaurants and a deli with great and varied menu choices across from the beach.

PLEASE READY CAREFULLY:
The two bedrooms both have king sized beds with luxury bedding, large TVs and a full bath; the master bath is ensuite.

The kitchen will meet all your culinary needs, dishes, pots and pans, etc. There is a new
GE dishwasher, gas stove, refrigerator with ice maker, Keurig coffee maker and a Cuisinart coffee pot, etc.

USB plugs conveniently installed in kitchen, living room, bedrooms and bathrooms! New led overhead lighting making the condo light and bright.

There is a full-sized washer and dryer for your convenience. All linens/blankets/bath towels are provided. The living room has a new gas fireplace/surround and is perfect for those cool nights at the ocean. The living room TV (65 inch) is loaded with channels through Comcast and there is also Wifi. We have a propane barbeque for your use on our private patio. You will have use of our private association pool which is heated May-October.

The condo has one designated parking space and the street parking has no time limits.

There is a flight of STAIRS down to the condo, with handrails on both sides of hallway and low-rise steps.

We have exterior Ring video cameras at all doors for added safety, which are monitored constantly.

The town of Aptos is just minutes away with great shopping and plenty of restaurants. Rio del Mar beach is a 5 min walk to the beach, Santa Cruz Boardwalk is just 15 minutes away and Capitola is less than ten minutes from the condo. If you like antique shopping Soquel has some really nice shops (Wisteria is my favorite all around for home decor). Gayle's Bakery and Rosticeria in Capitola is a must to satisfy your sweet tooth! For the men there is golf at Seascape Golf Course while the ladies do some shopping.

Enjoy the cool ocean breeze from your private deck with a glass of wine and fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the seashore from your bedroom.

By virtue of your booking you agree to abide by our House Rules. There is ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING OF ANY KIND ON THE PREMISES. IT IS ONLY ALLOWED ON THE STREET SIDEWALK. THANK YOU .

CHECK IN IS 4:00 PM AND CHECK OUT IS 10:00AM. SORRY, DUE TO THE NUMBER OF RESERVATIONS I CANNOT DEVIATE FROM THIS. THANK YOU.

Nice touch with the fireplace and beautiful view, we have a big truck parking could have been a problem for the assigned space but worked out fine.

Would stay here again!!!!!
Unit is exactly as described and in photos! Very easy communication and the instructions for check-in/check-out are simple and clear. We had perfect weather, but we booked this unit for the view in case weather was not conducive for being outside a lot. Liked having designated parking spot as well. We'd be happy to rent this unit again.

Great view of the ocean !
Our stay at Sharon’s was excellent. Communication with her was fast and easy. She was able to accommodate changing dates for us due to travel plan issues. Her home is very clean. Excellent views of the ocean. Walking distance to local restaurants and a small shop.

Gorgeous view!
Pros: Stunning view Very nice living room Comfortable beds 2 bathrooms Cons: Only 2 kitchen towels & no rags Scratched Teflon skillets - not "luxory condo" pans Very strict on the rules about having people over for a meal. Need safety bars in showers. All these items are definitely fixable. Loved staying here!!

Clean, nice view
Original locals here and we chose to stay at this place for the view and closeness to the ocean. The place was very clean. Loved the open layout. The view is pretty awesome! The balcony didn’t have too much privacy since neighboring balcony’s were next door. We only had a short stay, but we’d definitely would rent again in the future. Cute place, can’t beat the sound of the ocean.

Relaxing
The condo was really relaxing, clean, cozy and well equipped with cooking utensils. I appreciated the condiments in the frig and the supply of coffee/tea. The living area was extremely cozy and fireplace heated up nicely. The views from the deck were amazing and listening to the ocean everyday was undoubtedly calming. A wonderful way to spend Christmas with my family.
