Aptos Ocean / Bayview Cottage near beaches. Pets & parking. Walkable to beach
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (6)
"This is a lovely little cottage. One bedroom, very loved hide a bed in the living area. It’s clean and well appointed, and best of all they allow us to have our golden retriever stay. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach. Just a short little drive. Our dog got to run off leash at the beach, and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Manual’s Mexican restaurant, The price was very reasonable. We hope to be back."

Jaw-Dropping Beach-Front Retreat!
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (64)
"From the moment we stepped inside this cozy beach front home, we were captivated by the breathtaking view of the beach and ocean. As we ventured upstairs, the view only became more spectacular. It was the perfect setting for our family of 10, providing ample space and all the amenities we could ask for. The location is only a short walk to the deli, restaurants and coffee shop which was nice. But what truly made our stay unforgettable were the moments we spent on the back patio. We were...

Short Walk to Seacliff
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (27)
"The home is in a nice location with easy access to most things. The furnishings were nice and the beds comfortable. The home itself could have been better cleaned. Additionally, there was no bar soap, shampoo or coffee. Upon rereading the listing, I realized they were not listed in the amenities, so that’s on me. I’ve just never stayed where these (at least soap & shampoo) wasn’t provided. One last mention is if you are getting to the house by gps be sure to note if it is street or road. We...

Beach home just a few steps away from Rio Del Mar Beach!
8.4 out of 10, Very Good, (31)
"The house is nice and quirky. However finding the entrance and opening of the sliding door was challenging. It is pity that the nice big terrace is not adjacent to the living room and we couldn’t use the balcony by the kitchen due to the overgrowth of the giant ferns 😅"

"Really loved the property and it was super clean and well appointed and lovely access to the beach. The host was very communicative and responsive as well. Found it to be a bit remote from services that we wanted to access (golf, fishing, etc), but no fault of the host in that, I think more that I failed to research the distance to Monterey and Pacific Grove."
