Great location!
Amazing views; complete panoramic of the entire Monterey Bay! Nice, quiet neighborhood. Great to have deli & small market at the bottom of the hill. Also nice to have free parking lot at the bottom of the hill; the walk down to the beach isn't bad, but when wanting to spend the day on the beach with chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc., it was convenient to just be able to drive down with all our stuff & unload it right there near the sand. Property management is extremely communicative and responsive. Only reason for giving 4 and not 5 stars is that while the condo is nice, it's a bit lacking in amenities (e.g.- no bathroom floor mats; had to use one of very few towels provided on the floor so as not to slip getting out of the shower; and, while the neighborhood is quiet overall, there was constant maintenance going on in the complex, making it noisy, hard to have windows open for fresh air & sleeping in.) Nothing major or "bad," per se; nothing that would keep me from booking here again if we wanted to stay in the same area again.

View of Waves and Sunsets!
Overall, a great stay. Fun to watch kids on the beach, or just the waves, even if you stay on the balcony. Unit is all one level, no stairs from parking. (There is one level of units below.) Beds were older but okay. A steep sidewalk down to beach level (5-10 min). Good sandwiches at the deli there. Restaurants a few minutes drive away. Capitola and Santa Cruz not far, but beware of work commute times on Hwy 1. It got unusually hot our last days (early Oct.) without an ocean breeze, but we found a fan in a living room closet. We didn't really cook, but there are extra pots/pans in the hall closet (& step stool). Coin laundry (quarters only) was helpful, but I had to ask a resident where it was. Wish they had mentioned that in listing info. (Go down farthest stairs to the left when looking at the building. Laundry is just before pool gate.) Units and parking spots are marked, but not all in alphabetical order. You'll figure it out.

Great View
The property was clean and comfortable. The balcony has a great view of the ocean and beach. It is a little hike downhill to the beach and uphill back to the condo. Great if you want a little exercise. Loved walking down to the small cafe for coffee in the morning. Overall, good experience.

Quick Getaway Trip.
Nice place to stay and get away. The view is beautiful. The only recommendation is that the kitchen items need to be upgraded and checked for cleanliness after each visit. Many items had to be washed before we could use them. Also, note there is no washer and dryer in unit. Being so close to the beach It would have been nice.

Great view but remote beach access.
We enjoyed staying here with our 9-year-old grandson for one of his three weeks of fall break. Some pluses include the spectacular view, newer and comfortable furniture, a glass wall of expensive soundproof heavy sliders, multiple sets of dishes/glasses/silver/cookware, big tv, gas fireplace, inside cleanliness, convenient unloading convenience, one assigned parking space on same level (some units are down a flight of stairs), fresh air flow - overall, just a feeling that owners care long-term. . Now the negatives: unit is third level up from the beach so we parked beachside a block downhill in a mini-mall. which was easy off-season with a handicap placard but would be nearly impossible with summer crowds. This is a second story in first of two separate buildings, sits on a high bluff above a street with another row of one-story condos below and directly beachside, so access is confusing and not explained in the repetitive and vast information provided.. There was also no explanation of the parking or how to find it (not obvious!) which is off-street in between multiple properties with NO on-street signage. Fortunately our daughter and hubby arrived earlier then we did, found on street parking (a miracle!) and scouted this out. The lack of outside cleanliness was a major disappointment. The balcony was completely unusable due to layer of mildew on the flat wood rail and flooring. The neighboring balconies are a mix of clean vs not, so it is possible to maintain clean surfaces. The front door lock also has layer of mildew atop it - not welcoming and all inexcusable. Beach access on foot would take at least 20 minutes up/down a steep hill. We were lucky to find beach-level parking as our grandson loved hitting the beach daily, even though water was very cold and days were windy (dress accordingly!). DR table overhead fixture either missing bulbs or needs an update, and sadly only one of four possible barstools are supplied. A strange contrast with the expensive windows, sliders, furniture, carpet and tile throughout. I hope this review helps you decide whether this is the right place for your precious vacation dollars. We had a great time but this may be better-suited for the view and relative quiet, not for easy beach access with young kids.

Great beach view & sound
A short walk to Rio Del Mar beach and exceptional views from the condo & balcony of this Aptos location made for the perfect 5 day getaway for the 4 of us. The Rio Del Mar market at the bottom of the street is a great bodega for all the stuff you forgot. Comfortable & clean, well-equipped, responsive management rounded out this package. The sounds of the ocean made for a relaxing and constant soundtrack for this trip.

Awesome View and Location
Stunning view from all glass ocean view wall with deck. Great location on long public beach. Restaurants walking distance. Grocery nearby. Property is older but well maintained and furnished. Property management firm makes you drive to next town to pick up keys and then return them when leaving. There was one small bar of soap for two bathrooms, so bring your own soap, shampoo, etc. Played phone tag with management firm about signing contract.
