Enjoy a cozy living room, fully stocked kitchen, and a private balcony with outdoor seating—perfect for oceanfront sunsets, morning coffee, and relaxing coastal vibes. Just a short 4 minute walk to the beach, local restaurants, coffee shops, and more! Enjoy the complex’s shared pool (heated from Memorial Day to Labor Day). The Space: \- Comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests \- 2 bedrooms - 2 King beds \- 2 bathrooms \- There is one reserved parking spot in the lot near the house. There is also free street parking available, but please keep in mind a spot may be hard to come by during the busy months. \- Fully stocked kitchen w/ drip coffee maker \- Living room \- Balcony Note: \- No gatherings or parties allowed (strictly enforced) \- The exterior of this home is monitored by 24/7 surveillance recording devices for safety. \- Smart TVs with streaming capabilities. \- NO PETS Guest Access: Guests will have access to the entire home, except for a closet that is reserved for owner's storage. The Neighborhood: Aptos is a coastal gem nestled in Santa Cruz County. With its stunning beaches, including Rio del Mar and Seacliff State Beach, it's a haven for sun-seekers and surf enthusiasts. This charming town boasts a laid-back vibe, a mix of boutique shops, and a vibrant dining scene, making it a perfect destination for a relaxing vacation. The iconic Cement Ship at Seacliff Beach is a must-see, and nearby forested parks like Nisene Marks offer hiking and biking trails. Aptos combines natural beauty, small-town charm, and easy access to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, creating an ideal coastal escape for visitors. This is not a good place for gatherings or parties so please keep that in mind when booking this home. We are very respectful of our neighbors and will not tolerate loud noise past curfew and additional guests at the property. Getting Around: \- Rio Del Mar Beach (5 minute walk) \- Venus Spirits Beachside, Venus Pie Trap, Pixie Deli, etc. (5 minute walk) \- Nearest grocery store (5 minute drive) \- The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park (5 minute drive) \- Capitola Village (10 minute drive) \- The Mystery Spot (15 minute drive) \- Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk + Main Beach (20 minute drive) \- Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park (25 minute drive) \- Monterey Bay Aquarium (45 minute drive) Other Things to Note: \- Please note that a hillside project on the hillside directly below the home is scheduled from May through October, and while we’re still awaiting full details, weekday construction noise is expected during the day. We’ve already discounted the price to reflect this, and while we can’t offer refunds due to noise, we’re happy to help you find a quieter home if needed. You have 24 hours after booking to cancel for a full refund. We hope you'll still enjoy the stunning views, ocean air, and everything beautiful Aptos has to offer. \- Because of the natural surroundings and HOA guidelines limiting routine pest control, you might occasionally see ants during your stay. We’ve placed traps around the home as a precaution, but if you notice them becoming a nuisance, just let us know — we’ll be happy to provide additional support during your stay! \- The share pool in the complex is comfortably heated (approx. 82-84 degrees) from Memorial Day through Labor Day, offering a refreshing swim in the warmer months. Outside of this period, it’s unheated, but still open for those who love a brisk dip! \- The exterior of this home is monitored by 24/7 surveillance recording devices for safety. \- We are required to stick to our cancellation policy and we suggest adding trip insurance for any last minute issues that may impact your travel (Weather, Illness, etc). We are not able to cancel, move or refund bookings that do not fall in our cancellation policy for any reason. Interaction with Guests: OVR is local in Santa Cruz and available for questions at any time! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 972 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110130000/110127600/110127512/03718360.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Modern Coastal Escape - walking distance to beach!
