The location was great and beach despite being a holiday weekend wasn't too over crowded. I looked forward to walking to grab a coffee and strolling by the beach every morning. The house was comfortable and very well stocked with all the things we needed. Many rentals didn't include beach towels and this place had towels and more!

Joan was so thoughtful, my husband and I went to celebrate our 40th anniversary and she had a cake waiting for us. Whimsical, peaceful home that felt like being in a tree house as the top of the beautiful oak trees is the side view, front is the ocean. Easy walk to the beach, and much quieter and peaceful than staying on the beach. Restful, great location, we will be back!! ##### Rosemary M.

The weather was beautiful, the beach was empty and the house was cute and comfy. Joan was extremely welcoming and made us feel right at home. Would recommend her place to all. The rental experience was easy, Joan was most accomodating and being in Aptos was just the right "taking-it-easy cure." Thanks so much for the hospitality and we look forward to using your place again soon! ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen S. Jun 7, 2018 #### Perfect getaway Thank you Joan for sharing your lovely home. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Bali by the beach is a home with everything you could possibly need. The views and short walk to the beach can not be beat! We will definitely be back. Thank you also for the yummy birthday cake you left for my husband. See you soon! ##### Kathleen S.

Your home was ready for us with homemade cookies and yummy cherries. We felt right at home and was so comfortable. The view of the beach from the patio is gorgeous and it was a nice quick walk down the hill. The road noise is a little loud during the day but at night it's completely quiet. We will come again for sure!! ##### Ann F. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ted B.

The house was in excellent condition and the views of the ocean and Santa Cruz were outstanding. The house is equipped with everything needed for a wonderful vacation whether you decide to cook at home or go out to the many wonderful restaurants nearby. My son was able to work on line in a beautiful setting overlooking the ocean while my wife and I were taking long strolls along the ocean. I highly recommend this property and hope to come back soon. ##### Ted B. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vit Y.

The house is as close to the beach as it can be, great view of the ocean (and backyard, too). Everything is in style, clean and well maintained. Kudos to Joan (the owner)! Excellent communication and execution - from the first to the last day. Thanks Joan for making our stay such a pleasant experience! ##### Vit Y.

We truly enjoyed our stay. Could have used a "real"coffee maker instead of the drip. Also, a nice gas grill instead of the tiny hibatchi would be a plus. Beds were extremely comfortable and we had no problem falling asleep. The waves are beautiful music to fall asleep to. Joan is a very inviting host and very easy to work with. Thank you. ##### Lu M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 11, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good find Great location and accommodations were spacious and well appointed. Generally, I was impressed with the attention to detail. One small nit; paper products were lacking. No Kleenexes or napkins and very few paper towels. Given the attention to everything else, I suspect this was an oversight. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### nukNSANjlKPSsXUf+McrV4wUCqqUY9qqRgEIA4XYJ8xzRENg2m/+r1ieq66V9VAZQFh4AF+RxjhX/TS53G7hw28ZnXUciEfjpB10 n. Jul 28, 2011 #### Fabulous Place What can I say? This was one of the very best vacations I have ever had. We (my family) absolutely loved the home and I say home because that's how it felt. From the pictures, to the figurines, fantastic stereo system, plates on the wall, furnishings, view, deck, comfy beds, etc.-just a wonderful cozy home! My husband and I even danced to the music of the 70's in the family room! And it's a close walk to the beach and has ample parking which is a super plus! We loved it so much that we didn't want to leave so I called Joan to see if we could stay an extra night and she was gracious enough to say sure! She is a wonderful host and has great taste in decorating. We are already planning on going back as soon as we can. Simply a wonderful place to stay!!! ##### nukNSANjlKPSsXUf+McrV4wUCqqUY9qqRgEIA4XYJ8xzRENg2m/+r1ieq66V9VAZQFh4AF+RxjhX/TS53G7hw28ZnXUciEfjpB10 n.

We have booked many VRBO houses/flats before and have never been let down. This time we were amazed at how beautiful Bali by the Beach was. The decor was unique - no hotel plastic with bad prints here - the amenities were excellent - from spices in the kitchen to shea butter soap in the bathrooms and everything was very, very clean. The kitchen/diningroom/livingroom space was perfect for cooking and meals and relaxation. It was wonderful to be able to walk on the beach in the morning and then sit on the deck in the evening and watch the bonfires down below. Travel to our family events and to Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur was easy by using highway #1. All the services were also close by. Joan was a most gracious host, meeting us when we arrived and providing us with lots of useful information. Also prior to our arrival Joan answered lots of questions by email in a very timely manner. Our deposit was returned quickly after our departure. Overall an excellent home and experience!! ##### Joni A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### M H.

Great communication with mgr. Table on balcony needs repair, umbrella also needs a better stand but still ok.

Great location, with many amenities and an ocean view. I stayed here with my sister, my 84-year-old mother and her 83-year-old girlfriend. It was a good thing that they are both short petite women as the bed in one of the bedrooms is up against the wall and has an ornate wood frame on three of the sides, similar to a toddler bed making it impossible for a tall person to sleep in. Unfortunately, these older ladies had to get up frequently throughout the night and my mom had to crawl over her friend to get out of bed. I would stay here again if the bed was changed, making it truly possible for four adults (regardless of height) to stay. ##### Colleen S.

But I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful and interesting decor in this home, full of interesting fun-to-look-at and artistic things. We had one problem, in that we couldn't find the thermostat the night we arrived, and the property manager wasn't able to help us until we discovered it ourselves in the light of the following morning. (We thought the thermostat in the bedroom just wasn't working, not realizing that there was a working thermostat in the darkened hall between the rooms). So it might be good to describe this more clearly! But the beds were very comfortable, and we were generally very pleased to be in this home once we got the heat to work! ##### Sandra L.

The entire house was spotless. The provisions are very thoughtful and generous -- plenty of towels, kitchen ware for every need, etc. A real gem. ##### Julie H.

Great property management, there was an appliance issue and the management phoned us prior to arrival to notify and already had repair scheduled. Kitchen had plenty of dishes and glasses. Appliances all nice and modern. Safeway is very close for a grocery run. We walked down to the beach easily. I recommend this property and would not hesitate to reserve it again. I am grateful we had the opportunity to experience it. Suggestion to owner: The front of house bedroom is really large and the bed is up against wall so it's awkward to get in and out if two are using the bed. Reconfigure the furniture layout in that space and consider adding a second smaller bed in there. ##### Alison L. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022
