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!

The house was great, clean, comfortable for 4 adults, equipped with everything you would need. And just a very short walk to the beach, with great ocean views from the deck. Had some beautiful sunsets. Had fun exploring the area: farmers market, Nisene Mark Park, Capitola, and many beach walks. We hope to return sometime soon! ##### Debra A.

Sep 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a very nice stay at this home. The decor is a little quirky, but it's a beautiful home, very clean, and the layout is great. The bedrooms are downstairs and each have their own bathroom. From upstairs, you can see the beach and across the bay to Santa Cruz. You can always find something to do - from shopping at the Farmer's Market, to horseback riding, to wine tasting (we went to David Bruce Winery), to walking on the shoreline and just "beaching it". A very cozy place to relax. ##### Laura C. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juan S.

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. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Neisha F. Aug 4, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Beautiful location and loved the interior vibe, but everything was really old. I felt dirty sitting on the sofa, the bed covers had stains all over them, the outside area was really gross and that is where we wanted to spend our time. The table is cracked with mold and moss growing in it, the lighting tube had black mold growing in it and hanging in the corner with no where to prop it up. I tripped over it a couple times. Major hazard. The umbrella they have out there is broken and the chairs were covered in cob webs. Great location, but we would not stay here again. ##### Neisha F.

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 #### Siri N. Jul 25, 2018 #### beautiful space, and terrific location!

The place was very close to the beach. The only drawback was that the property was located on a very steep hill. There's a nice restaurant and store at the bottom of the hill which is convenient. ##### DEBRA W.
