Feb 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Getaway Steps to the Beach Couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The hosts were top notch, the location was awesome and the beach house was cozy and comfortable! Bonus, games, books, beach gear, etc the place was fully stocked with extra touches by the hosts! I’d highly recommend! ##### Dawn M. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Seth S. Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, responsive host Winie was such a gracious and helpful host! We brought our two dogs to visit my wife's family in Aptos, and had a great stay. The space is lovely and in an absolutely fantastic location just a short walk from the beach in Rio. Despite being so close to the beach (as well as Pixie's Deli and Venus), the neighborhood itself is very quiet at night. We're so happy to know that we have somewhere to stay the next time we want to bring our dogs to Aptos! ##### Seth S. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michele S. Mar 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Close to beach, good food nearby This location is very close (0.2miles) from the beach and a couple restaurants (we recommend Venus, which has a dog friendly patio). We were able to drive around town to a couple other places as well. The property was clean and exactly as described. The property owner checked in with us to make sure everything was going alright and we didn't need anything. Overall a very peaceful and fun experience. We would recommend this place to others. ##### Michele S. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy L. Mar 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy comfort with easy access to beach and food. Clean and comfortable with a bonus loft! Winnie has thought of everything in the well stocked kitchen and even a bed and chew toy for the dog to enjoy! We felt so welcome here! The beds were comfortable , bathroom gorgeous, and fireplace heaters a cozy touch! The house is tucked into an amazingly quiet street next to a busy beach park. You can plan to cook or not, as there’s a nice restaurant, coffee and a convenience store nearby. No need to take the car anywhere! We took long walks in both directions down the beach and found nearly empty beaches. The water and waves are beautiful at Rio Del Mar! Sunsets a bonus! We would love to return to this spot - it’s a real find! ##### Nancy L.
