Felt vey clean and safe. Comfy beds and the home was beautifully redone. The back deck feels private even though the other gouses are fairly close. ##### Kathy Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaime W. Aug 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ideal location We had a delightful stay at this vacation rental. The host was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. The house was true to the description and photos.. very cozy. The kitchen had everything you could need to cook up a nice meal, the backyard was a perfect area for our toddler to play, and the beds in the rooms were super comfortable. For those with young children, the host has a travel crib and high chair available for use. Most importantly, you absolutely cannot beat the location... a two minute walk to the beach! We have stayed in Santa Cruz many times, but this was our first visit to Aptos. As a family with two young children, we appreciated the quiet, sleepy beach town vibe. Rio Del Mar beach was clean and not overcrowded. We felt safe walking around the neighborhood with our little ones. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Jaime W.
