One of our party has mobility problems, so we gave him and his wife the master suite while the two of us took the downstairs bedroom, bathroom and study. The kitchen was very well equipped, and we were able to cook meals without having to buy any extra kitchen gear, or sauces and spices, for that matter. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, about 3miles from Capitola and 10 from Santa Cruz, and has a good supermarket withing a five minute drive. Also two good restaurants, Sanderlings at the Seascape Resort, and Palapas, a Mexican restaurant, across the street from the Seascape. Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will return at some point... ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Selina D.

This was a great central location for anything we wanted to do. The house was super clean, had everything we could have needed, and the swim spa was an awesome way to unwind after busy, fun-filled days. Thanks for the fun family memories! ##### Haley R.

He has a spectacular view from the moment you step into his home and the place was spotless! His kitchen is stocked with everything you need for cooking, including oils, spices, etc. He even has foil, Ziploc baggies, and all those extras that other properties sometimes lack. His appliances are top of the line, too! We enjoyed opening up the sliding glass door in the dining/living room area, to enjoy the nice breeze. The showers had wonderful pressure, the furniture and beds were all comfortable, and having the swim spa was such an added bonus! Michael is a man after my own heart, with having everything labeled and clearly organized to make it easy to know where things are located and how he would like things left when it was time to check-out. He truly cares about his home and wants his guests to care also, which is admirable. Talking with him on the phone was pleasant and he was so informative about a very lovely beach that was just down the hill from his home. My sister, kids, and I had the most wonderful beach day at this beach and it seriously only took us 3 minutes to get there in our car from his driveway! We would definitely stay at Michael's lovely home again! ##### Kandice C.

The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with both pantry items, condiments and small appliances. The owner’s directions were very clear, and the swim spa (think Michael Phelps) was pretty fun. (I wish I’d brought a kick board!) ##### Susannah R. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelly M.

We were so comfortable seeing how clean, well cared for, and nicely appointed Michael’s Aptos home is. Michael is a generous and thoughtful host as well. We had a wonderful stay! ##### Shelly M.
