The Neighborhood: Aptos is a coastal gem nestled in Santa Cruz County. With its stunning beaches, including Rio del Mar and Seacliff State Beach, it's a haven for sun-seekers and surf enthusiasts. This charming town boasts a laid-back vibe, a mix of boutique shops, and a vibrant dining scene, making it a perfect destination for a relaxing vacation. The iconic Cement Ship at Seacliff Beach is a must-see, and nearby forested parks like Nisene Marks offer hiking and biking trails. Aptos combines natural beauty, small-town charm, and easy access to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, creating an ideal coastal escape for visitors. This is not a good place for gatherings or parties so please keep that in mind when booking this home. We are very respectful of our neighbors and will not tolerate loud noise past curfew and additional guests at the property.

We’ve placed traps around the home as a precaution, but if you notice them becoming a nuisance, just let us know — we’ll be happy to provide additional support during your stay! \- There is a spiral staircase to get upstairs in the house. Please keep this in mind if you're visiting with little ones, as there are no baby gates installed. \- The share pool in the complex is comfortably heated (approx. 82-84 degrees) from Memorial Day through Labor Day, offering a refreshing swim in the warmer months. Outside of this period, it’s unheated, but still open for those who love a brisk dip! \- The exterior of this home is monitored by 24/7 surveillance recording devices for safety. \- We are required to stick to our cancellation policy and we suggest adding trip insurance for any last minute issues that may impact your travel (Weather, Illness, etc).

Jun 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This property has an amazing view and easy beach access. We were very impressed with the overall cleanliness of the unit as well as high quality appliances, bedding, newly renovated bathrooms, etc. The ambiance is light, bright and the decor is just right. It was nice to see a minimalist ocean theme with tasteful artwork. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with quality cookware and utensils and the dinnerware and glassware is also high quality and well organized. This was a perfect getaway with our son and his family. We were happy to see beach towels offered as well as a fun and organized game cabinet. We will most definitely be returning with the hope that this great unit stays as clean and well-maintained as we found it. ##### Jonette D.
