Welcome to Casa Rio Del Mar – A Spacious Coastal Getaway for the Whole Family
Just four houses from the sand and a quick stroll to Rio Del Mar Beach, Casa Rio Del Mar is a bright and welcoming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in the heart of Aptos. With its unbeatable location, expansive layout, and multiple indoor/outdoor gathering spaces, this home is made for memory-making.
Step inside to a dramatic two-story entryway flooded with natural light, leading into an open-concept living and dining area perfect for reconnecting after a day in the sun. Two downstairs bedrooms, each with queen beds, share a full bath, while the upstairs offers a stunning Great Room designed for family fun. Equipped with a Smart TV, cozy wood-burning fireplace, secondary kitchen and bar, and plenty of seating, it’s the perfect space for game nights, movie marathons, or just lounging with loved ones.

Local favorites like the Hideout and DeLaveaga Golf Course are just a short drive away, and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk offers family-friendly excitement less than 20 minutes up the coast.
