Castle by the Sea

Our stay was incredible. The home was everything we expected plus more than we can express. The ocean views and the sound of the waves never got old. It is the perfect home for a family vacation! We would definitely go back and stay.

Great place for a large group

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House is super close to the beach very clean and kitchen is well stocked. Only recommendation is more beach towels and maybe some beach chairs would be nice. I did not like that we had to pick up our key from Aptos and drop off. They only gave us one key and this is not enough for families vacationing together. If you hit traffic it can take a while to get in and out of Aptos. I would recommend to friends. We had 13 people and there was more than enough room

WOW views from seven areas

We stayed two weeks and children and grandchildren came and stayed at different times. The third floor was perfect for our daughter, husband and three kids. Also the WIFI worked perfectly so she could work many of the days. There were gobs of games, puzzles, etc. The pool was perfect. Fire pit was fun for smores. The grass area was nice to lay out and enjoy the sun. It was peaceful yet close to many restaurants and towns to shop in.

4 generation summer family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great location and home for our family's summer vacation. We had four generations from two to 80 years old enjoying each other's company and the house. Beach out front, pool in back. Home was spacious and inviting. Agency was helpful. We enjoyed excursions 30 to 45 up and down the coast. The steps are steep so pack in smaller suitcases. I do see us returning in future years.

Lovely beach house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family gathered for the weekend and had a wonderful stay. Lots of comfy rooms with quality beds and pillows. Great views. Very well appointed kitchen. The decor is a bit dated, but very comfortable and lots of seating. Based in the description we thought there was a hot tub but there isn’t. We were a bit put off by all the signage around the house telling us we might lose our deposit if anything goes wrong. It felt very aggressive so we just made a joke about it. Other than that it was fantastic.

Great stay for family celebration

We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with our 3 adult children and their families, 15 people total. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The house was spacious, clean and everything we needed was there. Being right accross the street from the beach was a huge hit with everyone. We would absolutely love to stay again.

family gathering

This was an amazing, well supplied, beautiful home which was appreciated and a blessing to all of us. We are a family of 16 so finding a home "next to" the beach accommodating all is quite difficult. Castle by the Sea met our expectations and beyond. Celebrating 54 years of marriage with children and grandchildren is special and we feel grateful to the owners for sharing their beautiful home.

Perfect stay for our 25 anniversary vow renewal!

This home was absolutely perfect for our group! Big kitchen to cook and windows galore. Perfect little nooks for reading and great spaces to gather for food and games. The heated pool was amazing no matter the weather outside. Location couldn’t have been more perfect, don’t forget to catch the amazing sunset! We hope to stay again someday but will cherish our memories until then.
