Clean & cozy beach house

We spent 4 days at this property while visiting the area and we would recommend it to other families. Our family of 3 had the place to ourselves with more than enough space to stretch out and relax. The house was very clean and well furnished, and had the kitchen supplies we needed to prepare meals while we were there. The proximity to the beach was great - about a 5 min walk - so we spent a good portion of each day by the water. The rental process was simple and access to the home was very convenient. Thank you to hosts Cricket and Mike for a very pleasant stay.

Loved this place!

We had a great 5 day stay visiting our son. The property is very clean and close to the beach! We particularly enjoyed the gas fireplace in the cozy living room and the well stocked kitchen for preparing meals! The property is also conveniently located to Aptos Village. We hope to stay again!

Lovely as always

We've stayed at this property a few times, and always enjoy coming back. The house is clean, well-appointed, and comfortable all around. Location is also great - beach is just a few minutes walk away, easy drive to local attractions (Santa Cruz Boardwalk, Carmel, Monterey, etc). Owner is also very thoughtful and responsive. Thanks for another great stay!

Great spot for family of 4

This house worked very well for our family of 4 with kids ages 5 and 7. Easy walking distance to the beach plus delicious coffee and treats just around the corner at the Venus Pie Trap (with gf pie options)

Perfect beach house

My family (husband, two daughters, and I) stayed at Mike and Cricket’s property for 3 nights. It was a perfect jumping off point for exploring the Central Coast. Beds and couches were comfy, kitchen stocked, lots of cozy little touches. I wish we could have spent more time in the house. Loved having ocean views. We had great food at Pixie’s across the street, and had ice cream twice at Marianne’s (2 min drive). We had a great stay!

Clean, easy and beautiful place to stay

We loved staying here! This was one of the only vacation homes we’ve stayed in that wasn’t full of tchotchkes to break or knock over on accident, but still tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The outdoor shower has warm water and so nice to use after a day at the beach! The upstairs deck wraps all the way around the house, and makes a perfect racetrack for a toddler. Very comfy beds, well-stocked with condiments from past guests, and 10/10 communication from hosts. We plan on coming back!

Fun and comfortable!

It was a great experience for the whole family and convenient being walking distance to the beach and a perfect kitchen space and outdoor grill to save costs on meals. The house has a view of the ocean from the front deck and provides a very cozy space after adventures to Monterey and Santa Cruz. Great for a family or a couple! I recommend this VRBO and we will definitely be staying here again!

Great time in Aptos

Great location and view right near the beach! Owners responded quickly to issues with VRBO, and they were very helpful. Comfortable and spotless home on the hill, with everything wé needed (from towels to condiments). Highly recommended home and owner!
