Wonderful

We were in town for a family wedding, and the property served our needs nicely. We particularly appreciated the proximity to the beach and a small community of restaurants, bars and Marianne's ice cream within an easy walking distance.

Nice to be close to beach and services in Aptos. Courtyard nicely laid out. Unfortunately the property needed some serious airing. There was very musty smell. We couldn’t get the air conditioning to work. Decoration was minimal. We were disappointed.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Good location
The home is in a nice location with easy access to most things. The furnishings were nice and the beds comfortable. The home itself could have been better cleaned. Additionally, there was no bar soap, shampoo or coffee. Upon rereading the listing, I realized they were not listed in the amenities, so that’s on me. I’ve just never stayed where these (at least soap & shampoo) wasn’t provided. One last mention is if you are getting to the house by gps be sure to note if it is street or road. We ended up in the hills.

Liked: Cleanliness, communication
The property was in a good neighborhood, not too far from the beach. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was neat.
The major issue was that the property may have had mold issues. It was apparently closed up for some period of time as it had a "musty smell". It certainly did not smell fresh and significantly bothered 2 of our group who had allergies. Also there were only mirrors in the bathrooms which upset one of our group. We could not get the air conditioning to work and were not sure if it had air conditioning. We would NOT rent again.

We booked our stay here for our wedding weekend. The house was perfect for the weekend. The kitchen and family room were newly renovated, however the bedrooms and bathrooms could use a little upgrade. The one odd thing that we didn’t realize before booking was that there were shelves all over the house for cats.

Last month we visited Aptos, Calif. We stayed at 208 Valencia. We have stayed at this property a number of years. The kitchen was remodeled and we enjoyed the openness of the kitchen, dining, and living area. We look forward to seeing what other changes will be made to the remaining rooms. The house was clean, extra towels and blankets were provided. We often enjoyed our morning coffee in the front patio with the beautiful bougainvillea. Seacilff Beach, Manuel’s Mexican Restaurant, Castello’s Caffe and Deli, and Marianne’s Ice Cream are all with in walking distance. The staff at Bailey Property Management were kind, helpful, professional. They are a pleasure to work with.

Nice place for a family vacation. The house is nice with an updated kitchen. The front courtyard makes a great spot to sit and enjoy the sun. It's an easy walk to the beach (lots of stairs) and yummy ice cream, among other delights in the little village of Seacliff.

Five girlfriends rented this home for a 3 day getaway. We wanted a single story home with no stairs and would be easy for one of our friends to to get around with her walker We were not disappointed in the description of the home. We found it very clean, modern spacious kitchen and open living area. The 3 bedrooms are very accommodating and it has 2 full bathrooms. The exterior of the property is well kept and landscaped beautifully. There is a nice driveway that will accommodate 2 cars nicely.

Reviewer Comments:
The house was pleasant but minimally stocked. There were not enough cups unless you wanted to wash them constantly. We were only given one bath towel per person and one hand towel per bathroom. When you are at the beach and taking multiple showers a day, one towel is not enough. The house felt dated and tired.

Reviewer Comments:
We've stayed in the house many times in the last almost 7 years. Our daughter lives around the corner so the location is perfect. Certain things in the house could use some sprucing up especially the kitchen. Overall it's a nice house and works for our needs.
I recommend this house for several reason not least of all is its proximity to the ocean and blocks away from a great ice cream store. The house is solarpowered so that was novel. Everything ( TV , Internet, barbecue, cable) worked great with the exception the fridge which did not. Bailey properties showed little alacrity and as a result we ended up not having a functioning fridge for the duration of your visit. Beds were comfortable, though I would travel with a pillow next time as the ones provided were lacking. Two bathrooms which was nice. The showerheads could stand to be replaced but perhaps I am being overly picky. I would return most assuredly. Decent kitchen and not too bad on the cookware and ancillaries.
Great location, only 2 blocks from the ocean and Seacliff beach. House was clean and fine. Only comment is that my friends and I used all 3 bedrooms and the beds outside the master bedroom could be improved (one had the mattress essentially on the floor, not the most comfortable).
I can’t say enough about this lovely home. First and foremost the location was perfection. Walk to Aptos State Beach, New Leaf Grocery, delicious sushi restaurant, superb French restaurant and more. The home was a model in energy conservation, just book it and you’ll see.

Reviewer Comments:
The house was located close to a StateBeach, restaurants, and groceries. Clean residence with a comfortable front courtyard behind a gate.
I stayed at the house in Aptos with my two adult children. The location was great and the house and yard were really lovely and welcoming. We particularly enjoyed having meals in the front patio garden.
Thisproperty is a great jumping off point for all that Santa Cruz has to offer. Located on a quiet street with great neighbors and the house was just as it was advertised.
This home is located in a neighborhood that is within walking distance to restaurants, ice cream parlor. and the entrance to Sunset Beach. The home is clean and the kitchen is well appointed. We are hoping the return next summer and extend our stay!
