Lovely place with a great backyard, perfect wrap around deck, and stunning ocean views. Excellent choice for Santa Cruz or for slightly longer drives down to Big Sur.

Had a lovely stay here in Aptos . The house was spacious, clean, and exactly what we needed for a family trip. The location was peaceful, the kitchen made it easy to cook meals, and the Wi-Fi worked great. Everyone enjoyed the change of scenery. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
