Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Aptos

Perfect place to stay. Great for kiddos with a park across the street. Beach, boardwalk, shops and restaurants are all close by. We loved our stay here!!

We had a lovely, seamless stay here, with two little kids in tow. It was a great location, and had lots of amenities. The backyard is nice and quiet and shady. It is a great price, and convenient location, very close to the airport but in a nice residential area also convenient to downtown. 100% would stay here again.

Toby & Chels’ home was nice and cozy! It was just as described, with very comfortable beds & couch for lounging. The neighborhood was safe and peaceful, and perfect for my group of 4. Chels/team were responsive and provided multiple methods for communication, though their instructions and recommendations were clear, so I didn’t have to bug them too much :). I would definitely enjoy staying in their home in the future again, and highly recommend it!

Rezan is one of the best hosts

This is a very comfortable and stylish house, with 2 bedrooms and 2 outdoor sitting areas. It is a short stroll to the beach where there are several restaurants and a coffee shop. We had a wonderful weekend getaway and would love another chance to stay there.

I always choose to stay at Emrehans when I need a place near San Jose. Very beautiful, clean home/yard, great location. Emrehan communicates well and has been very accommodating to me. Very good price for the stay. Would recommend.

Sarah’s house was beautiful- clean and lots of room. There was enough space for us to be together and space for alone time. There were 8 of us. Sarah had made some recommendations for dinners and places to go. We did try a couple of them and the Mexican restaurant and ice cream place was delicious . We had one issue with hot water and Sarah responded immediately and issue was resolved in a timely manner. The house was a little farther from Santa Cruz than we were used to but it only took 20 minutes get there. The area where the house was located was quiet and close to the ocean. We genuinely loved our time in Aptos. Would stay again .

Had a wonderful stay! Janet’s home was very peaceful and relaxing. Literally had anything we could need during our stay. She also let us check out at 1 so we could go on one last adventure without being in a rush! I would definitely recommend her place, & stay there again sometime!!

Everything was great! The unit had everything you could possibly need for a trip (stocked bathroom, stocked kitchen, tons of extra towels and blankets). The neighborhood was also very quiet, which was great because we're light sleepers. I would definitely recommend this spot and would stay again.

This was the most peaceful and beautiful space I have ever been to. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. All the greenery and the deers and random dog was super gorgeous and felt really at home. The hot tub was amazing and super relaxing. Robert was very kind and responsive, Received a phone call about all the lights, hot tub, close trails, and recommended spots!! Super helpful and very kind gesture. Would 100% go back to this place

EJ and Nancy have such a lovely property. We easily felt we had our own space. You can tell that they've been doing this for years, and have a great way of making everything comfortable for guests. Our two kids had space to spread out, the playground is not directly next to the front door of the apartment, but you can see it through the yard's trees & hear them more or less within ear shot. Kitchen was amply supplied and set up, & there are plenty of storage spaces and creature comforts to make the stay feel like home. Beds were comfortable & clean, super comfortable pillows. The unit itself doesn't get a ton of natural light, but to be expected in redwoods. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, we had a nice time chatting with them. Wonderful hosts, they felt like family. Their little dog is so so sweet and friendly as well, my kids loved the dog. Great location, easy to get to surrounding areas and Santa Cruz proper. Would return!

Outstanding location and great condo. Condo was just as advertised. It was clean and very comfortable. Cheshire Realty was easy to deal with.

What a great stay at Allison's place. Everything was as described. The backyard, pool and hot tub were amazing. Allison was very responsive to any needs as well. Will definitely stay again!

This is a nice and beautiful house! We stayed for a month and felt just like home. The host is very friendly and responsive. The pool is clean and well-maintained, although the weather was too cold when we stayed.

Alexa's place is gorgeous! We had an incredible stay with our kids and grandbaby! The setting in unbelievable in the mountains right outside Los Gatos. It feels like a luxury resort with the infinity edge pool and lush grounds. The apartment is beautiful and well appointed. Alexa even left us some fresh fruit and veggies right from her garden! We'll definitely be back!

Magical! That is the word that just kept coming up for us! What a lovely place! Chrissi and Stephen were just as sweet as the place! Great and easy location to get to all things Santa Cruz (of course the Redwoods too!). We just loved the cozy and unique vibe, the gardens, you just step into a little retreat as soon as you arrive. It had all we needed. Parking is street parking, which we had a slight concern with (I am an over packer!), but we were able to find a space right near out front every time (literally!). We will be back, I have no doubt!

Susan was awesome with responding to any question we had! The place was perfect for our family to gather and stay together for my son’s wedding, which was just a few miles away. We highly recommend the home for a group!!! Thank you, Susan!!!!

This place was perfect for our stay. We are Airbnb super hosts ourselves and have been hosting since 2017 so we know what it is like to creat a 5 star experience for others. We appreciated how clean the place was, quiet , updated. The air conditioner worked well and even helped cool the bedrooms down. The beds were so super cozy - which helped a lot since our stay was for medical and rest. One of the coziest beds we’ve stayed in at an Airbnb. Most of all the hosts were so responsive and were willing to help with whatever we needed. Amazing experience and highly recommend!

What an absolutely lovely stay! This is simply put a perfect location. Across the street from the beach but not right *on* East Cliff Drive, so you have a little buffer from that road, and it's on the end of a one-way street, so there's little to zero actual traffic in front of the house. The place is large and funky old fashioned fun. Love the old timey vibe (lots of historical family photos everywhere and antique furniture, and the house is very old — probably historic), but if you're used to modern luxury and amenities, this place probably won't be for you. That said, we really enjoyed it! The beds are comfy and clean — we slept great. Plenty of room to spread out, and GREAT outdoor space. The carport off the street is very handy. The only suggestion I have for the homeowner is that more lighting is needed in the kitchen — at night it's hard to see and prep a meal in there. Power West went above and beyond with proactive and responsive communication. We will be back!!

I stayed at Ali's listing for a month and really enjoyed the home and surrounding location (Willow Glen). Ali himself is the ideal host thanks to his hospitality and responsiveness. I hope to visit again in the future!

Gabriel had a lovely place in an absolutely spectacular location! It was a dream to stay there.

Great location, cute house, great backyard, very clean, extremely thoughtful in what's offered in the house, like lots of towels, lots of games and books, and so accommodating for your dogs. We've rented a lot of houses with our pets. first place we've stayed that not only had extra leashes, dogs bowels, clean doggie beds/blankets and the number of an emergency veterinarian. plus the property manager came by on a Friday evening to help us sort out the TV situation. we will be back!

Rolando’s place is very clean and spacious, the neighborhood is very quiet, and it’s very close to shopping centers and malls—just a 10-minute walk. I highly recommend Rolando’s place. If I visit San Jose again, his place will be my first choice
