Aptos beach vacation rentals

A quick and very enjoyable stay in this cozy, home-like setting. The kitchen is well stocked with quality pots and pans, dishes etc. All amenities like washer-dryer, bbq and tv are in good working order. Comfortable private patio and deck areas with a well maintained spa and pleasant landscaping. The location couldn't be better on a quiet street with easy access to the beach. Shamal was very responsive to any questions we had. We would love to return for a longer stay.

The cottage was even more beautiful that the photos. It was the perfect place for my daughter and I to have a writing retreat. Easy walks to the beach, coffee (Verve, OMG! Kombucha on tap!), pizza (Engefor, gluten free and vegan for celiac and dairy challeged among us.)

This is our second stay at this property. We occupied two units. There is always plenty of space, and it was clean and ready to go. We enjoyed the little details: plush towels, the “nice” TP, etc :) Thanks for hosting us - we’d come back if you’ll have us.

What a great find in an out of the way place. Would love to come in summer but honestly, it was great cool weather to enjoy the house and view of the ocean. Saw seals and dolphins and birds, barely any humans! Best find was Pezzini Farms right outside the colony. Go there for good food!

Cozy, comfortable and immaculately clean! Mariam was very responsive and there were some really nice touches like a welcome bag of snacks and guest book with recommendations. A couple of blocks from the ocean and peaceful, beautiful sunset walks. Would highly recommend this place!

Clean, comfy, and conveniently located for our road trip to Santa Cruz and the coast. We walked to shops, the marina, and the beach during our stay. The large dining table was great for playing Yahtzee while Alexa served up our favorite tunes on demand. Al, the maintenance guy who lives next door, introduced himself the first day of our stay, gave us his card, and offered to support whatever we needed—but we didn’t need much. A previous guest left a broken corkscrew, and I could've called Al. Instead, I walked to Day’s Market Liquors & Deli and bought a $5 replacement, along with freshly made chicken tamales that were absolutely delicious.

Staying at Seascape was the perfect kid-friendly vacation. The pool was easy to access from our condo and the views were beautiful. The condo's set-up with two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and a half bath downstairs was great for our family of 5. The private beach was beautiful - we saw otters, whales, and my son found two perfect sand dollars walking down the beach. It was a little bit of a trek to get down to the beach with three little kids and all the beach gear, but once we were there no one wanted to leave. Several near-by restaurants were delicious, especially the newly opened Dos Pescados. It was fairly easy to get into Santa Cruz too, but we did have to time traffic or it would double the drive time (to almost 45 minutes).

Best beach vibe! The location is amazing, great walkable neighborhood, lots to do. The house was fantastic, with so many thoughtful details. Joyce is a pro. She was super responsive and gave us great recommendations that made the stay perfect. My young kids (Age 9 and 6) loved the place - especially the downstairs living room and hot tub. Will stay here again!

The home was very nice and comfy. It was very convenient for our purposes.

Antoni place was great! The whole family enjoyed the stay even our dogs, it was hard to leave! We loved it and enjoyed ourselves. Definitely felt like home away from home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our two dogs at Ryan & Ian’s place. The location is phenomenal. We especially loved being walking distance from the dog beach that features a lighthouse in the background. The house had everything we needed— easy check in, parking spot, WiFi, fully stocked kitchen, clean towels, comfortable bed, fenced yard for the dogs, and a hot tub. Ryan gave us great local recommendations as well as extended a late check out to us that allowed us to rest more before our journey home. We highly recommend this Airbnb, especially for a couple traveling with dogs.

Great space in a quiet neighborhood. The place was clean and well stocked. Host was also very friendly and fast to respond.

We enjoyed the Beach Suite so much after our first trip that we chose to stay here again during our most recent excursion to Santa Cruz. Lovely location, communicative host, and great amenities!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place is clean, and everything is labeled clearly. Nice backyard, and location is quiet. Really is a respite away from home.

We loved our stay at the Gorgeous Bungalow! What a great location - a short walk to a variety of beaches, the iconic E. Cliff Drive for miles of strolling and watching surfers. Close to coffee shops, restaurants, with nearby Capitola and all it has to offer. We walked everywhere. And the house itself is bright and inviting! Fully outfitted kitchen even includes a coffee grinder. The outdoor shower and bathtub were novel and fun, and everyone enjoyed watching the koi and turtles in the pond. We are so glad we found this place; exceptional in every way. Jeremy is the perfect host, always available and responsive, yet gave us plenty of space. So grateful we found the Gorgeous Bungalow!

Staying here was wonderful. My partner and I felt at home and contemplated moving to Santa Cruz lol. Definitely worth it

Sarah was the best host we have ever worked with! Sooo helpful and easy.

Great location with a beautiful view. Kitchen had everything we needed (pots, pans, utensils, etc) including spices. Close to Santa Cruz and great hiking near by. We would definitely stay again in the future.

Great location in a quiet neighborhood, close to the beach and restaurants. Kid-friendly and beautiful. Kitchen was well-appropriated. We enjoyed our stay.

Location location location! This home was steps from the beach and was so lovely to listen to the waves crashing from the comfort of our bed! Walkable to local coffee shop, deli and restaurant for yummy happy hour. 3 stories was nice for 2 families, each family had their own floor. Jaleh was very responsive if we had questions!

Thank you so much, Matthew and Theresa, for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home! With a few dishes I wanted to prepare for our group, I am very appreciative of every tool, bowl and utensil I could have needed. Your kitchen not only had everything I needed and more, it was also so well organized. We were so comfortable, had plenty of space and appreciated all the special touches that make your home such an outstanding one. We enjoyed the fire pit, being able to sit around your kitchen island, the clean and beautiful bathrooms and great hot tub. Thank you again, what a treat! We hope to be back!

The view was beautiful. Short walk to the beach and restaurants. Everything was so convenient. The property was so unique. We had everything we needed for a relaxing beach vaca!

Beautiful home! You walked in and instantly felt excited! It's the quintessential aptos beack house home complete with a second balcony! Short walk to the beach and so quiet! Instructions were effortless and Myriam was so responseive! uber kid and pet friendly so grateful and humbled to be able to stay at the costal queen!!!

We had a fantastic stay at The Nest! Cozy, unique and beautiful in a super vintage way, the Nest is unforgettable for us. My family and I are looking forward to coming back for another stay in the future. Dave was a great host. He was responsive, helpful and clearly takes great care of the property.
