I highly recommend Lynn's place. It is in a quiet neighborhood, walkable to the beach, and offers both the relaxation of small-town Aptos and proximity to Santa Cruz and other fun spots. The house is beautiful, with comfortable bedrooms, a spacious living and kitchen area and two balconies with ocean views. I rented the house for a girls' weekend and we were all sad to leave. Communication with Lynn was excellent as well; she is a great host.
