This is a lovely home with an outdoor balcony that has a beautiful view overlooking vineyards with mountains in the background. There's a very nice and well-maintained lap pool and hot tub. The owner thoughtfully left cut flowers in several places throughout the house to welcome us. The stovetop takes a bit of getting used to, but it and everything else in the kitchen worked well and there were pots and pans, dishes, silverware, serving utensils and glasses galore. Aptos is near both Santa Cruz and Monterey, so there is lots to do when you're not swimming. We (4 adults and 2 little ones) had a wonderful stay.
