This big spacious house was perfect for our family group of 10. We enjoyed the comfortable beds and furniture as well as the high-end appliances, including a great outdoor barbecue The lush landscaping outside and the large flagstone patio offered beauty and functionality , such that we were able to spend much of the time outdoors relaxing or engaged in fun activities we'd planned. For we Arizonian denizens of the desert, spending time outdoors in the cool and pleasant climate of Aptos was heaven. The property is not too far from the Aptos beach, and is in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of parking. From there it is also an easy to drive to the Nisene Marks State Park in the Santa Cruz mountains for hiking in the redwoods, an activity we enjoyed. The house and area was such a great reunion location we hope to return again next summer. Contact with the representative of the property was also easy.
