The Rio del Mar Beach House made our girls getaway weekend in Aptos. It was clean, comfortable, and inviting--not just in decor, but also by the fresh-baked cookies that were left for us upon arrival! We literally oohed and ahhed as we walked through the door (you know how girls can be); we loved all the thought that was put into the house's cuteness AND our comfort. Nothing was overlooked. We were supplied with everything we needed (like shampoo and towels) and didn't even think we needed (like a beach bag and reusable grocery bags for the store... and three walking sticks/canes. Thanks for those, especially. :) )

Less than a 5 minute walk to the beach, the location was ideal! Once parked, we really didn't need our car, as we were close to restaurants and eateries, though it was also fun to drive into "town" for groceries and dinner.

Jeff was wonderful to work with. He was exceedingly prompt in his correspondence and also gave us a most helpful and detailed write-up on how to navigate the house, restaurant recommendations, and contact information.

Thank you for a fabulous stay! We would definitely stay here again!
