Robert's place was a real treat to stay at. I've never been to Aptos, so I was not sure what to expect. Robert's place is right by the beach, within short walking distance. The area is very peaceful, beautiful and quiet. Robert is a great host and thought of every tiny detail when staying at his place. It's great for anyone, but especially great for a romantic time with your significant other. Fireplace, music player with surround sound, candles by the bed, great walk-in shower, big comfy bed, etc. He really thought of EVERYTHING, even had a tray with wine glasses, dinner set-up for two, two towel sets laid out for my boyfriend and I. It was a real pleasure and will definitely stay there again!
