Cannot say enough about our stay. The cottage truly has the best views on the bay and exceeded our expectations! The cottage was exceptionally clean throughout and well-provisioned with all one needs for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Aptos is it quiet neighborhood with beautiful eclectic homes, close to amenities beyond the beach including Nicene Marks Redwood forest just 10 minutes away for incredible hikes. A short drive to Santa Cruz, Monterey , the aquarium, and delicious restaurants. We scheduled our dinners in to coincide with the gorgeous sunsets. Returning to DC refreshed and relaxed. Can’t wait for a return visit!
