The apartment is as advertised- amazing views and just a few minute walk to the beach. You can hear the ocean waves when the sliding doors are open and silence when they are closed. We loved eating on the porch with the ocean views. The kitchen is well stocked and it was great to have 2 full bathrooms. Everything was clean when we checked in. Aptos has some great restaurants to order take out or to dine outside. This is a great place very close to the beach. The walk from the beach includes a steep hill so may not be great for the very young or the very old.
