The studio was as expected. Adorable little ocean-themed/travel decor all over the studio. The patio wasn't really usable due to the storms that recently passed through. The 5 minute walk to the beach makes this place really worth it. We walked to the beach after checking in and spent most of the day there. Our dog was even very calm and comfortable! Aptos is gorgeous and quaint. We hit up Norma Jean Cafe on our way out in town. I think our favorite part of our stay was that everything smelt like the ocean! We'll probably be back.
