What can I say after a mini-vacay here from the stressful pandemic lifestyle? This was a GREAT respite away from the stress of everyday life as an essential worker. We, as well as others in Aptos, still wore masks and practiced social distancing. But I guess the difference is that we were near the ocean, Aptos wasn't crowded, and this home was sparkling clean and relaxing. Mind you - you will be climbing stairs up and down all day, so this place is not for anyone not in condition to do so. My sister was going to join us but she twisted her ankle a few days before and I arrived first at the locale. When I saw all the stair climbing I told her this was not going to work for her. (From the street level you walk up a flight of stairs to the 2nd floor to the entrance. This is where the bedrooms and outdoor patio are. Then you walk up another level up to the 3rd floor for the kitchen, living and dining areas.) But you get a nice view from the 3rd floor of the ocean! (You also get that view from the balcony off the master bedroom.)
The master bedroom is very comfortable but too much sunlight comes in in the morning for my taste (I have blackout curtains at home), so I ended up sleeping in the bottom of the queen sized bunk bed because there was less light in that room. What a comfy mattress!! It has like a 3 inch foam which my daughter has ordered for her mattress!
Chefs - bring your aprons! This kitchen has everything you will need to prepare delicious meals! Due to the pandemic (& twisted ankle) our family trip got shortened to just 3 of us but it was perfect. Quiet, relaxing, and lots of cooking going on.
Oh yes - let me mention how quiet this neighborhood is! I could never stay in one of those beachfront homes with all the parties and people traffic walking by - no privacy. I came to relax and this place is exactly what the doctor ordered. Thank you for a wonderful getaway!
