Nice, newly renovated house a few blocks away from the Aptos city beach. The house was spacious and good for a group. The house definitely feels clean/empty, like a vacation rental (not someone’s house that is lived in). One thing to note about the house is that there is a large main staircase in the foyer that connects the bedrooms (which are downstairs) to everything else (which is upstairs). Just something to keep in mind if you have small children or anyone with mobility issues. Cheshire Rio was very friendly and accommodating upon check in and check out. We didn’t need anything during our stay, but I’m sure they would have been helpful with their office staff during the daytime and their 24-hr emergency line.
