This house is wonderful to stay at. Really only a 5-10 minute walk to the beach to watch the sunset and it was gorgeous. Everything that is listed in this house is really all worth it even with the small issues we had. Please only take this into account by word, the house is wonderful and is a very great AirBNB to stay in! There were just three issues that my guests and I had while staying.
The communication was strong in the beginning of the reservation but the day of the reservation, I messaged and even called once to ask a question, I did not get any response throughout my trip and even to this day. It wasn't a very important question luckily, but if it was I think I would've been disappointed.
Also the phone service is not that great in the location, a forewarning. This is via ATnT, Verizon and Sprint/T-Mobile, so not the homeowners fault. So my guests and I connected to the wifi. The wifi signal does not reach the front of the house. It is terrible in the living room, front bedroom and bathroom. The router is located upstairs so it has great connection up there as well as in the kitchen, which is below the master bedroom upstairs.
This was a small issue that won't bother everyone but there are signs all over the house about parking. When reserving the house we were told only two cars in the drive way and I completely understood that. But there are many and I mean, many signs around the house that warn about parking and that the neighbors are watching and will take pictures. My guests and I felt like it was excessive, it was very nice to be reminded but all in all very excessive and almost threatening. Maybe the homeowners have had issues in the past with it but if told once about it and also in the house rules, I don't think it would be necessary to have so many postings in the house/garage.
Again with those issues aside, the house and location are very great for anyone wanting the be in the Aptos, Capitola and Santa Cruz area. It is very clean and easily accessible as well as having a great outdoor location to hang out with your other guests. Thank you for opening your home to us!
