We had a great time! Aptos is a very cute town and it was a great "in between" place while we checked out Santa Cruz and Monterey. I liked little touches for kids like plastic cups and a light that can double as a night light in their bedroom. The king bed was comfortable for both my husband and I (and we like very different firmness). And my girls loved the "magic" TV that they could bring up from the cabinet at the touch of a button! I loved being able to hear the waves crashing while relaxing.
