Jennifer's home was perfect for us. The best feature–besides the proximity to the ocean–was that the people sleeping upstairs had their own bath, seating area, and desk, so family members sharing the house could have their own space and privacy. The mattresses and pillows are very comfortable. There is no direct access to the beach, but at the end of the street (a one-minute walk?), there are two benches that overlook the ocean. We would absolutely choose this house if we are ever in Aptos again.
