We had the most wonderful week at Rachel's home in Aptos! It's located in a sublime spot, with lovely decor and comfortable touches throughout. We especially loved the pool and the deck off the kitchen, which looks out onto the nearby countryside. Rachel was incredibly responsive and helpful, always there to answer a question or respond to a request. We didn't want for anything all week! The house is on a charming country road filled with vineyards, and was only 10-20 minutes to magical beaches and 1-hour from Big Sur. This is truly a wonderful base from which to explore the Santa Cruz area. We will definitely return!
