What a great find! We spent a wonderful few days in Aptos at Sarah's charming beach house. It is warm and beautifully decorated, and just perfect for decompressing from hectic city life in a quiet, charming neighborhood with views of the ocean from various windows. It was great to sit on the balcony and hear the ocean in the distance. Check in was simple and straightforward, and Sarah sent thorough directions. The location is close to the beach, a few restaurants, and Marianne's ice cream parlor. This is a great house for a family, and Sarah had beach toys and towels out for us to use. Every detail is considered, and I'd highly recommend this to all my friends as a quick escape from the Bay Area or a cozy house for a beach vacation.
