It felt like we were staying at a friend's place. It really feels like someone's home - spices, condiments, oil, butter etc in the kitchen. And beach toys, umbrella, tons of towels for the beach. The khiels products were so lovely. Nancy was amazing with communication and helped is with where to go, eat etc. The house looks exactly like the pictures. The deck was beautiful and movies chairs so comfy. We had amazing weather so completely lucked out. Nancy also let us check in as early if we wanted (we couldn't take advantage of it) but it was truly a lovely offer. We would stay again in a heartbeat. We loved being close to the beach and restaurants. We loved Aptos and Nancy's home!!
