The house is amazing, extremely clean, spacious, modern, with ocean views and walking distance to beach and downtown. We had 6 adults and there was plenty of space. We enjoyed coffee on balcony in morning, cooking in the huge kitchen, and playing board games in the evenings. The neighborhood has a small town beach vibe and I took many walks admiring the cute houses. Aptos is a great option to stay and still be near Santa Cruz and other towns. The ocean and forest are at your doorstep. It was a fun and memorable trip celebrating my husband’s retirement. I hope to return many times in the future!
