My mom, sister, and I had an incredible time at Joan's beautiful home in Aptos! The house is beautifully and tastefully designed (both interior and exterior) and includes everything you need for a perfect getaway. It's a 2 minute walk to the beach and a close drive to tons of great restaurants in the area. Although we didn't get a chance to meet Joan in person, she made sure check-in was a breeze and replied to all of my messages super quickly. All in all, a great experience. We would love to go back!
