This house and location was wonderful! The pictures do not due it justice. Let me see if I can list out all the great stuff.
The House:
- The outside space was lovely. The fenced in front yard had some great chairs and fountain. The backyard had a lovely table and umbrellas for outside dining.
- The master bedroom was great and very comfortable. The master bath has a jacuzzi tub and a duel head shower.
- The downstairs bathroom also has a bathtub - great for the toddler in our group =)
- This house would comfortable fit at least 2 couples (two bedrooms with a queen and king) + some singles or a children in the bunkbeds. We put a pack and play in here for our little one.
- The hosts left us complimentary keurig coffee -which as so nice!
- The living room had a skylight and opened up right into the kitchen (which had a table that could fit 6-8).
- The garage was a "game room". Some of the games were missing pieces (not a big deal for us) but it was a cool extra room to hang in. It also had 4 bikes and lots of bougie boards and sand toys to take the ocean.
The Location:
- The host gives special directions for beach access that is walkable - maybe 5-8 minutes. We never had to drive or pay to go to the state beach. The beach has bathrooms! Note it does have a staircase.
- The railroad track pictured is not functional so its a beautiful walking trail! We took it down one direction to loop back around on the beach. We took it the other direction to loop back around get ice cream and mariannes (8 minute walk)!
- It is a 8 minute walk to a playground (seacliff park) and a delicious indian restaurant (we got takeout)
- It was about 15 minutes to the Santa Cruz boardwalk, but we spent most of our time enjoying the park, beach, and railroad track walking path right in aptos.
We would highly recommend this place!
