Michelle's house is small and cute; good for small families or couples. The location was great-walking distance to a park, ice cream, and the beach was so close and convenient, though driving to the beach is better to bring all your stuff. We went to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk on a Sunday, so there was a little traffic but still got there pretty easily. There is no dishwasher, but the kitchen had enough to make simple meals. The eating area is very small and tricky with young kids, but we made it work. Having a pack n play and highchair on site would be very helpful for families. The listing says there are toys for ages 2+. There are some barbies that my 3 year old played with for a bit, but the other toys/puzzles seemed for older ages and the coloring books are almost completely used. We brought my son's cars though, which is really all he needs right now so that was OK. All in all, we had a very nice stay in Aptos!
