The house was well stocked with many helpful items, games, movies, etc. The location was also amazing--steps from the beach and in a lovely Aptos neighborhood. The backyard was beautiful and very nice with a grill and outdoor chairs. The house itself was a little less inviting than I would like, because there was no coffee table in the living room, and it was a little outdated. In terms of safety, the neighborhood is very quiet and nice, but the house had no way to lock from the inside if someone had the code. All in all, we had a great time, felt comfortable, with just a few complaints.
