This property seems like an average or above average condominium at the Seascape Beach Resort in Aptos. These condos were built in the 1990s, and they do show their age. This property was cleaned, and the carpets had been cleaned (but stained from 20-years of use); however, the fixtures seemed to be original and somewhat showed their age. The place could probably do with a bit of a remodel. New carpet, new fixtures, etc. The separate rental agreement that we were asked to sign was unusual; although I've stayed with AirBNB for hundreds of nights, I've never been asked to sign a separate "non-AirBNB" agreement (perhaps because it's part of a larger resort).
We were the first guests to stay in the property, apparently, and the linens were new and unwashed (rough/linty). But when I texted the property manager (Jen), she was extremely responsive (brought new linens, etc.). If it were my property, she is the kind of responsive person I would want managing it (thank you, Jen). And I think you can rest assured that if you need assistance, the property manager is on top of things.
The grounds are fairly nice; and although we didn't use any of the amenities except the pool, it's a decent location. There isn't much of a view from this condo, but the beach and pools are a short walk away.
Because this was an extended stay for me, I did use the "community" washer and dryer facilities, which were pretty gross. But on the whole, it wasn't a bad stay and I'd recommend it for budget accommodations in Santa Cruz.
