A very short walk to the beach, albeit up/down a steep hill, Sundeep's place sits on a hill with amazing views of Monterey Bay. The ocean fills the living areas with soothing sounds and we were treated to fantastic starry skies at night! If you bring a dog you can walk them on the beach on leash and there are other great dog walks close by. I recommend the Polo Fileds which has a dog park and lovely peaceful path around the fields. Also, Seascape Park Beach (a couple of miles to the south) which has a gorgeous blufftop walk. The Village at Aptos has a New Leaf Community Market for great produce etc.. and we had a really nice breakfast at the Bittersweet Bistro. We drove here and there but there are also places to walk to down the hill that others have written about, including The Flats where you can get a nice morning espresso/tea and muffin.
The accommodation is terrific and spacious for two. The kitchen area is lovely and the deck is great for sunbathing and watching the ocean.
