What an amazing house in the woods of Aptos! It’s unique, beautifully designed, and there are thoughtful touches everywhere for guests to enjoy.
The views are unbeatable. The home feels up-to-date while also being historic (neat newspaper clipping downstairs telling the story). Everything was clean and nicely prepared for us to arrive. Sitting on the patios facing the forest and ocean makes you feel like you’re in a designer magazine. It was a worthwhile once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience!
Location is conveniently near Seacliff State Beach and the Forest of Nisene Marks State Park. Highly recommend both, along with Aptos St. BBQ and Marianne’s Ice Cream.
A word of caution for those who are prone to motion sickness or vertigo, the lower floor (bedrooms) can give a little feeling of unsteadiness since the floors are slightly slanted and there isn’t as much visibility at night. Also, little ones will need to be careful to follow rules for safety (but isn’t that the case everywhere!)
