Aptos was a great location for us. My daughter and I were very comfortable in this fully furnished suite. The accommodation is private with a separate entrance so you hardly even notice you are part of a home. Lisa provided detailed instruction to find the place and met us at the door to give us a quick tour of the property. The location is a short walk to the beach which you can see from the driveway. The beach itself is a long sandy stretch of scenic coastline. California beaches are world class. And Aptos was handy for a side trip to San Francisco which is a couple of hours away. The drive up Highway 1 was amazingly beautiful too. We would highly recommend staying here.
