We enjoyed our stay in Aptos. The place was perfect for 3 of us, celebrating my husband's birthday. We enjoyed the backyard with the hot tub and BBQ. We used both, but not the above ground pool. The location was close to everything we were doing, including the freeway. It was a quiet stay and we appreciated the hospitality. Even though there wasn't a kitchen per se, they did have a full fridge and microwave, in addition to the BBQ for our use. The place was very well stocked with everything we needed and extra perks we hadn't even thought of. We would stay there again if we are ever in the area.
