The house is lovely, with lots of charm. The deck is really great and relaxing. The driveway is steep as listed - we used the additional spot at the top instead even though we did not have a big car. Aptos has lots of restaurants, good grocery stories (loved the New Community Market) and is close to Rio del Mar. One challenge for us was mobile service. There were delays and hard to hear folks. But otherwise as listed. We appreciate how responsive the hosts were and the place was clean. Be sure to hike from the house if you have time! The redwood forest is beautiful.
