This house was the most beautiful we have stayed in with Airbnb. Hand crafted by Boots, a general contractor and photographer/surfer, it is beautiful and child safe. It has a working grill, lots of pans and plates for cooking, a big refrigerator, large TVs, great children's rooms, beautiful clean bathrooms, and an enclosed back and front yard. It is a 15 min walk to a beautiful beach and ice cream shop. Aptos itself is a quiet charming community without all the Santa Cruz and Monterrey traffic; it is close to amenities and a great place to relax. We had 4 children who visited for longer than initially planned and our niece's screaming (1) tested us, but Boots kept telling us to not worry and relax (he and his wife live on the second story, separate entrance). They have owned the house for 36-38 years and renovated it recently and it is quite lovely and enjoyable.
