I am a pretty avid AirBnb user, but I must say that my stay at Bikini Bottom has by far been one of my best experiences!! Nancy is such a gracious host and is so attentive and quick to respond. Not only does she keep a binder full of local recommendations but she also was kind enough to message me with even more detailed information on parking, hikes, breakfast spots, etc.
The house itself is beautiful!! The open floor plan of the kitchen and living room was perfect for cooking dinner and breakfast together while still being able to chat with our whole group. The patio has the perfect view of the ocean and the historic shipwreck, perfect place for morning coffee or watching the sunset with a glass of wine. Beds were all very comfortable and Nancy provides plenty of extra blankets and pillows. The walk to the local state beach was just a few minutes away which was perfect! There are steps to climb on the way up, so I'd recommend emptying your cooler before you leave the beach. There is also amazing hiking just a short 5 min drive into Aptos Village, which I highly recommend. Could not have asked for a better location!
My friends and I had an amazing reunion weekend for my birthday which definitely wouldn't have been as special without Bikini Bottom and Nancy's amazing hospitality!! If you are looking for a cozy, beautiful, house to escape to for a weekend by the beach - this is the perfect place! :)
