My kids, dogs and I all had a lovely trip to Aptos. The location is great as it is so close to the beach. The only downside is that the property faces a hotel that has a lot of traffic/noise at all hours. Other than that, it was a very pleasant stay. Mariam left a welcome bag of treats as well as some toys for the dogs! Super appreciate the hospitality. Any time I had a question, she always answered it immediately.
