Loved our stay in Aptos. The house is really stylish and large and has many different living spaces for each member of your group to do your own thing. I used the office/den for my work while the kids played. We used the fire pit every night and also the grill in the upper deck. The house is a pretty short walk to the beach but we chose to drive there since had so many things to carry. Another awesome perk is the outside shower which we used to get the sand off before entering the house. I would highly recommend this place.
