Beachside Aptos -- Quick Walk to Beach, Pet Friendly, WIFI, Washer & Dryer

This is a comfortable, dual-level, family town home situated 1 block from the beach at Rio Del Mar … just far enough to feel peacefully apart from the crowds, but an easy amble to the beach. This popular beach runs south of Santa Cruz and boasts miles of sand and a variety of restaurants. There is also a shopping center with a major grocery store; sundries and hardware store and other shops and restaurants nearby. A 2 minute walk takes you to the Seacliff State Park and Beach with BBQ and picnic areas, fishing pier and walking path.

This furnished vacation home has vaulted ceilings; tile and carpeted floors; large, open floor plan; and its own private deck. The secluded deck is a wonderful spot to relax and listen to the ocean. The kitchen has a bar counter with bar stools and a separate family style dining table and tiled counter tops.

Linens are included at no extra charge. Stove, dishwasher, microwave, coffee pot, toaster and blender are all there to make you feel at home during your stay (plates, silverware and cookware provided).

2 Bedrooms, 1 bath. Accommodates up to 4 adults and 2 children.

Parking available off-street. Extremely CLEAN, has patio furniture; and a BBQ.

Relaxing Beach Vacation
My son and I stay here every time we come to the beach for vacation. The house is clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything you need. The location is perfect. Just steps from Rio del Mar beach, and a quick walk to Sea Cliff State Beach. A quick drive to Santa Cruz too. All the restaurants nearby are wonderful. Pixie Deli has great breakfast and lunch and Venus Pie Trap has the best croissants! I would highly recommend staying here.

Very happy with our stay. House was clean, lots of towels, hot water, well stocked kitchen. Lots of thoughtful comfort stuff. Dogs loved walking on the beach 1 block away. Owner is very responsive and helpful if needed. Nice to sit on the balcony off the master bedroom in the sun and read. 3 restaurants and store right handy.

Beachside Aptos review
Exceptionally clean, tidy, and comfortable condo. It was easy to relax in this well stocked, organized unit, as host has planned well for guests enjoying either a short or an extended stay. Located in a super quiet neighborhood, this unit is a very short (2 min) easy walk to the beach. With windows open at night, guests can hear the gentle sound of ocean waves upon the beach. All communication with host was excellent. Would definitely recommend this unit and hope to plan a return visit.

Perfect Beach Vacation
I have been staying here for my beach vacation every summer with my son. We love the location, just a quick walk to Rio Del Mar Beach. Walk a little further to Sea Cliff State Beach. Great places to eat near by. Pixie Deli and Venus Restaurant and Bakery. A short drive to Santa Cruz Beach Board Walk. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and well stocked with everything you need. I always look forward to this home away from home.

Thoroughly delightful stay
The Beachside Aptos condo is a delightful place to stay. Location is ideal, being only a block from a gorgeous, fine sand beach, Rio Del Mar, which is fine for boogie boarding, long romantic walks, or strolling with your poochie. The condo is well appointed, with visitors’ comfort in mind. We cooked great meals, relaxed on the patio and upstairs deck, and enjoyed local restaurants. We look forward to returning to this lovely, light, airy condo soon.

Relaxing beach vacation
This house is cute and comfortable, has an upstairs balcony where you can sit and enjoy the ocean breeze, and everything you need for a beach vacation. It is just steps away from Rio del Mar Beach and a short walk to Sea Cliff state beach. We come here every summer and always enjoy it. There are many great places to eat nearby like Pixie Deli and Pizza 1 and there is nice hiking in this area too. We love to just swim at the beach all day when we stay here. Our dog loves it too. We always look forward to coming back.

What You Need for a Nice Time
The house is so close to the beach. It's got just about everything you could need. (Bring some beach towels.) It was just enough room for the 4 of us to do what we needed, when we were there. There's so much to do and see in the area. The management is very responsive.
