"We were Very impressed with the home and the resort and the location. Very glad we picked it for our stay in the Santa Cruz area. Will definitely look for it's availability the next time we'll be staying in that area."

"Nice quiet place to stay."

"The property and house were beautiful! Clean, nice location. We stayed for my daughter's birthday and the proximity to the beach was wonderful! The amenities were ok. We had a great stay. The only thing that could be improved is the speed of communication with the hosts. We had some adjustments to make before our stat and it seemed that turn around time in messaging was about 2 days. Also, the wifi information was not posted anywhere in the house or check in guide so we had to message the host and did not hear back for quite a few hours. Not a huge thing. Overall this place was great and we'd love to come back!"

"I feel that this resort had lost its charm. I had high expectations that were very quickly diminished. I expected the pools to be nicer and more kid friendly. It felt like a budget hotel which didn't match the price."

"Clean room and just what we needed. "

"Stay was fabulous, except for the fact that the cleaning folks had not cleaned before we arrived. They did come shortly after I reached out to the VRBO property manager, but we still lost a couple hours of R&R time while the were doing their job. And as we were requested to load and start the dishwasher before leaving, but there was no dishwashing detergent I could find (and I did look everywhere I could). Again reached out to the VRBO manager who told me to not bother, but still, a little thing that slipped by.All in all, though, this was a fantastic getaway in a luxurious space with gorgeous views and comfortable beds. If I’m ever planning another getaway like this, I would rent this place again."

"We stayed here for our anniversary weekend and overall had a very nice experience. The property itself was clean, comfortable, and felt well cared for. We especially enjoyed the easy walk to the beach. The path was pleasant and made it easy to get out and enjoy the area without driving.Parking was convenient and stress-free, which we appreciated.There were just a few areas where clearer communication would have made the stay even better. The directions to the exact room location were a bit confusing upon arrival, and some additional guidance would have helped. It would also have been helpful to know where to find the ice machine and to have a quick overview of how to use the AC/heater.We also had some trouble with the TV remotes, as they didn’t seem to connect properly in either the main sitting area or the bedroom.That said, these were relatively small issues in an otherwise enjoyable stay. The location, cleanliness, and overall comfort made it a great spot for a relaxing anniversary getaway. Thank You"

"The cottage was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. We enjoyed our stay in Aptos. "

"My two friends and I chose this location for a nice, peaceful, and relaxing getaway. I’ll start with the PROS: the scenery is absolutely beautiful, and the nearby downtown area is very cute with small coffee shops and restaurants to explore. When the resident family wasn’t home, it was nice and quiet. We also loved the friendly cat that came to visit—it was a sweet touch! Additionally, the owner was very responsive and quickly helped us when we needed new batteries for the remote.CONS: The listing stated it comfortably sleeps three with a queen bed and a twin bed, but the “twin bed” was actually an air mattress, not a real bed. Also, this rental is essentially a mother-in-law suite attached to the main house, which was not clearly described in the listing. Because of this, it felt less secluded than expected. We could hear the resident family, even with the windows closed, including children playing, screaming, and even full phone conversations. While we’re not opposed to kids being kids, we specifically chose this place expecting a more private and quiet experience. The listing describes it as a “cozy guest quarters” and it appeared under “entire home” results, which felt misleading given that it’s attached to an occupied main residence.Overall, this place has some lovely qualities, but clearer expectations in the listing would have made a big difference in our experience."
