Charming Home with Character

The home was perfect in every regard. The kitchen was well furnished with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The interior was decorated with sailing ships in every room. Our 4 y/o grandson was amazed! We greatly enjoyed playing chess on the board with over-sized pieces.

I’ve stayed at many vacation rentals, and this is one of the best. It’s one of the best because of the details. It’s well kept, and well appointed. And as a cherry on top, you can walk to the beach in 5-7 minutes. Highly recommended.

Beautiful spot!

We all loved our stay! The house was perfect for the 6 of us (4 adults, 3 yr old & a 16 month old). It’s an easy walk down the trail to the beach, the front deck was a welcome sunny spot for afternoon chats and the back yard and hot tub were a welcomed and lovely bonus at the end of the day. The hosts were easily reached, check in and out were simple. The perfect beach getaway! We highly recommend it!

Relaxing and convenient beach stay

My family (two teens, my husband, dog and I) had a great stay at the Beach Bungalow in Aptos. Property is super cute and clean. Close to restaurants, cafes and shops. Quick walk to the Beach. Water in the bathroom shower took a LONG time to get hot, but the hot tub was amazing and had a nice outdoor shower.

Awesome stay in Aptos

Great communication with owner prior to our stay. Cottage looks even better in person. Very clean and spacious, hear the waves breaking from the front deck. Short quick walk to beach and town. Three tv’s, plenty of towels, TP, cleaning products and spices if you choose to cook, although owner had great restaurant recommendations. Would definitely stay again. 😀

Very clean and a great location!

I stayed here with 5 other girlfriends and it was fabulous. The front deck was our main hangout area with great views, we even saw whale spouts! It's a nice quiet street with easy access to the beach and delicious Mexican food and ice cream down the street. The hot tub and back patio were also lovely and the beds were comfortable. It was a great affordable getaway accommodation for us! The only reason it's not 5 star is the shower heads were low and weak.
