It's a great location as this is right on the beach. With a young toddler, we had trouble with the bed frames downstairs, but other than that, this was a great stay.

Beachfront Condo

We had an amazing stay at this quaint beachfront condo! The neighborhood is lovely and peaceful, providing a perfect getaway spot. The location is fantastic, with easy access to the charming towns of Aptos and Capitola, where we enjoyed great dining and shopping. The condo itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and having the beach just steps away was a highlight. We highly recommend this property for anyone looking to enjoy a serene beach vacation. We can’t wait to return!

Private place right on the beach!

We stayed for a week and the pictures are accurate. You are right on the beach and there is a private stairway (via a downstairs bedroom) to the beach! Check in was easy (at the place) and communication with the property management company was easy/responsive. FYI the upstairs bedroom is not enclosed and supplies (no salt, no nonstick pan) are lacking. Closest town with decent supplies is Capitola (20-40 minutes depending on traffic). Overall our vacation was awesome and we would stay again!

My only complaint....

My only complaint is that upon arrival the windows were very dirty. I cleaned them all myself because it really hindered the amazing view this house has to offer. I understand the cleaning staff not cleaning the high windows, but all of the lower level windows and sliding glass doors should be cleaning each time.

Defently delivers with the beach views and proximity to it. Also although that section of the beach is not private it did seem to be more space between families. I recommend this property.

View is spectacular!

We had a wonderful Christmas here! Right on the beach as advertised. The property management company was very responsive to a few minor issues and they were resolved immediately. The one recommendation I have is to purchase new beds. The property does have three levels so lots of stairs which may be difficult for an elderly person.

On The Beach Down Two/Three Stair Flights

Nice house, spectacular location and weather in October, three levels-too many stairs, lacking in supplies--paper products, esp. toilet paper, air conditioning needs either new HVAC or thermostat, took 5 hours to cool down to 70 degrees, balcony porch lights didn't work, pathetic microwave from 1960s, kitchen utensils could use updating and decluttering, living room drapery pulls awful-painful to operate. and stuck a lot., 1st floor shower head needs replacement-water shed in a circle, but not in the middle where one is standing., plenty of towels, linens, dishes,, living room nicely furnished and comfortable.

All that was advertised

I just spent 5 nights at the beach. This property is all that it says it is. It was super clean, the views were to die for, and it was just an amazing stay. To make it even more wonderful, the property management company (Kendall & Potter) we’re professional, helpful, and just so kind to work with. I definitely will be booking this property and using K & P again!!!!

Beautiful view , location

Beautiful spot , gives you the private beach feeling . Lovely views of sunsets , we had a. Great time enjoying the bon fire and watching the sunset from the balcony’s. . Would just recommend they get foam toppers for the beds. People had hard time sleeping and woke up saying they are hard . The laundary room was full of dirty linens and. Arrived .had to do them ourselves . Other than hard bed and dirty laundry , it’s a gem.

Wonderful Ladies Weekend

We loved being right on the beach and having a bonfire was so cool. Plenty of room and the kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of towels for everyone.The beach was not crowded and the neighborhood is quiet. The fireplace was cozy for the cool evenings. I could not give 5 stars because the beds and bedding need to be updated. My daughter slept on the queen bed downstairs and said it was very springy, felt like being on a pull-out couch. My niece said the queen bed upstairs was not much better. The pillows in the master were very cheap. The windows were filthy and not just from the recent storm.
