Located in the Rio Del Mar flats, this recently renovated Beach House is a 5 minute flat walk to the beach.

The kitchen, bathrooms, & bedrooms have all been recently renovated (see pictures). There are hardwood floors throughout the house. The upstairs features a King bed with a TV mounted on the wall. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs that include 1 Queen bed & 2 Full beds. There are 2 full bathrooms and one 1/2 bath.

The living room includes a 60" flat screen TV mounted over the fireplace with cable including a DVR & HBO. High speed internet is also available throughout the house. Each bedroom has their own TV.

In the garage, there is a regulation pool table with a 50" TV to keep everyone entertained. There are also beach chairs, umbrellas, a wagon, and a corn hole game.

The roof top deck has panoramic views of the Rio Del Mar area along with a peak of the ocean.

Guests will love the location of this home - Venus Restaurant is just down the street along with the famous Pixies Deli. Walk along the beach towards the cement boat & guests can venture up the outdoor stairs to the state parking lot just blocks away from Manual's (an excellent Mexican food restaurant with exceptional margaritas).

Aptos BBQ is just up the street from the house and has a phenomenal selection of local beers with top notch meats & salads (you might even be able to catch a local blues band on a Sunday night). In addition, there is a large wine bar across the street from Aptos BBQ.

The recently opened Hideout restaurant is a treat and is just a bit further down the Soquel road.

If you want to venture out a bit more, Capitola is just a couple miles up the road & has excellent boutique shopping and several restaurants along the beach. In addition, the Santa Cruz boardwalk is a very short drive & has entertainment for all (rides, games, surfing, biking, hiking, fishing, kayaking, scuba diving, etc.).

Monterey Bay with the renowned Aquarium and Cannery Row is just 40 minutes south. If you're ready for a beautiful drive, head north 90 minutes on the picturesque highway 1 and visit San Francisco.

* Please note parking in driveway. NO off street parking
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Family vacation

This is a wonderful house! We had a great stay with everything we needed. The house is well stocked. The garage has everything you need for the beach, wagons, chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys for the kids. Along with the pool table and a corn hole game for the backyard. Just a short walk to beach. The crows nest on the roof was icing on the cake. The upstairs got a little warm in the afternoon on our 85degree day, but there was plenty of fans to cool down. The downstairs bedrooms do hear noise from people walking upstairs. But the tri levels allow alot of privacy. I still give this house 5 stars and highly recommend it!

A very nice Beach House

We rented this beach house to spend some time with my daughter and her family. The house is located a short walk from a very nice beach. There is a small creek that empties into the ocean at the beach, and my grandsons really enjoyed playing both on the beach and in the creek. The house is quite nice. There are a lot of stairs, so anyone who is infirm would do well to look elsewhere, but we enjoyed the views and the privacy that having multiple floors afforded. The garage is loaded with beach accessories (chairs, boogie boards, kites, assorted pails, shovels, and other sand toys), and a pool table. The house is located on a one-way street, and there is no on-street parking, but plenty of room for a couple of cars in the driveway. Suggestions: 1) It would be helpful to label the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen. 2) There was a sign in the kitchen, and a note in the property guide that stated that there is no off-street parking. I found this a bit confusing, as there was also verbiage that said that we should park in the driveway, which by definition is "off-street". Since there was no available space to park on the street, we assumed that the no off-street parking sign was an error. 3) House policy is that those staying in the house when garbage is collected should put the various bins out on the opposite side of the street on pick-up day. We found this a bit confusing, as the opposite side of the street was packed with parked cars. In our area, the bins need to be spaced apart on the street to allow a truck with an automated pick-up arm to empty them. We found that we could place our bins in front of other bins across the street, and apparently it wasn't a problem. We enjoyed our stay very much, and would not hesitate to recommend this property to others.

Perfect Beach Getaway

What more could you want in a vacation? An uncrowded beach just a short all away, beach wagons filled with sand toys, a well-equipped kitchen, a lovely backyard for foggy morning play and restaurants of every ethnicity a short drive away. Thank you for a great stay. We’ll definitely be back!!

Excellent Home, but...

This home is super clean, great space for family, with wonderful features and a short walk to the beach. Perfect location, but... ...the first thing you will notice is a tight parking situation. Second, when you put your head down to rest at night, Treasure Island Drive (along backyard fence) is problematic.

Our 1st vacation stay in Aptos

We liked the house, but you really need to add how much stairs there are in this house. Also, we were very disappointed with the backyard, the BBQ and the broken stairs going up to the top. Plus the refrigerator did not work really well for the food we had, so we had to go get ice for the ice chest. And its really sad the area really doesn't have alot of eateries. Would like to try another location or house.

Clean and spacious beach house

I booked this place for 7 adults for 3 days. Rooms were super clean and spacious. Neighborhood is clean and quiet. The place itself ended up much nicer in person. We really appreciated the roof patio in the evening and being able to park in the driveway. Driveway fits 2 cars easily. Communication with management was smooth and no issues with check in or check out. Would definately stay here again.
