This home was perfect for us. The location, the comfort, everything. We felt at home the minute we stepped in. The patio and yard were perfect for my 1 year old grandson. Close to the beach, close to Marianne’s close to Santa Cruz, it was everything we hoped it would be.

Absolute amazing stay and experience. As an architect, I appreciated the great interior layout but more importantly, the amazing outdoor space. We interchanged lounging in the “front yard” and amazing backyard. Very useable and well appointed. We even played bags and bocce in the backyard and used the bikes to get to and from the beach. Thank you Colm for sharing your home with us!!!

Our stay was exceptional! This home is well suited for families, even those with young children. Our kiddos had a blast running around the backyard. The house itself was clean and cozy. The host has everything you need for a fun day at the beach (7-10 minute walk). Aptos is an absolute delight. We cannot wait to come back!

A superbly designed living space. The kitchen was a delight to use. The outdoor patios were expansive and convenient. Returning from the beach was a breeze with the outdoor shower with hot water. The enclosed backyard was excellent for a little toddler running around. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The furnishing had taste and function.
