We stayed over Christmas and despite the rain we really enjoyed walking on the beach everyday. The kitchen is well stocked and the hot tub is nice after a cool walk we brought 2 dogs and they had a blast on the beach. Dog friendly town.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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. 😀
