Good location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had let the property management team know. We ended our stay a day/night early. The property had an odor downstairs that wouldn't go away. The upstairs floor on check in was sticky as well. The location was great, the property management team was pleasant, nice people around the house, quiet and close to the beach.

Charming Sunny Home

We had a great stay. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking - every pot, pan and utensil you might need. The sunny, bright kitchen and living room are upstairs and three bedrooms downstairs. Very close to the steps to the beach and we enjoyed long walks. Great location. When emailing ahead of time the property management was very responsive. We’d stay again!!

A++++ PERFECT BEACH GETAWAY!!!

This house was beautiful & SO full of sunlight streaming through the windows & all the rooms including bathrooms, were sparkling clean! This house is WELL taken care of & it shows! We loved all the bedrooms downstairs & having the "tv room" with a cozy & comfy couch with the gas fireplace turned on, watching the playoffs was wonderful & so relaxing! They supplied everything one would need for a getaway & we will DEFINITELY be returning!!

Week by the beach

Nice enough. Upstairs deck with a view of the ocean. Confusing check-in process (management company emailed instructions 3 months before our stay, right after first payment - challenging to figure out how to get the key.) Kitchen was sufficient, beds ok. Nice the nicest place we’ve ever stayed at but was the right price point for a 7-day stay in the Santa Cruz area. Neighborhood & local shops were fantastic!

Wonderful trip

This home is so cute and located in a really quaint and conveniently located neighborhood. The only few things that I would have liked to be aware of in advance is that there is only one TV, not a big deal to me, but my husband does enjoy some TV in the evening. The other thing, is the WiFi was really weak, I did have to work a little bit on this trip, which was a little harder without good internet access. Overall this was a lovely trip and getaway spot, would 100 percent recommend.

Nice place, clean, well located. Master bedroom was great, roomy, and that bath was nice. The 2nd full bedroom was also roomy. Both were great for adults. The bunk bedroom was so-so for two adults but perfect for two kids. The upstairs kitchen had plenty counter space. The Dining area was great for 8! The couch/chair area was great for hanging out. The deck was huge and also had a nice sunny day bed and round table seating for outdoor dinner. The hood was nice and neighbors were friendly. The location was quite convenient, just about a 1/3 mile walk down to Seacliff St Beach. The shops at the four corners State Park Dr & Center were super. The Snow White, Marianne's Ice Cream!!, Manuel's Mexican had some great grub and their Top Shelf Margs were tasty! Bailey's Property Mgmt were excellent to work with. Aptos was super nice and we will return.

Dissatisfied

To our surprise it did not look like it showed on the pictures. The bed topper was stained and worn. There were ants in both bathrooms on the first floor and the bedrooms. Our son was taking a shower and we heard a noise coming from the garage and it was the water heater, it sounded like it was going to explode . The garage had paints cans and miscellaneous “items just laying around. The garbage can was full to the point we brought our trash home. The back yard just basically dirt and weeds. There was no contact from the property management on a daily bases as stated. The dish washer needs some help. The barbecue was dirty to the point that we did not use it and falling apart. In our opinion there should be a TV upstairs. For the price we expect more. The amenities is the garage are old and dirty.
