Coastal Bungalow - Steps From Rio Del Mar Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"The perfect spot to get away for a week, relax, and make memories that will last a lifetime. This place is especially meaningful to our family, so I have to share a little story. Twenty-four years ago, my girlfriend introduced my son and me to the beautiful beaches of Santa Cruz, Aptos, and Capitola. My son was only 4 years old at the time, and from that first trip, it became a yearly family tradition filled with memories that I will always cherish. This year made our stay even more special. My son is now 28 years old, and he got to continue that tradition by introducing his own 6-month-old son—my amazing grandson—to Aptos, Rio Del Mar, Santa Cruz, and the refreshing Pacific Ocean for the very first time. Watching three generations of our family enjoy a place that has meant so much to us for more than two decades was something I’ll never forget. What started as a family getaway 24 years ago has now become a tradition being passed on to the next generation. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while making another chapter of lifelong memories. "

Beach House Overlooking Seacliff State Park and Rio Del Mar Beach, Aptos

10/10 Excellent

"The property is right across the street from the bluffs overlooking Seacliff Beach State Park. We made full use of all the property had to offer. Watched the sunset from the front stairs and marvlous breakfasts on the upper deck overlooking the ocean. The only little inconvenince was no tub or shower on the lst floor which was difficult for folks with mobility challenges."
