All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We came with 3 other couples. The bed situation is perfect, with two kings and two queens. Distance to the beach is ideal. Parking is tricky for large SUVs/trucks so we had to get creative but all around it is a beautiful property and we would definitely stay here again.

The rental was nice as always. Only problem (not a complaint), we noticed bug wings in the master bedroom on the floor and window seals when we checked in. Seemed like the cleaning crew didn't do a great job there. Turns out later in the trip, there we live winged bugs in the same area and near the master closet. Something to look into

Stayed at this lovely home for the week with family, including kids and grandkids. Enjoyed sand and sea fun, area hikes, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The home was comfortable, well furnished and clean. The location is ideal (across from the beach) and Bailey Management was wonderful to work with. They were efficient and responsive.

The management staff were very helpful and bought a swifter so I could clean the floors. Cleaning staff must do a better job. Will rent the property again next year.

Reviewer Comments:
We love this home. It's a little extra effort packing in and out but worth it to be above the street level where parked cars can block your view. This home has a great layout with huge, open living room, dinning room and kitchen. plenty of dinning seating, and great gas fireplace for cool evenings. I appreciate the solid core bedroom doors--helps cut down on noise if you want to go to bed before others do. Love the deck and the fact that the house has a back patio as well. The beds were firm but comfortable--except for the bottom mattress in the bunk bed. The edge of the full mattress was pretty broken down probably from people standing on it to make the top mattress. If you have early risers, put them in the bedroom with the skylight. My daughter said the drawers in the main bedroom had a bit of an unpleasant order to them that transferred to their clothing so they weren't able to use it. About the only other thing was the kitchen knives were pretty dull but I've found this to be typical of most other rentals. We usually bring our own or a knife sharpener.

Lovely 4bed 2.5 bath beachfront home. Large, well appointed kitchen, clean, plenty of room to accommodate our large family and beautiful views!This was our third year renting this home and look forward to returning in 2026.
My best friend’s family and ours have been going to Aptos for over 20 years. This home accommodated us nicely and has a great open floor plan where everyone can hang out together.
They also have a cute back patio area, I just wish it was swept and that spider webs were removed.
Definitely would consider staying here again!

Great location. Lovely large living space on the second floor. Comfortable bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms on the third floor. Some cleanliness and maintenance issues which were not solvable during our stay. The property manager acknowledged these issues and made adjustments.

Summary. Great location, large well laid out house, missing key amenities, not a luxury house, critical issue with workers coming into back yard unannounced and staying for the dayGood: Large deck with tables and chairs overlooking the ocean, large, well layed out house, fully stocked kitchen with gas BBQ. Large parking area Bad: Windows and screens were so filthy they ruined the view(huge dust balls when I used a sponge to clean all front and back windows and screens) Stained carpet and couches. TV remotes didn’t work (probably no batteries). No beach towels. No beach chairs. No boogie boards. Have to sign a separate contract as part of rental (not defined in listing). $450 for linens and cleaning. Smells a bit musty (but it’s been a wet year). Outdated bathroomsUgly: Creaky saggy beds. At 8am two workers showed up in back yard to work all day. Ruined our privacy. Reacted negatively when asked to keep voices down while kids were napping in the afternoon. Got an apology but that’s it.
Not a single complaint; the home is perfect! Loved our stay!

Fabulous Easter Week
Our Easter Break was spent at the Beach. And this house was very clean and comfortably for all our family members. Kitchen is very spacious and plenty of counter space for all our goodies. We enjoyed BBQ'ing on the back Patio, and playing games and renting movies. We watched for Dolphins and whales. We were all quite happy with the sleeping arrangements. Tho I would suggest maybe sometime soon a new Mattress for the Second Room with a queen, or a topper mattress. Other than that we would for sure want to come back and make many more memories here.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us

Do not rent from this owner
We rented this house and the owner stated that we damaged the hardwood floors, stained the carpet. He wanted to keep our deposit. I fought it because we did no such damage. He insisted that the hardwood floors were just refinished the week before, but there was no smell except musty smell. The mattress covers were dirty and filled with dust, and all the rugs in the bathrooms were soiled and had to be washed. It is a beautiful house, but beware!! Take pictures of every floor surface, or have someone walk through the property with you before and check off all spots or damage to house/furniture, and hope he doesn't try to rip you off!!
