Rio Del Mar Gem!
We stayed for a week with our small dog and this place was wonderful. Our adult sons were very happy to find the extra bed in the alcove so they didn't have to share a room. The amenities were top notch, including very comfortable beds, an excellently stocked kitchen, great beach chairs, and even heated toilet seats. The owner was very responsive and helpful when needed. Highly recommend this lovely home with it's modern upgrades.

Fantastic home with lots of amenities. Very close to the beach. Nice coffee shop, deli, convience store and restaurant within easy walking distance. Many other options just a 5 minute drive away. Friendly people in the neighborhood. Felt vey clean and safe. Comfy beds and the home was beautifully redone. The back deck feels private even though the other gouses are fairly close.

Loveliest Seaside Stay!
I took the kids and the pooch for a little vacation here and it was truly wonderful. The place was very clean and cute with new appliances and everything we needed. The beach and good places to eat were within walking distance, so we barely had to drive anywhere. The neighborhood was beautiful and the kids were so delighted. The manager was very warm and prompt with his communications. Would definitely stay here again!!!

Perfect beach getaway
Everything about this home is beautiful. Master bed was cozy. Updated features throughout. Perfect tub for a relaxing bubble bath. Cozy backyard space with lighting and a bin of stuff to take with you to the beach, which is such a short walk! The host was very friendly, easily reachable and helpful with all of my questions. I will be coming back, for sure!!

Great getaway spot at the beach
My family and I spent a great Thanksgiving here. The house is really cute, an older pink stucco cottage. The kitchens and bathrooms have been updated and are modern and lovely. The house is less than two blocks from the beach and walking distance to a small market, nice restaurant and really good coffee shop with great pie. The hosts were responsive and warm - I highly recommend this house for your next beach vacation.

Ideal location
We had a delightful stay at this vacation rental. The host was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. The house was true to the description and photos.. very cozy. The kitchen had everything you could need to cook up a nice meal, the backyard was a perfect area for our toddler to play, and the beds in the rooms were super comfortable. For those with young children, the host has a travel crib and high chair available for use. Most importantly, you absolutely cannot beat the location... a two minute walk to the beach! We have stayed in Santa Cruz many times, but this was our first visit to Aptos. As a family with two young children, we appreciated the quiet, sleepy beach town vibe. Rio Del Mar beach was clean and not overcrowded. We felt safe walking around the neighborhood with our little ones. We would definitely stay here again!
