Aptos, California
VISTA DELFINO is our treasured vacation spot with a dolphin view. We chose this spot on Monterey Bay for our own family gatherings. It is close enough to all the area's sights and conveniences, but quiet enough to make your trip a true getaway.
Relax in your condo with a wall of windows overlooking the water. Hear the waves crash outside your door. A block from the sand, head out for a morning walk on the beach, enjoy boogie-boarding or a picnic.
Watch the sea life from the deck, and from the open-plan living room, dining room and kitchen. Gather in the fully equipped kitchen to prepare all meals or only a few -- the choice is yours. Venus Restaurant, Pixie Deli and Venus Pie Trap (espresso drinks and pizza), just off the beach, are walkable locations for eating out. Many other restaurants, grocery stores, and shops are within a mile of the condo. Our informational guide (in the unit) lists places to eat, shop and sight-see.
Located in the less crowded Rio Del Mar neighborhood of Aptos, this is your perfect base for visiting Santa Cruz (10 minutes away) and Monterey/Carmel (30-40 minutes away), as well as taking local nature hikes and having fun at the beach.
Vista Delfino is equipped with special features that make us feel pampered and refreshed. We hope our guests will appreciate them, too.

GARAGED PARKING: Two (2) dedicated parking spots (one behind the other) in the enclosed garage for small-medium-sized cars only. Garage is shared with the neighbor. Trucks or large family cars or vans, and SUV's must be parked on the street.
POOL: The pool (shared among condo residents and guests) is open all year, but heated from May 1 to October 31 only.
STAIRS/Accessibility: There are 6 stairs from a flat walkway along the building to the front door of the condo. Guests can be dropped off at one end of the building to minimize stairs. There are about 10 additional stairs from the garage (bottom level) to this walkway.
Our location overlooking the bay means that the beach is downhill 500 steps, and an uphill walk to return to the condo. Those with mobility issues can be dropped off at the parking lot at the bottom of the hill to walk the path along the beach.

We loved the property. I would definitely stay there again. Short walk to the beach and gorgeous beach view from kitchen and family area. Well stocked with beach toys. ☺️ I loved everything about the property.
By the looks of the picture you would think the beach is right in your backyard, it's not. The place was OK, inside but the neighborhood is a little run down. Overall decent place for the price.
Nice!
We stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time! The place was clean, neat, surrounding neighborhoods were good, easy walking distance to the beach and had amazing ocean views from the balcony. Would definitely stay here again
Aptos was a great stop for restful beach days in between our other busy days touring the California coastline!
Our family had a great time! The condo had everything we needed and was a close walk to the beach. We enjoyed our time and would definitely return.
We came to California for a short reunion with our son and his fiance and this apartment on the beach was very clean, cozy and comfortable. We loved the giant winows looking out on the ocean and felt completely relaxed. Nice beds and pillows were very appreciated! We loved the area with Capitola and Santa Cruz so close and Monterey and Carmel just a short drive away. We had a great time participating in the 4th of July activities in Aptos and watching all the fireworks on the beach!
Nice property! Very clean, comfortable and good instructions for staying there. We couldn’t find any paper towels or napkins and only one kitchen towel. Be sure to bring your own. We had a good time.
Condo was very nice, clean and Well equipped. The only negative was the rooftop somewhat blocking the view. It was fine for a couple of days.
Excellent location , beautiful condo with full on gourmet kitchen. We would love to stay here again! Very peaceful.
