Aptos Bayview, large 1 Br.Cottage, Pets & parking. Ocean View deck, fire pit

It was a really great stay. I highly recommend!

Cute and cozy cottage in a quiet residential location. Everything was perfect and would stay again.

Great little cottage. Very clean and tidy. Didn’t realize there was no door between bedroom and bath, which made a stay for 3rd person (sleeping on the couch) a bit weird. Would recommend this place for couples, though!

The cottage was just perfect for our weekend stay. It was spotless inside & the bed was very comfy. Grocery store was close by too. We enjoyed choosing a movie from the huge CD library. Might be a little old school now, but we loved it! Joe responded quickly to messages sent. Cant wait to stay again.

The cottage was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. We enjoyed our stay in Aptos.

Lots of parks and beaches nearby. Close to Cabrillo College. Parking just a few feet from the front door beautiful view from kitchen window of gardens in front of the cottage. Table and chairs in garden for outdoor dining. Hundreds of videos on discs,

Beautiful view and a lovely cottage

Wonderful hosts and fabulous cottage. Great location and close to everything. Look forward to visiting again.

Our stay at Aptos Bayview cottage, could not have been better. The cottage is just lovely as are Joe and Melody. So hospitable. They brought us freshly made chocolate cake with fresh berries and whipped cream. Made us feel right at home. Very clean and bright, and just totally felt cozy. Will stay again forsure.

Joe is a superb host--very friendly and helpful without intruding and accommodating when we unexpectedly needed a key for the cottage.The place was clean and bright and had what we needed for lots of cooking and eating there. Some rentals are sterile, and this had color and decor that made it feel warm.Our favorite feature is the little seating area outside. We enjoyed it multiple times. The one downside: the bathroom situation. Other people have mentioned it, and we dealt with it, but I didn't like the lack of privacy.

Cute cottage, was perfect for our visit. And our dogs loved it.

this is a very clean and well stocked cottage with no-step access.

The cottage was perfect for our needs with our little dogs and our toddler. Easy to get to the Aquarium and to Thomas Day Out in Felton. Fun time going to the beach and so nice to have sand toys for my kid! The 2 free aquarium passes were an awesome perk.Super friendly hosts and easy to communicate with. 5 stars all the way! Would stay again.

Very nice 1BR apartment with access to a patio and gazebo area. This was a great location for us.

Great spot, pet-friendly and host was very accommodating.

Cute and cozy place perfect for two people. It was close to Santa Cruz and met all of our expectations. It’s quietly located up a hill to where you can see the ocean from the kitchen window. Jim, the property manager was awesome to work with. Loved the way he kept the communication with us during our stay. I will definitely stay there again.

Very nice place to stay at.

Enjoyed the stay away from the busy areas but close enough to enjoy the entire Monterey Bay coastline.

Lovely cottage with beautiful view. My only issue is that the couch/futon was badly stained so I laid a blanket over it. Other than that, the kitchen is very well equipped which I appreciated because I ate in a lot.

I stayed here with my longtime best friend and her 10-year-old daughter over a three-day weekend. It was such a lovely experience. Not only was the place clean and cozy with a well-stocked, fully-equipped kitchen, our hosts were VERY kind and welcoming. The only “odd quirk” was the flimsy partition separating the main sleeping area from the bathroom in lieu of a door. We worked around this by agreeing to stay out of the bedroom whenever one of us needed a bathroom break, but it might have proven a bit awkward if we’d brought any guys along.

We lived the kitchen, fire pit, very clean and the owner was so nice and helpful

This is a beautiful property with gentle, kind hosts. It’s tranquil up the hill from all the hustle and bustle along the coast. We loved staying here on our bike ride from Canada to Mexico and the hosts let us put the bikes indoors overnight. We especially enjoyed the view, the fire pit and the beautiful garden. Just be aware the bathroom isn’t completely sealed from the bedroom but that wasn’t a problem for us as we stayed here as a family.

Clean, spacious. Nice kitchen and a beautiful environment. Hosts were very kind and attentive.

Good location, clean, quiet. Aptos is a nice weekend getaway.

Had an awesome on night stay at this cute guest house spot. The location was nice and the house it was attached to was beautiful. The place was overall clean & tidy but the pullout couch did have some stains but we weren’t really put off by that. The bathroom situation was a bit tricky due to it being divided by a partial pull out wall so you didn’t have complete privacy in the bathroom but again it didn’t bother us at all but for some that may be a deterrent. Overall we had a great stay and would absolutely book here again! The owners were extremely communicative & let us use their park & aquarium passes.

Very clean and organized. Loved the supplies provided. Cups, dishes, coffee etc. The futon was super comfortable. Nice floorplan flow. Cozy. Close enough to Monterey Bay Aquarium and Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Thanks for the 2 guest passes to the Aquarium!

This is a very nice property. Clean and extremely well equipped all you need to bring is your clothes you will want for nothing else. Beautiful home with a nice little guest house great location at a very fair price. I very highly recommend a stay here.

I went for a few of days with a friend for my birthday, and adored this place. It was so light and airy and I loved the original art. The sofa was comfy and long enough that i didn’t need to open it up. I would enjoy going back to stay for a month to paint, read and relax.

We loved the beach cottage near the beach. The owner was responsive to our questions, and we had great weather especially for January. The location was good as it was close to Santa Cruz and about a 40 minute drive to Monterey. We'll stay here again if we're in the area!

We stayed two nights. The owner was very easy to work with and helpful. It was great that they had aquarium and state park passes for people to use. The beach is about 1.4 miles away, downhill on the way there, so we chose to drive. It's a nice, quiet neighborhood. The house was clean. Our biggest complaint was the bed. While I know that bed firmness/softness is personal, this mattress just seemed older and neither of us slept well on it. The sheets were also scratchy. With a more comfortable bed and softer sheets, it could have been a 5.

I stayed here with my dog for two nights. Very close to hiking trails. Quiet and peaceful.

The property is attached to the owner house, but has completely independent entrance. Has a nice grill area attached to it which we did not get to enjoy, but can be an awesome place to hang around with family. The place was very clean, beds and sofa were in very good condition. The sofa bed, for a change, was actually sturdy and as good as a bed for two people. Overall very happy with this trip and our stay.

This property was perfect for 4 people. Centrally located with a view. The property managers were so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

It was great! We had a great time.

Lovely cottage in nice neighborhood with many thoughtful amenities. I especially appreciated well stocked kitchen with basic spices and condiments provided. Bed was comfortable. Nice that it was on ground floor. Front patio with ocean view a plus.

The cottage was the perfect location for our visit to Aptos. Joe was friendly and inviting. The place was cute and perfect for our stay over. Close to our event so that was a plus. Thank you, we will be back. :)

It’s a very welcoming place. The furnishings and the cottage itself are beautiful with a wonderful beach vibe. The hosts were attentive and thoughtful. I definitely give this property a 5 out of 5!

The cottage was quiet, clean and cozy.

Great place, very clean and had everything you needed, I highly recommend it to anyone

Perfect vacation place, everything was sparkling clean and well stocked with all essentials. Perfect location, close to beach and hiking trails, stores, and everything else that you may need. Joe and Melody are perfect hosts, always there when needed, very responsive and helpful. We are definitely coming back there in near future. Thank you Joe and Melody!

This was a great place to stay (Aptos), close to Capitola, Santa Cruz, Moss Landing, etc. The property owners were compassionate and kind. The cottage has a beautiful kitchen and the hosts thought of everything you'd need to make breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The main bedroom is a roomy full-size bed; the couch pulls out to a queen. On this trip, we visited a few state parks and the Monterey Bay Aquarium with passes generously provided by our hosts. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. The beach is walkable for a fitness walk, but it is too far a walk to carry everything you might have in your car for the day.

Nice property, enjoyed our stay. Great location, quiet and secluded neighborhood. Aptos is right down the hill. Nicene Marks state park is walkable from here. Cottage is well-stocked and clean. We deployed the kids on the pull-out couch and floor and that worked well. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage, Joe is a great host. They generously share their guest passes for the aquarium and state park, which saved us some money.
