Aptos, California
The Coast Queen is a wonderful house for a pleasant getaway to the coast for the weekend. It's a perfect place for a family, a couple or even two couples. It's a short two minute walk to the beach (and coffee shop, deli, corner market, and restaurants) providing a great anchor for days at the beach, yet it's only a few miles from Santa Cruz to enjoy the wonderful food, and activities in Santa Cruz.
Rio Del Mar is one of the last of the quaint, small village areas on the central coast. You can walk about a mile north from here, and seemingly endless miles south. We are close to the cement ship as well.
The house has been recently remodeled, with new floors and appliances in a full-stocked, fully functional kitchen. The deck upstairs is a wonderful place to hang out on sunny and shady days (with a movable umbrella if you're a shade-lover), along with an outdoor grill.
There are flat screen televisions both upstairs and downstairs, along with basic cable and free Netflix. We also have high speed internet.
We have a car port for two cars off street parking.
We are a legally permitted vacation rental in Santa Cruz County.
We also have - special for kids - a Harry Potter closet! It is equipped with a super comfy mattress-type thing, and pillows. (We are still waiting for an owl to find us.) Kids have been known to read books there for hours, sleep there, and play spooky games there too. (There is good light in there, for those who want it.)
We are dog friendly BUT WE HAVE A PET POLICY. If you are interested in bringing a dog you MUST tell us at the time of booking. We will share our pet policy and you must agree to it. If you do not tell us you are bringing a dog (and agree to our pet policy), we will charge an extra $200 cleaning fee.
We have a general maximum of four adults. If you plan on having more than 4 adults, you need to check with us. We charge an extra fee of $20 per night for extra adults.
This property is set up great for people traveling with small children, but not so much for someone traveling with an elderly adult. It was surprisingly quiet for the location but river or beach is not visible from the property the view is the hotel across the narrow crowded street.
Great time spending a sunny winter-day at the beach. Great location! Home was nicely decorated, comfortable and beachy. I appreciated the check in emails from the owner, the easy/secure parking and large outdoor deck.
Very comfortable home great location and very quiet.
Great, cozy, comfortable place! Enjoyed the accommodations very much!
The property was clean, good kitchen and living space had plenty of room
Great location to beach, cute and tidy home; love the local recommendations in the guest book. Thanks for a good time!
The location was great, but the unit was a bit disappointing. Bedrooms very small, cramped. Linens and pillows not so nice. Good towels, but no hand towels. Kitchen was was nice but dishes, towels , glasses and utensils were in short supply.
This was our third stay. We love the comfort of the house and the proximity to the beach!
3rd time staying. We love the comfort of this house and the proximity to the beach.
The house was adorable. The location was perfect. The owners were amazing to work with. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was stocked. We had a fantastic time and will be back!!
Was a fantastic weekend getaway with the family! Close to the beach and cute little restaurant and market for convenience
Really enjoyed our stay and loved the proximity to the beach and the deck space. Communication with the owner was very good. We weren’t left many towels by the cleaner and she took care of it right away, which we appreciated. I would suggest replacing all the sheets and bath towels - they were older and worn and new ones would be nice. Also suggest having the cleaners check the grill - it needed a really good scrubbing before we could use it. We’d stay here again!
