Located in picturesque Rio Del Mar, this charming home has been owned and
mindfully cared for by the same family since 1944. The third and fourth generations are
pleased to and for the first time offer their family vacation home for rental. This truly is a
much loved home, not just a place to stay.

The street level contains the living space, kitchen, and a queen bedroom. Six
stair steps down from street level, the second level has a large primary/master suite
with a full bath with tub, a smart TV [guests can stream from four sources using their
personal accounts], and a DVD player. This level also has a second full bath with large
stall shower and a bedroom with twin beds. Twelve further stair steps down, the third
level is a sitting room or twin bedroom for one person with a wash basin. From this
room, a doorway opens to a separate laundry room with toilet. Off the laundry room is a
small railed back porch.

While the kitchen is small, it is mighty and thoughtfully contains everything guests
might need to meet all their cooking needs. Wi-Fi is available throughout the house,
with modems in the living area and master bedroom. The living space contains a smart
TV with DISH service [guests can stream from multiple sources using their personal
accounts]. There is a bar available for guest use, fully stocked with glassware. There is
a mini-frig available in cupboard under TV for water/beverage storage.
Beach toys, some beach chairs, boogie boards, beach bags, several sand
umbrellas, and beach games are available for guest use, along with various board
games, jigsaw puzzles, and a personal library with many books about the area. The
patio has a table and chairs, flagpole, shade umbrella, four Adirondack chairs, and a
Weber charcoal barbeque.

This home is located just a short drive away from many exciting things to do and
see, as well as grocery stores, good restaurants, and other amenities. Best of all, the
beach itself is located a short walk away, as are a dinner restaurant and a great spot for
lunch.

Level 1: Bedroom 1: Queen
Level 2: Bedroom 2: 2 Twins Bedroom
Bedroom 3: King
Level 3: Twin

** Although the home sleeps 6, the living area/ kitchen are small and not large enough to accommodate all guests at once.

    We enjoyed our stay in this darling beachside cottage. It offered great beach access and plenty of room for the 6 of us. The kitchen was well appointed, the living area was comfortable and the beds were comfy and outfitted with cozy linens. Great shower too!

    Great location. Just a walk down to the beach, shops and restaurants. House was very charming and welcoming. We will definitely try to stay again when we come visit.

    This place was great! The view was awesome and we enjoyed the outdoor patio. The house had everything you could need. The street traffic got loud at times, but overall we loved this place!

    Very cute home that’s centrally located in Aptos. Well appointed - we had everything we needed. Easy check-in/out.One minor note: while there are two bathrooms, there is only one shower. The king bedroom has a bathroom with a toilet & bathtub only. The hall bathroom is the only one with a shower. Not the end of the world but it did require coordination for our party.

    It was a comfortable house but not as close to beach as we thought.

    This is a charming, older home that has been lovingly cared for. The upgrades were carefully chosen to blend with the original design of the house. There was a short but steep walk to the beach. The Aptos Creek trickles down, flowing along the beach where little ones safely play, escaping the waves of the ocean. The house had everything needed to make for a great vacay with family.
