Beach Front Paradise - Upscale Home

Permit #201384
It doesn't get any better than being directly on the sand with full views of the ocean from nearly every room. This rare location delivers a different kind of grounding energy, along with the sounds and smells that only an ocean front property can deliver.

The exquisite 3 bed, 2 bath home is perfectly remodeled with many modern conveniences. It has a beautiful open and airy floor plan with floor to ceiling sliding glass doors, radiant heat flooring, free Wi-Fi, and big screen digital TV's in the living room and master bedroom.

Located in the middle of "Rio Del Mar Island", you are greeted by the brand new open kitchen connected to the dining area and living room that walks right on to the slate patio, literally 10 feet from the sand. The wonderful patio is where you will find yourself mesmerized by the beauty of the ocean and imminent sunsets. Sit and relax while you watch the waves splash in front of your eyes, on many occasions you will see dolphins, whales, birds, seals and other marine mammals.

This well designed floor plan has custom built-in extra long twin bunk beds in the first floor bedroom with adjacent full bathroom. Walk up the staircase to the second level where you will find two large bedrooms and one full bathroom. The large master bedroom has a king size bed and offers full ocean views with a 5 x 20 ft sun deck. The second upstairs bedroom offers a queen size bed and full double closets. The second floor is also appointed with a washer and dryer.

You find yourself 10 seconds from the sand, a 3 minute walk to restaurants, convenience store, coffee, and the famed Pixie's Deli. Stroll on down the sand to Seacliff Beach 5 minutes north and the famous "Parallels" surf spot 5 minutes walk south.

The place was not very clean, there were no kitchen towels, 1 dishwasher pod and the pots& pans are limited and only large skillet is old and grundgy The kitchen sink water does NOT get hot or even warm. Carpets need to be cleaned; chairs on upstairs balcony were filthy- unusable The kitchen table set up is not functional/uncomfortable for even 4 adults Patio table was not cleaned. Lights are hard to figure out We left the washed dishes and silverware better organized and cleaner when we left. Also the couch is leaking feathers, pillows looked like they needed to be washed Unfortunately we thought this place was advertised as a better place than we’ve stayed before 2 doors down, but were very disappointed.

I loved this property and even got to speak to the owner at one point. Very sweet owners! They had a new property manager and there were a couple of glitches with communication, but overall an amazing place to stay!

Clean, comfortable stay!
We absolutely loved this property. It was clean and comfortable. The perfect place for our family to spend a weekend at the beach. The owner was responsive and friendly and the house was perfect. Our kids are going to be so disappointed not to sleep to the sounds of the waves when we get home.

Comfortable stay
We had a very comfortable stay here. The communication with Denise and Danielle was prompt and thorough. The beach is literally steps from the back door and was great for playing beach games and throwing a ball around. The beds and furniture are all very comfortable. We were able to watch Xfinity TV and sign into apps on the TVs. My only criticism is the bathrooms didn't have a hook for a robe or a place in the shower to put soap, but we made it work, not a deal breaker. We loved our stay!

We loved your home. It was just what a beach house getaway should be. The floors that heat were the biggest blessing. The bedrooms were roomy, the only comment would be that the bunk beds are for kids only as the beds were a little hard, BUT your couch made a perfect place. Your pigeon neighbor is named Priscilla as we found out she has eggs. Pedro her partner monitors here. Thank you so much for the opportunity to share.

Great beachfront getaway with amazing ocean views
Perfect beach location & amazing ocean views. Easy walk to cafe & market too. The home is clean, comfy & furnished well. Bunk room is very tiny & we were surprised the walking path was right at the edge of our patio but perfect in every other way. With great hosts & peaceful stay we would book again . Thank you for a great sharing your home with us

House was clean and had everything we needed. Did not realize the beach towels and body boards were in the closet of the room downstairs until the last day of the trip. But definitely loved the home, the location , and the family games provided. Would definitely stay here again.

Can't get any closer to the beach!
We had a wonderful stay at this property in Aptos. Right on the beach, made watching the kids while they played on the beach really easy (we sat on the porch watching them). The kitchen is well stocked and the grill is nice and big. The location made it easy to take day trips to San Francisco, Monterey, the redwoods, and all of the different beaches along the coast. The hosts were great, checking in with us to be sure everything was as expected. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a wonderful west coast adventure!
