Rio Del Mar stay
My recent stay at this vacation rental presented a mixed bag of experiences that ranged from the excellent to the disappointing. On the positive side, the location of the rental couldn’t be more ideal. It offered convenient parking options, which is a significant plus for travelers coming by car. Moreover, its proximity to the beach was simply superb, allowing for easy access to seaside activities and the soothing sound of waves at night.However, the experience began to falter when it came to basic amenities and the overall state of the rental. We were provided with a mere three rolls of toilet paper for a week's stay, which was insufficient for our needs. Additionally, the kitchen was equipped with only two hand towels for the entire week, which felt inadequate for daily kitchen activities. The rental was dotted with no-smoking signs, which, while understandable, contributed to a less welcoming atmosphere.A significant letdown was the state of the furnishings, which appeared to have not been updated in around 40 years. This gave the interior an outdated feel that detracted from the overall comfort and aesthetic appeal of the place.While the location and certain conveniences were highlights of our stay, the lack of basic amenities and the dated furnishings were disappointing. It's clear that the rental could benefit greatly from some updates and improvements. As it stands, I find it difficult to recommend this property. For future guests, this place could be a gem with its st

This property is located in a great area. We were able to hear the ocean throughout the home. Their cleaning crew needs to be more thorough as many areas needed cleaning. Overall, our stay was very enjoyable.

Amazing location and good base for exploring the area
The apartment was an ideal base for exploring the coast. We had a car so it is located to promptly get on the 1 or reach local shops and restaurants etc. Space wise it was plentiful for a weeks stay, and we loved watching the sunrise and sunset from the balcony. It truly is the highlight of the property. We appreciated the decor may not be to our style and the property to be dated as per previous reviews, but that this was reflected in the price point. However there are a few small things which would not be much investment which would make the apartment even better; - Pillows - there were 2 thin lumpy pillows for 2 people. I found similar pillows in the wardrobe but no pillow cases so they could not be used. I don't think it would be much to buy 4 decent pillows for the double bed. - There was a random assortment of beach items in the living room cupboard as if left by previous guests. Only 1 lightweight beach chair though. Considering an apartment which can sleep 4, even 2 beach chairs would be much appreciated. The other mats also had holes in them. - TV - the tv in the living room is older and as such channels are pixelated as it cannot display a good picture. We could not watch it in evenings as it hurt our eyes. Again a small investment for much more quality offering. Overall the apartment seemed relatively clean with just a few callout points. We didn't use any crockery or glassware without washing them as most were not clean, there was even lipstick on some glasses. The bath/ shower could have been cleaner, in particular the mat within the shower. Finally the floors, we did not wear shoes in the apartment (as we wouldn't at home but also as per the many notes about this) yet even on day 1 our feet / socks became dirty quickly. I can only assume this had been swept but not mopped. We completely appreciate investment required to modernise a property, but think some small tweaks could make it an even better holiday rental.

Great view and location, but kinda old and dated
Great views and proximity to the beach! We slept on the pull out sofa so we could hear the ocean! The property manager was very friendly and helpful. It is an older property and could use a few updates but overall was clean and comfortable. Onsite parking right in front of the door is a huge plus also

Excellent location on Monterey Bay
The best thing about this unit was the location...right in the center of what we wanted to see and do. Also, it was quiet and peaceful with a view of the ocean. We would return.

Tiny in Paradise
The apartment was tiny but, clean. Bed was hard as a rock, stove larger burner didn’t work. Heater didn’t work so the apartment was cold all the time. Instructions were not understandable which made the vacation difficult.

I think that your description says it all: clean and comfortable.
This property is a little dated and run down, but still easy to access and has everything that two people would need for a short stay. Also very well located - 15 minutes to Capitola and Santa Cruz and 30 minutes from Monterey / Carmel. View of the ocean is beautiful, but you also look out at the hot-tar-finish roof tops of the adjacent units and cannot actually see the beach. the wall paper is curling at the seams in the bathroom, but it was clean and the linens were fresh and clean. We would stay here again in a pinch.

Dirty unit in a state of disrepair
Our unit was dirty when we arrived. Taped up window coverings and dirty silverware and pans i.e.: I pulled out a pan to do some cooking and found dried up food stuck to the bottom. The bathroom and kitchen small rugs were old and dirty. The management company promptly had them washed and gave us a new throw rug. There was dust and mold buildup inside the shower doors. All in all we left the unit cleaner than we found it. There was a lamp that was taped together.

Great location
The condo is very nice. It has a slightly obstructed view of the water bit still plenty of wide open ocean to view. It was very quite and had all the comforts of home. It is centrally located, you can walk to the beach, deli, restaurants and small grocery store. It is a short drive to Santa Cruz, Capitola and Watsonville. Easy accesses to Whale Watching, hiking and water sports.
