I stayed with my two children and baby in Louise's rental. We had the time of our lives. The rental was very comfortable for my children and I. We either ate or prepared all meals there. And, it was big enough that we had enough room for all of our stuff for two weeks and space to relax and hang out in the evenings. The only thing I would say to be aware of is that when staying downstairs, you can hear everything with the upstairs neighbors, so if they are loud, it can be a bit of a challenge. And, it's not baby-proofed if you have a baby. The beach is a very walkable 2 1/2 blocks or so away. Louise provides all beach toys, boogie boards, sliders, etc. And, Louise herself is very kind and down to Earth. As for the beach, the sand was nice and soft, lots of room, lots of kids around to play with, great surf, lots of wonderful wildlife (dolphins, seals, sea birds), bathrooms, and fire pits. We had a blast! Thanks so much, Louise! We will never forget our time in Aptos!!

Homeowner Response:
I'm really glad you had a great time! I do apologize for the noise from upstairs. It has not been a problem in the past but we are looking into changing the type of flooring in the upper unit so it does not become consistent problem. As for baby proofing, it's hard to do as I have a variety of guests staying at the house. That being said, I would be happy to accomodate any needs any one has while they are staying (ie. having outlet covers available). So, don't be afraid to ask for anything! Thanks!

| This rental was my familys first experience and it was a great one. Everything was so clean. The owner made the transaction so easy. The rental is close everything, the beach, shops, and of course the boardwalk. I have to stress how clean the rental was, we usually take our own pillows and blankets to use, but I was highly satisfied with the linens. No worries whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this rental to everyone. Thanks Louise. |

| Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your home with us! We had a fantastic time and there truly was everything we needed in the home. We loved to walk to the beach, and went to the boardwalk another day. We hope to use it again in the future. What a nice little town Aptos is, we ate in Capitola one night at casa rositas, (Man, they give you a lot of food, it is good too. ) We ate at Rivas on the SC wharf yesterday, great chowder and fish and chips and prices. We have very good friends in Felton, so this is close enough to visit them. |

| We stayed here in the upper unit of this building in October of 2008. We had a wonderful time and loved the property. It was a short walk to the beach and short drive to Santa Cruz with lots of great restaurants and shops. It was the perfect location for our trip to the Central Coast. The apartment was comfortable, clean and spacious. The town of Aptos was so cute and quiet, we loved it there. We actually got engaged while on this trip so it will always have a special memory for us. We would love to come back someday! |

Thanks Louise, It was absolutely lovely. Your place is decorated really nicely and was very comfy and so close to the beach- it was perfect. The beds were great, and even the pullout was super-comfy!!
It was really quiet inside the condo too even though there was a lot going on in the street!! |

| We stayed in the bottom unit for almost a week. the location was wonderful - walking to the beach every morning was easy and enjoyable. the unit was very clean and the neighborhood was surprisingly quiet. the kitchen had everything necessary for an enjoyable stay. My only complaint was that the ceiling/upstairs floor was squeaky, so the guests above were noticeable. Even so, I'd stay here again in a heartbeat because of the great location! |

| We spent a long week July 25-28, 2008 and were very pleased with the 2 bedroom, upstairs unit. The unit is very spacious and clean! Everything you need is there, even beach chairs, umbrella, toys, etc. So, So, So much better than the Rio Sands across the street! The beach was close enough to walk with our 4 yr old and the unit was very child friendly. Stairs were easy to navigate. Unit was so quiet at night. We loved it and will be back! |

| Very accomodating owners. Clean property. Perfect beach property for small family or two couples. We had two small children and it was the perfect property for us. Great access to Rio Del Mar Beach-easily walkable. In a very cute beach neighborhood with great restaurants and coffee houses. We would definitely go back! |

| My family and I spent 5 days in this unit and we couldn't have asked for a better VRBO experience. The unit was very clean and nicely furnished. I have 2 children under the age of 5 and the beach was a short walk (even for a pregnant mom with 2 kids:) and everything in the unit was very "kid" friendly. Thank you! |

| We enjoyed our stay in this darling unit. Very clean and newly decorated with everything we needed. The level lot and short walk to the beach made it a perfect vacation spot for my two small grandaughters. |
