Chic Rio del Mar Oasis

Permit #241379

Located in the Rio Del Mar flats, this recently renovated Beach House is a 5 minute flat walk to the beach.

The kitchen, bathrooms, & bedrooms have all been recently renovated (see pictures). There are hardwood floors throughout the house. The upstairs features a King bed with a TV mounted on the wall. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs that include 1 Queen bed & 2 Full beds. There are 2 full bathrooms and one 1/2 bath.

The living room includes a 60" flat screen TV mounted over the fireplace with cable including a DVR & HBO. High speed internet is also available throughout the house. Each bedroom has their own TV.

In the garage, there is a regulation pool table with a 50" TV to keep everyone entertained. There are also beach chairs, umbrellas, a wagon, and a corn hole game.

The roof top deck has panoramic views of the Rio Del Mar area along with a peak of the ocean.

Guests will love the location of this home - Venus Restaurant is just down the street along with the famous Pixies Deli. Walk along the beach towards the cement boat & guests can venture up the outdoor stairs to the state parking lot just blocks away from Manual's (an excellent Mexican food restaurant with exceptional margaritas).

Aptos BBQ is just up the street from the house and has a phenomenal selection of local beers with top notch meats & salads (you might even be able to catch a local blues band on a Sunday night). In addition, there is a large wine bar across the street from Aptos BBQ.

The recently opened Hideout restaurant is a treat and is just a bit further down the Soquel road.

If you want to venture out a bit more, Capitola is just a couple miles up the road & has excellent boutique shopping and several restaurants along the beach. In addition, the Santa Cruz boardwalk is a very short drive & has entertainment for all (rides, games, surfing, biking, hiking, fishing, kayaking, scuba diving, etc.).

Monterey Bay with the renowned Aquarium and Cannery Row is just 40 minutes south. If you're ready for a beautiful drive, head north 90 minutes on the picturesque highway 1 and visit San Francisco.

* Please note parking in driveway. NO off street parking

Family Beach Holiday !

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here to be close to the kids for the holidays and wanted enough space to host a dinner. The pool table was a huge bonus and we all enjoyed having that ! Our older mom stayed with us so the downstairs tub was not ideal for her but otherwise we enjoyed the house and all the amenities. Spacious, comfortable beds, lots of seating and beautiful back yard.

This is a wonderful house! We had a great stay with everything we needed. The house is well stocked. The garage has everything you need for the beach, wagons, chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys for the kids. Along with the pool table and a corn hole game for the backyard. Just a short walk to beach. The crows nest on the roof was icing on the cake. The upstairs got a little warm in the afternoon on our 85degree day, but there was plenty of fans to cool down. The downstairs bedrooms do hear noise from people walking upstairs. But the tri levels allow alot of privacy. I still give this house 5 stars and highly recommend it!

A very nice Beach House

We rented this beach house to spend some time with my daughter and her family. The house is located a short walk from a very nice beach. There is a small creek that empties into the ocean at the beach, and my grandsons really enjoyed playing both on the beach and in the creek. The house is quite nice. There are a lot of stairs, so anyone who is infirm would do well to look elsewhere, but we enjoyed the views and the privacy that having multiple floors afforded. The garage is loaded with beach accessories (chairs, boogie boards, kites, assorted pails, shovels, and other sand toys), and a pool table. The house is located on a one-way street, and there is no on-street parking, but plenty of room for a couple of cars in the driveway. Suggestions: 1) It would be helpful to label the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen. 2) There was a sign in the kitchen, and a note in the property guide that stated that there is no off-street parking. I found this a bit confusing, as there was also verbiage that said that we should park in the driveway, which by definition is "off-street". Since there was no available space to park on the street, we assumed that the no off-street parking sign was an error. 3) House policy is that those staying in the house when garbage is collected should put the various bins out on the opposite side of the street on pick-up day. We found this a bit confusing, as the opposite side of the street was packed with parked cars. In our area, the bins need to be spaced apart on the street to allow a truck with an automated pick-up arm to empty them. We found that we could place our bins in front of other bins across the street, and apparently it wasn't a problem. We enjoyed our stay very much, and would not hesitate to recommend this property to others.
