A home away from home nestled in the cozy beach town of Aptos. A few minutes away from the beach. Rio Del Mar is my personal favorite. Beautiful property. There is another unit attached to the house with people living in it but they’re not a bother and if you walk your dog around just beware the coast has poison oak everywhere. Property has all the amenities you could need. Will hopefully be returning in the future!!!

We really enjoyed staying at this property. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a family of three plus one golden retriever. The kitchen was well-stocked with all of the cooking essentials and it was great to be able to make some low-effort meals on nights that we were tired! It was also nice that my son had his own room and Aptos was near so many great locations to see, plus dog-friendly beaches and restaurants!

We checked in July and it was very easy. The property was very nice, comfortable and great for pets. The host was on property at the time and was helpful and available (and had a great dog too). When we return to Aptos, we will definitely rent this property again.
