Our stay was exceptional! This home is well suited for families, even those with young children. Our kiddos had a blast running around the backyard. The house itself was clean and cozy. The host has everything you need for a fun day at the beach (7-10 minute walk). Aptos is an absolute delight. We cannot wait to come back!

A superbly designed living space. The kitchen was a delight to use. The outdoor patios were expansive and convenient. Returning from the beach was a breeze with the outdoor shower with hot water. The enclosed backyard was excellent for a little toddler running around. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The furnishing had taste and function.

Mom's visit to CA

Took my mom out to CA to visit my brother. He hasnt been so fortunate and she is 85, but she wanted to see him, as it's been a while. The house was a perfect setting to sit around and share memories, as well as close proximity to the beach and icecream!

Aptos Ocean Oasis

Just down the PCH from Capitola and Santa Cruz, the Kennedy Beach House felt like our home away from home for spring break. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces and fully - stocked home. It was the perfect location along the coast with easy access to the valley and ocean beaches.

Perfect Spot

Great location and clean property was great for our trip to the area. We stayed there to take advantage of Henry Cowell State Park, Calla Lilly Valley (in season), dinner at Shadow Brook with transportation via a 65 checker cab and an afternoon strolling Carmel by the Sea. The property was clean, outdoor area was great and would stay agin (we frequent the area).

Lovely home in quiet beach community

Tidy home in a quiet neighborhood, and the location is convenient to everything: beach walks, redwood hikes, shopping errands in town, and quick trips into Capitola and Santa Cruz. Extra pluses: well-stocked kitchen, multiple sunny patios, Golden Poppy Pass for free admission to California state parks, and the gas fireplace really warms the place up on chilly nights. The quietness of the neighborhood is the most amazing thing, though. I don't think I've ever experienced quieter conditions in a popular beachside location.

Amazing beach house in an amazing location

Wonderful beach house in Aptos! I have absolutely nothing negative to report. My mom (77 yrs old) and I stayed for 3 nights. We celebrated a late Xmas with my 2 adult sons and their wives. We brought our traditional Ukrainian Xmas food and the kitchen was PERFECT for us to serve our dinner. Super comfy living room with a warm gas fireplace that heated the house perfectly. The 6 of us sat comfortably around the large island/bar for dinner. The outside area, both front and back was impressive and super accommodating for a summer stay (which we will definitely be back for).Also, I must mention the beds were very comfortable; my Mom stating it was the most comfortable bed she’s ever slept on! (We will be replacing her current mattress to match the one here at this house!)Thank you Colm and Stephanie for making your lovely beach home available for others to enjoy.
