Family getaway

This house was perfect for us. Having 2 separate living areas was great. The kids could have their own space and not be bothered by adults. The view from the deck was great. We would definitely stay here again.

Absolute gem with one minor caveat

This place is amazing, with sweeping views, tons of natural light and lots of space for a big family. The surrounding trees are also really lovely, it feels like you are in a luxury tree house. Our only disappointment was the traffic noise. We hadn't realized how close it was to the freeway. You can't see it at all, but you will hear it.

A gem in Aptos!

If you are wondering whether to book a stay at this Aptos home, the answer should be "Yes"! We were 6 adults in our 40s and 50s traveling together for a birthday, and were so pleased with the property. First, the location is perfect--about a 3 minute drive to the beach, less than 10 minutes to groceries, coffee, restaurants; 15 minutes to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk; 30 minutes to Monterey. The house itself is beautiful--we loved the art, the views from EVERY window (including in all of the bedrooms), the decks, the double living rooms, and an amazing kitchen with more than you could possibly need for cooking. That kitchen really is a big deal--not only is it roomy and beautiful with great views, but it is ready for groups like ours that want to cook together. The bedrooms are spread out so that everyone has privacy, and everyone has their own bathroom. Even the neighborhood where this house is located is idyllic with other lovely yards and homes, and a great feel. I will not hesitate to book Jody's house again in the future. It was a truly unique and lovely home that was great both as a jumping off point to local attractions, as well as to hunker down and enjoy time with family and friends.

Spacious relaxing family time

The property had great space for us and our adult children to spend time together at the kitchen table, living room, decks, and using the bocce ball court, and also allowed separation with the 2 BR/2bath, and living room downstairs for the kids to play video games and watch TV. The location was a 10 min walk to the beach, and 15 min drive to Capitola and Santa Cruz, and close to Hwy 1 to go to Henry Cowell State park. The house had great kitchen and supplies for cooking and having a few drinks. My only suggestion would be for maybe a new beds. Beds were really soft, so didn't sleep well. With new mattress, I would stay here again and highly recommend this property. Thanks for the making our vacation great. P&T Smith from Nebraska.
