Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Aptos

Sara was the one of the most welcoming and generous Airbnb hosts we’ve ever had. The home was immaculately clean, her instructions were detailed and gave us all the info we needed, her communication with us was kind and prompt, the hot tub was clean and cozy. Sara gave us lots of referrals for local shops and restaurants, and she provided a thoughtful welcome gift. We were also impressed with/grateful for Sara allowing our dogs to relax on the couches! We were particularly appreciative that Sara was completely understanding about/accommodating of our reactive dog, which put us at ease and helped us enjoy our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and cute, and we were very close to a beach for our dogs. Thank you Sara for an excellent weekend getaway! We can’t recommend you and your home enough!

What an amazing place! It was truly a great home to stay in, in such a beautiful town. Would recommend to anyone I can haha!

This home is extremely well appointed, steps from the beach and has everything one could need for a relaxing beach vacation. The added items the host leaves for guests is very thoughtful. Will go back again!

Our stay at Sean's place was outstanding! The accommodation was beautifully designed, with all the comforts of home. Sean was a responsible and attentive host, ensuring I had everything I needed throughout my stay. I highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a top-notch experience. Thank you, Sean, for your hospitality—I can't wait to visit again!

I always choose to stay at Emrehans when I need a place near San Jose. Very beautiful, clean home/yard, great location. Emrehan communicates well and has been very accommodating to me. Very good price for the stay. Would recommend.

We have stayed at many Airbnb’s and this is now one of our favorite. So clean and neat! Not a lot of clutter so there was plenty of space for our things. Vic and Leanne obviously take great pride in their property and accommodating their guests. Everything you could want was waiting for us, including coffee and creamers. Much appreciated! And we never realized what a luxury heated bathroom floors were! You cannot go wrong choosing this property. Highly recommended!

First off the photos don’t do this house justice. The spaces, including that wonderful balcony, are bigger than you think. We had 7 adults, a toddler & an infant and we didn’t feel cramped at all. The beds, linens and pillows were so comfy, the multitude of windows to let the ocean air breeze come through, along with fans in the bedrooms, were perfect. The kitchen was the most well equipped I’ve used in an Airbnb before. The wagon, chairs and beach towels were also so nice to have for the short one block walk to Black Beach (one of my favorites in Santa Cruz). Oh and do not let the 1 full bathroom for everyone scare you off. Having the 2 half baths made it all work and we never had an issue. My family LOVED this place and wants to come back so very much. We have spent 26 years coming to Santa Cruz almost annually and this was our best residential experience yet. Thank you to Kim and her Rental Mgr, Nancy, for taking care of us and communicating so well. This family highly recommends!

Fantastic airbnb and a great location. easy walk to 41st Ave for coffee, food and shopping. We also walked to Capitola, east cliff drive and the beach. Cute backyard, fully fenced, great for our little dogs. We also enjoyed the sauna, comfy living room with a nice TV, board games, and a record player with lots of albums to choose from.

Review for Tara and Marcus's Place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our stay at Tara and Marcus's place was absolutely amazing! The view from the living room window was breathtaking—definitely a highlight of our trip. Tara and Marcus were fantastic hosts, always accommodating our needs and ensuring we felt at home. The space was not only comfortable and clean but also perfectly located right in the middle of everything we wanted to explore. The bed was incredibly cozy, making it hard to get up in the morning! We truly wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you so much, Tara and Marcus, for making our stay so special. We can’t wait to come back!

Such a lovely and peaceful retreat. Steps to the beach. Howard was excellent with communication. Highly recommended

John's place is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. The living room offers a spectacular ocean view, creating a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The décor is simple, modern, and tasteful. The home is well-stocked with all essential toiletries, making our stay comfortable and convenient. We especially appreciated the thoughtful welcome gift of wine and popcorn. Every detail reflects John's attentiveness and hospitality. We highly recommend his place!

What a great spot! Much bigger and has a much better layout than the photos lead on. It's our new favorite spot in SV

Ben was super responsive. The batteries died on the fireplace and when we let Ben know that we were cold, he immediately came down to bring us a space heater and replace the batteries on the fireplace. We were warm and cozy after that. There were movies, cards, and games to play, which our son really enjoyed. I really liked the selection of herbs available for cooking. Thanks for a great stay, Ben!

This place is perfect for a couple, well equipped kitchen, nice appliances and very nice layout. It is convenient to walk to bakery, fruits/vegetable stores and many interesting restaurants, not mention it is very close to many Apple offices. Lawrence is the best host. He is very responsive and proactive. Before he goes on vacation, he would let us know and ask if there is anything we might need while he is not around. In case that he can not deliver what we asked for, he will inform us and let us know when he will have them delivered. It has been a very pleasant stay at Lawrence's place.

My team and I stayed here for the week. The hosts were very responsive the couple of times we needed to communicate. The hose was very clean and well maintained. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Fantastic stay at Cecilia's. I would happily book again

The home was clean and very spacious. I was concerned about the cold weather but the house was so cozy. The pool was so close to us and very clean. The hot tub was wonderful. I loved that the home was so close to the water and we could hear the waves crashing. Everything about the home was amazing.

Excellent stay , beautiful and very clean home . Lijun is super fast in responding to queries.

Beautiful house in a quiet relaxing atmosphere. Sitting outside reading listening to the water flow past was wonderful. Would definitely stay again just to relax and read books all day.

A minor issue with our original reservation was quickly resolved by the PowerWest Team. They responded immediately and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and had a perfect trip. The unit is a beautiful, well equipped condo with spectacular ocean front views. We will definitely visit again and stay with PowerWest.

We've been coming to Seascape for over 20 years now and this was one of the better locations for our family. It had grass access and beautiful ocean views. The kids loved the little seating area. Overall the location and space was everything we needed and more.

My friends and I took a long weekend trip to Boulder Creek and were able to enjoy a lovely weekend in the mountains. T Each of the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and the living area was perfect for all of us to spend time and play games. Location is great - you can walk right to the main street of Boulder Creek. The hosts were lovely and friendly - even gifted us a bottle of wine for our engagement which was incredibly sweet! We’re excited to come back again for another weekend couples trip!

What a gem! We had a wonderful time at Steve’s house. The house is beautiful, functional and well decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed plus more. The property itself was incredible - private and peaceful with many activities for kids (and adults). The house is also ideally located close to downtown Los Gatos. Quick and kind responses from our host. We will definitely try and stay here again.

Beautiful views! Our family enjoyed our stay and the main floor layout was perfect for our extended family's get together. The pool table, foosball table and games were loved by adults and kids alike. A few family members did get car sick on the way to the house though (not the fault of the house or host by any means), so just be aware that it is a windy road to get up there.
