Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Aptos

We were so pleasantly surprised by how adorable the town of Felton was! Kathleen's home was so close to the quaint downtown and also a short drive to the heart of Santa Cruz. We loved being surrounded by the gorgeous redwoods and so close to the State park. The home was plenty spacious for a family of four and provided all the basic necessities. We slept very comfortably and enjoyed our complimentary coffee on the back deck.

Great, serene spot. I'm sure it's wonderful in the summer time with the pool though we didn't use as weather was cold.

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!

small but functional kitchen. Oven was older and some of the heat helped warm the area, but the stove top worked great. Nice refrigerator. The fireplace was gas and wonderful, although took a bit to figure out how to get it to work. Beds were comfy, LOVED the location, the two bathrooms, enclosed backyard and easy walk to a beautiful, quiet and empty beach. Close to Santa Cruz and Capitola and all they have there.

came for a family trip and everything was exactly as pictured! we felt comfortable in the area and enjoy our stay!

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.

This spot was perfect for my weekend trip! Gorgeous view and serene little terrace backyard to sit and meditate in. So much space! There was even a little office. We came on a cold and rainy weekend and the little place was so cozy it was hard to go do fun things in town when we just wanted to stay 'home' and enjoy. I celebrated my grandbaby's first birthday two streets over and my dear friends 50th birthday weekend. All in all a great spot! Hoping to come back to this one!

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

Comfortable and clean spot for a family friendly beach vacation! Plus the view exceeded my expectations!

Maria Elena's studio apartment is perfect for two people. It is roomy and completely updated. The king size bed is comfortable and the mini-split heat/air conditioner is perfect for the changes in weather in San Jose. The neighborhood is peaceful, safe and walkable to a local grocery, coffee and restaurants. I recommend Maria Elena's apartment and will stay there again on my next trip to San Jose.

We had such a great stay here. The place was very clean and had directions for everything, which was helpfull. House was conveniently situated in the middle of all the activities we had on our agenda. Also, the binder in the home had some great suggestions on things to do in the Santa Cruz area, and we will definetely be doing some of those activities next time we come back!

We had to stay at Lawrence, for a week. And place was centrally located, clean, parking was ample. Thanks for hosting us.

very good host & house

Cecilia was always kind and responsive, promptly assisting whenever we had any questions or needed help. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped, including the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedding. We booked this place specifically for attending GTC 2025 at the San Jose Conference Center. Its proximity made it convenient for us to easily walk to the conference center. Highly recommended for groups attending conferences or events nearby.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful home with a great view! Very clean and homey. Matthew is also a great host with clear communication and very helpful instructions pre-check-in. We felt right at home when we arrived. The horses are also very friendly and my son loves petting them. All in all would definitely recommend!

This Hacienda was located on top of the Santa Cruz Mountains and was so majestic, peaceful and breathtaking. The house is welcoming and beautifully decorated. The view was incredible, watching the clouds and marine layer blanket over the trees. Each bedroom had comfy beds. Kitchen stock well with everything you need. Bathrooms clean. Heated floors were a nice touch. Sitting outside on various patio levels was magical. Felt like I was at retreat. Lisa was quick to respond. Our family loved staying here and getting away from city noise and hustle bustle. Thank you Lisa and Chris for sharing your home. This place is a real gem.

Jose and Gabriella’s beautiful home exceeded my already heightened expectations after reading the reviews. The pictures do not capture the thought and care they've poured into their property. The kitchen is the heart of this mountain home. It was clearly designed for function and entertaining, and the panoramic view of coastal redwoods was the perfect backdrop for both. It came comprehensively stocked with every imaginable appliance and gadget, including a refrigerator twice the standard size, two full-sized ovens, and a massive island that can comfortably seat ten people. Jose and Gabriella were the perfect hosts, attentive, genuine and pleasant to interact. Easily one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had. I wish I didn’t have to leave, but I look forward to returning soon.
