Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb. Sean was extremely communicative and clear and the photos matched our stay experience. Their home was clean, organized, and equipped for a comfortable stay. Sean's place is especially child friendly. We had a 2 year old and an infant, and both were extremely comfortable. Our 2 year old loved the playset in the backyard as well as the toys and books that were available in the home. The kitchen was also equipped to make a simple breakfast, which we did on both days that we stayed. The beds and rooms were extremely comfortable and Sean offered a variety of pillows to ensure that there was one suitable for different types of people. It was very convenient to go to local cafes, downtown Monterey, the beach, and the aquarium as well. Overall, would highly recommend Sean's place for all future stays.

We had a great stay. Hosts were extremely responsive. We asked for extra blankets so the kids could use the trundle bed and they responded right away and dropped off blankets within 30 minutes. Enjoyed the layout and the hot tub too, as well as got some great tips about local mountain biking trails. Location just 10 min walk from a beach (Two-six) for sunset views was the cherry on top. Thanks!

Michelle’s home was perfect for our weekend getaway in Capitola! The house layout and size was great for our group, and we especially loved the layout of the top floor with the bunk beds. It was also conveniently located right next to all the Capitola village shops, and we enjoyed a beautiful sunrise walk to the beach in the morning. Michelle’s place is a must for any Capitola trip with friends!

The Beach House was exactly as described - tastefully remodeled while retaining the classic Aptos Beach bungalow vibe. Very thoughtfully prepared with outdoor games and items you would need for a beach getaway. The outdoor area and backyard are cleverly organized for everything you would want. I just wish we could have stayed longer (and had warmer weather!). Lots of great information in the folder for things to do and places to eat. Kudos!!

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.

Great location. The house has huge space and very comfy. The host is also super responsive and helpful.

Came to the Bay Area for my sister surgery down at good Samaritan . Which was only five minutes away. This house was perfect for 3 adults. all bed are comfortable and the fact that they were king size beds all three was a plus. House was super clean and looked like the pictures. It's a corner house next to a main Street so I appreciate the fact that they had earplugs if you're a light sleeper. We will be back.

10 min from Monterey. close to bayonet black horse. nice rooms for multiple couples

Totally worth every penny. 2.5 baths were very helpful for 6 people. Neat rooms. Very organized. Laundry pods dishwasher pods were also provided. Very thoughtful of what is needed. Made us want to return to airbnb after a tiring day. I think that is all you need when you are away from home.

Thank you for opening this wonderful home for us to stay. It was spotless, comfortable and a wonderful spot to cozy away in the rain and soak up the sun a few days later. Appreciated the easy parking and outdoor deck-with space to store a surfboard. It was a perfect getaway for this newly empty-nester couple and now our new favorite spot!

This place is fabulous and worth what we paid for the location. The decor, especially the kitchen was very appealing. We particularly enjoyed the space to move around and abundant seating. The parking is as described, very specific and tight, as are all parking spots on this very charming street. More parking is available on the next street over and walkable to the unit.

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!

We had a fantastic stay here! Beautiful property in every way. Upscale fixtures, appliances, countertops, shower, tv, etc. Everything modern and up-to-date and mint condition. Super comfortable beds and lots of space. We loved it and would absolutely come back!

Well-stocked, simply furnished bungalow-type attached residence in the Seabright neighborhood, convenient to the northeastern residential sections of Santa Cruz and to supermarkets and natural food stores. Many new, easy-to-operate small appliances and good laundry set-up. Ample kitchenware and condiments. Quiet city surroundings, easy parking. Overall, staying at the unit (and interacting with owner) was a pleasure.

Cute place with an old-fashioned feel. We enjoyed our stay.

Matthew is a great host. It was very easy to park in front of his property and the check in process was straightforward. His place is private and away from the crowd while it is only 10 mins of beautiful walk along the coast to get to the boardwalk. I'd stay at his place again when I visit Santa Cruz. Highly recommend!

Amazing views of the Pajaro River and the ocean. Perfect place for wildlife viewing. We enjoyed the comfortable seating area with panoramic coastline views through the large picture windows. There's also a nice deck attached to the living room and master bedroom.

This was the cleanest AirBnB we've ever stayed in! Pristine! Tidy! Stunning ocean views from both the living room & primary bedroom. The entire villa has been remodeled yet still has the Old World Charm and coziness. This Villa is located on the 2nd floor of North Bluff - is very private - has a pool jacuzzi just steps away. The resort offers many amenities, restaurant, bar, room service (or pick up) massage, sauna - endless. Aptos Village is right across the street - walking distance offering many shops, market and a great place for pizza and Italian food. We will definitely stay with Sue again - as soon as we can! Next time, we'll try her other property #33. Sue is a GREAT hostess in every area and has earned Super Host many times over!

What a lovely place with stunning views. Appointed to the highest level with a wellstocked kitchen. Lots of food options to eat within only a few minutes walk from the penthouse. Two ways to access the place via back gate with security code or through front door and elevator If you prefer a very dark bedroom/s you won’t get that here so luckily I had my eyepatch to knock me out. You might pay a pretty penny for this place, but you will definitely notice it better than just about anything you could ever hope to find

We really enjoyed our stay at Marc’s lovely beach rental. Everything was as described, Marc sent clear messages regarding check in and necessities provided. Location was central to a lot of the day trips we had planned, (Monterey Bay Aquarium, Carmel/Point Lobos, and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk), but still off the beaten path offering a restful private retreat. My daughter enjoyed riding her bike around the pond path. Marc offered a very nice assortment of beach gear and toys. The beds were better than most, and I appreciated the queen/twin combo room instead of a typical twin/twin offering in the second bedroom. I really appreciated the well stocked kitchen, sharp knives and pantry basics. In the future I would pack a few pans since the non stick cookware was pretty beat. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend.

Loved this place! Right by Capitola wharf so it was super easy to walk downtown for dinner and shopping. The apartment was bigger than I expected, super clean, and had everything we needed. Jennifer was very helpful and got back to us right away when we had questions. Definitely staying here again next time we visit!

Staying at Seascape was the perfect kid-friendly vacation. The pool was easy to access from our condo and the views were beautiful. The condo's set-up with two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and a half bath downstairs was great for our family of 5. The private beach was beautiful - we saw otters, whales, and my son found two perfect sand dollars walking down the beach. It was a little bit of a trek to get down to the beach with three little kids and all the beach gear, but once we were there no one wanted to leave. Several near-by restaurants were delicious, especially the newly opened Dos Pescados. It was fairly easy to get into Santa Cruz too, but we did have to time traffic or it would double the drive time (to almost 45 minutes).

We liked this place so much that we returned for the second year for our winter getaway. The space is ample for a couple and the furnishings very comfortable. There are restaurants and coffee shops in easy walking distance and the beach is also just two blocks away. Aaron is always ready to help

Beautiful little place, with picturesque views of the Pacific Ocean and natural landscaping. Clean, comfortable and easy access. Lots of security that patrolled day and night, which is nice. Fine dining restaurant is within walking distance.
