  First off I would like to thank the folks at Cheshire Rio for and the owners of 301 Beach Drive for coming through for us when our reservations at 303 Beach Drive had to be cancelled due to necessary work that need to be done on the unit. Cheshire Rio has never let us down. It's my "go to" rental agency in this area!
  This is a very comfortable unit with large bedrooms that can easily accommodate a pack-n-play or port-a-crib (for those of you who may have infants or small toddlers.) The bunk room is great for older children to hang out, watch their movies, and sleep. The newer vinyl flooring makes it easy to keep things clean. The Huge garage provides plenty of parking and having a second refrigerator in the garage was extremely helpful. I would say that this unit could benefit from mounting the TV on the wall or above the fireplace. It's difficult to see if anyone is seated at the round table in front of the sectional (that was our jig saw puzzle table so there was always a head or two in the way of TV viewing. Although there were plenty of drinking glasses they are all the same size (pint beer glasses.) A few smaller cocktail glasses would be nice. Also there are only a few wine glasses and coffee mugs. You must also be very careful of the counter tops as they are made of Formica and easily burn or stain. We have stayed in this unit before as well as 303 Beach Drive and love the layout of both (they are identical floor plans.) We will be back.

  The rental experience was professional and friendly. The rental property itself has some shortcomings. There was no power to the lights and wall sockents in the master bedroom vanity. The nightstand bulb in that bedroom was also burned out. Both screen doors are in need of repair. The TV on the fireplace is small and at sitting height obstructing the view. Needs to be hung high on the fireplace and replaced with a larger TV. Wine glasses need upgrading and need to add cocktail glasses. There was no broom. White chair in the living room is old and needs replacing.

  Lisa W from Olympia, WA recommends this vacation rental

  This home is directly across from the beach with the added benefit of a 2 car garage, washer/dryer, beach toys, beach chairs and beach umbrella. The amenities were as advertised, the linens plentiful, and the home was clean. I would recommend they stock cleaning supplies, mop, etc., as a week is a long time with little kids and windows and spills to manage.
  The beds were very comfortable and there's loads of cupboards, with some games for kids and kids at heart. There's a BBQ on the back patio and lots of outdoor furniture for all. Heads up, the internet is very spotty. My son lives locally and said he always gets calls dropped at this bend of Beach Dr., it's not because of the rental. I love this beach. It's not busy or overused. There are little stores just up the way for incidentals.

  This is our second time staying in this same rental and are very pleased! Clean and open living room with a nice sized patio out looking the ocean. The wall to the beach is less than 5 min (just across the street). Customer service has always been exceptional and even allowed us to check in early. Love!

  a guest from Escalon, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We had a great week staying at this rental. The location couldn’t have been any better. It truly is just steps away from the beach! It was VERY doable for my older mother, and it was great for young kids who can’t wait to get to the water each day. The rental was furnished modestly in good taste. The kitchen does show its age; the cabinets are original and the appliances are older. The counter top was not in top shape. For us, the location outweighed a modern kitchen, but I think it is worth noting. The washer and dryer are also older, and they are housed in a run down closet area in the garage. There were two nice decks to sit on; one overlooks the mountainside and the other the beach. Management delivered a gas BBQ during our stay. If you are looking for a place to unwind, and you aren’t looking for a super modern, updated place, I think you would find yourselves happy here.

  In our first hour awake, we saw a pod of dolphins just 100 yards away. We have stayed here before because of the location. This trip didn’t disappoint until we woke on check out day to find that an intruder had gained access to the garage through the manual garage door. I made a report with law enforcement, who confirmed that they had also gotten our neighbors. Sad reality, even in Aptos!

  Perfect location, beautiful home, kitchen well stocked with plenty of room to unpack your food supplies, etc. Very clean. Bathrooms stocked with plenty of towels for everyone (should you have a large group) er told told that some new furniture has been ordered, so it will be even better. The convenience of multi car garage is a bonus.. they had nice beach chairs. They thought of everything. Will definitely stay there again.

  The house was very nice and clean. We enjoyed our stay very much. We did run into some issues with noisy neighbors which was exacerbated by the closeness of out rental to the neighbors (attached). We also had several issues with the pictures completely going out on the TV. Cheshire was helpful but not able to ultimately solve the TV issue completely.
