  We have rented 347 Beach Dr. In Aptos for over 20 years and this property is just perfect for our group. The property has made many new improvements year after year which continues to enhance our experience. The property is immaculate and the ocean views are amazing. I would highly recommend this property. Cheshire Rio Properties does a great job of making sure our experience is perfect!!!

  There is just something spectacular about hearing and seeing the ocean waves...a sense of peace and tranquillity. Our family vacation was spent enjoying all of that and so much more! We had whales breaching, dolphins and seals swimming close to shore and enjoyed many afternoons on the beach.

  We had the best time at this rental. it was clean and had everything you need for a great stay by the beach. Two things to note: firstly we had hoped to BBQ with friends during our stay however the BBQ is old and does not look functional; second, it was pretty difficult to work from here the WiFi really needs updating. Would definitely stay here again.

  We have been renting on Beach Drive for over 20 years. We always have a very good experience with Cheshire Rio property management company. They are friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and helpful!.
  As you will see from my comments, our stay was perfect! Recently, the only problem I have had is the price increase and the change in high season versus off-season rates. ( including Sept in high season) I am feeling as though your middle class customers are getting out priced.

  This was the third year for us to spend a family vacation in Aptos and every year it just keeps getting better! This home offers the perfect layout for everyone to have their own space yet enjoy gathering on the second level. Beautiful view of the ocean, stylish and comfortable furnishings, well maintained and amply supplied with kitchen appliances, dishes, glassware and so much more! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful home! Our vacation was one to remember.

  House is great location. We love it. It does appear that it could use some update to the queen bed. It is sagging to the right. We also found 2 shirts between the bed and the sheets in the downstairs room and some hair left in one of the bathroom drains. Over all a great time and experience just a little tlc care on cleaning and beds is all. Will defiantly be back again going on year 36 plus with Cheshire Rio

  a guest from Aptos, ca recommends this vacation rental

  This property if beautiful and the location on Beach Drive can't be beat. It was clean and we loved that there was parking available at the house, as it can be difficult to find on the beach occasionally. When we arrived, we noticed several aspects of the home that needed repair (hinges/cabinets loose/off the hinges, broken trash compactor, drawers out of alignment/difficult to access). When we called Cheshire Rio, they knew about some of these issues already, but seemed not to have any plan to correct them. Overall, their customer service was very casual and a bit unprofessional, like when I walked in to drop off the key and not one person in the office was wearing a a mask, and they didn't try to find one after my arrival. The home is beautiful and in a great location, though the management could use some upkeep.

  Overall, a great experience. 10 people fit comfortably in this house. Due to COVID restrictions, many of the restaurants did not offer in-house dining, and the Boardwalk was mostly closed. However, the easy access to the beach across the street was the highlight for our family.
