  The house was amazing, the view was stunning. Beach front home that was in great shape, very clean, and well appointed. We enjoyed sitting on the back patio watching the whales and dolphins.

  Megan C from Fairfield, CA recommends this vacation rental

  This place is wonderful, magical, and we will try to rent the same house again. My only suggestion to the owners would be to add some inventory to the kitchen supplies. It does lack a few basic things... for example there was only one wine glass, and the garbage can under the sink is very tiny. Other than that, the place really comfortable.

  We have been renting Vacation Beach Homes in Aptos every year for 38 years. 212 was an awesome find. 4 bedrooms and 2 baths were great to have as there were 6 adults and 2 children. Even though the house is smaller (1200 sq ft) than we have rented before, the well appointed kitchen and comfy beds added to our enjoyable stay. Thank you Cheshire Rio!

  So fun to be next to the Rio Del Mar coastline and listening to the waves and lulled to sleep with the oceans always varying sounds of the weather, surf, and incoming storms.

  Property condition:

  Ninette F from Gilroy, CA recommends this vacation rental

  This place was perfect for what I was looking for. And it was nice of the weather (for the most part) to cooperate while I was there. There was just 2 of us so the place had plenty of room. Although I could see with more people that the living space would get a bit tight. Nice new kitchen. No pantry space though and considering I cooked almost every meal there I had to be creative with where I store my dry goods. But truthfully you can't bet the view or the near by area. Couple of decent places to eat a few minutes walk away. Little store near by if you forgot something. We did some glitches due to the storms that came in but the management company communicated well and kept me informed. A couple of little things. Front Door sticks a bit and you have to push or pull on it to get it to open. The information prior to arrival said no condiments. Didn't really think that included oil or cooking spray. Ended up going out to eat for breakfast the first day because there was no way to cook my eggs.

  Tina D from Roseville, CA recommends this vacation rental

  The rental isn't the biggest but, it was full of charm and very comfortable. There was enough space for our family, giving everyone their own space. The location has immediate access to the beach and a short stroll to the quaint food, coffee shop and market. The rental patio and balcony gives you a front row view of the most amazing sunsets.
