We stayed over Christmas and despite the rain we really enjoyed walking on the beach everyday. The kitchen is well stocked and the hot tub is nice after a cool walk we brought 2 dogs and they had a blast on the beach. Dog friendly town.
Beautiful property with everything we needed. Plenty of room for my family to visit. Very close, easy walk to beach and shopping. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
The house was in a great location. The views are spectacular! Everything about the property was top notch. I look forward to returning on next stay at the beach. Thanks Sid!
I’ve stayed at many vacation rentals, and this is one of the best. It’s one of the best because of the details. It’s well kept, and well appointed. And as a cherry on top, you can walk to the beach in 5-7 minutes. Highly recommended.
The home was perfect in every regard. The kitchen was well furnished with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The interior was decorated with sailing ships in every room. Our 4 y/o grandson was amazed! We greatly enjoyed playing chess on the board with over-sized pieces.
This is not my 1st stay at Sid's house and as usual the house was very clean and tidy. The house is well stocked and the views off the front porch were beautiful and peaceful.
We all loved our stay! The house was perfect for the 6 of us (4 adults, 3 yr old & a 16 month old). It’s an easy walk down the trail to the beach, the front deck was a welcome sunny spot for afternoon chats and the back yard and hot tub were a welcomed and lovely bonus at the end of the day. The hosts were easily reached, check in and out were simple. The perfect beach getaway! We highly recommend it!
The house was totally nice and very clean. We are a family of 4 with 2 college aged kids. We also brought our dog and it was a Perfect setup. Great location right above Seacliff beach and walking distance to shops and food. Backyard jacuzzi with outdoor shower was a nice plus! Highly recommend!

Bumbled Beach Bungalow
Great location! A few minutes walk and you're at the beach! You can see and hear the ocean from the house, very nice. However, it smelled musty upon arrival. All doors and windows had to be opened, air freshener sprayed. It does not sleep 6! The sofabed was very uncomfortable to sit on and inadequate for sleeping. You sank into the sofa and could feel the bed springs from underneath. We were 3 adult women, two of which had to bunk together. The hottub was extremely overpowering with chemicals! The jets could not be turned on because they created a toxic cloud that made us choke! The water overflowed out of the tub when getting in, as if whomever serviced it spilled an entire bottle of chemicals and tried to dilute it by filling it up with water. Afterwards, two showers were not effective to remove the chemicals from our bodies. Not usable for the rest of our stay! The master shower's water flow was really low and took forever to warm up. That made it more difficult to get the hottub chemicals cleaned off. Communications with the host were good until informed of the hottub situation, then no response at all!
We loved this beach house! The home has all the amenities that we needed, plus a hot tub. The beach access is very close, and we enjoyed daily walks. The shops in town are great as well. Overall a very pleasant stay.
The view was great, and the location was perfect! Quiet neighborhood, well stocked house. Dog friendly with gated entrance. Not too many stairs for my elderly parents. I hope to come back again.
Loved this house! Perfect for 4 people. Fantastic location. You can see and hear the ocean. Added plus’s, the deck out front, totally fenced in yard and hot tub. We will definitely book again.
We really enjoyed our stay! Lovely little home, very comfortable and within easy walking distance to the beach. Several good restaurants also within walking distance. We would stay again.
My husband and I loved our stay! The home had everything we needed. Water views, beautiful backyard and quick walk to beach make this a perfect vacation rental!
I came to the area for work and bright my family along. It was wonderful to stay at the house! We watched whales feeding for hours one morning and walked to ice cream everyday!
My family (two teens, my husband, dog and I) had a great stay at the Beach Bungalow in Aptos.
Property is super cute and clean. Close to restaurants, cafes and shops.
Quick walk to the Beach.
Water in the bathroom shower took a LONG time to get hot, but the hot tub was amazing and had a nice outdoor shower.
