Oceanview Bungalow With Hot Tub - Walk To Beach - Pet Friendly

This Beach Bungalow was pleasantly remodeled and provides a spacious and relaxing retreat for your Santa Cruz getaway. 2 Bedrooms with king size beds and 2 bathrooms. Savor breakfast and complimentary Keurig coffee on the deck overlooking majestic Monterey Bay Views. Sunbath on the deck and BBQ lunch or spend your day on Seacliff State beach with public bathrooms. Only a five minute walk down the Beach Gate trail. Go exploring to the surrounding beach side towns, restaurants and antique shops.. The chef's kitchen provides all the necessary equipment to prepare a gourmet meal, or take advantage of the built-in outdoor gas BBQ. If you don't feel like cooking the bungalow is within walking distance of great local restaurants, and a short drive to the resort towns of Capitola and Santa Cruz. In the cool evenings relax on the back lanai or enjoy your private hot tub.

  • Nice, long hike today. Went down the Bridge Creek Trail, and then to Maple Falls. About an 8-mile total hike. Redwoods everywhere you look, and a deep dark forest that gave lots of 'mood'. We came across a tiny snake! It was just a few inches long, red back, sunning itself on a rock in the middle of the creek.

Charming Home with Character

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.

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.

Beautiful spot!

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!

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!

Relaxing and convenient beach stay

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.

Awesome stay in Aptos

Great communication with owner prior to our stay. Cottage looks even better in person. Very clean and spacious, hear the waves breaking from the front deck. Short quick walk to beach and town. Three tv’s, plenty of towels, TP, cleaning products and spices if you choose to cook, although owner had great restaurant recommendations. Would definitely stay again. 😀
