Aptos Ocean Oasis

Just down the PCH from Capitola and Santa Cruz, the Kennedy Beach House felt like our home away from home for spring break. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces and fully - stocked home. It was the perfect location along the coast with easy access to the valley and ocean beaches.

Perfect Spot

Great location and clean property was great for our trip to the area. We stayed there to take advantage of Henry Cowell State Park, Calla Lilly Valley (in season), dinner at Shadow Brook with transportation via a 65 checker cab and an afternoon strolling Carmel by the Sea. The property was clean, outdoor area was great and would stay agin (we frequent the area).

Lovely home in quiet beach community

Tidy home in a quiet neighborhood, and the location is convenient to everything: beach walks, redwood hikes, shopping errands in town, and quick trips into Capitola and Santa Cruz. Extra pluses: well-stocked kitchen, multiple sunny patios, Golden Poppy Pass for free admission to California state parks, and the gas fireplace really warms the place up on chilly nights. The quietness of the neighborhood is the most amazing thing, though. I don't think I've ever experienced quieter conditions in a popular beachside location.

Amazing beach house in an amazing location

Wonderful beach house in Aptos! I have absolutely nothing negative to report. My mom (77 yrs old) and I stayed for 3 nights. We celebrated a late Xmas with my 2 adult sons and their wives. We brought our traditional Ukrainian Xmas food and the kitchen was PERFECT for us to serve our dinner. Super comfy living room with a warm gas fireplace that heated the house perfectly. The 6 of us sat comfortably around the large island/bar for dinner. The outside area, both front and back was impressive and super accommodating for a summer stay (which we will definitely be back for).Also, I must mention the beds were very comfortable; my Mom stating it was the most comfortable bed she’s ever slept on! (We will be replacing her current mattress to match the one here at this house!)Thank you Colm and Stephanie for making your lovely beach home available for others to enjoy.

Perfect cozy beach house

Spent 2 nights with our family of 5 adults. Location was perfect, quiet neighborhood but close to everything we wanted to do. Enjoyed quick walk to the beach and ice cream. Loved all the extras…the park pass, bicycles and beach equipment. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. We can’t wait to return to the area and hope this home is available when we do.

Close to beach

Cute clean home in quiet neighborhood. Beach was closer than expected but still drove since the walk back would have been uphill. Having our vehicle there was easy with the parking situation and loved having the Poppy pass they provided to get in to the state beaches, otherwise we would have been paying 10 bucks at every stop for entry. No contact with host was needed, but it appears they were attentive but kept distance which was nice.

We had a wonderful stay! We enjoyed the walkable proximity (about 1/2 mile) to the beach, convenience store and ice cream shop, as well as a very short drive to Capitola and Aptos for dining and hanging out. We also drove just a few miles and took a beautiful hike in the Forest of Nisene Marks state park. The house itself was very clean, had everything we needed and wanted. The yard is lovely and and I made good use of the hammock each night. There are a bunch of nice touches, like a couple of bikes, bocce ball in the back yard and a car pass for the State Parks.

Family Get Away

This was a great spot to have our first vacation as a family of 5. We have small children and wanted to have somewhere close to the beach but still in a quiet neighborhood. This spot was great. They loved the backyard when we weren't at the beach, especially the hammock. All the amenities were great and while it was close to everything, the neighborhood was quiet and lots of families enjoying the nice weather.

A Perfect Little Place

My husband and two children stayed here for 3 nights. We would have stayed longer if it was available! This is the perfect amount of space for the 4 of us. The outside seating/space made it feel so spacious. The neighborhood was very quiet. I loved the fact that we had a state park pass to use as Seacliff Beach is close by. We chose to drive there instead of walk. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, the beds were comfortable, and the washer and dryer worked well. The information binder was a plus! We’d love to come back for a stay again and explore more of the area. Just a heads up, at this time, there tends to be a lot of traffic on highway 1, so plan your travel time accordingly if going to Santa Cruz.
