Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Aptos

Vic and Leanne's place is great! We've stayed there several times, and will be back, I'm sure. It's clean, quiet, nicely furnished, and comfortable, with a very well-stocked kitchen. The kitchen and appliances are new and nicely done. Plenty of local coffee for the coffee maker. Vic and Leanne are friendly, helpful, and responsive. Recommended!

It was a great location and a great house. Real homey feeling and the backyard was awesome! Would definitely stay again.

This beach bungalow is fabulous ! The home is clean, comfortable and has all the amenities needed for a relaxing getaway! The outdoor patio is a bonus living room! The location has a nice ocean view and easy access to walks along the beach. Heather is a great host! The recommendations provided are very helpful and spot on! Will definitely book this wonderful gem for our next visit to Santa Cruz!

We had a wonderful stay at Theresa’s place. Great location and very well maintained. We’d love to stay there again.

7 adults spent Mother's Day weekend here celebrating a close friend who's moving back to Ireland. Can accomodate up to eight if you're willing to share a bed. We had four more friends for dinner one night and there was more than enough space for everyone. The house is a little dated but that was not why we picked this place. Access to the beach, 180 degree view of the Bay from majority of the house, and conveniently located to restaurants and cafe was our reason for this place. Spent less than $15 one way to uber to nearby restaurants and harbors. We spent Mother's Day wishing all the moms and furry moms walking by a wonderful Mothers Day while having champagne on the 2nd floor balcony. Waking up to surfers as early as 6am was icing on the cake 😄. Hot tub and the electric bikes were a big hit. Thanks Evans! Definitely be back.

I was looking for just the right spot to enjoy a peaceful week long getaway for me and my wife. I was very lucky to have found this place on Airbnb as it was just what the doctor ordered. We really had an amazing time and the location is magical. Literally surrounded by forest and then we hop in our car and drive 20 minutes to the beach for breathtaking coastal views. And with all there was to do in the area, one of our favorite things was just hanging out on the deck of the house and enjoying nature. You'll definitely wanna bring some binoculars and do some bird watching. We were sad to leave and we would definitely come back.

4 couples stayed. Double bed cozy but no complaints. Comfortable, quiet, and well supplied. Master BR downstairs. Rest of living space upstairs. Ample space to park three cars and a fourth behind the others. Nice walking and running loops. We loved the beach access only 3 minutes away by car. Long Beach for walks and watching ocean and wildlife. Freeway was fairly close. Check out and check in was seamless. Definitely would rent again. Didn’t realize extra charge for over 6 people but less than $90.

Wonderful place to stay for a visit to Santa Cruz! The house is ideally located and we walked to Capitola in one direction and Pleasure Point in the other. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance. The house itself was great! The kitchen was very well equipped. The backyard is a quiet oasis- we enjoyed sitting out there at the end of a long day. Ronnie was quick to answer a question we had. Don’t hesitate to rent this- you won’t be disappointed!

Super cute spot in a really convenient spot in Aptos. Was perfect for my family while visiting from out of state. Matthew and Sarah were great hosts and very communicative!

I chose this stay for my annual lady trip. We frequent the Aptos/Capitola/Santa Cruz area a lot for friends and family and chose this area for the beach/village convenience. Parking was great, I personally loved driving my truck up the small hill. Cameras were excellent for ensuring our safety! Easy to get in and easy access to both the parking/backyard and the village/beach via the small stairs. This place was loaded with amenities and was easy to use them. Loved the little radio for breakfast and clean up! The comforter on the king bed was out of this world comfy. The board games and photography books were a hit when hanging back at the airbnb for midday nights and late night chats with my girlies. Water pressure and heat was fantastic. Futons, king bed, space heater, and fireplace made for very cozy nights/early mornings. The large windows were great for views! Jaime was a great host, my group mentioned her communication and responsiveness was on point!

This place is incredible! It was such an amazing experience. The place was very clean with everything we needed. It’s a short walk to the beach. The pool is also wonderful. The host is fantastic as well and very helpful. I would highly recommend staying here. If you’re in the area this is where you want to stay.

We had an amazing stay at Howard’s Place! Literally steps from the beach. Howard was very communicative and always responded if we reached out to him. The community is also amazing! We had an issue with the blinds not working and they came the next day and fixed them. They provide wheelbarrows for luggage and have a private pond. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Howard!

Had a great stay here! The location was perfect, right next to the beach where we spent most of the time. The place itself was clean and tidy with plenty of room. Will definitely stay here again!

Probably the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in in terms of being a clean, well stocked place. So many little details done right. Charging docks on all the night stands. A “did you forget anything” toiletry basket in the restroom. The well equipped kitchen and selection of coffee from Keurig to Nespresso. A lot of care was put into this home and it’s well worth the asking price. As far as location, proximity to the beach, and views - that is all self explanatory. I had an amazing time, and will certainly book again.

The unit was great and exactly as described - very well appointed, clean, well decorated and in a great neighbourhood. Very convenient to places around Santa Cruz and obviously SC is very central to a lot of nice places to visit - SFO, Carmel, Monterey Bay, Silicon Valley. Check-in was easy, appreciate the convenience of a combination entrance, checkout instructions were not onerous, just common sense. All in all, had a great stay, will gladly stay again in Ben's place next time we are in Santa Cruz

Lawrence was an amazing host. Very responsive and friendly and made sure to check on us via messaging during our stay. The property is comfortable and in a nice and quiet neighborhood. And also has many nice places nearby within walking distance! Would definitely stay at again!

My family and I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean and well-maintained, which made it feel welcoming and comfortable. The view was absolutely stunning and added a special touch to the experience. On top of that, the host was outstanding—extremely responsive and genuinely committed to ensuring a great stay. They went above and beyond to accommodate any needs, which made everything seamless. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!

Amazing location. Great ocean views. Well appointed and with modern amenities. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

The home was clean and very spacious. I was concerned about the cold weather but the house was so cozy. The pool was so close to us and very clean. The hot tub was wonderful. I loved that the home was so close to the water and we could hear the waves crashing. Everything about the home was amazing.

Excellent stay , beautiful and very clean home . Lijun is super fast in responding to queries.

A minor issue with our original reservation was quickly resolved by the PowerWest Team. They responded immediately and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and had a perfect trip. The unit is a beautiful, well equipped condo with spectacular ocean front views. We will definitely visit again and stay with PowerWest.

Our stay was everything we hoped for and more. The host was responsive and easy to work with, and the resort itself is stunning—perched above the water with incredible views. The home was spotless inside and out, and everything worked exactly as it should. We honestly wished we didn’t have to leave. It was the perfect place for us to escape the grind of unending obligations and just relax. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like; if we had one small wish, it would be for all three TVs to be smart TVs. We’ll definitely be booking this same place again the next time we’re in the area.

Great home with gorgeous views of the redwoods!! We were all confused as to why there was no dish soap or trash bags to use, but it had everything else!!

BeaUtiful grounds, comfortable bed.
