Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Aptos

Sara's home was lovely and comfortable. Her gardens on the side of the house and outside a bedroom in front, were tranquil, colorful, magical places. I daydreamed about how she must have planted in stages over the years, planning blooms for the different seasons and assisted by her obvious green thumb. The kitchen was well equipped, and the home had everything we needed. Sara was very welcoming, leaving us a beautiful flower arrangement, and a water bowl and squeaking and crinkling toy for our dogs.

The house was perfect for our family. The private fenced backyard, hot tub and dining areas made the space twice the size. That big beautiful maple was a treat to sit under and enjoy all the birds flying overhead to the lagoon nearby. The location is epic! We loved walking to twin lakes and blacks beaches with the dog. Early mornings with low tide gave us plenty of beach to run around on. The farmers market on Sunday is also just a walk away. Highly recommend !

This darling little beach cottage was everything I hoped for. It reminded me of the surf bungalows from decades ago but with all modern amenities. I wanted peace and quiet and the tranquil surroundings—wind chimes, water fountain and the Monterey Bay a block away—delivered! Sita and Tom were always available if I had questions but they were never intrusive. The Pleasure Point neighborhood (where I lived 50 years ago) is still just as friendly and the Bay’s beauty, with the ever-changing waves and surfers, never fails to bring me joy. All in all, a lovely experience ❤️

This was our second visit in a month. We love this place and location and can't wait to return.

Absolutely amazing location. Peaceful and beautiful. Great hiking nearby. Was perfect for our family. Chris is very responsive and helpful. Already thinking about another trip out here!

I had a great stay! The hosts were incredibly kind, responsive, and flexible with check-in, which made everything super easy. The place itself was beautiful—perfect for a relaxing getaway and a great spot to spend some time away from the usual routine. Highly recommend!

Really great location in the red woods. Perfect place to spend a quiet weekend. The kitchen was well equipped. The fridge had a whole entertainment component built in so it was nice to use to play music in the kitchen. The outdoor space is super private and the hot tub is so peaceful. Bathroom is nice. Shower is spacious. Comfortable sleeping options. Overall a clearly well loved and taken care of space.

Joyce’s place was clean and had a really great location. We thought we were right on the Cliff so that was kind of a bummer to have a house in front of our ocean view. But the place was really nice, and very clean! The space was really cool and had great decoration. Beds were comfortable. Kids were happy. We loved playing in the hot tub and in the garden in the backyard.

This was the most peaceful and beautiful space I have ever been to. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. All the greenery and the deers and random dog was super gorgeous and felt really at home. The hot tub was amazing and super relaxing. Robert was very kind and responsive, Received a phone call about all the lights, hot tub, close trails, and recommended spots!! Super helpful and very kind gesture. Would 100% go back to this place

Linda and Bob are wonderful hosts. We love their beautiful studio. The location is an amazing and we felt very safe and secure. Their property is a beautiful vineyard and the pool is right outside the studio. Lots of walkable paths, and our dogs Loved it. We will be back!

Everything about our stay was fantastic!! The beds, the pool, the town…the three of us loved this Airbnb and look forward to coming back. Swimming in a heated pool in the winter is a heavenly experience.

Co-host's Kateryna and Vlad's place was superb !!! Lovely elegant place beyond my wife and my expectations, all the way around. And the landscape and architecture place were stunning!!!! Lovely folks. Thanks again. Jaime and Cheryl

Outstanding location and great condo. Condo was just as advertised. It was clean and very comfortable. Cheshire Realty was easy to deal with.

We had a great stay at Mayela’s place! Communication was smooth and helpful she provided clear instructions and useful information before our arrival. The home was clean, comfortable. Parking instructions were very helpful as well. Overall, a great experience.

Serene is the perfect word to describe this property. It was refreshing and quiet. We would love to come back

We stayed here for a family vacation, while visiting the Bay Area. The pool and spa area were lovely during the heat 90 degree South Bay summer days. The house needs some updates to better justify the price. But other than that, it is a nice property. The host, Allison, really earned a five star review with her excellent communication and focus on customer service. When we encountered issues she was quick to respond and remedy the situation. I would book another AirBnb hosted by Allison anytime.

Great views and close to many activities while still being g private .

We enjoyed our stay emotionally and we are planning to make this our regular getaway. The house had everything we needed and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the surroundings and the courtyard with eclectic statuary and whimsical decorations. We walked to the beach at least twice a day. I highly recommend this Airbnb

We so enjoyed staying at Ian‘s place. The house was very comfortable and is located in a great neighborhood. It’s quiet and I so enjoyed taking my dogs for a daily walk. The home is close to some great restaurants and a wonderful park where we found a friendly Pickleball community. The area is also quite bike friendly and we took a ride with some great views of the ocean. The Co-host, Ryan, was very helpful and great about getting back to me. We hope to come back again.

Gabriel was a great host and provided a lot of information to make our stay better. My group didn't do the best job at separating the garbage and Gabriel was very kind and considerate in addressing the issue so we could work towards a resolution, which I appreciated. I would definitely book his place again.

I had a most wonderful stay at this peaceful and lovely hideaway. The place was ideal and so convenient—to the beach, to Santa Cruz's sights, and walkable spaces—but as perfect as it was, Ron and Nikki were the perfect hosts. Helpful ahead of check-in, responsive and full of great suggestions once I was in, and when I needed to help out a relative, extremely understanding and accommodating. Can't wait to come back!

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

Home was well stocked, including high chair & pack-n-play. Omar was very responsive and accommodating. Beach was within walking distance of home.

Great little Airbnb if you’re looking to explore the pacific coast highway and the redwoods
