(did we say NO stairs ?!!...ours is a single story house, large level front yard and level fenced backyard, and short level walk to the sand).
We call it the "cove" because its located 300 yards from the water in what is a natural cove with the ancient fossil rich ocean cliff rising 100' behind it. (you may have read about the Mastodon tooth discovery here in June '23).
Listen to the waves echoing off the canyon walls as the ocean lulls you to sleep. Walk miles east or west (north/south) on the bay's best, wide, & sandy beach, 2 minutes out your front door. Rio Del Mar beach is simply THE best beach on Monterrey bay.
This aloha style mid-century beach home was hand-built by my dad in 1960 for my mom and is a classic mid-century beach bungalow surf shack with 12' open beam vaulted ceilings, knotty pine interior, lots of natural light, and sundeck over the carport looking out to the mountain behind and to the sunsets over the bay 300 yards to the west.

- "Absolutely enchanted by this loved family beach cottage. Its 50's charm is alive and well, with all the modern conveniences. Great location to coffee shops, deli and beach. Bird preserve in the spacious backyard was a bonus. We enjoyed the hummingbirds by day, and the owls at night. Friendly neighbors across the way. We found perfection!!" - "First-time visitors and hope it won't be the last. Our family of four was delighted by this coastal cabin's design and seclusion. Just four blocks from the beach, it boasts cleanliness, comfortable living space, and a serene backyard garden. Instead of watching TV, we enjoyed the nightly visit of hummingbirds and owls and a walk to the beach to catch the sunset. Highly recommended!"

- "Our second time staying here. Just as great as the first. Everything feels clean and fresh. Enough space for us to be comfortable. The outside deck area is such an added bonus. Location is perfect. It’s just a short, shopping filled walk to the beach! Lots of great food options. We like the Avenue Cafe for breakfast and Trestles for dinner! Zelda’s is always great too!" - "My family and I visit Santa Cruz area at least once a year. We have family there. We all absolutely loved our stay in the Office. There’s one TV set in the living room. It was easy to hook up our fire stick and very easy to use the WIFI. The walk to Margaritavill was easy it takes about two minutes. I could put our names on the waitlist and walk back to get ready. We had a few issues but management was on top of it. All in all we had a really nice vacation. The room can easily hear the street noise. Everything calms down early except for Saturday night. That was the only night that was noisy. To be expected. The walk to the beach was a breeze. I’m not sure how many times I took a quick walk to the beach at all times. I felt safe the whole time so did the kids."

The King size bed is just right and the shower in the back bedroom is perfect. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans and we have cooked everything from tacos to chili to pasta and fish.

- "Perfect property in every level!!" - "We had a fabulous time at this rental. It’s updated with new modern features. Perfect location in the village in the middle of shops and the beach. I brought my 2 young girls, my mom and husband and there was plenty of space for all of us. It felt very clean and fresh. It was nice to have a full kitchen with all the appliances and items we needed, especially when traveling with kids. Plus a washer and dryer! The only suggestion I might make is to bring a white noise machine for the front room if you like to sleep with windows open. It can be a bit noisy at night and early morning. Great place, as pictured and advertised. Would definitely rent again!"

- "Perfect in every way. Location: a few block walk to Twin Lakes beach. House had it all…very clean, all amenities, hot tub, kitchen fully equipped, bathroom toiletries, etc. Attentive host. Highly recommend" - "The house is even more beautiful in person! It is incredibly well stocked with everything you could possibly need and Christine couldn’t be nicer or more responsive. Plenty of space to be together and also to find privacy/space/quiet when you want it. Huge plus is walking distance to beach and walking trails. Couldn’t imagine a better vacation!"

See the ocean, hear the waves crashing, and smell the ocean air from this serene beach cottage.

The cottage is only 3 minute walk to the sands on Seacliff Beach. Views from both house and deck, where you can dine al fresco or have a glass of wine and watch the sunset. Soak in the hot tub to end your day.

- "This property is a very short walk to a fairytale-esque path down stairs to the beach. We could enjoy sunsets from the house or the beach and it was great to come back and soak in the hot tub" - "The house was in a very residential neighborhood of "tightly" houses BUT once you park your car and enter the house, it became a home. The pictures does not do it justice. The natural light is amazing. Even thought the beach is a 9 minute walk, you can still hear the waves. Even it is cozy home, it is also spacious. The main bedroom king size bed was just wonderful, the best sleep one could have. And just outside the sliding glass door is another little paradise. The backyard with the hot tub, is get place to get away from the wear and tear of the day. And at night a great place to look at the stars. The location of the house make it very easy to park the car in the driveway and walk to the beach or to the little business area where one can get great food and ice cream. The best thing about the place was how the property managers were very quick to respond to chats regarding the house. So in closing, when we return to Aptos, this will be the first place to check to see if it is available."
