It was a perfect jumping off point for exploring the Central Coast. Beds and couches were comfy, kitchen stocked, lots of cozy little touches. I wish we could have spent more time in the house.

SCz county vacation rental permit # 251252.
Hand crafted by my dad in 1960 out of redwood and knotty pine, this meticulously maintained and spotless beach house is perfect for families with children or couples looking for a romantic getaway.
Our house is limited to 4 registered guests and rented very sparingly, and our single story "Hawaiian style" 1950's beach cottage is located on a private dead end street with a level, flat yard.... just 300 yards from the beach. Private and sunny backyard patio and sundeck with views up to tree filled open space hillside, total quiet and zen! Please read our reviews. You'll have sun, solitude, total privacy, a large backyard, sundeck, and sublime quiet in this classic/vintage, mid-century beach house, which is located on this very quiet cul de sac backing up to a Santa Cruz County Designated Scenic Corridor greenbelt in your back yard. From the backyard watch the wild-birds, seagulls, red- tailed hawks, and then listen to the owls at night. (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.
Natural gas fireplace in living room (Nov to April), large fenced backyard with patio and fire pit, and front courtyard patio out the front door (yard is 5000 sq ft). 850 sq ft' of inside living, and 900'sq ft' of outside back patio with fire pit, sun deck and front patio....single level home and yard...no stairs. Queen bed in the front bedroom and 2 twin beds in the back bedroom.
Perfect location for parents with 2 children looking to get away, or a couple, yet close to all the amenities of Rio Del Mar Beach, the village of Aptos (1/2 mile away), Capitola Village (3 miles away), and downtown Santa Cruz (7 miles west).
Everything inside and out is clean, new, freshly painted, and in perfect, pristine, and spotless condition. Private outside shower, BBQ, Comcast Wi-Fi & Smart TV (Netflix), dishwasher, and new washer/dryer.
Terrific mountain biking and hiking in the 10,000 acres of redwoods in Nicene Marks State Park ONLY 1/2 mile away in Aptos village. Bike rentals available at Epicenter Bikes in Aptos village. Golf at Seascape resort 1 mile away.
Walk to the restaurants and coffee houses, Pixi Deli, Venus Beach-side and Venus Pie-Trap in Rio Del Mar right down the street. In Aptos village visit Mentone (****!), Pacific Roasting, Peets, Cat n' Cloud coffee, Bittersweet Cafe, Persephone, Cafe Sparrow, Metone, Sushi Garden, and in Seacliff visit Manuels Mexician or Ambrosia for Indian and Maryannes for ice cream treats.
Or take a 5 minute drive to Capitola village and dine at Trestle's.
Visit the shops, fine dining and movie theaters in downtown Santa Cruz, a 10 minute drive up Highway 1.
Prime surf spots at Pleasure Point (Private's, Jack's, the Hook, the Point) are 5 miles away. Surfing lessons are available through "Ed's Surf Camp" company. Bike along the coast at beautiful Wilder Ranch in West-side Santa Cruz 12 miles away. Bike rentals available at Epicenter Bikes both in Aptos and Santa Cruz.

- "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!"

The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay....fully functional kitchen (cooking utensils, pots/pans, etc), outdoor grill, linens/towels, etc. A short walk to everything as well....beach, pool, lobby, market, shops, restaurants, etc. Easy and close parking. Would stay here again!" - "Enjoyed this particular unit. Both bedrooms are on same floor (not a two story unit) both bedrooms have a patio. Extra large living room with more seating.

Kids loved the pool and the beach, house was clean and well stocked." - "The views were amazing. The property was just as described in the listing! Updated and very clean! Highly recommend" - "It was a pleasure staying here mid-July. Great view of the property and ocean. It was nice having the small pantry amenities and full kitchen. Box of beach toys and shade umbrella were a nice surprise. Nothing really to say that's negative. Only feedback would be to provide better beach chairs, access to a better health club(Seascape Sports Club gym was a joke), and access to resort golf cart service for the long treks to the beach."

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 2 bed / 2 bath 1100 sq ft cottage is ideal for WFH, one or two couples, and family with up to two kids. Master bedroom has Nectar memory foam king size bed with en suite bathroom. Second bedroom has two high end twin XLs beds. Living room has a full sized sleeper sofa.

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."

The location was ideal for getting to Monterey and the South Bay. And Aptos is a quaint little town - had great pub food and craft beers at the Publick House. Would definitely stay again!" - "My husband and I needed temporary housing while our house was being worked on. The apartment is spacious, light filled and well appointed. It was a convenient location near our work. And the views of the ocean and surrounding trees from the decks and windows are stunning.

I have a cat named Lala....she is a free range kitty....mostly outdoors but inside at night. Very friendly but independent like most cats. She does her bathroom duties outside so there is no litter box and no smell in the house. She is a short hair 'tabby' and I vacumn regularly so even people with cat allergies have not had any real problems so far.

Our home is nestled just above the coast with beautiful views of oak and eucalyptus. We’re just a 5-minute drive to the beach (or a 30–35-minute walk, if you’re up for it!). Hiking trails and views of the majestic Monterey Bay are literally steps from our front door, and the stunning redwoods of Nisene Marks are only 10 minutes away by car.
This space is perfect for couples or solo travelers, especially those looking for a peaceful, remote-friendly stay with easy access to nature and town.

A few things to know about the property:
1. We can accommodate only one compact to mid-size car or SUV due to limited parking.
2. Parking is at the top of a somewhat steep 20-ft driveway; you’ll walk down to the house.
3. You’ll enter through our shared front door and pass through shared kitchen and living areas to get to your room.
4. We have a 10-year-old son, a playful black lab, and two cats. They stay out of your room but are around if you’d like to say hello. If you have pet dander allergies, this may not be the right fit.
5. The freeway is some distance below the house. You won’t see it, but you may hear occasional road noise or sirens. We have double-paned windows that block most of it, but it can be noticeable if windows are open or when you’re outside.
6. Our street is quiet, rustic, and narrow, with no sidewalks or streetlights, and limited parking—we can only host one car per stay.
7. We sometimes rent this space while we are traveling, so we may not always be available to greet you in person.

As an artist, I'm deeply interested in aesthetics. I think I've succeeded in creating a beautiful, restful venue for relaxation. The queen size bed overlooks a bird sanctuary over the Valencia Creek watershed. The kitchen includes a fridge stocked with goodies, toaster oven, microwave, coffee pot, French press and cooktop for light cooking. You're welcome to use the oven/stove in the main kitchen with prior arrangements. A backyard gas barbecue is available for heavier cooking (or if you're planning to cook fish!) Hairdryer and shampoo are available in the spacious private bath. Thick terry robes are provided for your comfort, and beach towels and chairs if you decide to spend some time on one of our beautiful beaches. There's a large flat screen smart TV complete with Netflix. Lots of reading material and a writing desk are also here for your use. You have a private entrance with a coded entry.
Guest access
You have a private entrance with a coded entry. Your rooms are private and you have your own porch and you're welcome to use the yards/patios. I share the front house with my partner and our two dogs. We'd love to meet you and perhaps share a cup of coffee or a glass of wine (depending on the time of day!) but will also respect your need/desire for privacy if you prefer.
Other things to note
We're just minutes away from a thriving downtown scene complete with music venues and restaurants, shopping, art galleries, and the SC Beach Boardwalk. Whale watching, kayaking, cycling and hiking trails are also just minutes away. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, or those looking for a quiet retreat.

Other Considerations and Rules (Full rules listed in "Rules" section)
+ For stays over 28 days, utilities will be capped at an amount detailed in the separate agreement. Overages will be assessed on a monthly basis.
+ No (outdoor) fires are allowed on the property due to the high risk of fires spreading through the forest.
+ STRICT enforcement of the noise policy (9pm-8am).

+ While you will most likely not encounter another person, our landscaper, spa, or maintenance people may need to access the area around the property during daytime hours. You may see or hear these service professionals during your stay as they let themselves into the backyard to service as needed. Please be sure to ask about this before booking if you think it might be an issue for you.

Om Oasis is a beautiful and lush retreat center on several acres of a remote and peaceful 15 acre mountain top property. We host guests who wish to connect with the beauty of nature and experience peace. We are 10-15 minutes up the mountain and partially off-grid with little to no cell reception but with a great WiFi connection. There are a total of 7 guest accommodations (including this one) spread out over our developed 3 acres, making it always a very private experience and easy to distance.
The space
The Adobe Casita is a private, 10’x10’ single room structure with access to a detached bathroom (shared with one other accommodation) a short walk from the casita, and access to outdoor showers (shared but private to you once you enter).
This tall ceiling room is located closest to the parking portion of our property with easy walking access. There is a redwood grove and deck nearby for yoga and meditation.
Inside the room you will find a comfy King Size bed, a thin table, a chair and two display shelves boasting some of our spiritual world art collections.
This is one of our most humble accommodations on-site in terms of size and amenities. We offer these lower priced options to be able to serve a more diverse group of people and share the beauty and healing of the land with the larger community.
This accommodation has a sliding glass door that is not able to be locked from the outside so there is no key for this accommodation. There is a PVC pipe that can be laid down in the door track once inside but it is a very safe property and there are only trails private to you leading to the accommodation so no one will be walking by.
Please be sure this will fit your needs or feel free to ask us about our other fully equipped houses and tiny homes on the property.
PLEASE NOTE there is no kitchen access or refrigeration for this accommodation but the room has filtered RO drinking water, an electric tea kettle, cups and mugs, and an organic tea assortment.
We recommend bringing a cooler with ice for cold food storage needs, bringing easy instant type meals that can be prepared with hot water, bringing a camp stove for outside the casita or simply enjoying some food to-go/dining out from the local restaurants in Aptos Village just 10-12 minutes down the mountain from us.
Unfortunately due to the style of our retreat requiring some walking on loose natural, sometimes steep or dusty paths, wheelchair access is not suggested.
Guest access
During your stay with us you will have 24-hour access to the saltwater pool (not heated) and main hot tub at no additional cost, first come first served.
Additionally we have a BY RESERVATION ONLY Private Bamboo Spa and Sauna Deck that costs $100 for a 2-hour session and includes access to our infrared sauna and cold plunge as well.
You will also have access to all our outdoor amenities during including our forest sanctuary, redwood deck, meditations pond, rolling gardens and easy wood-chipped walking paths. There are no hiking trails on-site but the Forest of Nisene Marks State Park entrance is just a short drive into Aptos Village.

You can expect to see typical spa services plus our specialty extras! You will receive a list of services inside your accommodation as well with QR code to the service booking link.
