Review Score:   6
Summary: My family of 4 (plus dog) enjoyed many aspects of this home. However, two major inaccuracies in the listing are worth mentioning. 1. It is listed as 2 bedroom, but is definitely a 1 bedroom with a second bed in the living room. This was a surprise to us when we arrived, as the photos and listing suggested 2 bedrooms, and anyone who has traveled with young kids knows the difference between being able to put kids to bed in a closed door bedroom, vs the living room. This meant everyone had to essentially go to bed and wake up at the same time (not ideal).2. There is an additional rental property on site with other guests that share entryway, laundry, trash. I wish this had been mentioned in the listing, since we often worried about our kids disturbing the other guests, and my understanding of VRBO had been that you got the entire property.Aside from this, the home was beautiful, well-stocked, with lots of natural light. The yard was great for kids with a trampoline and hot tub. There is no AC, but opening the windows during the day kept the temperature between 60-80 degrees. The location was wonderful, a short walk to the beach, we loved Venus Pie Trap for morning coffee and pastries, and Nisene Marks Forest was just a few minute’s drive.Host was responsive, neighborhood felt very safe, and Aptos was a wonderful place to visit.
