Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley

I stayed a few days in Nalin's charming home while visiting relatives in San Jose. The home had everything I needed, and was comfortable & cheerful. I especially liked the coffee table in the front room that converts to a desk. I had a big data collection project to work on while I was there, and the space was great for spreading out and getting the work done. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. I was especially delighted by the little lights accenting the front yard at night. The house is a short drive from shopping & restaurants. Beds were really comfy. Lots of thoughtful details. I would definitely stay again.

This is by far the perfect beach getaway house! My husband had classes in the area so during the day my daughter and dog could walk right to the beach! There is even a museum right in walking distance I took my daughter to twice. And the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk is only a ten minute walk which we did another day! The Airbnb itself was beautifully decorated with a wonderful shower and a clawfoot tub. The outdoor area was so great to relax in as well. This place was stocked with beach chairs and toys and extra towels and even sunblock. Everything we could need. In fact we loved it so much we extended our stay. Yvonne was SO responsive and friendly and really made our vacation just completely hassle free and perfect. I can see why this place is always booked!

Highly recommend for anyone staying in the bay and looking for an experience like home. Having lived in the bay before, Julia's spot is an ideal location - private, clean, spacious, and central to south bay. Looking forward to booking with Julia next time I'm back!

Ian and his brother Ryan were excellent hosts! They were extremely communicative, which I always very much appreciate. I loved the brightness of each room, one with a large window and the other with a french door to a spacious backyard. We felt very comfortable in the home and also loved the live plants in the kitchen area. The kitchen has nice pots and pans, a few spices to cook with, and all needed utensils. We always cook when we travel, so it was great to have all of these needs met! The beds were comfortable, and the couch was nice and cozy as well :) Great location too!

I always choose to stay at Emrehans when I need a place near San Jose. Very beautiful, clean home/yard, great location. Emrehan communicates well and has been very accommodating to me. Very good price for the stay. Would recommend.

Sarah’s house was beautiful- clean and lots of room. There was enough space for us to be together and space for alone time. There were 8 of us. Sarah had made some recommendations for dinners and places to go. We did try a couple of them and the Mexican restaurant and ice cream place was delicious . We had one issue with hot water and Sarah responded immediately and issue was resolved in a timely manner. The house was a little farther from Santa Cruz than we were used to but it only took 20 minutes get there. The area where the house was located was quiet and close to the ocean. We genuinely loved our time in Aptos. Would stay again .

Love Liz's place. I have stayed her numerous time and will continue to do so. What I especially LOVE: Cozy Private Patio High ceiling (feels spacious) Walk to coffee shop in the morning Walk to dinner in the evening Walk to the beach all the time Lovely neighborhood I highly recommend Liz's place!!!

this house is sooo close to the beach! The neighborhood is friendly. The house is comfortable with a great deck and lots of space. I definitely plan to stay here again. Myriam answered questions promptly and takes great care of the house.

Everything was great! The unit had everything you could possibly need for a trip (stocked bathroom, stocked kitchen, tons of extra towels and blankets). The neighborhood was also very quiet, which was great because we're light sleepers. I would definitely recommend this spot and would stay again.

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

I booked this home for my colleagues from overseas, and they had a fantastic stay. The host was highly professional and responsive, promptly addressing all requests and ensuring everyone’s comfort throughout their visit. Their attentiveness made the experience seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Fabulous location Quiet and pretty back garden and pool - so relaxing. Comfy beds. A lovely stay!

This Airbnb was great for our weekend stay. The place was clean and the host was responsive. The place itself had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay and was also in a convenient location. Would stay here again in the future, thank you!

Great, very spacious house, but the pool was the star of the vacation. Really wonderful escape in the middle of an otherwise urban area. Thanks for the great stay!

Very nice location, was a wedding party visiting from Canada and the east coast. The place was within one mile of The Hayes Mansion - which is where the wedding was. Super convenient, quiet and the house itself was clean and well kept. Thanks for keeping it that way, and our party thoroughly felt comfortable and well suited. Highly recommend it for similar sized parties with kids and adults all mixed in. May be a few more entertainment options like a pool table in the garage or board games could be good additions. Thanks.

Emey is indeed a “Super host”. She responds quickly to anything that you might need. I would highly recommend her. Thanks Emey..we had a wonderful stay! Hopefully we can return again. Nancy and Morley

This place was perfect for our stay. We are Airbnb super hosts ourselves and have been hosting since 2017 so we know what it is like to creat a 5 star experience for others. We appreciated how clean the place was, quiet , updated. The air conditioner worked well and even helped cool the bedrooms down. The beds were so super cozy - which helped a lot since our stay was for medical and rest. One of the coziest beds we’ve stayed in at an Airbnb. Most of all the hosts were so responsive and were willing to help with whatever we needed. Amazing experience and highly recommend!

This is a very comfortable and stylish house, with 2 bedrooms and 2 outdoor sitting areas. It is a short stroll to the beach where there are several restaurants and a coffee shop. We had a wonderful weekend getaway and would love another chance to stay there.

My stay for two nights was very comfortable and lots of amenities were provided in the Airbnb. Lots of kitchen amenities and shower products were available (shampoo + conditioner). Very comfortable bed and nice lineans. Spacious backyard which I brought my small dog with me. She also enjoyed her stay. Very clear instructions to follow to get inside. Plenty of parking on the side of the house. Highly recommended Li's Airbnb!

Gabriel had a lovely place in an absolutely spectacular location! It was a dream to stay there.

Nice studio. It was clean and met our needs.

Had a wonderful stay! Janet’s home was very peaceful and relaxing. Literally had anything we could need during our stay. She also let us check out at 1 so we could go on one last adventure without being in a rush! I would definitely recommend her place, & stay there again sometime!!

Helen's place was really peaceful and private. We enjoyed the view and were glad we were able to bring our dog along with us. Everything was really clean and neat, Helen even provided towels for our stay. We will definitely come back here whenever we need another getaway. One thing to note is that the kitchen is separate from the room. However, the kitchen was private. Which was great because it allowed us to cook meals or heat up any food. There was also a mini fridge in the room which was useful to have drinks with us in the room.

Beds were comfy, split unit made the sleeping comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
