Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley

Diana is great host. I’d be happy to stay at her place again. Location is easily walkable to all Downtown restaurants, etc. & and very Short drive to the Beach (about 1 mile)

Nalin’s place worked great for us for a weekend trip to the Bay Area. A good amount of space for us to spread out, and my pup loved the backyard.

Toby and Chel's place was perfect for our adult children to stay at while they visited us. Wonderful location that's walkable to the beach and some restaurants and coffee.

We had a spectacular stay at this beautiful home. The location is perfect and walkable… but truly the house is so special you won’t want to leave it! Gabriel was an excellent and responsive host. We can’t wait to stay here again.

Really lovely, comfortable house with a terrific kitchen. Comfy beds and a nice yard. The neighborhood is excellent -- we walked the dogs to the beach several times a day. Great hosts, very communicative and friendly. Highly recommended!

Sarah’s home was our home away from home for a short weekend trip to Santa Cruz. It’s a very well equipped house with almost everything you might need in a vacation home. It’s a beautifully decorated cozy place, with easy access to restaurants, beach and all local things to do! Sarah was very responsive and helpful. We loved our stay at this home and you would too.

Jackie’s place was perfect for our family of four. Really helpful to have a nice high chair and kid safe dishes and utensils. Beach toys, towels, games, everything you might need! The ocean is walkable as is a great coffee spot (Cat and Cloud).

Myriam was responsive and helpful from the start including giving us a link to current evacuation areas when the storm of the year was pounding the coast (we were fine). we did find all spaces but the deck slightly smaller than expected and I would check about the mattress in the HP closet as it was only a 1" camp pad, which wasn't great for our 11 yo. Loved the locations and binders with local suggestions. Communication couldn't have been better and would stay here again although would check on HP closet mattress. easy walk to the beach and went daily.

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.

We had a great stay at Lolly's place. The kids loved playing and exploring the private meadow and surrounding outdoors while we BBQ'd on the spacious dock. I went on a hike on the nearby trail with amazing views of the mountains. The house, kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms were all very clean and equipped with everything we needed and more. I would highly recommend Lolly's 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!

Marc was very accessible and helpful with any and all of our requests. We enjoyed our stay.

Our second stay with Konni was just as pleasant as the first! The pool house is very comfortable, clean, and cozy. The pool is very beautiful and clean, the hot tub is super relaxing, and the outdoors kitchen and fire table is very peaceful and enjoyable. The atmosphere is quiet and well lit and provides a calm place to enjoy an evening outdoors any time of the year.

EJ and Nancy have such a lovely property. We easily felt we had our own space. You can tell that they've been doing this for years, and have a great way of making everything comfortable for guests. Our two kids had space to spread out, the playground is not directly next to the front door of the apartment, but you can see it through the yard's trees & hear them more or less within ear shot. Kitchen was amply supplied and set up, & there are plenty of storage spaces and creature comforts to make the stay feel like home. Beds were comfortable & clean, super comfortable pillows. The unit itself doesn't get a ton of natural light, but to be expected in redwoods. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, we had a nice time chatting with them. Wonderful hosts, they felt like family. Their little dog is so so sweet and friendly as well, my kids loved the dog. Great location, easy to get to surrounding areas and Santa Cruz proper. Would return!

Great stay! The place is perfect for a family getaway, Liz is super nice and helpful. Will definitely stay again.

What a gem! We had a wonderful time at Steve’s house. The house is beautiful, functional and well decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed plus more. The property itself was incredible - private and peaceful with many activities for kids (and adults). The house is also ideally located close to downtown Los Gatos. Quick and kind responses from our host. We will definitely try and stay here again.

Great 2 night stay at the Cozy Cottage. Centrally located to downtown SC and the ton of things going on. It’s 10-15 min (5min drive) to West Cliff for any runners who want an oceanside run. It is cozy so it def works for solo travelers and very familiar traveling companions. Beautiful afternoon light and lovely shared common area with a lovely Buddhist chicken coop. Would stay again, absolutely.

Ms. Susan property is large and beautiful, our family of 7 enjoyed her estate so much and will plans to stay longer in the future.

Great location

2 senior couples and our dog spent 3 days over Christmas. Enjoyed walking to the beach and around the neighborhood We cooked Christmas breakfast and dinner there and had most everything we needed to prepare our feast The home is comfortable and beautifully appointed. We appreciated that the bedrooms were at opposite ends of the house for privacy Dona was great to quickly respond to our concerns and questions

Really amazing location and huge space . Walkable to Aptos village and the trails , close to beaches . We will be back !

We loved our three night stay at Pura Vida! The house is spacious with a large living room and separate dining room. The kitchen is well stocked for any home cooking you want to do. The kitchen opens up to the living room so it's easy to socialize with a larger group. We loved the backyard. It gets nice sun in the morning, especially off the master bedroom, and we enjoyed reading outside. The hot tub was great any time of day. Super peaceful, definitely feels like you are on vacation. There's an outdoor shower that's great for post swim/surf or just for rinsing off before hopping in the hot tub. All the bedrooms have big, comfy beds. The master bedroom gets lots of sun, has an en suite bathroom and it's own patio door out to the yard and hot tub. The other two bedrooms are on the other side of the hall so don't get as much sun. Janet is a gracious host. She was super responsive and went out of her way to to make sure we had everything we needed. Would stay again!

Clean and extremely convenient to a lot of restaurants and malls! It was super spacious for just me and my partner and Rolando was very responsive whenever we had questions. Would book this listing again.

What a peaceful, beautiful place to relax for a few days! The property was super clean and the outdoor gardens were such a plus - her Meyer lemon tree was covered in fruit! Highly recommend this place unless you have issue with climbing attic style stairs to get to the bedroom. I personally loved the character of the place and it was very quiet. No regrets only great memories!
