A superbly designed living space. The kitchen was a delight to use. The outdoor patios were expansive and convenient. Returning from the beach was a breeze with the outdoor shower with hot water. The enclosed backyard was excellent for a little toddler running around. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The furnishing had taste and function.

Perfect Spot

Great location and clean property was great for our trip to the area. We stayed there to take advantage of Henry Cowell State Park, Calla Lilly Valley (in season), dinner at Shadow Brook with transportation via a 65 checker cab and an afternoon strolling Carmel by the Sea. The property was clean, outdoor area was great and would stay agin (we frequent the area).

Aptos Ocean Oasis

Just down the PCH from Capitola and Santa Cruz, the Kennedy Beach House felt like our home away from home for spring break. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces and fully - stocked home. It was the perfect location along the coast with easy access to the valley and ocean beaches.
