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.

Perfect place to stay near the beach. Was too cold for beach activities but enjoyed walking the neighborhoods along the beaches with all the spring flowers blooming. House had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Great hosts!

It was a clean, beautiful, open space home. I had a great experience with the owner. I really enjoyed staying there. It was restful and quiet. I would definitely stay there again.

We had a great stay. Ian’s place is cute, comfortable, and close to everything but still nice and quiet. Beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was spacious and well-stocked. My dogs had a great time walking through the neighborhood to the beach and hanging out in the fenced in backyard! The hot tub was a highlight, and Ryan (Ian’s brother) was awesome—he spent nearly a whole day cleaning it after the previous guests to make sure it was perfect for us. Communication with him was excellent. Would definitely stay here again!

This house fit our needs perfectly. We were able to easily walk to our seminar and cook our own meals in the kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay!

We had a long girls weekend at Sarah’s home. It was perfect and we loved the location, how centrally located it was to Santa Cruz, Monterey, beaches and so much more. The home was cozy and all the girls said the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked along with the linen closet. We would absolutely go back again. Sarah was an amazing host.

Liz's place was exactly as described and a lovely stay. We enjoyed walking to the beach. Appreciate all the shelving and storage space. Liz was extremely helpful and kind the airbnb was beautiful and definitely worth the money.

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!

This is the second time I’ve visited for business. The space is relaxing and quiet and the hosts are very responsive.

Very accomodating, responsive, place was super nice and quiet as well as spacious

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!

Serene is the perfect word to describe this property. It was refreshing and quiet. We would love to come back

I had a fantastic stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and just as described. The pool was a definite highlight—perfect for relaxing and really made the trip special. The host was super friendly and responsive, which made everything easy and stress-free. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great getaway!

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at Vic and Mod's place. The space fit our family of four nicely and we were able to have our sweet canine family member with us as well. The location was close to our extended family event and many delicious eateries. Communication with the hosts was friendly and prompt. We would stay here again.

Tina is awesome! Everything is as depicted on the listing. Perfect for a single adult or a family. Very kind and understanding. Thank you!

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.

It was great. No issues.

Our stay at Gabriel’s was a wonderful experience! Not only was the space extremely roomy, but it was also very homey. The location was very convenient as it’s next to lots of hiking and restaurants. Gabriel was also very responsive & kind to any & all inquiries we had during our stay. We will gladly stay again in the future!

Nice studio. It was clean and met our needs.

Such a great home! Loved sitting on the front porch waiting for the rest of our party to arrive, garden and swing song chairs was perfect way to start our trip The house is super cute inside with beautiful skylights and a very private backyard. There was a welcome tennis ball for our dog as well as a water bowl, just so much detail in making us feel right at home. I would stay here again

We feel so lucky to have found this little slice of heaven. Nestled in the hills above San Jose in a lush and peaceful setting, with an incredible view of the entire city from both the apartment and the ground-level deck. And only a quick drive down the hill to reach the city. I won’t repeat all the more typical positives that have been mentioned by other reviewers: they’re all true! Helen was always available via text, but we really didn’t have any issues that needed to be addressed. We loved it here and will be returning next year when we visit our daughter again.
