Vacation rentals in Bean Hollow State Beach

This is my first time in Aptos so everything was new. The view of the beach from the patio is as advertised. I only wished that our stay was more about the town itself (there to visit someone in Santa Cruz). I would stay again here should the circumstances change. Alla is very responsive in the few times we exchanged messages.

Every detail of this home was incredibly well thought out. There’s truly nothing you’ll need, it’s fully stocked with everything from games for the kids to all the cooking utensils you could want, and the beds are extremely comfortable. The patio and entry garden are absolutely stunning. The decor is perfect; every little detail was considered, and it really shows. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish- what a treat. I’m going to go home and redecorate with a Hawaii theme 😏

What a nice eclectic Santa Cruz spot. Our stay was awesome. The location was great and the house was comfortable and clean. The garden is beautiful. Host was very accommodating. Thanks

It was a perfect spot for us to return back to after our many fun outtings! I love that it was dog-friendly (much of the town was too!). We had such a wonderful visit and will definitely be back!

Our stay here was amazing. The view was awesome, location was perfect and it was the perfect place to stay with two little ones. The beds and furniture were all so comfy and the backyard was a great spot to hang out. Being right on the beach was so relaxing, and hearing the waves at night was priceless. We’ll definitely be back.

Susan's place was perfect for a weekend trip with my coworkers. We booked both of her adjacent units and spent most of our time in the other one (since it had a bit more space). This unit had great decor and an outdoor patio, perfect for enjoying the Santa Cruz weather. The place is just 10 minutes walk from the boardwalk and maybe a little farther to the next beach. The car port was convenient and we didn't have much issue finding street parking. The snacks and wine that came with our stay made it feel special. Susan's place is not to be missed!

This was my third stay- whenever I want to go off the grid but have all of the comforts of home, this is the first place I think of (I’d probably have more stays here but I am pretty much a spontaneous booker, so Vicki’s place isn’t always available when I want a local getaway). If you’re not local, it’s also a great home base for everything Santa Cruz County has to offer. Vicki is an excellent host and I highly recommend!

The beach was amazing, especially being able to walk out the door and only take a few steps to get there. The snack shop is limited but had some staples so it was definitely nice to bring some easy meals and we cooked most of them there. My had some basics there that made cooking easier (salt, oil, etc). Our two teenagers enjoyed having their own full bed. Stay here - great deal for a clean space.

The view from this property was extraordinary with amazing sunsets from the deck each night. The location was perfect to visit Santa Cruz one day and Pinnacles National Park the next. The host was very responsive. We’ll definitely save this to our wishlist.
