Welcome to Casa Rio Del Mar – A Spacious Coastal Getaway for the Whole Family

Just four houses from the sand and a quick stroll to Rio Del Mar Beach, Casa Rio Del Mar is a bright and welcoming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in the heart of Aptos. With its unbeatable location, expansive layout, and multiple indoor/outdoor gathering spaces, this home is made for memory-making.

Fantastic stay in Aptos home near beach

Roomy, warm house just a 5 mins walk from our favorite beach in Aptos. We stayed here with our 4 children and had plenty of room, lots of peace and quiet, modern amenities (Netflix, etc) and just a short walk to a beautiful (and doggy friendly) beach. Would love to stay here again!

Fabulous Aptos vacation

We had a wonderful holiday in Aptos with our family of 3 young men. The location is very close to the beach and the house had plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Plenty of seating and one giant TV that allowed for fun family movie nights. Will return again next year!

Five Star Review

We are locals (30 miles away) who needed a place to stay while our floors were being refinished. Wonderful stay all around. We will return when we need a place to stay for the next phase of our remodel. Highly recommend

We truly enjoyed our visit. They only complaint would be the kitchen. It’s small and we cooked a lot

We rented in Aptos to be nearer our daughter and son-in-law in Monterey. We are usually in Cambria. The rental process was very smooth. When we waffled on whether or not to stay for New Years, the owner was very understanding.

Neat House, Close to the Beach

The house is great for getting together with family, it has a neat set up with two kitchens. It is definitely a short walk to the beach down a path, only takes about 5 minutes. The path is a bit steep but we took a double stoller down Property manager was great, answered questions I had and was very understanding when we were a little late to leave after a car problem.

Gorgeous neighborhood, great for two couples

This two story home is in a great location. The second floor is almost self sufficient with a large living area and a mini kitchen. We were tortured by ants! I think an exterminator is in order. While there, there were issues with the upstairs toilet. A plumber was sent to no avail. The upstairs people had to use buckets to flush the toilet. We told the management company and they told us it would be dealt with after we checked out. The shower pressure downstairs was nonexistent. This may be considered being too picky, but, I really like a good cup of hot coffee. The downstairs coffee pot repeatedly produced weak lukewarm coffee no matter how much grounds we put in. The pot did not have an automatic shutoff- haven’t seen that in a long time. We didn’t know, and left it on by mistake. THERE IS SOME outdoor space but not much. Not really set up to be inviting or useful. all that being said, the price was good for that location. It doesn’t get any better than that neighborhood on the cliff while we were there. There was a giant art festival and we got to visit for artist studios right in the neighborhood. 4 old farts had a great time.

Great place to stay

Had a fantastic stay at 202 Kenneth. Walk-able (about 1/2 mile) to hidden beach park and a dog friendly beach. Beautiful path a block away to go steeply down to the beach. Very nicely appointed house. Good kitchen; small, but very functional. House was clean and orderly. Would recommend this spot for families to share.

Large comfortable home on bluff above beach

Very clean. Nice neighborhood for walking. Very comfortable beds. Convenient to have washer-dryer and space for three cars. Trail to beach is close by but challenging with young children and beach gear. Comfortable living room and upstairs great room, with plexiglass on upper railing for child safety. Pellet BBQ and outdoor table on level above kitchen was a bit challenging. Kitchen very poorly stocked—few bowls, glasses, and pots and pans; we ended up buying paper plates rather than using the heavy plates. Prefer beach level location.

Perfect Getaway

Home was perfect for a family vacation. Plenty of room to spread out. Upstairs family room was spacious. A short walk to the beach in a very quiet neighborhood. My 4 year old grandson was in his glory. His last words as we were leaving: “I’m going to miss this place!”

this is a spacious clean and bright home perfect for us and our friends with young children. close to the beach and nisene marks.. 2 kitchens is a great idea but they are sparsely appointed. plenty of plates, but bring your own cooking supplies and salt, pepper, spices, oil, if you wanna really use them.
