Aptos review

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The spot I have rented twice is the perfect spot for a calming view of the ocean. The apartment is well-supplied with kitchen utensils, and even with lots of games. Lots of privacy, too, if several guests.
