Top Aptos History Museum Hotel Reviews

Classic Beach House - Walk to Seacliff Beach

10/10 Excellent

"LOVED the property…inside and out. Most of all, enjoyed the outside living spaces! House is clean and well equipped. Very comfortable bed. Great communication prior to my arrival made the whole process seamless. It’s an easy walk to the beach, however there’s a lot of stairs once you get there. A park pass is also provided so you can drive there as well. Watched a pod of dolphins playing at sunset one evening. Lots choices of where to dine. A stop for ice cream at Marianne’s is a must!"

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Beautiful area around Aptos, you have the State Beach and a Redwood Forest to hike around in. (Easy hikes) especially for active seniors.The room was nice and clean, the beds almost as comfortable as I was hoping for. My only complaint was like most other hotel rooms is thin walls. We could hear conversations of the room next to us. . Breakfast there was very good and I recommend eating there. We spent one day and two night here and will stay again. Thank you"

Charming, Sunny Home!

10/10 Excellent

"This is one of our favorite places to stay in Aptos. The reverse floorplan gives you an open sunny kitchen/living room area and deck. Kitchen is very well stocked with cookware and everything you need to entertain. Downstairs bedrooms (2 adult rooms, one kid room) are roomy and comfortable with nice closets. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors friendly. We love this house. Our dog loved the deck. The beach! The beach stairs are very close and you are walking on the beach in moments. This year we saw whales in addition to dolphins and otters. Favorite places: Marianne's Ice Cream just a block away. Ambrosia Indian a few blocks away. We're addicted to Castelli's sandwiches. And, of course, Gayle's Bakery in Capitola."
