Majestic A-Frame, Upper Unit - with Hot Tub! | House in Aptos, CA

Summary:
This beautiful A-frame design (Permit 221336) is the Upper Unit on the shared property. It sits high in the trees and offers a majestic view. It requires a hike up roughly 100 stairs to get from the parking to the front door, but if that doesn't discourage you it will be worth it! The main floor includes an updated kitchen and a cozy living area surrounded by windows that look out on the treetops. Enjoy the relaxing hot tub up in the trees for the full experience!
The Space:
The long stairway leading up to the home is not for the faint of heart! It may seem a little daunting upon first arrival but once you see the beautiful views this elevation provides, you won't regret it.

- Due to a steep, ladder-like staircase leading up to the second floor, this is not accessible for everyone and is not a kid-friendly house, unfortunately.
- The property is divided into two homes and the bottom section of the property is occupied by neighbors. Due to the close proximity and shared wall, noise does travel and there is potential to hear the neighbors below.
Guest Access:
This home occupies the top two stories of the home and includes a private entrance, full kitchen, living area, spacious deck, and two bedrooms. The bottom portion of the home is a separate unit with its own private entrance and is not included in this listing. There is potential to hear the neighbors below. The parking area and long stairway up to the house is shared by both units.
The Neighborhood:
Aptos is a coastal gem nestled in Santa Cruz County. With its stunning beaches, including Rio del Mar and Seacliff State Beach, it's a haven for sun-seekers and surf enthusiasts. This charming town boasts a laid-back vibe, a mix of boutique shops, and a vibrant dining scene, making it a perfect destination for a relaxing vacation. The iconic Cement Ship at Seacliff Beach is a must-see, and nearby forested parks like Nisene Marks offer hiking and biking trails. Aptos combines natural beauty, small-town charm, and easy access to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, creating an ideal coastal escape for visitors.
This is a very quiet, family neighborhood. It is not a good place for gatherings or parties so please keep that in mind when booking this home. We are very respectful of our neighbors and will not tolerate loud noise past curfew and additional guests at the property.

Other Things to Note:
- You will have to climb 3 flights of concrete stairs, roughly 100 steps, to access your entrance. The first flight is particularly steep and may not be accessible for those who do not do well with steep stairs. The staircase to access the bedrooms on the second story is also very steep (similar to a ladder) and may not be suited for certain guests. The driveway and outside stairs leading up to the unit are shared.
- Noise does carry between the two units on the property, so there is potential to hear the neighbors below you.
- Due to the unique architecture of the home, the bathroom at the bedroom level does not have a typical door. It instead has a curtain (as photographed).
- We have landscapers, pest service, hot tub, and other property maintenance done on a weekly basis. You may see or hear these service professionals during your stay as they let themselves into the backyard to service as needed. Please be sure to ask about this before booking if you think it might be an issue for you.
- TV is a smart tv with streaming capabilities. There are no cable or local channels.
- The exterior of this home is monitored by 24/7 surveillance recording devices for safety.
- We are required to stick to our cancellation policy and we suggest adding trip insurance for any last minute issues that may impact your travel (Weather, Illness, etc). We are not able to cancel, move or refund bookings that do not fall in our cancellation policy for any reason.
