Romantic Getaway to Seascape Villa, hotel in Aptos

Set in Aptos, Romantic Getaway to Seascape Villa offers a balcony with sea and pool views, as well as a year-round outdoor pool, hot tub and spa centre.

We stayed here overnight while traveling south from San Francisco. The location, and the pool access are very nice, and the apartment was much more spacious than we expected. Everything was clean and the kitchen was equipped well-enough to cook for a family. There are also some shops and restaurants in walking distance.
