Guest suite in Aptos

El Nido; a Peaceful, Relaxing, Restorative Retreat

As an artist, I'm deeply interested in aesthetics. I think I've succeeded in creating a beautiful, restful venue for relaxation. The queen size bed overlooks a bird sanctuary over the Valencia Creek watershed. The kitchen includes a fridge stocked with goodies, toaster oven, microwave, coffee pot, French press and cooktop for light cooking. You're welcome to use the oven/stove in the main kitchen with prior arrangements. A backyard gas barbecue is available for heavier cooking (or if you're planning to cook fish!) Hairdryer and shampoo are available in the spacious private bath. Thick terry robes are provided for your comfort, and beach towels and chairs if you decide to spend some time on one of our beautiful beaches. There's a large flat screen smart TV complete with Netflix. Lots of reading material and a writing desk are also here for your use. You have a private entrance with a coded entry. You have a private entrance with a coded entry. Your rooms are private and you have your own porch and you're welcome to use the yards/patios. I share the front house with my partner and our two dogs. We'd love to meet you and perhaps share a cup of coffee or a glass of wine (depending on the time of day!) but will also respect your need/desire for privacy if you prefer. I'm happy to provide any information or amenities that will make your visit more comfortable and enjoyable. This home is close to the beautiful beaches of the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary and the Forest of Nisene Marks, just a mile from Aptos village, south of Santa Cruz and the Boardwalk and north of Elk Horn Slough and The Monterey Bay Aquarium. Parking is easily available on our quiet cut-de-sac. The flagstone path to the left of the property will lead you to a gate and your private porch/entrance. Provide a 4 digit code before you arrive and I'll program the entry for your convenience. No keys to hassle with. Public transit is available one mile from the house. Uber is a popular alternative in our area. We're just minutes away from a thriving downtown scene complete with music venues and restaurants, shopping, art galleries, and the SC Beach Boardwalk. Whale watching, kayaking, cycling and hiking trails are also just minutes away. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, or those looking for a quiet retreat.

Unplug in the Undercroft

Jessica MahlonRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Gail place was very suited for my husband and I stay. I initially chose Gail’s place because of the reviews! And I was not disappointed. It’s charming and located in the hills, so if you’re looking for modern and metro this is not the place. However the space is well kept , intimate and has everything you could need! ( I am not exaggerating). We even managed to sneak one more activity into our trip because Gail’s place came stocked with local fruits , items to make breakfast so we didn’t have to go out for breakfast . Not to mention a wide array of healthy snacks and toiletries for for use . The room was equipped with everything . Could have easily stayed 48 hrs in the room without leaving . Everything works and works well. Would definitely come back to Gail’s place. It was convenient stay to view the sites off route 1. I recommend 10/10

JosselynRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for Alexis hospitality during our recent stay. She was extremely responsive to our questions and made sure we felt right at home. The home's cleanliness and organization contributed to a comfortable atmosphere, especially with two toddlers. We particularly appreciated the availability of Netflix, which was a great asset for keeping the toddlers entertained. The ample space in the home also provided a convenient and relaxing environment for our family. Basic necessities were provided and more! Thank you again for providing a welcoming and family-friendly space. We look forward to the opportunity to stay again in the future.
