My husband and I celebrated our mini honeymoon at Seascape last year and loved our experience so much that we came back to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. From the moment we arrive, the staff is always warm, welcoming, and accommodating. We'd also like to give a special shoutout to the golf cart drivers--every single one we've had has been incredibly friendly, polite, and made getting around the resort such a pleasant experience. We love all of the nearby restaurants, and this time we finally had the chance to try Sanderlings. The food was delicious!! The resort itself is absolutely beautiful, but our favorite part is the direct beach access. The beach is always clean, peaceful, and the perfect place to relax and unwind. Seascape has become a special place for us, and we can't wait to continue making memories here. We'll definitely be back! read more

A very disappointing return to a resort that once meant so much to our family. We've been coming to Seascape for more than 10 years, and I have so many childhood memories here. I returned hoping my kids would experience the same feeling, but unfortunately, our recent one-night stay was a major disappointment. We paid approximately $600 for Room #614. We specifically requested the 600s but were initially assigned a room in the 400s before eventually being moved. The room had far too many issues for the price: filthy floors that turned our bare feet black, a filthy master bedroom deck, a broken front-door lock, no AC, TVs that didn't work, a strange smell upstairs, uncomfortable furniture, a loose shelf, dusty fan, poor-quality utensils, and no basic items like potholders or sharp knives. The food pricing was also difficult to justify: a kids' chicken nugget and fries meal was around $45, while my burger was $38 without fries. The beach access and ocean views are still beautiful, but those positives don't make up for the overall decline in cleanliness, maintenance, and service. It genuinely makes me sad to see a place that meant so much to our family change this much. We were local and only stayed one night, but I would be hesitant to recommend an extended stay under the current conditions. read more

I have a very difficult relationship with Seascape Resort. We stay here at least two full weeks annually, sometimes more. We have been doing this for well over a decade. The resort has been part of my life for over 30 years in one way or another, since my extended family has a place nearby. Watching deer scamper past you in the morning and evening can be magical, the golf cart rides come in very handy for schlepping kids to and from the beach, and I love the solitude of the beach trails for running. Hands down, the most beautiful views and property in Aptos. Having a condo as opposed to a traditional hotel room is also really great as a home base for a beach vacation. Aptos itself is my favorite part of the greater Monterey Bay Area, since it's a great balance between cooling, misty fog, and brilliant vibrant blue sky beach days. It's also quieter than Capitola, Santa Cruz, or Monterey. So... the complication... the service at this resort is laughably horrendous. It's unpredictable at best, non-existent at worst, and I cannot figure it out even after years of staying here. Reservations: do not try to make them online. For whatever reason, the online system is wholly inconsistent with the actual price and/or rooms available. You have to call. Often more than once. There are rooms available not listed, specials and/ or exclusions that are unclear, and reservations made online (for the hotel or amenities like s'mores) are not always honored. On our most recent trip, my husband booked s'mores only to get there and find out they had no record of the booking. Rooms/Suites: the size, cleanliness, and age of the suites vary significantly. Some two bedroom beach front condos are spacious and catch a great ocean breeze, some are modern and finely appointed, some have rusted over shower heads and frayed carpets. But they're all the same price. You have to know which units suit you. Pest control: I get it. This region has some issues with pests, but every single stay, regardless of unit, we have a terrible ant problem. This year was one of the worst, in the master bedroom including getting in the bedding and the toiletries. When we call to have it addressed, we often have to call multiple times, plus go by the front desk, just to have one guy come out to set traps and spray. We have lost food, woken up covered in ants, and had to deal with these pests again and again. The resort does a horrible job of pest control, and are barely responsive when you call. Trust me when I say we take every precaution, but they just don't do their part. Keep in mind, it's $1000 a night. Repairs: one trip our fridge shorted out twice. Another there was so much rust on a shower head that the water ran red. Windows are sticky, screens are broken and/or frayed. On our last trip, the fire alarm blared twice at 12 am and 1:15 am, waking up the family, frightening everyone, and turned out to be fire alarms so caked in dust inside that they malfunctioned. Literally every single condo has issues. It's clear they don't do any preventative maintenance, and rely on guests to call out issues or to fix things themselves, since it takes hours and multiple calls to resolve issues. Maid service: OMG. This may be my biggest issue. After Covid, they stopped doing it. You can request it once on longer trips, but they don't have adequate staff and they do a horrible job (probably due to understaffing). The first thing I do I clean the whole place top to bottom, and repeat every night. Be prepared to clean your own room and don't count on dirty towels being picked up/replaced. They'll sit out front for days. So, why do we keep coming at great expense? Proximity and location. That's it. I deeply love Aptos and Seascape, but I am also increasingly troubled by the ever increasing cost for less and less service ($700 for s'mores, really??). But this place holds memories and a lot of special times. So I just soldier on. If you, like me, are willing to deal with the above to have a home base that is stunning and safe, don't think twice. But do not expect luxury, expect to do a lot of your own work, and definitely expect ants. read more

Fantastic resort with full amenities, only reason for 4 stars was because they charged 10$ for a draft modelo in a small cup at the bar. Our room had a sofa bed with a perfect view of the sunset. Will definitely come back next year! read more

The grounds are beautiful as the view to the ocean! Did not stay here but always walk to the restaurant for happy hour! The food has always been great and still is! The BLT was perfect! Our table ordered steak nachos, Caesar Salad, wings and the potato soup! The wings were perfect and the salad was the best Ove had in a long time! Sat out on deck with ocean view and it was perfect! The service was great even with the new server! Everything was great! No complaints! read more

Amazing for a staycation, beautiful property with a private beach, a playground and a sports center. The fireplace in the lobby is so cozy and gives such a vacation feel to the whole atmosphere. The rooms are well designed to maximize space and comfort. Kitchen is well stocked with all the needed cookware and dishwater. Added perk, they have golf carts to take you around the property as needed. The views from all points across the property are simply stunning. Really enjoyed the sunsets once from our room and once at the beach. If you are looking to stay in the aptos or Santa Cruz area, this is a great choice. Very family friendly too. read more

Dear Josh, Thank you for making our stay at Seascape Beach Resort so enjoyable. Your kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail truly stood out and made us feel welcome from start to finish.

Planning a weekend getaway trip to Santa Cruz/Aptos area with kiddos? We recently stayed at the Seascape Beach Resort and it was so fun. Here's a few recommendations and things to take note on. Upon arriving there was an Aloha Friday taking place (reservations required even for guests of the resort), so recommend asking during the summer months when booking if there are any events you can take part in. There are two pool/hot tub areas to enjoy, and if you're staying by the pool next to the bar/restaurant, you can have your drinks & eats delivered poolside. Also to note, you can take a golf cart (driven by staff) to the beach with your party/and beach gear, and text when done for pickup. With a kiddo who was experiencing sand and water for the first time, this was an amazing opportunity and asset to have. Other notes: Capitola isn't too far from this location and we did a walk by the water, shops, and grabbed dinner/ice cream the night of arrival since the Aloha Friday was booked. If you need anything for your room or want an early morning coffee, in walking distance essentially across the street is a shopping center with Seascape Foods (cute grocery store with knickknacks, fresh/warm to-go breakfast/lunch foods, beach gear, and the grocer essentials), South Point Seascape - Taproom & Coffee House (brews, live entertainment, coffee/teas, breakfast pastries/etc), and I heard there were a few restaurants like a pizza joint you could order and bring back over to the pool/room. The resort landscape is stunning ~ highly recommend taking in the beauty of Aptos. We did a Saturday morning walk on the premises and it was gorgeous. We did dinner one night at the resort also and that was fun..we brought a bottle of wine and enjoyed sunset eating outside. They do have experiences like s'mores and renting cabanas, but we decided we could enjoy the amenities without the extra steep fees. Checking out the beach at the resort vs going to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk was a win for us, so can't speak highly enough about utilizing a ride in the golf cart. All in all, would go back for maybe an annual trip? While some things may need a bit of updating for Seascape, it's a great spot with fun staff and epic views centrally located to beach vibes & tides. read more

The resort area looks beautiful I wish I got a chance to really explore it. This is mostly a review on the room itself. I got the partial ocean view studio spa. We got to the room and the layout was nice and looked very clean. We went to go see the private balcony area the back door was not locked at all and there was no view. No A/C. The chairs in our table area had a weird smell to them. It's all I could smell when sitting down. I did enjoy spa it was warm and very spacious. But for the price I paid I wasn't too impressed. read more

Ohhhhh! I think I am getting spoiled! Seascape Beach Resort is the bomb! Located in quiet, sleepy, and off the grid... Aptos, CA... just down the road from Santa Cruz. It has always been my, have a glass of champagne on the patio, hang out for years. I finally booked a condo and OMG... what had I been waiting for. Seascape Beach Resort has it all! It first opened in 1993 as a conference center and resort. Today the resort features 285 suites and villas, conference rooms, Sanderlings Restaurant, an 18-hole golf course, 3 outdoor pools, 12 tennis courts, fitness center, and spa services. My condo was beautiful. Updated... thoughtfully and elegantly decorated. Amenities, including kitchenette, fireplace, private balcony, room service, high speed internet access, and the best view on the Monterey Bay. Waking up every morning, brewing da cup of joe, and walking out the door was the highlight! Because a mere 7 minute walk took me to my favorite spot over looking the big, blue Pacific Ocean. An additional 5 minutes and I could be strolling on the sandy beach. How cool is that? All that walking (haha) makes a body hungry. Back to Sanderlings Restaurant to enjoy a delicious breakfast or lunch (yes, evening dinner is served too), on the patio with an ocean view. I have had my share of eats here. The service is impeccable, the food on point and that view is killer. A great bar is steps inside the restaurant with any libation you may desire. I love how big the property is. Huge! Condos and villas all spread out. A feeling of space awaits you. You could certainly get all your daily "steps" in... or not. Golf carts are at your beckoning call. They provide a phone number and all you have to do is dial:). Seriously! They will pick up from anywhere, anytime on the property and drop you off anywhere on the property. Even from the beach. Pretty cool amenity for sure! Every night, the lobby fire place called my name. A night cap before retiring was special and I am missing that. There is so much to do... or not! Entirely up to you. Families definitely welcome and they were all having the times of their lives. I know I did. So make that reservation. Park the car. And dive into fun, fun, fun! S'mores on the beach anyone? read more

My Husband planned a surprise get away for us for Valentine's Day weekend and it was wonderful. The staff upon arrival came out and opened the door for me and while my husband checked us in right then , no wait. I enjoyed the lobby fire pit. They let us know about the amenities (pools and hot tubs) , their restaurant and bar and other activities for the weekend. We loved that after a day of hiking their golf cart drivers took us down and back to the private beach for sunset. You can rent a bonfire they tend for you with s'mores. We did not buy one but looked nice. We enjoyed breakfast at their restaurant and also one evening had a cocktail at their bar and there was live music which was very nice. The room had a gorgeous view of the ocean with a fireplace, a large closet, comfortable bed, with stocked and full kitchen. The negative :( Our bathroom , sadly it was very tiny and the shower head was horrible. The connection between shower and toilet was one door that barely fit in the space. Bathroom needs a remodel! Over all 5 stars would LOVE to stay again! read more

Charging the same price as some other amazing hotels and not worth it during peak season. No room service for breakfast (even though they told me they had it) packed with people partying and the rooms walls are super thin - I could hear everything around us. Book another overpriced hotel for your vacation. read more

An Unforgettable Evening at "Whiskey on the Water" The "Whiskey on the Water" dinner series at Seascape Beach Resort is an absolute masterclass in hospitality. Jesse Scott and his team have created a hosting experience that rivals some of the finest dining events I've ever attended. Perched atop the Seascape bluff overlooking Monterey Bay, the setting is simply breathtaking. Watching the sunset over the Pacific creates the perfect backdrop for an elegant evening. What truly sets this event apart, however, is the exceptional service. Every member of the staff was attentive, polished, and genuinely invested in making the experience memorable. Their attention to detail rivaled--and in many cases exceeded--that of many five-star establishments. The food and whiskey pairings were outstanding. Chef Jae Moon delivered an exceptional menu that paired beautifully with an incredible selection of bourbons, including several rare expressions that even seasoned collectors don't often have the opportunity to enjoy. The educational component elevated the evening even further. The Suntory representative shared fascinating history and insights with the perfect balance of expertise, personality, and humor, making each tasting both informative and entertaining. From the spectacular setting and world-class hospitality to the remarkable food and exceptional spirits, every detail was thoughtfully executed. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend attending one--or several--of these upcoming dinners. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish, and I can't wait for the next one. Highly recommended! read more

Our stay was fine but the place is old and tired. We liked that our unit was 2BRs (1 for my wife and me and 1 for our 18 y.o. who was with us) but for what we got it was still expensive. I guess our townhome suite could have made more sense if we had a group of 5-6 - and we saw some high school and college-age kids packed into rooms so maybe we're just not the demographic. Plus when my wife went to our patio for some vacation-style peace and views, she had a lady taking a loud real estate sales call on speaker on the other side of the patio wall. So much for serenity - whether or not the ocean was in the distance (not nearly as close as we expected). When we checked in we asked about the s'mores on the beach which my wife had heard about but it was fully-booked and did y'all know that starts at $200?!?!? I guess it entails renting one of the fire pits at the end of the beach path where you can't even see over the dune where the waves break. Color me skeptical. If they wanted a cheaper option all they'd need is a communal fire pit somewhere and a kit with the fixins. I guess that would compete with the premium individual fire pit experience - for which the pits looked pretty mid to us in the daylight. This resort seemed worn out to us and with the units individually owned I don't know how they'll ever make this place nicer. It was fine and the location is pretty but I don't see us coming back. read more

Seascape Beach Resort - S'mores fire pits at the end of the beach path - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Aptos, California

Let me start by saying the resort is gorgeous and the staff at the bar set a great tone for New Year's Eve. My husband and I had drinks, enjoyed the appetizers, and spent time on the patio -- we were genuinely having a 5-star experience... until we weren't. We ordered DoorDash to the room. After finishing our drinks outside for about 30-40 minutes, we came back to our room and were met with a full-on ant infestation. They were everywhere -- counters, walls, corners. It was beyond disgusting. There is no sugarcoating this. The room was not habitable. We called the front desk immediately. The response? "We'll write it down." No empathy, no action, no urgency, and no offer to move us to another room. No manager contact. No help. Nothing. I have a phobia of ants, and this experience triggered a physical and psychological reaction. I could not stop feeling like ants were crawling on me. It got so bad that I slept in the car -- not because I wanted to, but because I felt unsafe, unheard, and unsupported. On New Year's Eve, no less. At sunrise, we checked out extremely early and left immediately due to the disgusting nature of what transpired. We still have not received a single follow-up from management. That alone speaks volumes. read more

I don't think I have never had a worse stay in my life. It's death by a thousand cuts. At face value it's beautiful. I've scrimped and saved and we paid thousands for this weekend, reserving the ocean front spa suite. The spa itself had a huge chip in it, but the rest of the suite was clean. Except for the black widows (multiple) in the bathroom. There's no sound proofing, you can hear every step of the floors above you. Including a cute but energetic toddler running back and forth for an hour. Expected at a motel 6, surprising at a 4 star resort, not the end of the world but notable if you want something peaceful. My husband emailed the hotel about the black widows (we killed one and another would appear) and they moved us to a "better" room. A room that the floor below us, diagonal to us, and next to us are all doing renovations all day long. And the new suite doesn't have a spa. Not relaxing and definitely not a 4 star experience and feels like a downgrade, but I'm desperate at this point to enjoy my weekend with my husband. You have to wear plastic club bracelets if you want any resort amenities, like a cart ride down to the beach that is deceptively far away. Nothing on the website tells you that it's a 10 minute walk minimum with a steady incline/decline. And again if you don't feel like wearing a bracelet like you're at great wolf lodge, you're walking. We ordered one of their en suite spa treatments for me, a massage. The massage therapist was a lovely woman who mentioned I could start in my robe. I didn't have a robe and she said there should be one in the closet. There wasn't. She suggested to call front desk to provide the robe and after waiting a few minutes, we just continued with the massage. They never showed up with a robe, which was disappointing. Our final night ended the lower neighbors starting a fire in a fire ring and smoke pouring in our slider door to the point I had to close it and not hear the ocean or enjoy the fresh air. They then left the fire unattended. The whole suite smelled like smoke and the front desk didn't offer a solution. The weather was perfect for an open window to listen to the waves and that couldn't happen. The restaurant food is good but the service was non existent. We tried to order room service breakfast and were told they don't do room service until 10am. Ok so we go to the restaurant where staff is so vacant that we don't even have a server, don't get a water refill or the drinks we ordered, and had to walk up to pay after waiting 20 minutes after someone took our plates. The restaurant supervisor took my payment without a word, didn't ask how the meal was or seem concerned that I had to walk up to pay. The second time we tried to order food (room service) I was told the room service cart was broken down and it had to be in Togo containers, and it would be 30 minutes. After waiting an hour I called and was put on hold for 10 minutes. I then was told it's another 30 minutes and the hostess hung up on me. I called and canceled the order and we ordered door dash. I called the front desk and was told that the restaurant is separate from the resort, so keep that in mind if you plan on just staying in and trying to enjoy the area. Any of the issues brought up were met with impatience and indifference. read more

We were looking a local not too far getaway and this place fit the bill! We stayed in the two bedroom villa with the ocean view and it was such a great experience. The rooms were spacious for a family of 5, the kitchen was nice to cook in and hearing the ocean waves at night and in the morning was so lovely! We were right by the pool too and they had a hot tub. I appreciated that the pool was heated!! It's a short walk down to the beach. The only thing to be aware of is there is a LOT of poison ivy around the property so stay off the beaten path. The walk to the beach was nice and the kids got ti play in the sand. Make sure to bring running shoes, and not just flip flops like me There's a small village nearby where you can get groceries and do some shopping. However the local market is pretty pricy so I'd recommend driving a few minutes away to the grocery store. Overall it was a lovely stay and I'd totally come back! read more

We stayed at Seascape Beach Resort for a wedding and booked one of the partial ocean view suites. The room was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. The view from the patio was absolutely beautiful and definitely the highlight of our stay. It was a little dusty in some areas, but overall the suite was nice and well-equipped. The location and views make it a great spot for a relaxing coastal getaway. read more

First off I booked a partial ocean view room in which unpaid extra for. My view was a dirt lot. My wife and I were woken up at 7am by loud drilling, construction trucks, large truck reverse back up beeping, hammering which went in for several hours. I reached out and they told me it was out of their control. We then get out of bed to find ants all over the counter in the room. Overall the property was pretty and the facilities were nice. Just dissapointed I paid almost $700 a night to look at a dirt lot with absolutely no ocean view whatsoever. Be aware that if you book partial ocean view, it means no ocean view at this place. read more

Great place for families. We enjoyed our stay and all the amenities. The golf cart service up and down to the beach was efficient and easy, especially with kids and toys for beach play. The onsite restaurant and bar were fine as well. There were a few menu items not available during our stay but we were able to pick something else. For kids it's your general kid food items (pasta, chicken nuggets, etc). We did not visit the sports complex and only used the main pool at the hotel. Kids enjoyed it and had fun. There is a park down the road which the golf cart service can take you for littles to play and burn energy. It is walkable as well, took us about 15 minutes I think to stroll back along the path. Staff were friendly. Nothing felt like a bother to ask anyone. We plan on booking another stay here next summer. read more

We rented a two bedroom villa with an ocean view. Very comfortable. Cool view. Whales in the ocean in the distance. The chicken tenders at the restaurant made my 9 year old sick for some reason. My grilled chicken sandwich was undercooked. The golf cart shuttle service to the beach was great. Usually arrived within three minutes of calling them. I would give 4.7 stars if I could. Just the food issue made it a 4 star rating. Staff was also super nice and attentive via text. read more

My husband and I came to Seascape to enjoy a weekend "staycation" and the resort is amazing. We were greeted at check-in with cookies and sparkling wine, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Our studio spa room was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed. I loved the concierge feature to be able to connect with the front desk via text. The one issue we faced was a LOT of noise from the room above us during the second night of our 2 night stay. We called the front desk to report loud stomping and running and they said there was nothing they could do until quiet hours, which was a few hours later at 10pm. No problem, we waited and called again at 10pm and were assured it would be addressed. I am not sure if they just never got in contact with the room above us, but the loud noises continued off and on until 2am, which was very obnoxious and made it hard to sleep. I received a text in the morning reminding me of the checkout time and telling me to check out via text, and when I made another complaint of how late the noise continued I received no response, which was off-putting. I understand that there's only so much they can do about other guests, but a big part of that is being responsive and caring. We have loved Seascape our two stays there but I am not sure we will stay again due to this lack of care. read more

We stayed here in the resort and enjoyed afternoon drinks at the bar. Colin was working and he was absolutely amazing! Such a kind and helpful bartender! His service was so good & professional.

The grounds are beautiful and staff were great. A three for outdated, musty, dusty units. Our unit was one of the 2 bedroom villas, which was more of a dark two story condo. Pictures were misleading looking open, airy, modern and it was the opposite. Needs a remodel in the rooms bad. read more

Great customer service! All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The resort offers golf cart rides to and from the beach daily until 10pm. There's a little villa right across the resort, however, not much options there plus everything closed early. The seascape resort comes with complimentary visit to the seascape sports club, which has pools, playground, tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball court, and indoor gym. We enjoyed our stay there very much. The rooms were nice and clean. Didn't expect our regular room was like an apartment instead of the regular 300sq ft ordinary hotel room. It was a nice surprise. It has a balcony and a fire place with sofa bed if needed and a couch. A small child will fit in the couch as a bed if comes in need. Otherwise, the four of us (two adults and two kids) had plenty of room inside. read more

The only thing going for it was the location. The suite that we used for 2 days as a group of 6 was a postage stamp of corporate America that shows no hospitality or care for comfort. There was no welcome book telling us about the space. The door cards stopped working within the first day, shades for privacy weren't working, inadequate supplies of soaps and no air circulation throughout the suite. It was stuffy and hard to sleep. Our first night was spent being upset at the poor accommodation for all the money we spent. I do not recommend this resort. Please look elsewhere. read more

Disappointing trip to Seascape (we've been here many times but not for several years). First, we had to keep our windows and sliding doors shut because neighbors were smoking and it permeated into our unit which is unacceptable with young kids - when we reported it upon our checkout, front desk didn't care and the young kids at the front desk laughed when I walked out. The kitchen faucet leaked - also front desk didn't care until I mentioned that it we realized it leaking under the sink, toiletries were out, we found a spider nest in one of the bedrooms, the lower bathroom toilet seat was broken: all in all, disappointing. If I owned a condo there that Seascape was responsible for maintaining, I would be furious. Oh, and a firepit for 4 is now $250! Views through the closed sliding glass door were beautiful. read more

I wish I would check the reviews before coming Let me start from the beginning. Just buried my dog and wanted to stay away from everything. So called the resort, been told the room I wanted was available and I just drove there After admitting that they screwed up, it takes them two hours to move you to a new room -which by the way they fully charged anyways. Oh forgot to say so. There is no spa at the premises and prior checking. I asked if there is any massage and or spa services. so they have recommended this person to me.644$ for couples massages and facials - the LADY didn't even show up for the appointment The best was in the morning after they sent me the text.-"How was your day and blah blah blah".." the resort manager will reach out to you in a day or so" Well , 7 days after - still waiting. read more

Seascape Beach Resort - This is the room they check you in. 600$ a night - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Aptos, California

For this being a resort at over $500 a night a lot more should be included in the resort fees. You have to pay extra for almost everything and nothing is really included. For the s'mores by the campfire at night it cost extra, to ride the bikes it cost extra. The electric charging vehicle station was not in service (which is one of the reasons I booked my stay here) and one of the ice machines were not working. Had to wait over 2 hours for them to bring extra linens to my room. The restaurant on site does have amazing food and the golf cart service to the beach is included which is nice. And the views were amazing. read more

I rented two villas for my family to help me kiss my 40's goodbye. All I wanted was to wake up to the ocean and Seascape checked that box in a BIG way. From the initial reservation over the phone to checking out, the customer service was OUTSTANDING! This place isn't cheap so having great customer service made it WAY less painful. I was able to nab a Fall Rate Special so scored again. Two nights, 2 two bedroom ocean front villas for under $3k. Yes that's still expensive but way less than peak season and well worth the splurge. Although both units were 2bd 2ba oceanfront and in the same unit, they felt very different. Luckily I got the better of the two. Ha! My parents unit was dark with older styled furniture while mine was light and bright with a white kitchen and beachy furniture. We spent most of our time in my unit. I'd list the unit numbers but hey! Some things need to be kept secret and less sought after. Since we brought all our own food, it was great to have full refrigerators and ovens to make meals easy. The units did show a little wear. My toilet roll holder was broken and the shower door stopper was detached so one morning I actually got trapped in the shower and had to forcefully push the door hard to get out and the deck overhang was a little torn up due to rot I'm guessing. Other than that it was perfect. I went to sleep and woke up to the sound of the ocean which makes my heart just so happy. Although it was a splurge, it's one I'd totally do again. Close to Capitola which was awesome because we drove over to watch their October fireworks show and not to far to Monterey if we felt ambitious. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant this time but even with all the negative reviews, the place was packed with happy diners. We did stop at the bar for a celebratory birthday shot and the bartender was great! Thank you Seascape for making turning 50 a memorable one. I'll be back! read more

Stayed here for a family vacay, the townhouse is pretty nice and I love the mini bar area! They also equipped with everything you needed to make the old fashioned which I happened to have a single molted, it was perfect. The only issue is the guest bedroom's bed was suuuuper loud. read more

This is in a really beautiful location with amazinf access to the beach. You can probably just relax here no not have to leave. There are a couple pools, a bad and restaurant. Nice walking path along the bluffs, overlooking the ocean. The on-site restaurant is not as good as I'd like here, and there is no fitness center. read more

Seascape Beach Resort - Sunset - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Aptos, California

5 star based on, Location great! Atmosphere great! Room was nice with a very nice ocean view from balcony. The bed however 0 stars it was a horrendous torture pad! Front desk gave us extra sheets and a blanket but unfortunately it didn't help. What was meant as a restful birthday weekend ended up in a non restful painful weekend. Stayed in room 301. So if you want comfort this is not for you. For a $1000 weekend stay very disappointed and unfortunately probably will not be returning. read more

My family (myself, wife and two girls ages 6 & 8) returned to the Seascape Beach Resort for another 3 day getaway. This time we rented one of the villas via VRBO. Our previous stay was in October and this time we came in July. Pre-check in: They offer a service where they will build a bonfire on the beach and provide food, beverages and ingredients for S'mores (there is an additional fee for this). This is highlighted on the "Things to do'' section of their website. If you are interested in this you should reserve this in advance of your stay as they only have a limited number of firepits. Room: We had a two bedroom Villa. The rooms were very nice and were much larger than we expected. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen area had all the basics (plates, glasses, silverware, pots, pans, etc.) and it was equipped with all the appliances that you would expect. The living room also had a fireplace and nice balcony area that overlooked the South Bluff pool (there are 3 pools on the property). Property: The grounds are beautiful. The South Bluff pool was very nice and well maintained. There are trails with beautiful views on the property. The beach is just a 2-5 minute walk from the villas. There were not many people on the beach so it felt like we had the beach to ourselves. The beach was very clean and nice. Restaurants: There is the Sanderling restaurant that's on the property but we ended up getting take out from Village Host Pizza and Palapas (both were very good). Weather: Though it was July, it can get a little chilly at night and in the early morning. Extras: You can also reserve an evening beach bonfire with all the fixing for Smores. For ours we opted to add a pizza so we could have dinner by the fire while watching the sun set. It was just 4 of us but they provided enough pizza and s'more fixings for 7-8 people. The hotel staff picks you up from your room and drives you down to the beach. This ended up being the girls favorite part of the trip. If you have kids, or you are a big kid, I would recommend it! Staff: The staff was very courteous and helpful throughout our stay. We really felt well taken care of. read more

I have stayed here a few times over the years and I have always enjoyed the stays. The location is fantastic and the view of the ocean is spectacular. It's a short walk to the beach and you can walk for miles in either direction. The hotel itself is nice. The rooms had a great view of the ocean and were well equipped and clean. The staff is super nice. I wish they had more activities on-site to stay busy, we ended up going offsite a lot. Make sure to get a fire set up by the beach in the evening which the hotel will set up for free. read more

Best mini getaway. Came here to celebrate my anniversary and it was nothing short of amazing. Julie at the front desk was very kind and welcoming. Upon arrival there was a sweet card from the staff and a bottle of wine while also being surprised with some yummy cheesecake left chilled In the fridge! Josh was also very accommodating and made the booking process so easy. Customer service is top tier. Suite is also up to date and clean. Enjoyed the ocean view! 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone who is considering their stay at the Seascape Resort. Will definitely be returning soon. read more
