" I had a wonderful stay at Seascape Resort in Aptos. The location is beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. The 2 bedroom Villa was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The ocean views and easy beach access made the stay even better. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my visit. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely come back again. "
