Great house for a big group! A little old but had all the necessary things for a large family.

Multitude of good touches. Every utensil you could possibly ask for. Loads of games, CDs, books, etc. Plenty of freezer and refrigerator space. Cooperative landlords. When the hot tub heating stopped working repairman was rapidly dispatched.

Enjoyed spending time at this home with our extended family. Lots of room and great yard both front and back.

The interesting layout in this large house worked well for us with the upstairs divided into thirds for 3 families with children (ages 3 - 20) & 2 couples downstairs. Wonderful eating areas inside & out. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked. Enjoyed both the front & back yards & the walk of 4-5 short blocks to the beach. Love Rio Del Mar beach with Aptos Creek as a safe place for the kids to play. Appreciated the wagon provided to take supplies to the beach.

Worked perfectly for 18 high school senior girls and two chaperones. There is a neighborhood wide 10 PM curfew, so no loud outside parties, but for a school trip that is perfect! I'm fairly certain one of the neighbors is closely monitoring this as we observed her taking photos of our vans as we arrived, presumably so she could report us should we get out of line ;). Great beach for playing in waves without a crowd is 3 blocks away. They do a pretty good job advertising the property, so I'll leave it there, but there are many other advantages to the property. Yard and house rooms are smaller than the pictures would lead you to conclude if you're not familiar with photography, but everything is so well laid out that 20+ would be no problem logistically (although due to Santa Cruz county laws you can't put more than 22 in the house).

We gathered at the Tudor Rose Mansion for my girlfriend's 60th birthday party. There were 19 of us and we all had a place to sleep! We played croquet on the front lawn, played a little frisbee golf, soaked in the hot tub (not all 19 of course), went to the beach, played video games, bbq'd on the backyard grill, and spent lots of quality time with family. A good time was had by all! I would highly recommend the TRM if you're visiting the Santa Cruz area.

This house was the perfect accommodations for a large group of us (20 adults, close friends). While there aren't a ton of large areas in the house (besides the kitchen/dining area), there is a huge backyard and plenty of funky chilling spaces. Far and away the highlight for us was snagging a fire pit on the beach 2 min walk away, though stake it out early, saturday night was busy (we were lucky enough to catch someone leaving). Only two comments I would make are that there was some renovation work going on at the property and also the neighbors are super concerned about noise and we had to make sure we were quiet after 10pm.

The home in Aptos was everything the pictures said it was. The owners were very understanding when we had a few hic ups along the way. Everything worked out and we thank the owners for hanging in there. The home was warm and inviting, not fancy, but very homey we loved all the twist and turns. Our time there was wonderful, and we will rent it again if the family is gathering in mass. We were in Santa Cruz to celebrate the passing of our mother, the home would have got her approval.

The Tudor Rose Manor is a fine place to have a large family, or a group of people who want to have a getaway time. The spacious courtyard with attractive plantings, hot tub, tables and benches is perfect for entertaining. I've attended several events, toured the two story house to observe the bedrooms, large dining room and kitchen, and the common room. In the future, this is the first place I will connect with to host my next family reunion.

We loved being with our family from Seattle, Kansas City, Issaquah, WA at the large family reunion home. Enjoyed the free firewood to take down to the beach for a sing-along and making samores! The hot tub was a delight after the beach walks too. The kids took the bicycles up the hill to Nicene Marks State Park and enjoyed a picnic at one of the many steams and picnic areas. Lots of room for everyone to be together, or in separate little areas and decks for quiet heart-to-heart talks.
