Rio Sands Vacation Rentals

I really enjoyed my stay. I will be back. Very close to the ocean. The breakfast was awesome. The room was very spacious and even had a kitchen and full refrigerator. Would love them to allow dogs. Absolutely nothing bad to say about the Rio Sands Hotel.

So happy we found the Rio Sands- check in/out was lovely, nice breakfast room with good food and a cozy fireplace, and a comfy large room with beachy vibes plus a view of the ocean from our balcony. Couldn’t ask for more!

We love the Rio Sands. Most affordable option out there.

We really enjoy the area and the pool. Unfortunately there were so many children running and screaming and riding skateboards and nobody tried to keep them from doing that it was very loud and noisy. Definitely was hard to sleep at night with people talking loudly on the balcony. Was spring break time so that's understandable. Upon arrival the stove was not level so when we tried to cook the eggs moved all to one side they may need to address that overall everything is fine just not as great as last time we stayed here would definitely recommend just next time stay upstairs due to noise and check out the kitchen before you sign off because you may need to have them adjust the equipment. The pool is very clean they do a great job of keeping the property clean found a contact lens on the floor in the bathroom upon arrival not a big deal but maybe they need to pay a little closer attention to detail in that area no one wants to see that. The place didn't smell bad at all which is great A lot of times older rooms will have a bad odor this place did not smell bad. The bed was very comfortable would have gotten plenty of sleep if not for the noise. We'll definitely stay here again just not during any school break.

It was our second

It’s close proximity to the beach made our stay amazing!

When we come down to Aptos area , we ALWAYS stay at Rio Sands. But this time, it seems to need an update in the rooms. The bathrooms especially, toilets are old , sink and tub too! We had a room with no kitchen but the room next door had a kitchenette. It’s seems easy to add a sink to this room for more patron convenience! We gave always had a complete breakfast now it’s minimally, you need to bring that back! We love the heated pool and spa great area!

This was a great place to stay and very kid friendly. The only negative is we had a downstairs unit and the people upstairs were very noisy walking around back and forth. The spa and heated pool were a plus with my kiddos. A block from Seacliff/Rio Del Mar beach. Lots of memories here and it was fun to make new ones with my family. Will stay here again.
