  • Features: In the late 1800s, the Aptos Hotel was built by the legendary founder of C&H Sugar, Claus Spreckels and was as elegant a hotel as you could find in its era. The hotel additionally boasted gorgeous panoramic ocean view honeymoon cottages above the surf line, but within easy walking distance of the ocean. 229 Wixon is believed to be one of the original cottages, built with Spanish charm, character, and filled with love. Today, though only a small remnant of its past the character, fun layout, iron work, gorgeous oak floors, natural light flow, huge lot, permitted guest house, and ocean peaks make this a very warm and inviting home. Though the trees have grown and surrounding neighborhood has sprouted, there is still a fantastic ocean view deck at the top of the lot. We are very proud to be presenting this gorgeous gem that has been lovingly maintained and is ready for the next chapter in its beautiful story.
