So I’m friends with the owners and I have to tell everyone that this place is one the best place I’ve been too. The rooms are so old fashioned, the location in the forest is amazing, and they make amazing food. Maybe the food is different as I am a staff but I recommend staying here if you need a break from life.

A wonderful quaint B&B in the hills of Aptos.
Breakfast was better than any restaurant!
Extremely cozy and comfortable beds. Beautiful grounds. Just a great place to stay. We visit every year!

I am still pinching myself that we were able to have our wedding at Sand Rock Farm. Sand Rock Farm is truly such a magical place! Jen and Derek are amazing and you can tell they truly love the property and being incredible hosts. Whether you are staying at a room in Sand Rock Farm or attending a wedding there, you will be treated to impeccable service and hospitality, all in an enchanting setting. I first found Sand Rock Farm when looking for redwood wedding venues in the Bay Area, but I immediately fell in love with the ceiling-less barrel room instead. The beautiful old stone walls are covered with ivy and string lights strung across complete the effect. The barrel room is hands down my favorite part of the venue, but literally everywhere you walk is picturesque. There’s charming furniture in the bed and breakfast, an arch covered with wisteria vines, a garden filled with beautiful old-fashioned garden roses, and so much more.

We had our intimate (less than 30 people!) ceremony and reception in the barrel room and Derek catered the food… which was incredible! I’m a wedding photographer, so I have actually had quite a bit of wedding dinners, but I would have to say our wedding dinner was the best I have ever had!! The flavors were amazing, everything was cooked perfectly. All of our guests raved about the food, especially my grandmother who literally said she had never had a better meal in her life. I cannot recommend Sand Rock Farm enough and highly highly recommend having your intimate wedding there!! It was perfect and a huge part of the best weekend of our lives. Thank you Jen and Derek!! You guys are amazing!!

What an incredible place Sand Rock Farm is. My husband and I were fortunate enough to be married here and cannot say enough wonderful things about the property and people at Sand Rock Farm Bed and Breakfast. From the moment we toured, we knew we had found something very special. Not only is every space unique, it is beautifully maintained and absolutely stunning. Jen and Derek were so welcoming and wonderful to work with throughout the entire process, as were all the incredible vendors they brought on board along the way including Eileen and Sonia from E Events, our talented florist Amanda and Five Star Catering. Everyone we encountered was professional, warm, fun and easy to communicate with. As if that weren't enough, our stay in the B&B the weekend of our wedding exceeded any and all expectations. The house is so charming and the breakfast was absolutely fantastic! Our wedding was more wonderful than we could have imagined and so memorable, our guests are still commenting on how amazing Sand Rock Farm is! For those reasons and so many more, we'd like to extend our sincere thanks to Jen and Derek for their hard work, dedication, kindness, and for sharing this incredibly special place with others so it can become part of our story. We'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a serene weekend away or wedding celebration.

My husband and I recently got married at the Sand Rock Farm, and our entire wedding party stayed there the weekend of our wedding. Kris did an outstanding job helping us to plan our wedding. She was very prompt and organized and had a lot of connections to local vendors. She was very experienced in the ins and outs of planning a wedding and was a helpful resource throughout the process. Our actual wedding was so magical...the venue is truly one of a kind. And the inn was a wonderful place to stay, both for us and for our wedding party. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, delicious food, plus so much fun to be staying at our wedding location with our closest friends and family! We would highly recommend Sand Rock Farm, both as a beautiful and relaxing place to stay and as an amazing place to get married.

It's obvious the owners want you to be well taken care of and for the B&B to feel like home. The food is outstanding and fancy. There is even special smelling soaps and lotion in the bathroom. The heating works well so we were never cold and the beds are comfortable. Everyone I spoke with enjoyed the accommodations. The wedding was lovely in the venue and the service was terrific.

Have stayed here two times a d in two different rooms.
This house is beautiful and the owner is very friendly and accommodating. The last time I stayed in the garden suite which I recommend, it has its own private outdoor hot tub. The other rooms have their own private Jacuzzi baths also.
Like I said the house is beautiful, and it will bring you back to the Victorian era, but the grounds are even more beautiful.

The food is delicious, truly a great cook, and if you have special eating needs they will accomodate for you
