About this home

The Iconic Bayview is a fully-equipped Hotel with Bar and Grill on an historic setting marked by what is believed to be the largest magnolia tree anywhere on the West Coast. Long recognized as one of the significant buildings in the County, this Italianate masterpiece presides at the heart of newly-revitalized Aptos Village, surrounded by the area's hottest shops and restaurants, with views of the Monterey Bay in the distance. Upon entering the lobby, you are greeted with a sense of the history within its hallowed halls, under high ceilings of stamped metal. The towering bar has operated with a type 47 liquor license which can be separately acquired. The facility is also provided with a full commercial kitchen that has been put to good use for events both small and large. To the rear, a broad patio opens out to the remaining relics of the lush gardens that bedeck its outdoor venues and carry echoes of the many memories that have been celebrated here through the years. In all, the hotel offers 14 state rooms, most of which include en-suite baths or showers, including several suites which have been traditionally reserved for use by its operators and/or staff. This is a rare opportunity, offered on the 50-year anniversary of its dedication as a landmark on the historic registry.
