Excellent venue for our family celebration

We really enjoyed our stay at the property. The house is designed well to accommodate a good-sized family and was very comfortable. The amenities that were provided met all of our needs and then some. Beach access was just a short walk away.

Weekend getaway

Our group of friends is committed to this weekend every year at Pajaro. We’ve used dozens of houses and this one is the best. Owners are thoughtful and friendly. Every detail of the house shows their love and considerations. It’s such a breath of fresh air to interact with people who care to be human and not just in it for the money. We will definitely be booking again.

Would love to stay here again!

Perhaps I shouldn't be so enthusiastic about this house because I want to keep it available for future bookings for us!!! We (6 adults and one 2.5 yr old) just loved it. Well-appointed, comfortable, beach access, roomy. It is just what you want a beach house to be.

Better than the Pictures - Great House on the Beach!

This property is a true gem. It is obvious that the owners have taken great care to have the place well stocked with things visitors may need including kitchen essentials and PLENTY of towels for trips to the beach. The beach is very easily accessible. Great communication with the owner throughout our experience. Highly recommend this spot.

Life’s a beach!

Our family stayed for several days while we explored Hearst Castle and Pebble Beach. After spending too much time in the car (traffic) traveling to those places it was so nice to come back to the house! The house was perfect for family dinners and spreading out to decompress! But the best part of our trip was exploring the beach and watching the waves crashing! We all enjoyed morning and night walks along the shore! Thank you Denise!

Excellent location right on the beach!

I booked this vacation to have a relaxing labor day weekend with friends and family and it 100% delivered! Denise gave clear and concise instructions on everything from check-in, food recommendations nearby, to check-out. Lots of parking even for a holiday weekend, and very simple check-in to a gated community. Not to mention the beautiful beach! The house itself was also packed with amenities whether you're staying in or hanging out on the beach. Lots of space to lounge around in the house, from the large and open living room and sun room. If you're spending more time at the beach, she also provided boogie boards, sand castle buckets, and shovels! If you're looking for a relaxing beach side get away, then this is it!

This is our second year in a row staying at this beautiful house. The location is amazing right on the beach but also plenty to see and do in nearby towns. House is clean and well stocked with everything we need from the pack and play to plenty of beach toys and towels. Check out is easy and communication with the host was great.
