An amazing view and plenty of space for the whole family. Great beach access and nice to have a driveway. Owner is very responsive. If you have a big group, plan to bring your own beach towels. Owner provides some.

This house is even more stunning in person: the pictures don’t even do it justice! We have stayed in all the Pajaro neighborhoods and just love it in general. The location of this house is lovely and was perfect for our large group of mixed adult couples and families. The upstairs master was stunning and we loved sleeping to the sound of the waves!

This property is ideal for a multi-family time together. Beautiful beachfront location and clean modern beach house. All amenities are available and with the layout, accommodates multiple schedules and activities. The only negative for us was the relatively early 10am checkout time which with 4 younger children posed a tight morning schedule to get everyone ready and on the road.

The house was exactly as described and pictured. It was clean and inviting. The beds were all comfortable. The view is spectacular. We had 4 families and each had their own space. Plenty of bathrooms for 10 people to get ready for the day. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed for our stay and more. We saw dolphins almost every day. The owner was very easy to deal with and answered any questions quickly. We would highly recommend the property for a relaxing Oceanside vacation.

We had a fabulous stay at this home! We were specifically looking for a beachfront property with three king bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and this house delivered perfectly. The remodel is beautiful, with large windows, a stunning waterfall island, and spacious living areas that made it easy for all of us to relax and enjoy.It was the perfect setup for me, my husband, my adult sister, and our parents for a long weekend. The neighborhood is gorgeous, the house had everything we needed, and we truly enjoyed our time here. We would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Home with Breathtaking Views

Incredibly property for our family reunion of seven young adults and parents. Remodel is beautifully done! Common area is exceptional for gathering, cooking, eating, playing games, watching movies, dance parties and simply enjoying the spectacular ocean views. Property manager is very responsive. We hope to be back!

A great escape

This property is incredible, and we had a great time. Check-in was a breeze; the house is well-stocked, the Wi-Fi worked great, and there were plenty of extras for travelers who want to enjoy the beach but didn't bring all the necessary items, such as sand buckets, kites, and chairs. We saw whales and sea otters every day, and the host recommended some restaurants that we enjoyed. Our kids enjoyed the beach, table tennis in the garage, and a visit to a local farm where they picked strawberries. We would stay here again and hope to be back next Summer.

Family Beach Vacation

This property couldn't have been more perfect for our large group of 12. Everyone had plenty of space and the view was spectacular. Lots of seabirds and we even saw an otter out in the surf. The house was fully stocked with everything you might need for a fun vacation with kids and adults in mind. We even discovered pickleball! Who knew it would be so fun?? Carl was responsive and made our stay run smoothly. All around a top-notch experience.

Relaxing Getaway

My entire family had such an amazing stay. The property is exactly as described and pictures do not do the view justice. There is not direct beach access from the back of the property. However, that is not an issue as the entire neighborhood is beautiful and it is just a short 3 minute walk to the sand/beach. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets from the comfort of the living room and amazing breakfast views from the dining room table. Kitchen also had everything we needed for cooking, and even baking, during our stay. Beautiful home and location. And would definitely stay here again.

4th of July stay

The house is in a great location between Santa Cruz and Monterey with exceptional ocean views. Great communication with everything that the house has to offer. We got to check in a little bit early, thank you Carl. Other than the couch is a bit uncomfortable, everything the house has is perfect along with an extra fridge in the garage for our large group. We did bring air mattresses to accommodate the extra sleeping arrangements. Thank you again!
