Everything inside the unit was comfortable and clean and functional. The bed is extremely comfortable. I love cooking in the kitchen. There wasn’t anything that I wished was there that wasn’t already there. My stay was lovely. Being able to look out to the ocean in the sky from the great picture windows and also from the bed was something I will never forget. It soothed my soul.

This was one of our best short-term rental stays. The host was responsive, the instructions were clear, everything was there and in good condition (no yard sale refugees), and the unit was super clean. Oh, and the beach and view are great. We don't usually go to a place more than once. For this place I'll make an exception.

Took my wife here for her birthday. We had a fabulous stay for 3 nights. The location was very peaceful and quiet. This unit was very clean and had everything we needed to cook meals. The bed was very cozy and warm and the bathroom very clean as well. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a quiet 2 person stay. We will be looking to return again we loved it so much.

Easy Beach getaway
Enjoyed a weekend away at Pajaro Dunes. A beach resort tucked away on the coast. Quiet, beautiful beach, foggy and cool (typical weather for June) and a nice break from inland heat.

About the host
Hosted by Condo Manager/Owner
Owners are Professionals living and working in Bay Area over 25 years. This condo is for personal use as well as rental. We love being at the ocean condo whenever possible.
Why they chose this property
Quiet getaway, feels like a private beach! We love being on the top (3rd) floor, very quiet with nice ocean view and abundant natural light, especially with high ceiling in the living room. In the night, we open the windows and doors for fresh air and ocean sounds and sleep. Until recent past we owned a beautiful unit on the 2nd floor with a super view for 10 years in the same complex but sometimes we felt claustrophobic because of minimum natural light and less privacy. So, we sold our 2nd floor unit, got a 3rd floor condo, remodeled and put to use. We really enjoy everything including sitting on the sofas and watching wave after wave with coffee cup or a glass of wine.
What makes this property unique
Beautiful view from living area of the condo including bedroom. Enjoy sunset sitting on the sofa or deck. Very fresh ocean breeze. Enjoy the top spacious condo on the top floor with quiet time.
