My friends and I stayed here for a few nights and had an absolute blast! We are already planning another visit. Everyone at the property was super nice and it’s a fantastic locations. Some amenities were a little dated and the front door lock needs to be redone but that was all very minor compared to the amazing stay we had. Can’t wait to come back and bring my other friends.

Hello Katherine,
Thank you for the amazing review!
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the sun and beach. We hope to have you stay again.
Kindest Regards,
Pajaro Dunes Team
The condo has a lot of potential. The morning ocean view and evening sunset is divine!! Area seemed to be secluded/not commercialized which was what we wanted to have a relaxing get away. Easy walking access to the beach. Constructive criticism.…the condo is dated. The inside needs to be cleaned & dusted. Shower stopped up on first day, bedding is old, dingy and torn. Kitchen faucet did not work properly, pet stains &/or spills on the carpets, none of the curtains opened or closed easily or properly. Second bedroom needs paint & was depressing to view. This may sound really picky, but you really should have all matching wine glasses/dishes instead of having completed with a bunch of odds and ends…After all it is all part of the experience. With a few changes we would definitely stay at your location again. Thank you for allowing us to critique your condo in order to make it better.
