Had a great time, staying 3 nights at this vacation home. Mr.Howard was very responsive and helpful. Had a wonderful time with family. The place had the necessary furnishing and the necessities for a family. Would love to stay again!
I love Pajaro Dunes! Such a beautiful peaceful place. The beach was beautiful, the condo was nice and well stocked. The check in was easy and we had a great time.
We've stayed in a lot of units at Pajaro Dunes. Honestly, they're all amazing - this location is ever stellar. This unit is refreshing for not being one of those sterile IKEA-stocked rental units where everything is blue glass and "beach" written in rope on the walls. There's really intriguing art and a generally really relaxing vibe. I love the mirrors! The use of the electronic lock made check in and check out a lot faster than other PD units - nice!Thanks for an absolutely wonderful stay!
The condo was exactly how it was listed. It was very comfortable and cozy. We were on the lower floor so you can hear the kids running upstairs but it was not all night. The beach access was so close from condo. I would go back again.
Wonderful Property with Amazing Management/Ownership
The condo was perfect for our family of four. It was clean, comfortable and so close to the beach. The management was really quick to respond and the owner was very kind. I loved staying here!
Great place to stay. Comfortable beds and small view of the ocean. Short walk to the beach and had a foot wash station right before entering the property. Weather was amazing and can’t wait to come back.
We had a perfect weekend at Pajaro Dunes, the house is literally 1 min walk from the a beautiful beach, clean and fully equipped ! Would definitely go back and strongly recommend for a family get away weekend
A beautiful place to feel peace and tranquility just steps from the beachfront. Although it was misty and chilly, it was relaxing by the fireplace and perfectly scenic. I recommend this location to anyone who wants a refresh!
The condo was exactly as stated in the listing and the owner was very prompt with all communication.
The location was great, it was a short walk to the beach where you could walk north into Sunset State Beach . The resort is gated with friendly. Easy drive to Monterey about 35-40 miles. It fit all our needs and we would stay again.
Great location with ocean view..well appointed kitchen. Host very responsive

Great condo, great beach!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo was clean and comfortable and the access to the beach was fantastic. We would definitely stay here again. We had activities planned in both Monterrey and Santa Cruz so it was a great location in between for us. The staff were extremely friendly and we had no problems with noise or neighbors. Great stay!
The place was really nice and inviting. The view from the living room is amazing. The surrounding area is beautiful as well. I also liked the way the design of the condos and walkways were. I would definitely come back.
Would highly recommend this location. The location is quiet and well stocked. My only grievance is that the there are some missing blinds in the living room, but that's minor at best.
The community of condo's was lovely with private access to the beach. Our unit was a bit dated in terms of decor and the beds were not comfortable but the location was ideal and we enjoyed our time there.
Steps from an amazing stretch of coastline, sunrises sunsets. Unit accommodated our family of four adults comfortably. Gas fireplace in living area provided a cozy space for cool evening and early morning gatherings. Would return.
This condo was immaculately clean, even the windows! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. Everything was just as listed on VRBO.
We had some problems initially entering the condo with the new door code and lock, but someone promptly helped us resolve the problem.
It was a very nice, well appointed condo with easy beach access. There was a caution about using the oven without a fan but we couldn't locate a fan and were hesitant to turn on the oven as a result. Otherwise we had a pleasant stay.
Had a very nice 3 night stay. Condo was clean and comfortable. WiFi was spotty and cable was down. Owner was very kind and tried to get them fixed. We had to leave before that happened. Beach is great there and it’s close to Monterey and Carmel and Santa Cruz.
