We had a wonderful time at Pajaro Dunes. The condo was perfect for our family trip. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the amenities. The coffee nook was thoroughly enjoyed. Our granddaughter loved the children's room with the "stuffies" and ocean themed books. Whitney was a wonderful host. She responded right away to our questions and made sure we had everything we needed. We are definitely planning to stay here again on our next visit to the coast.

Great location,lovely home. Our multi generational family had a wonderful time. Beach chairs, kites, everything you need to enjoy your stay at the beach is there. Check in was easy. The Primary shower is tricky to get to the right temperature, the host warned us of this as we prepared to check in, a minor thing. Ultimately, we would stay here again. Thank you!

Place was nice but dishwasher not working and shower in master bath not working well. Wish I had known this before I rented the place and should’ve been given a credit for these issues. Not happy with all the extra charges VRBO adds on to the rental price.
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 27 August 2026
We apologize for the inconvenience. Once the dishwasher was reported to have issues we put in a service request to have it looked at and found that it was opened mid-cycle and only needed to be reset. The shower pipes are 50 years old and can be a bit sticky. We will be remodeling that bathroom this winter. As for the extra charges VRBO adds on, we have no control over that. One of the charges is a 14% hotel tax by the county.

Exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated. The perfect setting ......pond in one direction and sea grasses and the beach in the other direction. Pajarro Dunes is a one of a kind complex on the coast and is very close to Santa Cruz beach and Boardwalk. Also very close Monterey Aquarium and Pacific Grove.... as well as Carmel and Point Lobos.It was hard to visit everything that was close. I just wanted to relax and enjoy the comfy unit and fireplace. If we forgot anything, there was a market and Target within a few minutes. Lovely place. Lovely stay!
