This property is amazing and I highly recommend it. The view is spectacular from the moment you walk in the door. We would leave the sliding doors open so we could hear the surf as much as possible. Very soothing and relaxing.We slept great. I also took some refreshing naps.Hosts were very helpful regarding any questions we had.We will definitely be back.

This is the perfect space for a romantic getaway. They had everything that you could need to have a comfortable stay, and the view is unbeatable. I’ve been to Pajaro Dunes many times before, but this has by far been the best stay Ive had!

My stay was absolutely excellent. Edel was communicative and answered any questions I had. The property is well decorated with an extremely comfortable bed. The views are serene and wonderful to watch the ocean. You are steps away from the ocean, so walks on the beach are great. I'd come back to this property again.

tv stopped working. few instructions left in the unit.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 December 2025
We left an extensive list of instruction through VRBO for the guest to read. There were not instructions left on the unit because it was unnecessary. The reason the TV stopped working was because when the tv was moved forward by the guest, the power cable went loose and the internet stoped working. It was an easy fix by checking the back of the TV and plugged it back in. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.

The place was absolutely amazing! It had everything in the kitchen for meals, no need to bring blankets, pillows, beach chairs. Everything was provided. I went down with my granddaughter. We go down to that area every year, and we will definitely will be back at this place. Beach access was down the stairs and a couple steps to the right. She went down to the beach, and I stayed on the balcony and watched the ocean. Any questions we had on the property were immediately answered.

We were disappointed in several easily fixed conditions that we found. The bathroom sink drained poorly throughout our stay. This could have been identified and corrected before checkin by a pre-rent inspection process by the owner/manager. The bedroom needs bedside tables and lighting to allow reading in bed. There is only one light in the room and it was in the corner of the room. Plug access adjacent to the bed is inadequate. Extension cords from the inaccessible outlet behind the bed would have been helpful. There are no drawers to put clothes in. The kitchen has only two coffee mugs and only the original Nespresso unit. There is no way to make a normal cup of coffee. There are no standard sized water glasses or cocktail glasses available. Working the tv was a bit of a challenge. The owner was accessible by phone and pleasant and provided some nice touches like a bowl of fresh fruit and a welcome bottle of champagne. We would have appreciated a book containing restaurant recommendations, tv instructions, checkout instructions. The owner provided an email re checkin that I was unable to locate via a vrbo search of my personal email and there was no record of my name at the guardhouse. I had to access vrbo help center to locate owner contact information, call the owner and get instructions. The checkin process did not go smoothly for us. The rental unit has a great view of the beach.

We had a wonderful stay at Pajaro Dunes. Our accommodations were very clean, well appointed, and had a wonderful feel to it. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and a spectacular view from living room and balcony. A few quick steps and we were on the beach, enjoying the chairs and towels the host provided for us. the location was perfect for us to split visits to Carmel and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and a trip to Santa Cruz and Wilder Ranch for some hiking and wildlife viewing. We have been come to the Pajaro Dunes area for years and this was by far our best experience. Thank you Edel!
