Great location!

A hand full of steps away from the beach and a very safe place to stay. There is a duck pond, pickleball courts, and a small bike path. The location is great- less than an hour from Santa Cruz, Monterey Aquarium, redwood forest, etc.. Great places to eat not too far away. It’s always a great stay.😊

Great little place

Great little place. We love Pajaro Dunes and the location to the beach with young kids. Place was clean and pretty well stocked. Our only complaint was the bed and bedding in the Master… the pillows were so flat and uncomfortable and there was only one per person, bed was too hard for our liking. Our kids loved the bunks and beds in the other room though, we did lay on that queen and it was pretty comfy! Would visit again. Thanks

Very Cute!

Very cute place and well maintained! The only downside is there is not private WIFI, and the public one is a pain to use as it kicks you off randomly and you have to rejoin, so it made getting work done difficult. But, if you don’t need WiFi, it is a perfect place to stay!

Nice place to stay!

Great place to stay at. Used it mainly for sleeping and cooking breakfast before going and exploring the the area different attractions. We were so close to the water you could hear the waves and beach access was just a short walk away. Would definitely stay here again.
