Our family enjoy our time together here and had a great time we loved it . Amazing views only thing I’d recommend is a fan got a little warm inside master bedroom for us and usually all the homes we rented here before all had fans in case we needed them . But gorgeous home and we really enjoy our time here thank you for having us .

We had a great stay at the Pajaro condo. The unit is recently renovated and very clean. They have tons of games, beach toys, movies, books to entertain! We noticed that we forgot to bring olive oil or butter but the front desk had some for purchase. It seemed like whatever was not available (sponges, butter etc), the front desk had. The master has a beautiful view of the ocean and the unit had a great common area space to enjoy our time together as a family.

We had a great stay at the Pajaro Dunes. It was everything we hoped it would be. The staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. The condo was clean. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We definitely enjoyed our time there. One of the rooms didn’t heat well, but we were better prepared with blankets for the following nights.

Pajaro Dunes is a well run resort so any stay in the resort has a lot of back up support, even if chosen through VRBO. The amenities were in fine condition. There was a bit of a problem that got resolved with care.

Great location, had everything we needed. Took some playing around to figure out the TV - but it was a different system than what we are used to. Check in and out was amazingly easy. I had no reason to contact the office or the owner during our stay.

Ocean Vacation

This was perfect for our family. We loved the accommodations and the beach was amazing! Beach comb, fish, walk, relax, build sand castles and play a little in the water. You can also have a fire in one of the firpits on the beach and enjoy some s'mores together. We had a great time making priceless memories.

Family Weekend

This was a great midway spot between Monterey and Santa Cruz. We spent the weekend with our grown kids and loved the space. Our only complaint (take with a grain of sand) was the paper-thin walls and ceilings. This is to be expected in a building as old as this but it wasn't terrible and all the units around us were quiet by 9. The location and accessibility to the beach access was perfect! We are already discussing our next trip!
