Our stay last week was fantastic! The condo was exactly as advertised—clean and equipped with first-class amenities that made for a comfortable stay. The 2nd floor views were the best and the hosts were welcoming and responsive, making the whole process seamless. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a perfect Pajaro Dunes getaway. Can't wait to go back!

This was our second stay at this property. We loved it as much as the first time. The ocean view makes it easy to simply sit and look out the window all day. Or do the same a few steps away on the beach. For anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing place, this is the spot.

Such a beautiful place to just sit and relax, watch the waves through the BIG picture window or open the sliders in the living room and bedroom and left the sound of the surf put you to sleep. Immaculately clean, has everything you need! The shower was fantastic and the sleep number bed lets everyone feel comfortable. Just what my wife and I needed for a three day weekend get away.
