Nice condo

Nice condo, but the primary shower didn’t drain, and at least two outlets didn’t work. But the very frustrating issue was the WiFi. You had to go outside for any Internet connection. The host was responsive and the kitchen is very well stocked.

Amazing Beach Get Away

The kids wanted a beach vacation! and they loved it! We were able to go to the Monterey aquarium and The Old Fisherman Wharf for an early dinner and then the next day spend the entire day at the beach.With it being so close the kids could use the restroom whenever, we took a lunch break. My kids had an absolute blast playing in the sand and ocean. My husband, mom and I had fun relaxing and watching them have the time of their life. My favorite part is the beach is not over crowded because it’s a private beach. When it was time to go the kids did not want to leave. The condo was clean, the beds were comfortable it definitely was a 10/10! My kids are asking to come back next year!***On a side note my mom is older and she was very surprised and loved how close the beach was she did not have to walk very far!

Nice stay

Property is great! Private, secure and close to the beach. However, there are no longer fire pits on the beach. Easily accessible. The road to the property is very rough. Definitely felt like a "home." All purpose cleaner available would have been nice.

You are right by the beach and it's truely less than a 5 minute stroll from the door to having your feet in the ocean.This location is also close enough to Santa Cruz to the north and Monterey to the south for an easy day trip.I would stay here again any time.

Girls weekend

Enjoyed our stay at Pajaro Dunes. Comfortable and nicely equipped kitchen. Cozy beds. Host was very responsive when we had a breaker shut off. Outdoor shower outside our unit was not working which was a little difficult to come back from beach but this was not owner’s fault. Would have been helpful to have a broom and dustpan in unit to manage sand. I would recommend this unit for 2 couples or small family.
