Beautifully bright and sunny with great views of the ocean. Kitchen minimally stocked. Unit does show wear and tear. Hall toilet needs to be replaced and gave us issues. Need better black out curtains in guest bedroom to block out outside lights. But master bedroom was fantastic. Loved reading nook in corner.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and for staying with us. We’re so glad you enjoyed the bright sunny space, ocean views, cozy reading nook, and especially the master bedroom. 😊
We also truly appreciate the constructive notes regarding the kitchen inventory, hall bathroom toilet, and guest bedroom curtains. We’ll absolutely share these items with the owner as we continue working to improve the guest experience and keep the home comfortable and well maintained.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
The condo stay was excellent. You can’t beat the view and easy access to the beach. Accommodations were adequate for the pricing and small family with a child. Would stay here again.
Steps to the beach was our favorite! Perfect weekend to celebrate my daughter turning 17! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!

I’ve been coming to Pajaro for appx 30 years: prior to this thru Pajaro Dunes- not VRBO. Almost always we’ve had very nice places/ experiences- only a couple exceptions when booking late during high seasons. I’ll start with the good: every bed was comfortable! Also had decent sound proofing - we weren’t loud but no one had a problem falling asleep due to others. Place definitely needs some sprucing. White covers for the couches not a good choice. Some things are worn/unattended to an ugh level. Every slider fell off when attempting to open close because of the rust/sand in the runners. Gets irritating Some cleaning and nice clean drawer mats in the kitchen cupboards would have gone a long way. Main problem for me was the Customer Service from the VRBO personnel on site and the fact that we loaded up two carts of heavy stuff, pushed them upstairs and couldn’t access the room because there were problems with the code. Someone was sent out quickly twice and sorted the front door, but that night as three women alone on the first evening, we found that the back slider lock was broken, and the solution given to us was to put a mop in the door. They knew the lock was broken because they commented via text that the lock had been ordered but hadn’t arrived. We weren’t informed That’s not acceptable when your woman alone in a place and you expect security.Also no beach chairs or towels come w the unit?! Never had that experience b4

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for returning to Pajaro Dunes for so many years. We’re glad to hear that the beds were comfortable, the condo was quiet, and that our team responded quickly when you experienced difficulty accessing the property.
We are especially sorry for the concern caused by the broken slider lock. While a replacement had already been ordered, we should have communicated that with you before your arrival and provided a better temporary solution. We completely understand why security would be particularly important to three women staying together, and we apologize that this left you feeling uncomfortable.
We also appreciate your comments regarding the sliders, kitchen cupboards, furnishings, and overall condition of the condo. We’ll be reviewing these items with the homeowner and our housekeeping and maintenance teams, as feedback from longtime Pajaro Dunes guests is especially helpful in identifying where improvements are needed.
The owner does provide beach towels with this property, so we apologize that they were not available or easily located during your stay. Beach chairs are not a standard amenity, but we appreciate your feedback regarding those as well.
Thank you again for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We’re sorry this visit did not live up to the many positive stays you’ve enjoyed at Pajaro Dunes over the years.
Loved the beach view and the large windows facing the beach in the master bedroom.Plenty of kitchen supplies. Had to buy some filters for the coffee pot was the only glitch.Hope to stay in same place next year. The beds were very comfortable.
I would highly recommend this spot!!! My family and I had were impressed with the views, short walk to the beach and the cleanliness. I’m looking forward to another trip back here
Lovely surroundings, wonderful to have the windows open and hear the ocean, easy hike from one end to the other of the entire complex where our other family stayed.
Location of condo is amazing! Easy access to the beach.
Disappointed that there wasn’t a bbq and a little battle with ants.
All in all a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Would stay again
Wonderful view. Quiet. Loved that there were king and queen beds thats why I chose this condo. The interior designs felt like you were still down at the beach. We would rent again.
I live 45 min away and I’ve visited this beautiful beach a bunch of times and every time I told myself “I wanna stay here”. So for my 55th bday decided to have a girls weekend. Pelican 12 was the perfect place. Gorgeous views from the living room and master bedroom. Super comfortable beds, lots of linens, and our favorite… a keurig! We were steps away from the huge empty beach where we found many sea shells. We didn’t want to leave. We are already trying to decide when to come back.
Great location near the ocean, but the unit needs updating. The room with a single queen bed was uncomfortable & unusable. However, they provided multiple coffee makers and plenty of dishes. If the bed was replace I would consider renting again.
Accommodations were very nice. Lack of storage space in two of the three bedrooms was definitely a miss. Microwave was a low quality tool and it took twice as long to just warm something up. Wish we knew they would provide a pack n’ play, it would have saved us from bringing one with us. Really glad we brought all our necessary food with us, didn’t realize how far away from a grocery store we were. Overall we had a lovely visit due to proximity to the beach.
