We had such a great stay here! The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was perfect for a quiet beach getaway. Communication with the host was smooth and everything was very easy. We stayed for my 30th birthday weekend and it ended up being the perfect relaxing spot. Would absolutely stay again!

Perfect beach getaway location!

We loved our time at Pajaro Dunes! The beach was clean, and so quiet compared to the public beaches nearby - we had the whole beach to ourselves most days! The home was cozy, comfortable, and we loved eating in the little deck at night where we could hear the waves:)

Wonderful Getaway

We really enjoyed our first visit to Pajaro Dunes and loved Annette's property at the Shorebirds. The property was clean, the proximity to the ocean was excellent, and the kids loved the murphy bed (smurfy bed). The master bedroom bed was a bit small and not as comfortable as we would have liked, but overall it was a fantastic experience.

Slice of heaven

We are so sad to be driving home. We had a magical stay at this beautiful property… while it is set up for adults and incredibly romantic, it is also in the most convenient spot for bringing the kids to be able to easily get to and from the beach. It was clean and perfectly stocked. The resort is quiet and friendly allowing for a tranquil place to unplug and unwind. We were able to spend some time connecting as a family and we are so very grateful!

Can't Get Closer to Beach

Literally steps out the door and you're at the water. Can't beat the location. The unit itself felt a little small, especially with the murphy bed down, but usable and worth it for the location. Great patio. Beds aren't the most comfortable but they aren't horrible; could use some updating. We were so impressed by the cleanliness when we arrived, especially after experiencing how much sand blows around and sticks to feet.:) Check in and out was easy, key pad access. Overall, a wonderful stay.

A breathtaking experience worth sharing

A good impression always starts with great communication. From the beginning the communication was excellent and from there, everything else followed. The location is amazing and the place is great! One of the things one wants to experience when vacationing, is the obvious - vacating. As soon as we got there, time was no longer a factor and we felt welcomed right away. The cleanliness and relaxing setting was amazing and to complement the awesomeness, the convenience of having the beach as your backyard. After hours of being at the beach, walking, resting, playing with the kids, and being in the water - one can get exhausted. So the walks back to the home were nothing but an added plus. I wish we could have stayed longer. We had the opportunity to play some basketball and walk around the complex, which is full of vibrantly green plants - which made the experience more enjoyable. Looking forward to doing this again some time soon!
