Such a relaxing place to stay! The home was thoughtfully organized and very well stocked with all the basic kitchen needs, which made everything easy. Perfect spot for a chill, peaceful beach getaway.
Our beach view was stunning and we spent time everyday watching the waves, enjoying the dolphins and birds and taking in the beautiful sunsets! The condo is lovely; so clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We had a wonderful stay and can't wait to return!
Excellent place to stay and wonderful view. So much to do at the facility Great instructional letter sent by the host that explains everything we needed.
This is our 2nd stay in this charming condo. It is perfection; beautifully furnished with everything you need plus some. The view is breathtaking, each morning we watched the whales and dolphins swim by. Being soothed to sleep by the ocean waves every night was so relaxing.Thank you Laura for sharing your treasure by the sea, we will be back soon!
Excellent view from second floor, no stairs from parking lot to unit which is a plus for us. I like the second bedroom bed arrangement, perfect for our daughter and granddaughter.. Very well equipped unit, including table linens. New sofa and chairs in living room, which are very attractive and comfortable. Left my instant read thermometer on accident, but others can enjoy and I'll buy a new one. First time staying for Thanksgiving and have reservation for next year already and one before that in July to get out of the Valley summer heat.

Thank you for

Thank you for the thermometer and the guy oof review

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home is thoughtfully furnished (especially the kitchen) and very comfortable. We loved sitting and watching the waves and birds on the beach for a relaxing three days.
We have come to Pajaro regularly for the past several years and this was one of the best units we have stayed in! The updates were fantastic and the location was so convenient - with a wonderful view! Highly recommend and would go back.
We felt so lucky to stay at such a beautiful property right on the beach! The place was very well-appointed, and the location was fantastic! Wish we could have stayed longer! Would love to visit again. The master bed was a little too soft for me, but otherwise, not a single complaint from the whole group. We’re so happy we stayed here.
Wonderful property! Very well appointed kitchen with all your cooking needs. Comfortable. Easy access to the courts. The views are amazing. Great place to gather with family and relax.

This is a family owned condo. We are three siblings (twins and our brother) that have shared ownership since 1990. It was bought by our parents and passed down to us. We are happy to share our Pajaro Dunes home with you!
Why they chose this property
Pajaro Dunes Resort is a hidden gem. It is a beautiful spot to enjoy the California coast without all the crowds. You can also get to Santa Cruz or Monterey area very quickly. We like to say it is CENTRALLY ISOLATED!
What makes this property unique
We love the way you can sit and look out the picture window and see the Monterey Bay! Take the stairs to the beach and Walk a few steps and you are on the sand... Sleep to the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach. We just upgraded with new flooring, doors and bathrooms and the kitchen will be done by May 2023!
