Loved our stay at pajaro dunes. Needed a place to stay to springboard over to Monterey bay aquarium and found this gem. Very much enjoyed staying here over staying in Monterey. Much less touristy and the private beach was wonderful

So glad you found us! Pajaro Dunes Resort is a perfect place to explore the nearby sites, especially the Aquarium and not be in the middle of all the action. Glad you all enjoyed our quiet shores in our gated community. Hope to welcome you back again soon.
This unit is wonderful! Clean and upgraded, nice wood floors, comfy beds and really great ambiance! Steps from the beach. We loved our stay here!

The place was very clean, very spacious and comfortable for a big family. It was amazing to be able to walk out into the beach each morning. We loved being able to hear the ocean from our rooms. Overall, we would stay here again.

We are super happy that you enjoyed your stay!
One of our favorite things is being able to hear the ocean waves so we are happy that you were able to experience this as well. We hope to have you stay with us again!
Kind Regards,

This home was very clean and cozy, the kitchen had everything you needed to make a great meal. We enjoyed the very short distance to the beautiful beach. We were very pleased with this place and sad to leave. We will definitely come back. Best place to spend my birthday. Than you.

Thank you for the lovely review! We're so happy to hear the home made your birthday getaway special—clean, cozy, and close to the beach is hard to beat! We’re glad you felt at home and had everything you needed. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay soon!
The property was amazing! It suited our family of 5 and my in laws very well. It was close to the beach and the patio was relaxing with the sound of the waves. Very clean, kid friendly and spacious. Easy to prepare meals for the family in their fully stocked kitchen and the laundry machines came in handy after a day at the beach. Beds were also super comfy. Overall positive experience and would definitely book again!

Excellent home. Perfect location on first floor for families with younger children. If had one recommendation for owners of this unit is to
Upgrade living room TV to a smart TV. Gives families staying here more options on what to watch.

Don't count on the wifi unless they get it fixed, my daughter needed to do work and had to go to the main office.

We are glad to hear you had a great family vacation with us! I'm sorry the WIFI didn't work for you. The HOA has specials parameters on how to connect to the WIFI. For the future, please don't hesitate to call our front office for help. We have a wonderful maintenance team on hand that would've loved to help! We hope to welcome you back soon!
Kindly,

This place had everything we wanted but it was a little further away than we anticipated. There is nothing around it in terms of commerce, so you have to drive at least 15-20min to get to any kind of grocery store, coffee shops, restaurants, etc. as long as you realize that, the place is nice

Hi there George,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are happy to hear that Shorebirds 251 was well equipped for your stay. Pajaro is a very remote area and rural area about 10 -15 minutes away from the main city, so very quite as well. We do hope you keep us in mind for your next trip in the area!
Warmly,
Pajaro Dunes Resort
