It was a good sized condo for a family of 4. Our sons enjoyed having large beds in the second room for them. Walking right out your door into the dunes was great. So easy to come and go to the water throughout the day.

Great location for a family getaway

This condo and the Pajaro Dunes resort are great. 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.

Stayed with our 2 adult sons and my aging parents. Kitchen was perfect for cooking and prepping Thanksgiving sides for our Friendsgiving celebration in Watsonville. Access to the beach was perfect. Plenty of parking. Other occupants super friendly. Condo was clean. Beds were a little soft. Master bedroom was amazing. Second bedroom a bit crowded and the bathroom off second bedroom a bit small but my adult sons are big men. It’s all good. Would go back in a heartbeat. 4 people is ideal. I’d go back with our 6 in a second. Pajaro dunes are perfect if you want to escape the crowded beaches of Aptos, Santa Cruz, Monterey etc. beautiful walking paths Loved it!!
