"This lovely beach condo was perfect for our stay at Pajaro Dunes. We were six adults, and there was plenty of room for us. The condo is decorated really cute with a beach theme throughout. It was very clean and neat. I loved the little coffee station with complimentary Keurig pods which our coffee drinkers appreciated. We had a great stay!"

Beachfront Condo with Amazing Views, Comfort, and Fun for Everyone

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved staying here. The view as soon as you open the door is stunning. The owners were very thoughtful about how they've curated the stocked kitchen, towels, etc. It's nice to rentfrom an owner vs a corporation that doesn't have person touches. I enjoyed every evening falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean while snuggled up in the comfy bed. I left the sliding glass door cracked ever night and it was glorious. We also appreciated having a washer and dryer available. Bring some laundry soap, we had soap sheets with us and that made it easy to pack. You'll also want to bring your own body soaps, shampoo conditioner and lotion. There was one thing for shampoo but I always prefer my own anyway. The beach is a short walk out the back of the building and we spent lots of time picking up shells. Even had a seal swim by us one morning. Beautiful property, I need to win the lottery and get a place there! :)"

10/10 Excellent
"This is a very clean spacious property with great ocean views. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything we needed. The only suggestion I would give is to allow guests to park in the garage due to parking limitations. We were okay since we both have small cars and were able to fit both in the driveway. It’s definitely an issue for bigger cars."
