Excellent facility. Very much appreciated how clean well stocked (e.g., laundry detergent) and user friendly the facility was. Appreciated the children's toys the owner had made available for my grandchildren staying with us. My only, very minor, complaint was the bathroom design with no door in the master bedroom. Aside from that, everything was outstanding and we very much enjoyed our stay,

Our family really enjoyed our stay. The home was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The beach was literally steps away. The home was very clean and it actually felt like home. We definitely recommend.

Perfect for Our Family

We have been staying at Pajaro going on 35 years and this condo has got to be in our Top 5 of all the places we have stayed. So many comfortable amenities - the beds, the couch. Kids loved the huge TV and we so enjoyed our time at the beach, as always. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!

Friends and family weekend

We had a lovely weekend stay. My teen girls and their friends loved the access to the beach and pickle ball paddles and courts! I loved the miles and miles of beach access for long walks. Sunset was gorgeous both nights we were there. The place is super cute and host very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Another great stay at Pajaro Dunes

We have stayed at Whitneys place a couple times now. It is always very clean, well appointed and has a great layout and comfortable furniture. It is an easy short walk to the beach. Wi-fi is strong also. We have stayed at Pajaro many, many times but we love this spot. The owners are always receptive and are genuinely nice people. Thanks again guys.

Relief from the heat

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. It had everything we needed and more. We loved playing games and doing puzzles together. The kids enjoyed all the books, especially learning about Humphrey, the Humpback Whale. Beach days were wonderful and the trip to Santa Cruz Boardwalk was the high light! I'm already looking at dates for next year. Again, thank you...Susan

Amazing stay

This property is so great! The location couldn’t be better- you just walk right out to the beach. The actual condo is so nice inside. The decor is perfect beach theme and is so tranquil and relaxing. The beds are comfortable and you can tell the owners take so much pride in their home away from home, because that’s truly what it is- their home. Everything inside is nice and everything you could need or want is there. You can tell the difference between other vacation rentals with cheap finishes and cheap scratched pots and pans and hard lumpy beds and this rental, which has nice finishes and nice pots and pans, comfortable beds, soft towels and everything you would want. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing oasis with us!
