Perfect location

The property is just like the photographs, no surprises. It's perfect size for a couple and so close to the beach. Our only complaints were the shower. It didn't drain well and would back up. The shower head is kind of low too if you are tall. Our other frustration was not knowing how to work the television. We couldn't figure out how to use the remotes. We dont normally watch much tv, so other visitors probably wouldn't have an issue. Maybe directions would be good to have, but it was probably just us. Can't complain too much as we were really just interested in being near the water. Perfect location to be near the water.

Great Location and view of ocean.

We loved the ocean view from living room, bedroom. and porch. It is a perfect size for a couple. The Unit had everything we needed, especially the kitchen. The unit could use upgrades but nothing that would keep us from staying there again. The beach is perfect for long walks.

I've stayed at many places in Pajaro, and this cozy condo is amazing, and the closest and easiest access to the beach. I would highly recommend this property for a fun getaway.

Best stay ever!!

Me and my wife absolutely loved staying here. Its right in front of beach with personal access and the serenity of the ocean and quiet atmosphere in the property is just amazing. Everything was perfect starting from location, view from rooms, cleanliness. I wish I could give more than 5 stars to this property but I will definitely come here again.

Absolutely Perfect!

Everything about this property was exactly what we were looking for in a beach location! Great views of the beach and ocean from the deck or inside with easy access right outside our door. The condo was clean and stocked with everything needed to make for a very comfortable stay.

Coastal Comfort

Perfect place for a couples getaway. Right on the beach with quick access. Beautiful sunsets! Fully stocked with necessities for an enjoyable time. Easy travel North to Santa Cruz or South to Monterey. Close to local farmland and fresh picked produce, and close to local stores for shopping. Highly recommend.

A much needed respite by the sea

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it fell quietly enough to hear the pounding surf less than 100 feet outside our condo. What a Glorious night. Both the living room and the bedroom face the sea and you can sit quietly and watch the surf and the people move along the beach. Monterey to the South and Santa Cruz to the North with the resident pod of killer whales in the middle. Awesome view! Worthy of a short stay or more, if it's in your schedule. We've stayed at 3 other condos at Pajaro and this is one of the best!

Wonderful!

We are repeat visitors because this property is just great! First time to this particular unit, second time with this Host. It’s got a fabulous view of the beach, being right up front. The unit has all the basics from home to make your stay comfortable. The host communicates well. We happened to be there during a local emergency time and the host communicated road conditions to us which was much appreciated.! The only thing that could have made our stay better was more favorable weather. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Just what the doctor ordered

An antidote to civilization! I hate to give too good a review because I want to come back... and I don't want it to be booked! Seriously, perfect spot. Zen in every way plus fun games, binoculars, Netflicks. But the queen of everything is the perfect views 24/7.

Beyond Expectations--Fantastic!

We had such a delightful stay! The view was beyond special--we had planned to eat out at restaurants, but the water was so mesmerizing that we just stayed home to enjoy the view. The vrbo fees seemed exorbitant, but aside from that we could not have asked for anything more. The condo was very well-equipped, comfortable, well-decorated--amazing in every way.

Had a great relaxing time.

The condo was extremely comfortable and very very clean and sparkly. I enjoyed watching the sunset from the balcony facing the ocean. Weather was perfect. The owners were very communicative through email and text to make sure I had all the information. It was driving distance from places to eat, gas stations and even Starbucks.. thank you .. I plan on returning soon. Mary

Has a great time! The condo has a great view of the ocean and the equipped kitchen was really convenient. Only one small negative- the tv’s have a voice command that was such an annoying hassle to deal with, especially for my kids.

Beautiful views!

The views are great from this property. The unit is clean and has the basics at hand. It is the perfect size for 1 or 2 people. My only suggestion is to get a new mattress or at least a topper. It was SUPER firm. We'd definitely come back, but we'd bring a mattress topper with us so we could enjoy our sleep. Everything else was great.

Filthy and not maintained

This was the worst condo I have stayed in and I stay here a lot! The chair arms were so filthy that I had to put towels over them to sit on it. There is no table on the balcony. The screen was off the sliding door when I got there. I called the office and they said the maintenance guy would be there by the next day. So, I couldn't sleep with the slider open?! I complained. He came while I was walking on the beach, when I called at 4:45 to say there was NO Screen door now, they said "They close in 15 minute, so I probably won't get until the morning." I paid a lot of $$$ to enjoy the sound of the ocean and now I cant? There was no soap in the bathroom, only 2 pods for laundry and when I called the next day to say how the washer would not turn on, the office told me they were busy with maintenance and didn't know when anyone could be there. They never came. I fixed it myself. I sent this all in an email to the office and all they had to say was, "sorry you weren't happy." That was it!!! I'll never rent this one again!!!

You can't beat Pajaro!!

We have been staying at Pajaro Dunes for 40+ years and always at Shorebirds . The views are spectacular from the one bedroom units. This unit was spartan. Much nicer units available. Only one washcloth, toaster broken, old blender...just small things like that but when you're paying this kind of price you want something that works. We won't rent this unit again. We rented for 5 nights...it was our anniversary ...plane Jane.

Mini getaway

Perfect for a couple’s getaway, parent/child Mini break, or some alone time. The sheets and some sofa cushions weren’t super clean and there was a weird smell in the kitchen from whoever was there before us, but the beach was great!
