Ok as home base but any activity (including restaurants) requires a long drive. Very remote. Highway 1 was a nightmare whenever we tried to go somewhere.

Pajaro Dunes celebration

The unit is in a great location, good view of the ocean ! Easy walk out to beach as long as you can handle a flight of stairs. Nice beach, not crowded. We enjoyed the location a lot. The beds and furniture are dated/older, pillows are not comfortable at all. The property needs some updating and kitchen utensils need to be replaced/ upgraded.

Relaxing

Pajaro Dunes has always been a special spot for us and once again it delivered. We had our grandchildren for two night and made wonderful memories shell hunting, fishing and just enjoying our time together. There is never a need to go to town. This unit is very nice and clean, the only down side is the living room furniture is basically outdoor furniture and not very comfortable. Kitchen needs lg bowls

Back at the Dunes!

My mom had a condo at Pajaro for decades. We all-loved it so and enjoyed its unique vibe❤️. Have returned many times and always had a great relaxing get away. Thank you ! The condo was well outfitted and had everything we needed 😍. Yesterday we attended a lovely live music concert on the Pelican side. Fabulous!

Beach stay

Pros: the location! Can’t get any closer to the beach. The beds were comfy. The kitchen was small but worked great for us. The cons: the sofa wasn’t very comfy. The master shower didn’t drain properly. We had wild weather….thunder, lightning and a tornado warning. Loved getting away with my husband and without the teens!

Peaceful

Loved the view of the ocean as you walked in the door! Gray cloudy skies, but we were still able to take peaceful walks along the beach each day. Beautiful setting for my daughter and I to research our family history. When we came upon a roadblock in our research, we would stop and enjoy the view of the ocean or go take a walk together. Special memories made.

Shorebird 55

Thank you for a lovely stay at shorebird 55, the condo was perfect for our needs. The location is quiet and the beach is very nice, if your looking for a chill location. The Parjaro Dunes are so beautiful. The condo is set up with everything you might need for cooking & relaxing on the beach. I recommend buying food before. No shopping is available directly in the area. About a 20 minute drive to any shopping or restaurants.

Return visit to Pajaro Dunes

I have now stayed at Pajaro Dunes 3 times. As usual love the beach and the spaciousness of the unit for a 4 night stay. The only things this time is the property lighting around our Building (Bldg B) was inadequate, including the lighting of the sign for all building. Secondly using the path from the staircase to the edge of the dunes had 2 covered sand-covered steps, that could not be seen but caused one of us to twist their ankle.(maybe a warning sign could have alerted us.) Also, WiFi for the multiple blgs was out for 3 days. This made any services (Amazon Prime TV, Pandora, etc unusable. and this outage was not caused storms.

Weekend get away

Our stay was nice. The place is lovely and spacious for the two of us. It has everything we needed as far as bathrooms stocked, bedroom & kitchen furnished. Livingroom had books to read and TV to watch. Although the place looks outdated and need some TLC it is still very quiet, peacdful and enjoyable. I loved hearing the ocean waves and looking out the window. However, i could not get comfortable on the couch, it definitely needs to be replaced, those cushions are not comfy at all. And i was very disappointed that the fireplace was not operational. That was the second thing i was looking forward to relaxing there with a fire lit watching the waves as the rain was coming down.

Shorebirds 55

I am being brutally honest But the ambiance is just not there. The electric heaters are rusted; the outdoor furniture doesn’t make it as a sofa and chair (uncomfortable); needs paint; and overall very outdated (bathrooms especially). Comforters are very ugly!!!! For a place as nice as Pajaro Dunes - this was a disappointment!

Peaceful oceanfront stay

Spectacular ocean and dunes view, 2nd level unit with ramp access, enormous bedrooms, comfortable beds, pillows, linens. Clean with nice furnishings and extra touches like the jar of coffee beans. Plenty of hot water, electric heat, fireplace. Peaceful condo complex.

Needs some TLC

The beach is outstanding and that's what counts. The unit needs to be cleaned..especially carpets. It needs paint throughout. The fireplace door fell off. Newer towels and sheets would be nice. TV in bedroom was not CC. We have stayed in 4 or 5 units over the years and this one was subpar.

PLEASE, Do Not Stay Here

I’ll keep this brief: stains on the bed sheets, huge stains on the carpet throughout, 2 huge stains in the couch, rusted out baseboard heaters in every room, only 2 lamps in the living room and one didn’t work, cracked linoleum bathroom vanity, dark stains on the toilet lid, large chip on the fireplace hearth tile, cracks on the bathroom tile, old, tattered hand towels, beaten up and crudely patched door frames, trashed laundry doors, and more. That is the brief list. We had booked for 3 nights but had to leave after one due to the conditions above. Completely ruined a family vacation.

Great location but would not stay here again

The beach here is beautiful and that is where we spent most of our time. The location was perfect, the deck had a beautiful view, and everything we needed was there, including cooking utensils (although there was no pantry or place to store food so everything stayed in grocery bags on the floor). The apartment itself was in pretty bad shape and I would not choose to stay there again. So, being in the apartment was not an ideal experience, but we wanted the beach and that was what mattered.
