About this property

Pajaro Dunes Resort Cozy 2 Bedroom - Steps to the Beach Easy Access No Stairs

Very comfortable 2 bedroom Shorebird condominium. First level - no ramps or stairs to climb! Perfect location for a relaxed beach getaway, yet close enough to enjoy both Santa Cruz and Monterey. This condo faces Monterey which lets you experience spectacular sunrises. Pajaro Dunes is a vacation destination that you will want to come back to time after time.

We are right on the beach! Just a quick walk out to the beach and enjoy! Cal King, Queen & Twin, and Sofa Sleeper in the living room. Comfortably accommodates up to 7 guests - great for 2 couples or families.

Our home is tastefully decorated, clean and has everything you need. Fully furnished home, kitchen amenities, washer & dryer, internet access and much more.

Spend family fun playing Pickle Ball, tennis or basketball with courts located on site. Stop by our lobby where we offer an assortment of loaner sports equipment for our renters including pickle ball sets!

We are in a gated community close to shopping, golf, fine dining and surf. Step out your patio door and listen to the ocean waves crashing onto the shore. Admire the beauty of the sand dunes and enjoy miles of untouched shoreline. Collect sand dollars on the beach and watch the wildlife right outside your window. Please be advised the fireplace in this home cannot be used until further notice.

Needed multiple maintenance areas.

First of all this is not a location posted by the home owners this is ran through Pajaro Dunes resort. the walls had locations where someone had punched a few holes in it and instead of patching it and trying to color match it to the tan walls they left 3 white squares on the wall. The plug covers were falling off on some of them. The fireplace is condemned and thermostats either made the condo supper hot or didn't seem to be turning on. The pictures make the place look much bigger then what it was.

Property was fine, but I would not return

I'm not intending to say anything disparaging about this property. It was as advertised. I found it to be clean and mostly up to par. It is a 52-year-old property. There are things that should have been maintained. For example, the towel bar in the second bathroom fell off. The sink in the second bathroom is stopped up, and the water drains extremely slow. The lighting in both bedrooms is horrific. I pulled out an extra blanket from the closet and it had a gross stain on it. Overall, it was a decent condo. I didn't like the location relative to activities. For example, you have to drive at least 15 minutes to reach any groceries or restaurants. The outside lighting was downright dangerous. If you were to arrive after sunset, I imagine you would have a heckuva time finding your condo. In fact, when I went out to pick up dinner and came back, I nearly stumbled on the sidewalk because there is extremely poor lighting. Poor lighting in both the walkways and the parking lot. I felt extremely safe, because it is a gated community. Nevertheless, it was difficult to walk through the complex at night.

Wonderful location

The condo was cute and the access and location was fantastic to go to the beach! The furniture and curtains smelled like an I un bathed person, not just musty. Needed a better cleaning. Found unclean counters and tables, which the cleaning fees you expect better! But all in all I loved the location, so after lysoling everything it was good. There was plenty of towels sheets and kitchen supplies😃 the keys stuck and didn’t work. The gateman came and helped! Very polite and kind.

Five wonderful days

Our stay was precipitated by a memorial service for my nearly 100 year old aunt. Our stay at Pajaro provided a home for my wife and I and several other members of my family. Enjoyed the beds in particular and proximity to the beach. Aside from the drawback of very weak wifi, the unit we rented, though dated, was comfortable.

Very clean and comfortable condo. Older furnishings but in good shape and well maintained. Only negative was check in time of 4pm. Wish it could have been earlier. Even 3pm would have been good. Would willingly take earlier check out time for an earlier check in time.

Beautiful location overpriced unit

The unit was old and damp, carpet in need of professional cleaning, the bed covers were worn and dated. Was hoping to host a family get together at the unit, but one look at the place deterred that idea. Purchased a Damp Rid to prove the dampness of the unit (which collected over an inch of water within our 3 night stay) & hand delivered it upon checkout. The price I paid didn’t suffice an old, dingy and damp unit.

Mom’s birthday party

We really enjoyed our stay. The house had a lot of kitchen supplies, plates, cups, cooking utensils and other items, which was very nice. Having the beach right out your back door was awesome. The only things I would say is it is a bit old. It just needs a few things here and there touched up. Also remember to bring dish soap. They have soap for the dishwasher but didn’t have anything for washing bigger items. Over all enjoyed it very much.

Perfect getaway spot!

My teen sons and I love Pajaro Dunes! It’s a quick drive from the Bay Area Peninsula- the beach is never very crowded at all! This condo was well equipped, has a partial ocean view from the patio, and is only a few feet from beach access. Will definitely return!

Need’s updating

Check in was a bit of a disaster. I didn’t receive any communication from the resort about our accommodations. Once we finally got into the room we were very underwhelmed. The condo was close to beach but it is very run down. Very old furniture, lots of stuff in a small space. Carpets are damaged everywhere and the washer only worked part of the time. Condo unfortunately has a musty old smell.

Kitchen was well-supplied. Lighting was lacking in living room and bedroom if you wanted to read. Close to beach, and had extra chairs and table for the patio. We would return. It was fun to walk through all of the Pajaro Dunes properties.

Dirty Condo at Pajaro Dunes

Run-down and filthy kitchen, bathrooms, and grossly-soiled and stained carpeting, especially in kitchen, entry and living room. Drain in one shower was plugged. Kitchen appliances in poor condition, ceiling exhaust fan above cooktop covered in dirt and inoperable, and overall condo is in poor condition. No chairs were available for use at the beach. The Pajaro Dunes is located on a picturesque stretch of beach teaming with wildlife. The nature and Pacific coast were lovely.
