Relaxing Ocean Retreat
My spouse and I rented this property to attend a beachfront wedding on the premises. It was convenient to the venue and a peaceful and comfortable. The condo had all the amenities that you would need for a nice getaway. I would suggest two things providing a Duraflame log in the fireplace for guests and shampoo/conditioner. I looked forward to using the fireplace and was disappointed when we had to go out to the store after checking. We had to buy a log and shampoo/conditioner. Outside of those two issues, the space was a nice weekend retreat.

Horrible unit
I had to check out after one day due to multiple issues with no hot water, couch that smelled like animals, unadvertised third floor unit with an non ADA compliant three hundred foot ramp to unit, dirty balcony, dishwasher not properly functioning, very dirty. No expected VRBO perks like seasonings, coffee, etc.

Needs updating.
Very dated condo. Nice view, but not a single comfortable place to sit or sleep. Very disappointed but we stuck out the week as we enjoy the beach. Owners need to be their own guests. Hate to complain. Hopefully some changes will be made.

Needs updates and maintenance badly
Everything is worn out. Have pictures if you like. Cabinets don’t shut in kitchen. Have a rock to hold open bathroom door. Molding missing around baseboard spiderwebs in windows. Furniture is really worn out with springs showing through. We had stayed at Pajaro Dunes before and loved it. Would not stay at this unit again.

Lovely beach vacation
This was a great location. I would caution that the pull out couch is not fit for an adult or even two older kids. Our small children slept fine but the pull out was in rough condition. Everything else was great.

Pelican 66
Unit was dated, but comfortable and clean and most importantly quite. Was concerned about the comments regarding the bed, but seems they got a new mattress for the bedroom. Million dollar view and more or less had our little spot on the beach to ourselves. Definitely in our happy place. Even had a fire on the beach which was nice. Highly recommend Pajaro Dunes. Note toaster didn’t work good. Burnt one side and hardly cooked the other. No it wasn’t on bagel mode. Other than that, but we enjoyed our stay.

Relaxing location steps from the beach
My family and I stayed here for three nights. It was very relaxing. We left the windows open in the evening while listening to the ocean. Check in process was a bit confusing at the beginning but the front desk attendants were very sweet. There are several grocery stores about 10-15 minutes away + fast food. Very convenient. I will be returning to Pajaro Dunes.

Nice stay but no check in communication
We always love staying at Pajaro. Was disappointed though at the lack of communication about check in procedure prior to our arrival, even after messaging the property manager via the app to request info about check in. This meant that on our arrival we were basically just trying out each booth in the hopes that they could tell us what to do, and it was evident at the first location that the attendant was annoyed at the lack of info we had but what could we do! All I could tell her was our reservation code and show her my booking on VRBO.

Nice location, close to ocean
Nice location, I had a very nice view of the ocean but you can tell the property is very old and dated. We did not use the kitchen much as we were in and out enjoying the scenery of the surrounding areas. But the sleeping arrangements were horrible, it is advertised as sleeps four but the sofa sleeper that they expect you to sleep on is the worst “bed” I have ever slept on. Husband and I had to give our bed to our girls because of how uncomfortable the sofa bed was, they also let us know that the bed in the bedroom was not comfortable at all and made lots of noise when they moved all night.Was the longest three nights of my life as it came to the sleeping part. We would probably come back to the more updated modern properties but definitely not to this one, I haven’t taken Motrin so much in my life so that my back would stop hurting.

Amazing get away
We had the best time on our vacation, everything was what we expected and we all loved our stay.. the only complain we have is the bed! The mattress is absolutely terrible! It’s to bad that it hasn’t been replaced! A vacation is about relaxing and it’s impossible to sleep much or with any comfort on that bed.. With that said, the overall experience of everything else was so amazing I’d probably rent this same place again but I would bring either an air mattress or some kind of foam cover for the mattress..

Super Location!
Pajaro Dunes is always a pleasure to visit. You can't beat the location so close to the beach and nearby river. This unit, though set back a little bit, still has a great view of the beach and Monterey Bay and coastline. Being on the 3rd floor is a plus due to less chance of noise from neighbors. Pelican 66 is an attractive and bright one-bedroom that uses the space well. The kitchen was moderately well stocked and functional. About the only negative for us was the quality/age of the mattress on the bed. It is old and not very comfortable. We made it work but normally would expect much better from an otherwise excellent condo.

Some small misgivings
The reading lamp behind the bedboard is broken (the switch is frozen). The mattress sags badly in the middle. Both my wife and I had sore backs in the morning. Underneath the bed had not been cleaned in some time. Otherwise, the property is wonderful due to its outstanding location.

Awesome view of the beach. It was perfect for a 2 night stay. The condo had everything we needed. Just a small suggestion, a full length mirror is needed. We went out to dinner both nights and it was hard to see full length on the outfits. Will be back!
