relaxing retreat at the beach with old friends

We were very happy with the size, beautiful setting, bedroom set up and cleanliness of the unit #340 at Shorebirds. We enjoyed a couple meals out in Moss landing just 15 minutes away- and had lots of great re-connecting in the comfy living room. Great access to the beach- nice long walks and caught amazing sunsets every night. We would definitely stay here again. Very convenient from San Jose Morgan Hill area- less than an hour- but felt like a paradise.

Breathtaking Experience

My family enjoyed the breathtaking view and the comfort of our stay, especially from those Norwegian recliners. The kitchen area was spacious and spotless. The facility had its own WiFi set-up (independent of Pajaro Dunes) that made for easier access. My digital buffs were impressed. The only suggestion I have is installing a Queen size bed in the master bedroom for greater comfort. Other than that, a BIG thank you to the owners for making our stay the experience we will cherish for a long time.

Right at the beach!

Overall, we enjoyed our time. The condo was perfect for our family of 3, but would have been crowded. The kitchen was spacious and had a good selection of utensils and cooking items. There were no seasonings or any "pantry items" as listed in the listing, except for salt and pepper, which was in a very high cabinet that we didn't find until the last day. The beds were comfortable. There were plenty of towels but no shampoo/conditioner. The wifi wasn't very strong. The view is great, but the patio could use nicer chairs. It's nice having a store available for necessities.

A favorite destination

Condo was excellent! The view was almost perfect - we had to go out to the stairs to the beach to watch the sunset - no biggie. The windows were dirty because of the ocean mist and bird poops, but maintenance came and cleaned them quickly. The kitchen was one of the best equipped we've ever stayed in. Only issue was the dryer didn't - we survived. We thought it was funny that our unit was next door to the unit we first stayed in years ago. Hope we can go back.

Fire alarm

The fire alarm kept going off . No one fixed the issue for 48 hours. My guess left early because the alarm was in their room.The HOA did well by refunding one day. Unfortunately the family trip did pan out because my family members left early.

Great place to stay. Clean and comfortable. My only suggestion is to bring your own toilet paper and paper towels. Stuff supplied is so thin it’s more wasteful than useful. Everything else is awesome.

Beautiful place. Our only issue was a sewage smell in one of our bathrooms. They had someone look at it (we weren’t home) and came home and the smell was still there. The owners of that property may want to have that checked out
