Perfect for large families with kids

My family and I celebrated my 40th birthday here and we had a wonderful time. The kids loved the theater room, while the adults kicked back upstairs. Short walk to the beach was awesome. This home is spacious and cozy. We definitely want to stay here again in the future.

Nice big house, plenty of room for lots of people.

This house is plenty big for a large group of people. It has 2 very large communal areas which never makes it feel crowded. The BEST large table I've seen with plenty room for everyone to fit. Also a well stocked kitchen and game cabinet!

Great family vacation!

Our multigenerational family thoroughly enjoyed staying here. House was clean and comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. Short walk to a beautiful beach. Except for some groups walking by, we were the only ones around at the beach. We were glad to use some of the beach equipment in the outside storage area. Carts are provided to transport your luggage from the parking lot to the house up the path. Bar soap provided for bathing and hand washing, but bring your own shampoo!

Simply beautiful

This is such a wonderful property. So close to a beautiful beach, wild flowers and interesting architecture as your neighbors, very clean and nicely decorated. Albeit a little remote, it is within a gated community that feels super safe, and the closest town is only10 minutes away for grocery and (limited) restaurants. One thing to note though is that the "bonus room" is within another room without its own direct door to the hallway, so can only be accessed through the other room, hence the name.

Great house on the dunes

Really nice house with awesome location steps to the beach. The house is a nice layout but all three bathrooms are downstairs. Kitchen is small but functional. Needs a new can opener. The kitchen is well equipped, even for large groups. Overall a great rental if you can get past the high fees that cost more than the rental price per night. $1000 in fees for a two night rental is over the top.

Family Gathering at Pajaro Dunes

We had a wonderful time with our two sons, and their 5 children, ranging from 10 months to 8 years. We put up a gate on stairs so that the baby wouldn't tumble down the stairs. The house was easy, the kids room fabulous. We did mostly take out and I'm glad, because it would have been difficult to cook a big meal in the kitchen, it's small and outdated. But the space, the location, the beach....perfect!

Nice Property, short walk to beach

We really enjoyed our stay however you should note that this is a large home 2700 square feet, ALL Bedrooms AND Bathrooms are down the stairs. This was rough on our group as we had a couple of older 80+ senior ladies with us. The place was pretty clean but could use a deep cleaning and some TLC. Overall it's a nice property.

Nice but needs some upkeep

Overall, the house was comfortable and enjoyable to stay at. We had 6 adults and 4 teens. The adults were all very comfortable in the three separate bedrooms but the bunk beds were small for the teens. The room for the kids, however was great.... spacious with its own TV and rooms for games. The house wasn’t extremely clean, there was layered dust on a few things but overall it was clean enough. There were a few maintenance issues such as kitchen and bedroom dresser drawers that needed repairs (they threatened to fall out if you opened too fully), the kitchen sink leaks a bit, etc but nothing that ruined our stay. We had issues with a coffee pot and were impressed with how quickly the office had a brand new coffee maker delivered to us. Regarding the location, it is about 5 miles from the town of Watsonville, so no shopping or grocery stores close by. Also, there is no view of the ocean but it’s a 3 min walk to the beach and the house provides lots of fun beach equipment. The tennis courts were under construction, so that was one bummer. Overall, we would probably stay there again.
