    We had a great stay! We were visiting for a wedding at Pajaro, and the condo was in walking distance to all the events. The condo was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. Check-in was easy at the gate, and the staff at Pajaro was very friendly. Highly recommend!

    We had a great experience. The home is spacious and clean. It was great being steps away from the beach. The beds are ver comfortable (lots of stars for that). Showers have great pressure. Well stocked with boardgames, pots, pans, utensils. It was a little chilly so the fireplace was a plus. It be great to have extra blankets. It is gated so you feel safe. There is a pond with ducks that you can feed (buy food at security building). We enjoyed it so much, we hope to return. Thank you for opening your home to our family.

    Condo was well provisioned with everything we needed. We had a great relaxing time playing games and walking out to the beach. There is not a great view of the water from the window but the sea grasses are beautiful and you are only 20ish feet from the exit to the beach. It was a great place to stay.

    Beautiful ocean view that was right off the beach. It was like home away from home with the amenities. The condo was clean with no issues and had a lovely welcome binder with a lot of helpful information for the area. We had a slight issue with WiFi, but when contacting the host, they responded quickly and helped get the matter figured out. The staff was friendly and super helpful, Larry was great!

    The condo was clean and very well stocked, the proximity and access to the beach can't be beat. Other than the living room furnishings being a little worn down all in all it suited us fine. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything that you would need to cook at home and the bathrooms were nicely updated. I recommend this rental.

    The check-in information was given via an email ahead of time and it was the most smooth easy-going check-in we’ve ever had.The kitchen facilities were wonderful. Everything we could’ve possibly imagined was there. There was a little back deck that we had our morning coffee on. We were one door away from the entrance to the beach.We had never been to the area before, so I asked a lot of questions and they were very timely on getting back to me with very good information. I would highly highly recommend using them.We are even planning our return trip already.

    Our second stay at this incredible Shorebird building exceeded all expectations! From the swift 15-second check-in at the security gate to the instant embrace of our stunning home, everything was a dream. The beautifully landscaped paths leading up to our door, navigated effortlessly with the help of those generous carts, built anticipation for the breathtaking view awaiting us inside. This wasn't just a rental; it was a home providing everything needed for a truly comfortable and enjoyable stay, with the in-unit washer and dryer proving particularly invaluable. We reveled in having access to countless attractions both north and south, but the ultimate joy was sinking toes into the pristine sands of the wildlife refuge beach, where endless space and tranquility were our companions. This truly is a hidden gem! 5 stars – we're already counting down the days until next year!
