    We really enjoyed our stay here. The view was great and the beach access is great. The shower head could be improved and the tub is a big step up so it's a little awkward. Unfortunately the outdoor shower was out of order so it was a little challenging to clean the sand of as we went to the beach multiple times during each day. We would return again.

    The view is outstanding and loved being right on the beach. The condo is definitely dated and needs new carpet. There was nothing on the deck except a rusted out table and one chair. The coffee maker and dishwasher did not work. I loved the view but, would look elsewhere to stay next time.

    The owner Anna and I had several contacts owing to my last minute booking. She was most gracious ad welcoming. Upon arrival, the amazement began upon opening the door. Immedicately upon walking into the kitchen and dining area, the ocean view was evident and excellent. Next, the cleaniness of the condo was evident and one the pleasant surprize was the increditability of the care that went into the painting of the walls.

From the host, to the 180 degree ocean view, watching the sun set and listening to the waves crashing from the bed or the comfy couch sipping tea, the place was immaculate, to the beach waiting outside your door… Book now, you won’t regret it!

    The unit is a third floor Shorebirds Condo which are always wonderful. The views and area are breathtaking as always. However the cleanliness left a lot to be desired.We had to clean every surface in the kitchen before putting our things down, the bathroom was the worst with hairs everywhere, tub, walls, floor and sink. We had to clean all of it before we used it. There were potato chips coming out from under the couch, so we vacuumed.The special touches throughout the unit, prints, throw pillows, accent pieces were lovely, but the couches were uncomfortable, the foam is pretty broken down.It is a lovely unit, but needs a bit of care.Still viewing the ocean from up there is absolutely spectacular.

    This unit is one of the best in Pajaro Dunes. Since it's on the third/top floor and faces outwards towards the beach, it's very private and you don't have to worry about noise from upstairs neighbors. Anna was also an awesome host and was both extremely responsive to questions and very gracious. This is our third stay at Pajaro Dunes, and we know where we'll be coming back to in the future. Thanks Anna!

    Thank you for allowing us to stay at your perfect place. We had a rough year and this was what the 4 of us needed to face our next steps as a family. With our kids already young adults, it is difficult to find time where the 4 of us can enjoy each other's company. I prepared all the food beforehand so we did not visit any of the local attractions, other than the beach and my son and husband went to Carmel. My daughter brought all the books and games so we could all catch up on our reading and playing. My husband, who suffers the cold very much brought all the blankets from our home but we barely used all of them, temperature was great. In summary, we enjoyed it very much thanks to the environment being so welcome.

    We loved the location of this beachfront condo, but the cleanliness factor was not great. We walked in and there were crumbs on the counter like someone just ate a grilled cheese there. We went into the bedroom and the comforter was dirty and there was hair on the comforter, pillows and sheets. The unit has a washer and dryer so we washed everything ourselves before we could sleep in the bed. Definitely should look into hiring a new cleaning person.
