Ocean Front Condo Shorebirds 119

Enjoyed walking the beach with family members we only see once a year. Always a fine time together listening to the ocean waves come in!

Loved the peaceful setting and beach. Condo was very clean and welcoming. Nice beds!

The Good: the location is wonderful if you want easy access to the ocean. So much wildlife to enjoy. Bring your binoculars. It isn't close to any ammenities so planning to eat in and have what you need is must. We were prepared and looking forward to 5 days unplugged. Nice coffee maker and coffee was provided if you forgot yours. Adequate # of plates, etc. Dishwasher was great. Two beach chairs were in the closet and so appreciated. The Bad: neither bed had a mattress pad protecting the mattress and both had sheets that would not stay on the mattresses. Nights were uncomfortable dealing with migrating sheets and ending up sleeping directly on the mattress (this isn't sanitary). No extra bedding anywhere. Had to take a blanket off a twin bed to use as a bottom sheet. Towels are small and of low quality (seriously, the kind I keep in my car for my dogs). Second bathroom, the shower is plugged. Stood in 3 of water each shower. Kitchen is still very sparsely stocked for cooking. No strainer, had to cook pasta in a pot appropriate for boiling crab. Bare minimum and be prepared to improvise. Furniture in the livingroom is uncomfortable and oversized for the room making it difficult to get out on the deck. Slip covers don't improve quality or comfort. Deck furniture is rusting and paint is chipping. The security chain lock on the inside was installed with short screws and popped off the first day. I don't like to leave negative reviews but I also feel that landlords have a responsibility to provide expected ammenities as the price to rent is high and going higher. It should be a mutually beneficial rental experience. I also want fellow renters to know what to expect and plan for. We will definitely be back to this location - it is lovely, but would not rent this unit again unless reviews indicate the care for renters experience has improved.

What a wonderful condo, a very short walk to the beach. Beautiful view of the bay. The beds were comfy and we slept well with the sounds of the ocean. We do have a couple of suggestions that would enhance your beautiful Condo: For the kitchen, you've got to supply cutting knives. There was one small serated knife (steak knife) I had to cut a cantaloupe, tomatoes, bread. The carpet is dirty in some areas and actually torn up in several places as if a dog or cat was trying to get out. Probably need some new towels. Some were rather worn and one was stained. Thank you for renting to us and please consider those enhancements.

The entire team was very accommodating and helpful. We had a hiccup with our dates but they reacted swiftly and found us an alternative unit to cover our stay. Great communication, and excellent service!

We have been coming to Pajaro Dune for over 40 years and have stayed in different Shorebird rentals. We love the location, the beach , and the overall vibe at the Dunes. However, unit 119 was completely unstocked. No cooking utensils, only one pot and one pan, no can opener, no wine opener, no cooking utensils.no matches, no potholders, no soap for the showers, no hair dryers, no extras (books, cards, binoculars, etc) all of which we have had in other units for the same price. It was VERY DISAPPOINTING, especially for the cost.
