    This is the first time at Pajaro Dunes and it was amazing. The condo was beautiful, and the view from the condo was even more breathtaking. We couldn't of had a more relaxing time. We sat at the beach 1 full day doing nothing but walking the beach, flying the kite (which were provided as well as Beach chairs and umbrella, thank you) snacking, laughing and people watching. (I wanted to swim but water was too cold.) The condo was such a cozy retreat after a full day. We only cooked breakfast in the well furnished kitchen but the refrigerator kept our drinks and snacks ready. We did leave to have dinner in Santa Cruz 1 night and it was a nice, short drive. We will definitely be back. Thanks for helping us friends make more wonderful memories

    We really enjoyed our stay at this Pajaro Dunes VRBO. The ocean view was stunning, and the location couldn’t be better, so close to the beach! The condo was clean and comfortable, and we loved how peaceful the area was. After our stay, the host let me know the coffee pot carafe was cracked. I didn’t notice it while we were there, and they charged 22 to replace it. Aside from that, everything else was great, and I will definitely recommend it to friends!

The kitchen was the most well stocked we had ever seen in a rental with quality cookware and appliances, and my partner had a blast cooking multiple meals for us. The view from the living room and balcony was gorgeous and we enjoyed many evenings playing games as the sun set after a beach walk. Looking forward to our next trip!

The view was beautiful and it was the perfect spot to hang and recharge with some friends. My only feedback would be to have a comfier couch. I realize this is an odd review point, but we literally come to veg, watch movies, and eat, with a view. We booked last minute and the host responded within minutes and we received all of the necessary info to check in and access the property. I will definitely be back to this lovely spot!

    This condo has a fantastic view of the ocean and easy access to the beach. I stayed here to take a few days away to contemplate a transition and make plans. It was the perfect space to do that. Because I was staying there alone, I wanted a safe space. This is a gated community about a mile long. There is plenty of space for long walks on sidewalks or on the beach. The sunsets are magnificent. Tennis and Pickleball courts provide enough recreational space for those passionate about that. It is only 10 minutes from a grocery store in an agricultural area of CA. Highly recommend!

    This is a lovely well maintained unit. Pride of ownership throughout for sure and the little touches everywhere show they really want guests to have the best experience. The views and sound of the ocean are spectacular! It takes 200 steps to be on the beach:) I am scent sensitive and did have to air out the unit from the cleaner used.That was the only minor issue. Which is really a non issue after windows open for a little while. The host was extremely easy to communicate with. Bring a warm blanket if you want to maximize out on the deck :).Truly a little slice of heaven.
