    Overall we had a great stay. The house met all of our needs. Before arriving we were contacted by staff to let us know the dryer was broken and there was termite damage to one set of stairs resulting in them being closed off. They provided a laundry service and we were able to use a second set of stairs to access the roof, but I wish the termite damage was noted in the listing as we were traveling with young children. Additionally, upon arrival we were informed of a couple other needed repairs and closures that I think could’ve been disclosed in the listing- like the stairs in the front being “condemned”. Within the home there were several signs for blinds and whatnot that needed repair and the house didn’t seem as updated with paint as in the pictures. Also, we would consider the bbq to be small not medium sized, but we made it work. Again, overall we had a great time and enjoyed our stay, but wish there was more transparency in regards to the homes condition. You can’t beat the proximity to the beach and the grounds were great. The kids had a blast. We will definitely visit Pajaro Dunes again.

    It was nice with lots of stairs.( I had just had a bad fall, the stairs were challenging ) Good view. Family area a little smaller than we would have liked.

    House size and location and view was good, but rest wasn’t really. Pictures in ad weren’t all accurate. I’m ok with aged homes but not flooring coming apart, large cracks in the grout on counters, heater not working in 1 room, tiles in 1 bathroom detached all outside stall shower area. Several issues that could cause mold issues, and one room snelled mildewy. Also, we were told a week before our stay that a couple of the stairs outside to the deck were condemned and not usable, and had been for over a year. The decks can be accessed from inside though. This home needs a lot of maintenance and updating.

    Great view, wonderful top deck with sun and views, easy beach access, plenty of parking, kitchen well-stocked, bbq was rusty, two bedrooms without closets need hooks for hanging clothes, and the bedroom with twin beds smelled musty. All four of us couples enjoyed our stay though.

    The first floor sheets n towel were sour n there were no spares to replace them. One housekeeper in sight so never got to address the problem. We washed the stuff ourselves. Charging a cleaning fee should cover clean everything. The guard was rude no the South Gate n will be filing a complaint.

    The stay was good. Like everyone stated lots and lots of stairs. Showers are small. The house was clean and the appliance worked except the toaster.

    This house must have been amazing when it was built 50+ years ago. The problem is not much has been updated since then. To name a few examples, bathrooms are in poor condition, the showers don’t fit a regular height person, the top floor heater made horrible noises, and the kitchen floor is crumbling. Warning: visitors must be physically fit because there are several flights of stairs between the parking and the house and then the house itself is and additional three stories with kitchen at the top so expect to get a workout. This wouldn’t work for anyone elderly. We still had an enjoyable time because any shack at Pájaro Dunes let’s you enjoy the amazing beach and it beautiful sunsets.
