The home was an ideal size for our family with easy access to the beach. We were fortunate to have glorious weather and a lovely view. The sports fans had access to several televised games off the main room. That was a nice touch.
We enjoyed Thanksgiving weekend with the family - just steps from the beach.
Great home for our 3 generation family! Would definitely stay again!
This is our second time staying at this location! We enjoy being close to the beach and the number of bedrooms/baths were great! However we were a little surprised at the overall wear and tear of the place since our last stay 15 months ago! A little refresh might be needed soon :)
Steps to the beach Had every thing we needed Big and spacious
Lots of room, great views, clean, comfortable,well outfitted kitchen
Love this vacation spot. Great location and nice parking was available in the driveway and next to property. The layout was perfect for our group. Very clean. Easy booking and check-in process. Strongly recommend.
It was a great stay
Beautiful beach and views. Could use a little spruce up. Nice carpet. Very comfortable for the 9 of us.
We had the best time. The home was big with lots of space. Rooms were big. Beautiful kitchen which was fully stocked. Beach entry way right avross the street. I highly recommend this home to anyone with big family. Just a beautiful stay. A vacation thats relaxing.
We loved the house, beach, and the tennis/pickleball courts. The kids and adults enjoyed the entire weekend (except getting the kids to bed!). No time for TV with all there was to do-games, views, walks, sand and waves, even a great climbing tree for little ones. Thanks so much!
The rental house was perfectly located, and fully stocked with all basics you will need. The ping pong table in garage was a hit!! It would have been nice to have a TV in the living room so that everyone could enjoy together. The room off the living room (where TV is located) is too small to fit more than four people, and we were a family of 11. The only negative was that the outside garbage cans were full upon our arrival, and not emptied/picked up until our departure, three days later.
Not much else to add. It was extremely clean. I have always had to clean at least some areas in other vacation rentals just to make it sanitary enough to stay healthy. Not this place! The housekeepers did a wonderful job! Even the laundry area was spotless! And the house was graciously set up but laid back enough to be able to feel really comfortable and at home. We all loved it! And all of us have rented many places all over the US. This was truly tops! Thank you, Sheila and Jim. You have certainly earned the “superb-hosts” rating from the 12 of us.
Over all excellent. Another bath or half bath upstairs would have been nice, as the people in the pull out sofa video room either have to go down stairs to the bathroom or through the master bedroom. The downstairs master bath definitely needs a longer shower curtain. You have to fight it constantly while showering to either keep it from wrapping around you or blowing outside the tub. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The view is great and closeness to the beach was wonderful. Close enough to stores etc too. thanks
Wonderful property for enjoying the beach and amenities at Pajaro Dunes. Upstairs has nice open kitchen/dining/living space and beautiful views of Monterey Bay. Bedroom layout was very accommodating for our larger family gathering especially with younger children who could go to bed early. Ping pong table, sand toys and beach chairs were a big hit! Was within thirty minutes of Monterey, Carmel, Santa Cruz and other local attractions... but our best time was just hanging out and enjoying the beach house, beach, and Pajaro Dunes facilities (play field and bocce ball court). We had a wonderful time! Thanks!
The neighborhood is very quiet and nice. Raccoons visit if you accidentally leave the garbage out while going across to the beach! Lol. The house was well equipped. I needed pot holders and there weren't any was the only thing missing. Close to the Boardwalk and town. We enjoyed the house. Apparently it is loud downstairs when people are upstairs, but...I was upstairs so not a problem. The house is showing signs of wear and needs a little love, but it was clean and fit us perfectly.
The house met our family’s needs and we had a wonderful time together. The owners were easy to reach and accommodate our needs. We hope to go back during warmer, sunny beach days! Thanks Sheila and Jim
Clean and well appointed. Would have appreciated a few starter items like keurig cup or some ground coffee. Great beach access.
Wonderful place to celebrate a 70th birthday. Great location. Short walk to the beach, as well as tennis and Pickleball. We appreciated the beach chairs and toys provided, as well as the abundance of extra towels.
We as grandparents wanted to take our family as a whole to the beach to enjoy a weekend of fun!!!…this place truly delivered…I would recommend and also repeat this weekend again with my family and friends!!!…clean… everything was available for a great day at the beach!!!…we loved it!!!! Thanks!!!
Hosts were extremely responsive to questions and minor maintenance items. We were a family of 11, ranging from 3 months to 70+. Great views, lots of space, well maintained. We particularly enjoyed the ping pong table in the garage and the tennis /pickle ball courts on the property. We brought our own rackets but the property and resort have loaners available too. For any items we forgot, we had Target delivery which made it easy to not leave the house. One item to note is that there are hardwood floors in the main spaces. This is great for many reasons, and also can be a bit loud for those sleeping on the first floor if you have early risers who are heavy walkers. This wasn’t a big deal for any of us; however if you have any light sleepers, ear plugs could be helpful. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!
We very much enjoyed getting 11 of us together during 4 days. Plenty of room for everyone, just a short walk to the beach.
Our stay here was wonderful for our family and teenage grandchildren! Plenty of room and supplies…the home is modern, well supplied, clean and provided beautiful ocean views. The beach, ping pong, volleyball and pickle ball courts provided lots of fun and great memories. Thank you!!
We had a fantastic time in the home. It was well stocked. We cooked every meal in the home. We ranged from 4 years old to 59. The beach was steps from the house and we loved strawberry picking. We made 2 pies with our boxes of strawberries. We would love to visit again in the future. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
