    Our stay at The Copper Nest was wonderful! Very clean and welcoming!! Weather for our January 2026 stay was sunny and perfect for our stay! Access to beach was close and kids were able to fly kites! Kitchen well stocked with amenities… my husband was the chef for several meals and was amazed at how much was available in the kitchen! We all thought beds were so comfortable! Erin’s communication was great and responded quickly to any questions!We hope to be back and thank you again!!!Lisa W.

    The Copper Nest is a super unique house. It was a bit of a climb with the amount of stairs but well worth the trek for the views once inside. The atmosphere of the house is homey and inviting. The hosts have stocked the house with everything you will need. We loved our stay and would like to return in the future. Thank you for a great family trip.

    We stayed for a week at the amazing Copper Nest. Our group was made up of three generations: grandparents, parents, and three children. The layout of the home was perfect for our needs. The children could chill out in the loft at night while the adults played cards at the kitchen table. It was the perfect blend of being together but having a bit of space. The kitchen had all of the utensils and basic spices that we needed. The bedrooms and bathrooms had ample space; the beds were comfy. The beach is a three minute walk— vast, uncrowded, and beautiful. The summer coastal weather was perfect: cool at night and in the morning, sunny in the afternoon. The provided boogie boards were used daily. This was one of the best vacations we’ve taken, with a perfect location and great space.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property. My family (husband + 2yo) and our best friends (2 adults, 5 yo + 2 yo) rented The Copper Nest for a birthday trip. We have been vacationing in Pajaro forEVER, but wanted a house big enough to accommodate our two families vs. a condo. This house, which we nicknamed The Treehouse, was incredible. Our favorite highlights: - Overall cleanliness. It felt very clean and well cared for throughout the home. - Comfort of the beds. I am so picky about rentals & hotel beds...they were so comfortable!! - Amenities!! To say this house came stocked is an UNDERSTATEMENT. From kitchen supplies & even standard spices/oils/Ziplocs, etc. to the beach equipment (toys, chairs, towels & more), to firewood, house towels and ample KID STUFF which was so so appreciated (toys, puzzles, cups/bib/plates, pack n' play + crib). The stairs are definitely something you want to factor in, as they did wear us out after a couple days. But, ultimately the wrap around deck and views were beyond worth the tired muscles to get there. The upstairs could get a bit toasty in the middle of the day - but opening the windows helped and a fan to circulate. Would happily stay here again if we are ever so lucky. Thank you to the hosts who had wonderful communication with me and made us feel welcome and set up to enjoy ourselves.

    Absoulutely amazing home and hosts. Our hosts were easy to connect with and always available for questions. The home has beautiful beach decor and every amenity we could have needed!! Every age group was happy! The kitchen was well stocked. There were fun toys, books and games for the littles. Beach toys, boogie boards, beach towels and anything else we might have wished for was available. The kitchen even had a lot of cutting boards that were perfect for our charcuterie board lunch on Thanksgiving day! Can't think of anything it was missing!! Our family loved it and we all had a wonderful time. The hosts welcomed us with a gift and left a few delicious treats! Such a wonderful home to stay in over Thanksgiving! Loved it in every way!!!

    Spacious kitchen with great views of the ocean and bountiful agriculture lands. The kitchen is well equipped with cookware, utensils, dishes (etc.) and spices. The dishwasher is nice and quiet while you're watching a movie :-) It's a nice open space with the kitchen and living area for the family to gather. Everything was comfy and homey. Bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. Upstairs bedroom is something to see. And the loft area is very inviting for all ages, with games and toys - even when trying to show a 4 year old how to play chess (evidently, there are rules I didn't know about). We used the provided beach chairs to sit in the sand and enjoy the beach, which was is close walk. There was a little free library next door which was kind of fun as we have one at home as well. We got there a day before the rest of the family arrived, and when they walked in the comments were wow!. And so was ours! Linens and towels were provided as well. We don't live too far away and with everything that was available, we brought too much stuff. We were welcomed with a nice card, a little candy and custom mugs (which our son tried to steal). Communication with Erin and Bryan was great and they helped answer any questions we had. We can go on and on, but you need to see it for yourself! It was wonderful to create family memories there and we are looking forward to additional visits at The Copper Nest. We've be telling neighbors to look up The Copper Nest on YouTube.

    This home lacked no imenities. I felt like we were staying at a 5 star hotel!!! A few of my favorite things include wrap around deck for ocean gazing, only a few steps from the beach, fully stocked kitchen and super comfy beds. I highly recommend this home for your next getaway!!

    We absolutely had the best stay at the Copper Nest. The hosts were very helpful through the whole process and promptly answered all our questions. When we checked in, we were welcomed with a customized welcome card and souvenir coffee mugs. We stayed here for our wedding weekend! We wanted a luxurious place to stay with our cousins and siblings for a wonderful weekend. My now husband and I loved the master suite upstairs and he large closet was a great for all our wedding attire. The two bedrooms on the main floor have their own access to the wrap around deck. We had the most wonderful stay there and look forward to coming back in years to come.
