Pajaro Dunes Vacation Home on Epic Private Beach for family or Romantic Getaway

Pajaro Dunes Vacation Home on Epic Private Beach for family or Romantic Getaway

10/10 Excellent
"The condo’s location is simply excellent if one is looking for a beach getaway, with miles of beach access both north and south. Kitchen was well-equipped for the easy breakfast/dinner - toaster, coffee machine, enough pots, pans, plates, bowls for a group of four for a week. House was very clean with enough towels for an entire week- washer/dryer came in handy as well. Beach access cannot be more convenient given the outdoor shower station on the same floor. I didn’t receive any detailed instructions via email from Vrbo before check-in day but communication with Jon was great - via Vrbo chat for any questions. Highly recommend for anyone. I’d look Jon’s place up in the future if we visit the area again."

"The view is even better than the pictures…it is fab-u-lous darling.Anna’s place is perfect for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing place to base themselves for Moss Landing and all the nature that Monterey bay has to offer, from the beach and the balcony we saw sea lions and dolphins and even hummingbirds in the garden.Our kids loved the easy access to the beach and it was a short drive to Monterey or Santa Cruz.We absolutely loved it and should have stayed for a week.If we’re ever back on the west coast we’ll be back."

8/10 Good
"Quiet private location with a balcony and ocean view. While you need a car to get around, it's still close for visiting Monterey or Santa Cruz. The living room furniture is an older style and could be updated to something more comfortable. Also the patio furniture is worn and there's no chairs on the balcony. For the price you pay, I'd prefer updated furniture."

"This lovely beach condo was perfect for our stay at Pajaro Dunes. We were six adults, and there was plenty of room for us. The condo is decorated really cute with a beach theme throughout. It was very clean and neat. I loved the little coffee station with complimentary Keurig pods which our coffee drinkers appreciated. We had a great stay!"
