Easy Beach getaway

Enjoyed a weekend away at Pajaro Dunes. A beach resort tucked away on the coast. Quiet, beautiful beach, foggy and cool (typical weather for June) and a nice break from inland heat.

We absolutely loved our stay at the condo! The views were incredible and with the screen doors open you can hear the amazing sounds of the ocean waves crashing, it was so peaceful!

What a view

I was so pleased when I opened the door to the most beautiful view. We were attending a party nearby and really only needed a bedroom so we didn't use the kitchen for anything more than coffee, but we had 2 choices in coffee machines, plenty of dishes if we needed, and a TV with stations. The place was perfect.a

Even Better Than It Looks In The Photos

Excellent in every way. The property was nice and quiet, and so was the beach. It was so peaceful, and we could hear the waves from the bedroom (and see them from the living room). We were very comfortable and would recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a nice beach getaway. It's so great when the positive reviews we all read on sites like VRBO and *hope* will be true wind up being 100% true. In this case, I would say the property was even better than the reviews, in fact. Many thanks for a truly fantastic stay!

This property was exactly as advertised. Maybe not super easy to get too, but the owner's instructions were very detailed and we had no problem's finding it. It is a third floor location with 15 exterior steps, but this was well explained ahead of time so no surprises. Beach access is very close, and it was a nice, uncrowded stretch of sand on the Bay. The town of Watsonville is quite close, and access to Hwy 1 is very simple, if you're heading to either Santa Cruz or Monterey/Big Sur. The only glitch was an unexpected plumbing issue that we found in progress upon arrival, but the owner was very up front and reactive to the issue, and it didn't overly impact or put a damper on our time there. These things happen!

Comfy with great view

We had a great stay overall—beautiful view and the place was very clean. However, I was disappointed to find that the duvet and pillows didn’t seem to have been cleaned--ever. The duvet, in particular, was extremely dirty, which was a letdown after seeing how spotless the rest of the home was. Thankfully, I found clean blankets in the closet and used those instead. I’d strongly recommend the owner either replace the comforter with a washable one or ensure it’s laundered between guests. It’s a small change that would make a big difference.

Very good view from a well furnished and updated condo. Foggy nearly the entire stay, but had a very good time. Would stay in this unit again. FYI. Owner might want to check out a new kitchen sink faucet which is stuck on spray mode only.
