Great location for a get away!

Great view of the beach from comfortable sofa and chairs. Great kitchen with everything you need. Went to sleep in a very comfortable bed listening to the waves. Easy access to the beach, which we were literally right next to it. We had a wonderful stay and are looking forward to next time.

Pajaro Dunes Cond

Wonderful quick getaway. The beach is wide and flat and a walk can be hours or minutes. When not on the beach it's a pleasure to look at it from a front row seat in the condo.

Lee/ Seal

View was 1million. Condo was nice. However it needs a deep clean, dry rot around a couple doors and windows, bbq had no propane ( we planned on bbqing dinner one night and had to punt that idea), Pajaro is getting a little run down. Hand rails and steps are in need of repair / replacement. It a very quite and peaceful place to vacation. We’ll be back, not sure if I’ll stay at that unit.

We had a great time.

We stayed 5 days and enjoyed the weather after all the storms that we had in January. The unit needs a little maintenance but we told the front desk and they responded quickly. See you next year.

Beautiful and close to beach

This was our first time staying in this condo. It was well stocked, clean, and comfortable. The beach was steps away, and the view was beautiful. The master bed was probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I usually have a stiff back in the morning, but I didn’t at all.

Very clear, Million dollar view, and lots to do near by. Great trails for hiking, tons of wildlife and great reseraunts. They will be back next year!

Ocean view exclusive - a Gem

We entered the 3rd floor condo to be overwhelmed by the large picture window view of the Pacific. It is like sitting in a large screen theater and watching the waves meet the beach. Wow factor. Condo is quite comfortable and easy access - steps to the beach. Comfortable sitting and kitchen is nicely stocked with necessities. Great condo for couples and families. Pajaro Dunes too is easy access to Watsonville and Monterey Bay activities.

Pros: View was great, staff helpful and friendly. Cons: Morning woke up to no heat, found drying grapes on the floor besides the couch. TV difficult to learn, could use some help or printed instruction on how to use all three remotes.

Restful Beach Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at PajaroDunes. The office staff is very accommodating. We were in condo Shorebird 160. We would probably choose a different unit on a next visit. The view was outstanding, beds comfortable. We didn't care for the dining furniture. Very uncomfortable and did not encourage us to sit around the table after meals to play games etc. They didn't have enough coffee cups and no coffee, and no amenities in the bathrooms, so bring your own hairdryer. These are just little gripes but they add up to how comfortable you'll be for a long visit.

Great Stay

The view from the top was amazing we've typically booked on the first couple floors this was our first stay on the top most floor. Property was well maintaned with a few minor niggles. The internet was out in our block for the duration of our 7 day stay, We were given credentials for another network but the signal was very weak. Typically we work from there for small portions of our trip so that was an inconvenience. The sliding screen doors were completely off the rails and the shower door handle for the twel kept sliding down which could be a bit of a hazard for older folks. We consider those all minor though our stay was great.

Needs updating

Walked in to a very musty smell because everything was old!! The place looked nothing like the photos. Old ugly curtains wouldn’t open all The way so they blocked the view!! A layer of dust was on the bathroom vanity lights. Toilets didn’t flush well, corkscrew broken, no wash clothes, cob webs everywhere, shower head dripping, etc.

Condo

The view from the condo is great, but the area it’s in is not!! It’s in an industrial area, the drive done a 3 mile road was not very nice. The cons itself was clean and updated but the outside needs many improvements. The only issue in the condo was the beds very uncomfortable for the price the mattress should be top quality, very difficult to sleep. Other than these things it was fine.

Pajaro Dunes Stay

The location and unit were excellent; great views and the constant sound of the waves crashing on the beach - it was wonderful. The unit was well maintained and clean; great location. I also appreciated the art and wall decorations; nicely done. We did have a problem with the internet; signal was weak and never worked well. We tried to watch Netflix on the smart tv but it wouldn't work because of the weak internet service. We also tried to watch a DVD but could not figure it out. That was surprising because I am tech savvy and can figure most technical issues without a problem. Other than that, it was great.

Great!

My cousin, her daughter and i had a wonderful 'beach stay' here. The condo was the perfect size, check in and check out was seamless. Clean and comfortable. Décor is a bit tired and could use updating. Feels a little like you're staying in an 'old ladies' house. (I would completely remove the curtains on the top window of the living room!) Basic supplies for kitchen and bathroom. (No coffee, but there were filters left from other guests. Also, mini soaps but no shampoo or hairdryer. Just to note for other guests.) There's basically NOTHING around here, so be prepared to bring in your own supplies and food. There is a Mini Mart at check in if you want some overpriced basics. We paid $20 for a bag of marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers to make s'mores on the beach. Kinda worth it, but if you're thrifty, plan ahead. Still, great view and i would go back. Hope this review is helpful and not rude!
