Shorebird highly recommended

Shorebirds 125 was very clean and quiet with all the amenities, the staff was very friendly and informative. The Beach was amazing. We had a designated fire pit on the beach with a full moon. Highly recommended.

Shorebirds 125 holiday 2023

We love going to Pajaro Dunes! This was a good visit, though suboptimal as something was off with the hot water, we could get water after running the faucet for several minutes, but the showers were always cold. Cold showers for a place that cost as much as this was not wonderful. We will not use this unit again despite great views.

Nice place

The condo we stayed in was very nice. Older and has an older smell but very clean. Views were amazing. Only negative is the beds. They seriously need to be replaced. They are old and very uncomfortable. The bed in the spare room actually is broken down and leans to one side. Probably ok for kids but not for adults. We stayed with another couple and did not sleep well in the bed. The views did make up for it. The beach is amazing. Lots of sand dollars and shells. We will definitely stay again but will probably choose another unit unless the beds have been upgraded. The bed in master bedroom is better and was tolerable. Great overall unit.

Relaxing stay by the beach

This property is exactly as advertised. This comfortable condo (I lovingly called our little tree house) is in a central location: 30 minutes from Monterey and 30 minutes from Santa Cruz. Our condo was clean, fully stocked and in a gated community. We can hear the ocean waves from our room and see the sunsets every evening. The front staff were always helpful and friendly. Our stay was peaceful with beach walks every morning and evening. The condo community has a pond/ marsh area for a peaceful walk. My family of four: from adults to the teens had only rave reviews for this rental. My teens favorite memories were picking up seashells and making smores by the bonfire. We plan on returning for many years to come. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Great views- hard beds

We love the location of Pajaro Dunes. Off the beaten path but still close to Santa Cruz. The place was clean and fully stocked and had great ocean views our only complaint is that the beds are all very very firm.

Nice & convenient. Beautiful view.

Everything is nice, except the owner needs desperately to replace the guest mattress. Extremely uncomfortable and for this rental price, a bee mattress is an investment needed.

OUR BEACHSIDE VACATION

Beautiful Beach setting... ( I LEFT A LIST OF 4 "NEEDS" - DATED AUG. . 9TH WHEN WE LEFT.; Not to sure if the Receptionist turned it in. Our stay ws very enjoyable, but we were concerned about about 3 pieces of furniture that were broken, plus not being able to use the barbque since it was very dirty.). Other than that, we felt very Blessed.

Beautiful beach but older property

The beach surrounding the property is beautiful and clean, as was the apartment, but a bit on the shabby side. Paint is peeling in some areas, the blinds are starting to fall apart and the shower in the extra bathroom screams at you if it's at a specific temperature. Given the cost of the accommodations, I would've expected better. However, the view is amazing! I would note that Pajaro Dunes is about a 10 minute drive from Watsonville (the closest town and place to get groceries, etc.). It was a nice location for visiting both Santa Cruz and Monterey as you're basically between the two. Cassidy's pizza was amazing!

Pajaro Dunes Stay

Ww enjoyed the peace and quiet, view, and cleanliness of the condo. It had everything we needed. Just a short walk to the beach. The only thing I would mention is the second bedroom wasn't perfect for adults. The double bed had a plastic liner appropriate for kids and the bed wasn't as comfortable as the master.

Nice condo, wish we could see out!

Very nice condo, tastefully upgraded and outfitted. Wish that the windows had their seal repaired as condensation in between the panes and grime on the outside really limited the ocean front view, which is what you pay these crazy prices for! Management brought in a dehumidifier, which may have helped if the humidity was an issue on the inside of the glass, but that was not the case. They did offer us a discount on our next stay, which was appreciated. Other than this, we had a pleasant stay. Do note that if renting through VRBO for this condo managed by Parjaro Dunes that you are not eligible for the 3 nights for the price of 2 promotion they offer. It was explained by management that this is because the VRBO price is already reduced, however…all the fees really impact any possible savings. We have been renting in Pajaro for over 40 years and have watched fees increase dramatically to the point where the cost outweighs the benefit of staying at this wonderful place. Booking on VRBO used to be a savings but we have noticed that those fees have greatly increased as well. This is not a reflection on this individual condo, it is very nice, and worth booking if you have the money, don’t mind the high fees, and if the windows get replaced!
