Nice getaway

Had a great time staying at Pajaro Dunes while we were attending the car show in Pebble Beach. I was worried it might be a bit far away but he drive was lovely and being out of the hustle and bustle of Carmel made it a relaxing trip. The home was well equipped and clean. We did have an issue getting the TV to work but the staff sent out maintenance and they were able to get it working for us quickly.

Perfect house and location

This was our first time staying at Pajaro Dunes Resort and we loved it! The house was true to what the pictures show. Our family of 8 enjoyed the space and being steps from a beach that wasn't crowded. We all voted we wanted to return. The staff that checked us in were very professional and welcoming.

Lovely home and great location

Great home and served our family well. Very well stocked kitchen and plenty of space. Loved having access to the beach right across the street. Screens on the windows would be nice but wasn’t much of an issue. Also, having a smart tv in the living room would be a really nice feature. Being able to access apps such as Netflix would have been helpful. Would definitely stay at this home again in the future.

Great place and location for a weekend by the beach.

What a great place for a weekend getaway with family. While the inside is a little dated, the beach house is great and well furnishes with a plethora of kitchen utensils. We’d love to come back in the future.

Beauty at the Beach

Marvelous house! Loved the wrap-around multiple decks and views. The rooms were comfy and the no shoe policy is a great idea to keep the sand outside. Would have been nice to have an outside shower or hose to wash off shoes and seashells. Kitchen is well stocked and the gas stove is fabulous. Short walk to the best beach EVER. The quiet nights were sooo relaxing and I got some good sleep with the ocean in the background. Hopefully the screens are replaced soon so the moths can't get in. Would definitely stay here again!

Pajaro dunes is amazing!

Pajaro dunes is special. Beautiful, pristine beach right across the street from the house. Fun watching all the pelicans and sand pipers fly by. Beach volleyball court just down the block was hours of fun. The house was really nice. Clean and had plenty of space for 8 people. Has a well equipped kitchen but bring your own oil and spices! Only disappointment was the fire pit was not working.

Overall Good Stay (for us not the skunks*)

Checkin/directions confusing ie. don't have your name down, wrong gate, no other gate, then finally checked. Our group of seven found the home overall comfortable and clean. Kitchen has variety of pots/pans/dishes/glassware plenty and nice Bosch dishwasher. Cabinets could use a cleaning as well as some doorjambs/doors through the house. There are no screens on windows and three of the six sliding doors (glad no critters wandered in, but yes the skunks made their presence known prior to discovering them). The front master bed/bath is very nice. Others are good. Beds are comfortable, lots of extra pillows and towels (didn't need, but nice to have in case). Games, cards, puzzles available. Nice to have a card table and dinning table. Balcony off the Great Rm is wonderful to sit on, watch and listen to the ocean. Fire table on back deck was not able to be used at this time. There was a propane grill. Two large decks in back and a balcony as well, probably a good power wash overall would be good, on the table and chairs as well out there. We did not use. There is a garage, but no access. Nice looking laundry, but we did not use. Over all we enjoyed the stay, perfect for what we needed for family time. --- *While taking trash out my husband discovered three skunks looking up at him! They'd settled in one of the cans that had no lids, under the front steps! Called Pajaro Dunes Maintenance, who sent NICK out the next morning, who gently removed the trio, another man came later to deliver lids for the cans. Thank you Nick!*

Girls beach getaway

Accessing the property was a bit unclear. We didn’t receive information on how to access the property until it was time to check in. I mean down to the exact minute of checking then we were told to come to a property location and retrieve keys. This is probably the only downfall to our trip. The home was absolutely beautiful. Perfectly positioned where you could see the water from most of their very large windows. (Keep in mind that the windows do not have screens.) You could hear the ocean clear as day. The house has a lot of steps so also keep that in mind. The rooms are very spacious and there is a bathroom pretty much for each area. The beds are extremely comfortable! I have not slept that good in years. The kitchen is fully stocked with plates glasses and cooking ware. Refrigerator is spacious! Access to the beach is literally a five minute walk. From there we took the most amazing pictures of the sunset and then a morning walk that was so clear and pristine it seemed unreal. We had to leave early for an emergency and the property management office was closed. Security helped us to drop our check out belongings and the property management follow up with us the next day. They were so kind and so accommodating during our time of need. I will never forget that! All in all this was a terrific trip that we hope to do again in the very near future.

Great Location, Great Floor Plan

Great Place for a family outing. Plenty of space indoor and outdoors. Lots of stairs to navigate and we were thankful there was a baby stair gate. Kitchen fully stocked. Disappointed we could not use the deck propane fireplace per fire restrictions. Also a little difficult to manage temperature as there is only one temp gauge for whole house and not two or more for individual floors. Overall-Super
