Gorgeous views. Such a wonderful spot to drink coffee in the morning and watch the seals. We even saw whales breaching! The rooms were super comfy too!
This property is amazing. Host was quick to respond to request. All amenities were described accurately to listing. We had nine people stay here with abundant personal space. The beach chairs on the sandy knoll were perfect for morning and evenings! Would highly recommend this property for a beautiful experience of the dunes.
The location is perfect. We especially enjoyed the outdoor area where you can sit and watch the waves. The hot tub was a hit. And the house worked out great for our family.
We spent the weekend at this beautiful home to celebrate an early Thanksgiving with our large family. The house was perfect for us, with lots of room for everyone. The large living room was the perfect place for everyone to gather, enjoy the fire, and the spectacular views. The outdoor space was unbelievable, with the hot tub and the fire pit in the dunes. We would definitely stay again!
Very comfortable home right on the beach in Pajaro Dunes. Comfortable beds and a well appointed kitchen. The large living room with a huge fireplace and a view of the beach was the best part. Communication with the host was great. We will be back!
The perfect spot for a few families to spend the weekend- this place has all the necessary amenities and more! The location is spectacular and it is clear that the owners have been very intentional in the set up and the extras they have included. The owner was also very responsive to massaging. Definitely recommend and hoping to return soon!
We joined with family for 3 nights at this location and it was EXCELLENT! The firepit was the ultimate highlight as well as the sunken living room with a view of the ocean. all the bedrooms made for a comfortable stay for our group of 8 adults & 2 kids. only critique we had was that the kitchen is pretty small for a large group, but we cooked all of our meals for the entire weekend.
The property was beautiful. Beach access was quick and easy. Beds were very comfortable! Lots of toys for the little ones to play with. Check in process was painless. We will definitely be back. Just longer next time!
This was the most incredible property ever. The views were unbelievable and the amenities were endless. The location could not be more idyllic. The house was fully equipped with everything we could’ve needed. The decor was tasteful and immaculate. We had such a lovely stay here and I would stay again in a heartbeat! I highly highly recommend it.
For our family, it was one of the best experiences. We shared an early thanksgiving with our parents and this property was perfect for easy access to the beautiful coastal views and paths to the parking. The home was well maintained and clean. The property manager was easy to contact for any and all questions. We already considered renting again sometime.
We enjoyed a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. Monterey and Santa Cruz are just a short drive away, offering plenty of activities and adventure opportunities. While the home is serene and in a quiet area, with a beach that was often empty with just a few other people scattered about at most. We enjoyed walks, s'mores, watching sea otters from the shore, and collecting shells. The hosts were quick to respond to questions. The kitchen is very well equipped. All of us - including the teenagers! - were very sad to leave.
My husband and I had our three kids and our parents over for a weekend getaway where we had a minister visit to marry us. It was the perfect location for a small family gathering for our families to be combined and see us get married. We got married by the sunken window, ran in the ocean, changed into pajamas, and had s’mores at the fire pit. There were 10 of us plus the minister. It was tiny, intimate, and total perfection. We plan to come back every year for our anniversary. Note - we recognize there are no events allowed- this was NOT an event, this was a super tiny gathering of family and no more than the listing slept. Huge thanks to the owner for having such great communication with us. 10/10 recommend for a getaway in the perfect beach location!!
Good communication, location, and setup to accommodate a larger group. Bathrooms were all nicely renovated and plenty of living space to enjoy time together when not at the beach. Great stay overall.
Excellent place for an extended family stay!! Walked out the door, and we were on the beach. Clean, wonderful communication, comfy beds and well stocked kitchen. The views from inside and out were spectacular!!
House has very nice scenery of the ocean. Very well equipped with modern kitchen gadgets. Family was very happy and enjoyed the outdoor patio and sand area facing the beach. Will definitely consider going back next year
