Great location, view & plenty of space!

We loved the location and the condo was very much what was represented on the VRBO website. Space was clean, nice to each have our own bathrooms. Great kitchen, living room had a wonderful view - especially because it was a corner unit. Memorable vacation. Would definitely return.

The view is fantastic, beach shoreline on two different sides of the house. The sound of the continuous waves so close was both calming and peaceful. Each bedroom (4) had its own bathroom which was very accommodating for our entire family. We were comfortable and appreciated all of the amenities that were provided. We completed puzzles and read books that were available which was an added pleasure. The home was decorated so nicely and with care, very clean and updated. Walkways to the beach were convenient. We even had the bonus of watching whales breach, seals congregate, pelicans flock all from the living room. We also saw two or three racoons! I would definitely recommend this beautiful place.

Great views, awesome sunsets

This was a very comfortable place to vacation, the kitchen is equipped with everything! One drawback that might hinder some people is that 2 bedrooms are one level down, and the other 2 bedrooms are 2 levels down. Also, the exit directions were not clear as to what to do with the linens,which is certainly not a deal breaker.

Monterey Bay Family Get Together

Our check-in and first night was made easier by a local pizza delivery. First day was spent at the Aquarium. Which we all loved. One thing that I would strongly urge management to include in their description of going south to and from Downtown Monterey and the Aquarium at any time the sun is up on any day of the week, is that the only two lane road to and from will add at least 2 hours, round trip, to the day because of traffic. The remainder of our time was spent at the beach where we had a blast and were visited by a lone otter as well as a pod of dolphins.

Annual Family Trip

Lok the place except for the stairs to lower level. Also, we have stayed here before and one of the mattresses in the lower levels is shot, something I told them owner 5 years ago and was told he wouldn't do anything. I just assumed it would be taken care of since that time, but it wasn't. I will not return until I am assured it has been replaced.

Hi Jerald! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we are appreciative of all the feedback we can get as we're always striving to be better overall. We are sorry to hear that you didn't have the greatest experience with the beds in the downstairs level. We've opened up work orders to have our housekeeping team inspect and evaluate the mattresses, should they conclude that they need to be replaced then we would advise the homeowner to replace sooner rather than later. As for your return if the situation in Cypress 1 is the same our sales team is more than happy to help you find another home for your next visit. Warm regards, Pajaro Dunes Resort

Oceanfront and endless beach

The well stocked kitchen was accurate. Brought some 'things' from home, but there was everything we needed - even a shrimp boil pot. The space was very comfortable for six adults. Our bed was fine, but the other couples thought they were too soft. We were on the end and it was quiet and the view of the ocean was unobstructed. Great location and great set-up.
