Two full bathrooms and a washer and dryer so no need to bring too many clothes.

This is a unique property. Even thought here are other units around it, it is very quiet. Inside is very comfortable and we didn't find anything lacking. The beach is easily accessed and is wonderful. There's plenty of beach to walk both up and down from the access point. Just a beautiful spot!

Annette’s place is exactly as pictured/described. It has been updated and wonderfully maintained, and is everything you could ask for in a rental - extremely clean, beautiful view (I recommend bringing binoculars to watch the whales, dolphins, etc.), safe and secure location, well stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture, soft sheets and towels, only a few steps to the beach.

Beautiful Coastal Retreat

We loved our weekend away at the pajaro dunes beach condo! The home was very clean, cozy and welcoming. We felt extremely relaxed and comfortable. The beds were very comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed, the fireplace was cozy and the view was amazing. We saw tons of pelicans and other birds as well as a few adorable otters. It was incredible to be able to just walk a few steps down to the beach and stay all day without the hassle of finding parking or a long drive home. We felt safe and all of the other neighbors were so nice and friendly. It’s a really special place and we’d love to come back.

Very pleasant property with fantastic views of the ocean and the breaking waves. Up high enough to see the surf. Kitchen well stocked with the necessary tools. Beds were comfortable.

Weekend Away with the Grandparents

We arrived late and had a bit of a snafu. Annette was extremely responsive through messaging and had us up an running within the hour. The place was really relaxing...great views of the ocean. No problem with the amenities. We had some difficultly with the WIFI, but that could be user error. The beds were cozy and it was great to cozy up to a movie at night with the fireplace crackling. I especially liked the access to the various movie apps such as Netflix and Prime video. Great stay. Thanks.
