Even The Weather was Outstanding

Our location was near the beach, our home was as advertised, and the Weather was Outstanding. We were able to walk the beach many times and each time was wonderful. Can't wait to come back.

A beautiful spot to get away from it all

This condo is good for a couple, as it has one bedroom and one bathroom. The location is on the walkway. Easy access to beach. Kitchen has what you need. Bed very comfy. Quiet and you can hear the ocean, but just view of dunes. The only issues are that the chair in patio was broken and the shower has a very tricky step down, so it is not a good choice for someone with limited mobility.

Relaxing Getaway!

We truly enjoyed our stay here and would return! The property is wonderfully furnished with great care and artistic touches and the kitchen has all the amenities just like home. Very cozy and comfortable! Every day, we took advantage of being only a short walk from the beach and spent hours walking and sitting there. The only suggestion we have is to ensure the property is cleaned more thoroughly between guest stays. We found the kitchen counters and rugs in need of a bit more attention. Other than than that, we loved this place! Thank you!

visit to the dunes

Property was well equipped with all necessary amenities First floor location was a must as there is no real access for luggage to the upper floors Rubbermaid carts were very helpful and available Inside property was very dark and damp for the most part with inadequate bathroom lighting, particularly the shower Bathroom has an ant problem Outside deck is in need of work as it is old and uncomfortable Entire property has a skunk problem and evenings were wrung with their unpleasant odor Check in was poorly handled. We arrived at 2 PM and although the property was cleaned and empty, we were not granted access til 4PM. We were told we would receive a call if property was available before 4, but that turned out to be an unprofessional stall job

Pajaro Dunes Shorebird 174

Cute place! While we didn't have a ocean view (which we knew ahead of time), the view of the dunes was relaxing and you could hear the ocean. You are maybe 30 seconds walking, to the beach! The bed was awesome, some sort of temperpedic mattress. The bathroom, kitchen and livingroom were nicely done. It was a relaxing place, with great service at the lobby. I marked it a 4 star for cleanliness as we did find bread crumbs on the carpet, and the outside of the windows were in bad need of cleaning. Nothing we couldn't live with nor would we consider it unclean. The only thing we had a hard time with was the lighting. After the sun set, the condo was dark for us. There is only one lamp in the livingroom so if you wanted to read on the couch, you were out of luck. The other lighting was dim...the dining area, the kitchen and bathroom. The bedroom had good lighting though! Note...there are no coffee pods, so take your own! Also, there was no ice, even tho there were trays in the freezer. All minor items. We would stay at this condo again!
