Lovely staycation, access to resprt amenities was a plus!

Early arrival meant time to play tennis before our unit was ready. Pajaro dunes is perfect for a private beach experience, and the small convenience store always has what we have forgotten. We had a blast in monterey playing tourist and loved our time back at home base on the beach. One of our favorite getaway spots!

Perfect condo in the dunes!

We loved our long weekend at Pajaro Dunes, playing on the beach, visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and enjoyed the local produce, especially strawberries 🍓 The condo was beautiful inside and out, just steps from the beach and had everything we needed. Our kids didn’t want to leave!

We had a very relaxing couple of days here at the beach. It is so nice to have the water right out the door! The condo is very bright inside with the big windows looking toward the ocean and very comfortable. I will suggest it to my friends.

Loved the unit. Fully stocked with everything we needed. Furniture seating was very comfortable and relaxing. Unit was spotless in all areas. If you’re heading to Pajaro Dunes I’d highly recommend this unit. If I’m back in the area it would be the one I’ll look for.

Beachfront 2 Bedroom

Shorebirds #69 was a pleasant beach side stay. You could hear the ocean from the bedroom & living room which is what makes a quality ocean stay for me. Mere steps from the beach, plenty of opportunity to go beach combing, which is my favorite activity! More than sufficient kitchen items, paper towels and toilet paper available. Furniture was comfortable and ample. We would definitely stay in #69 again.

Calm and peaceful oasis

We loved our stay. It truly was a very relaxing vacation. The home is very well stocked with tools for cooking ( not a lot of spices outside of salt and pepper). I loved all the clean sponges and well stocked supplies for cleaning and washing dishes. It feels very secluded so we always do a lot of cooking when staying here. We loved the access to the beach- just a few steps away to the stairs that lead us to the beach. My children enjoyed playing on the beach everyday. We also enjoyed walking and running on the beach as well. The grounds at Pajaro Dunes are so well maintained. There were so my beautiful plants and flowers to admire this time around.

Sister time

The reclining chairs don’t work for an older person. One of the screen doors came off on the second day we were there. The maintenance man came and took it and said it was an easy repair and he would bring it back that night or the next day. We didn’t get it back until the 4th day we were there. The toilet by the guest bathroom didn’t flush properly and had to be plunged once. Kitchen was well stocked.
