Perfect ground level condo

This was the cleanest condo I’ve ever stayed in. Appreciated there were no stairs. It is so hard to find ground floor condos. Loved the location and the kitchen was well stocked. Easy access to the beach, was amazing.

Another great stay at Pajaro Dunes.

My wife, kiss and I stay at Pajaro Dunes three or four times a year. This stay was at Shorebirds. Vrbo does not allow me to state the unit number, but It is a spacious three bedroom on the first level. We brought some older relatives. Everyone enjoyed the week. The room was clean, roomy and well appointed. It has no ocean view, but is literally steps from the beach. Looking forward to our next stay at the Dunes.

Just as advertised

This property was just as it was advertised. The kitchen was even more stocked than I expected. Warning if you have an electric car - they have very limited charging stations! We could charge on Thu, but once the weekend arrived, we could not get access to the chargers.

Weekend getaway

We’ve stayed a few times at pajarro dunes just not this resort, so we were excited to see what we rented. Love that it’s gated, check in ladies were so nice and great to answer our questions. Loved facility it right on ocean/beach but be careful to pay attention to full details of rental, not all home have ocean views. Ours faced parking lot and I thought it had views of ocean. Pictures made the place look nice and bright but really felt dark like a dungeon. And bedding in one bedroom was not washed. Unit did have enough dishes and great space for our 6 adults. But this resort is really nice and quiet, great to relax. Just bummed at how much we paid and couldn’t see ocean from unit.

Good resort-style

The property was fine - the fixtures and bathrooms are dated, but furniture and decor are really nice. The beds were very comfy and the towels soft and thick! We had two main issues - one was the very (very very) thin ceiling. We were in a ground floor unit and could hear every step in the unit above. It would be great if that unit was empty, but it seemed that another family with younger kids was there. It was a lot. The other issue is because we didn't do our homework to realize how COLD the ocean is at this point in Cali! We wondered why we struggled to find out if it was OK to swim from this beach - the answer is yes, but, it is cold so you likely won't want to! Still managed to catch a bit of sunburn, but not exactly the mental picture I had. The resort feel is a bit snobby for us but is as advertised. We finished the visit with a beach bonfire that was graciously comped by Pajaro because they had to turn off the water for a few hours for maintenance. Kudos to their customer support, and trust me, the bonfire was worth it! Sitting on the beach with the hubs watching the stars - perfection!
