Loved our stay! The condo was clean and well‑kept, and the host was easy to communicate with. The beach right outside was a huge hit with my family!

Great to hear you enjoyed your stay, and the property! We hope that the memories made stay with you always and we hope that you come back to visit again soon! Thanks again, - Mat and Leticia
The condo was super comfortable and incredibly easy to get to the beach. The beds were clean and my kids said “best sleep of their lives.” Absolutely loved hearing the ocean waves while we slept! Plan on staying again!
This condo is well equipped, and well located for several adventures, including on the beach, pinnacles national Park, the Monterey aquarium, and the rest of the Bay Area has to offer.

Truly happy that you enjoyed our home away from home. Thank you for taking such great care of it! We hope you got to see and visit all the local sites that you mentioned. They are all so beautiful and we’re very fortunate to have all in such close proximity to the property. If you did miss any of the sites - well, that’s a great reason to come back and enjoy the area again! Looking forward to your next visit! - Mat and Leticia
Such a cute condo, perfect place for our stay. Loved to hear the ocean, and we were only steps away from the beach. We enjoyed our stay, thank you so much!
We had a great stay. Excellent location, clean condo, and great amenities like Wifi, TV, beach towels and beach chairs. We enjoyed the quick steps to the beach as well as the pickleball and basketball courts on property.
A beautiful cozy condo. Clean and comfortable with everything needed for the family. Love Pajaro Dunes and the accessibility to the beach.

Thank you so much for your kind words.
You’re right, although you can see the water from inside, there’s really nothing like being able to walk just a few steps out to dig your toes in the sand, and feel the breeze of the ocean.
So happy that you enjoyed our condo and we look forward to hosting you again. Such a huge compliment to hear you’d like to return - so truly humbling for us.
Thank you,
Mat and Leticia
We love Pajaro Dunes!! It is the perfect beachfront getaway. The condo was cutely, decorated, and well supplied with everything we would need. Nothing better than falling asleep to the sound of the ocean!
We had a wonderful day. The property is gorgeous. Just steps to the beach. Amenities and shopping very close. Matt and Leticia are wonderful hosts. I will absolutely stay here again.

Fully equipped place! Very cute, and perfect access to the beach. We only needed ice cream which they had at the little store! Host was very attentive when I had a question.
We loved our stay at Pajaro Dunes. The condo was absolutely clean and fresh. Everything we needed in the home was easily accessible and just steps away from beach access. Our communication with the host was AMAZING from day one until our very last day. We look forward to staying here for our upcoming trips at Pajaro Dunes. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We really enjoyed our time.

It really warms our hearts to hear guests glowing reviews and know that they enjoyed their time at our home as much as we do.
So looking forward to you staying with us again!
Until next time! - Mat and Leticia
Our family had a fantastic stay at Mat and Leticia’s condo! We are a family of five and it had everything we needed for our stay. We loved being within steps of the beach, and Monterey is only about 30 mins away, so it was an easy drive to visit the aquarium and go kayaking. We had a beach bonfire every night and even saw whales from the shoreline. It’s a gated community and the security guards were friendly and helpful. We would absolutely stay again!

Allegra and family were a delight. We received them as guests from the previous owner of our condo and they were super understanding and accommodating. Glad we were able to host them - would do it again anytime!
Cozy condo on the beach. Well stocked and perfect for a comfortable stay. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Mini fridge in the dining room was nice. Washer and dryer inside the condo with detergent and softener to do laundry was a huge plus. Bathrooms were stocked with enough towels and toilet paper. Beach chairs were a nice surprise. Grill was clean and propane was provided which was great for burgers. Condo was very clean. Would definitely stay here again!

Great guest! All interactions, which were minimal, were delightful. We received this guest from the previous owner which could have been logistically challenging - but the guests were easy to work with and really, just simply great. Looking forward to hosting them again in the future!
Unit was clean as can be. The showers were oddly high to step into. However stools were available still tough to adjust to. Bunk bed was flipped for understable reasons but made it tough for the kids to get onto the ladder from top bunk to climb down. Overall we would stay again.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hosting you again!
We have 2 bathrooms, one with a tub and the other has a larger shower. We only recently acquired the property and we assume the previous owner opted for a larger shower while renovating and replaced the bathtub to make for a more spacious shower. It is a ground floor unit so I assume the plumbing is above the flooring and under the shower floor which explains the slight elevation of that shower. In case it is needed, we also have a sturdy rail installed right outside the shower for any that may want to use it if they feel unsteady.
The bunk beds have a small modification to the railing facing the wall to allow for access to the wall-thermostat in that room. I think we may try rearranging the beds to see if that feels better in the space. Thanks for bringing that up. We would have never known, so thank you so much for your feedback!
The hosts gave us all the information we needed to check in easily. They checked on us twice while we were there. The beach below the unit was expansive and uncrowded. Also, there was very easy access to the beach and close by. The stove in the unit was older and had a broken burner. Otherwise, the kitchen was well stocked. The showers in both bathrooms might be difficult for elderly people to get into as the floors of both were about 12 inches off the floor. The hosts did provide step stools in both bathrooms to help make the step easier. The hosts also provided books for kids and a few games to play. There was even a nightlight in the "kids" room and a closet full of beach chairs, sand toys, and a kite for family fun.
Perfect location for our girl get away! Loved the uncrowded beach and super quiet condo. Really close access to the beach and just a short drive to Apros, Capitola, and Santa Cruz! As mentioned in other reviews, the shower can be difficult to access if you have limited mobility. Really enjoyed using the pickleball courts. The carts available to load your stuff in and out was awesome! Host was super responsive, friendly and helpful!! Thanks for a super relaxing week!
The owners were so kind and helpful with our family situation, and the location was just perfect—close to the Monterey area but a quiet getaway right on the dunes!
Our experience was unforgettable. Stunning property with the ocean just a few steps away. The owner was super friendly and responsive. We can’t wait to come back.
