The condo is fantastic. It’s very clean, updated, and very comfortable in terms of furniture and beds. It was also very well stocked for cooking and dining throughout the week. There were two of us staying for the week and it serves our needs perfectly. The only drawback for this unit is that it mostly overlooks the parking area and has no ocean view whatsoever. While the blackout shades provide privacy from very public areas, they also leave the unit in total darkness. Luckily, they have great lighting.

Absolutely love the Dunes! Our second time staying here as a family. The ability to walk to the beach and back, also a short drive from both Monterrey and Santa Cruz. Beautiful for family or as a couple. I imagine even a get away by yourself!

Check-in threw us off a bit as you have to go to the opposite side of the pajaro dunes that the property is on to get the keys to the room. Turn right into gatehouse instead of left. Then go back left through that different gatehouse after checking in. Thankfully the staff at check-in were extremely pleasant and helpful once there. The condo is beautifully decorated and has really nice recliner power couches. The beach is just a few steps away. There is some rennovation going on outside so you have to go around the front of the unit instead of the normal straight back to the beach, though this is only a few steps difference. Overall a great stay!
