Thank you for your kind words and we love hearing what a great time you had!
Very comfortable stay. We walked the gorgeous beach, surfed, and played pickleball! With activities and the spacious, comfortable home there is no need to leave Pajaro Dunes. Lovely.
With bedrooms for all, amazing view and steps to the beach…..perfect family gathering for 4 couples and a toddler. Lots of space to be quiet or engaged in pool, ping pong, cooking or beach hiking. Would come again!
We had an amazing family vacation. The mix of adults kids and grandkids all loved having breakfast lunch and dinner on the beautiful deck. The bedrooms were very comfortable. The double kitchens were great when cooking for a big group.
House was great. Gated community made it feel extra safe. Nice beach. House had great bedrooms for large group. Living area was large with plenty to do.

Hi Mark, so glad to hear you were comfortable in the home and community! Keep up on our latest endeavors at "Best of Dunes"!
A beautiful, spacious home, fully equipped with activities for all ages and spectacular views over the Pacific. Management communication was great.
Despite intermittent rain, it was a nice compcompination of hiking, museum and relaxing..
This home was very well stocked with the cookware we wanted. It was comfortable and spacious and the location was just what we had hoped for. All in all a fun holiday for us all
This house is definitely set up for large groups. The extra kitchen allows for more refrigerator space and a 2nd oven came in handy. The pool table/ ping pong table was a huge hit with the family. The steps to get to the were more than I expected but the trolley cart was a huge help. The basement bedrooms and play space allows everyone to find their own space. We loved being able to walk down the path a short way to the beach access stairway.

Thank you for your visit and sharing how the home was a hit with your family! There is a staircase with railing to reach the home and thank you for pointing that out. We hope to see you again in this home or another!
Another peaceful and wonderful stay at the Best of Dunes. Everything was perfect and the House was exactly as advertised. Stacey's communication during our stay was helpful and on point. I highly recommend to anyone interested in staying.
This house is the perfect size for a large family! Everyone was comfortable in their own, quiet, comfortable bedrooms. The multiple sitting areas assured everyone had a place to enjoy the wonderful views! We had the best time doing a family craft, while watching old home movies in the massive great room...and did I mention the amazing ocean view! The host was great with communication. Can't wait to go back again! mconversation
We've stayed at Pajaro Dunes for 25 years and never had a view this fantastic. The gathering spaces are wonderful--place to read, stare at the ocean, watch a game or movie on TV, play billiards or ping pong. It's great!
This location was above and beyond our expectations! The house is amazing and has space and activities for all ages. We loved whale and dolphin watching from the deck, playing pool in the living room, boogie boarding in the ocean, cooking fine meals in the 2 kitchens, long walks on the beach, and watching several movies of the 900 in the playroom! We all truly had a fantastic time!
The location right on the beach was magnificent. The house was very clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for the 10 of us. The only negative is not having parking right at the house We had to use a cart with our belongings along a path, then we had to carry everything up the stairs to the house. Otherwise, we had a great time.
