This house is even more stunning in person: the pictures don’t even do it justice! We have stayed in all the Pajaro neighborhoods and just love it in general. The location of this house is lovely and was perfect for our large group of mixed adult couples and families. The upstairs master was stunning and we loved sleeping to the sound of the waves!

We had a fabulous stay at this home! We were specifically looking for a beachfront property with three king bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and this house delivered perfectly. The remodel is beautiful, with large windows, a stunning waterfall island, and spacious living areas that made it easy for all of us to relax and enjoy.It was the perfect setup for me, my husband, my adult sister, and our parents for a long weekend. The neighborhood is gorgeous, the house had everything we needed, and we truly enjoyed our time here. We would definitely stay again!

Family Beach Vacation

This property couldn't have been more perfect for our large group of 12. Everyone had plenty of space and the view was spectacular. Lots of seabirds and we even saw an otter out in the surf. The house was fully stocked with everything you might need for a fun vacation with kids and adults in mind. We even discovered pickleball! Who knew it would be so fun?? Carl was responsive and made our stay run smoothly. All around a top-notch experience.

A great escape

This property is incredible, and we had a great time. Check-in was a breeze; the house is well-stocked, the Wi-Fi worked great, and there were plenty of extras for travelers who want to enjoy the beach but didn't bring all the necessary items, such as sand buckets, kites, and chairs. We saw whales and sea otters every day, and the host recommended some restaurants that we enjoyed. Our kids enjoyed the beach, table tennis in the garage, and a visit to a local farm where they picked strawberries. We would stay here again and hope to be back next Summer.

Incredibly property for our family reunion of seven young adults and parents. Remodel is beautifully done! Common area is exceptional for gathering, cooking, eating, playing games, watching movies, dance parties and simply enjoying the spectacular ocean views. Property manager is very responsive. We hope to be back!

Relaxing Getaway

My entire family had such an amazing stay. The property is exactly as described and pictures do not do the view justice. There is not direct beach access from the back of the property. However, that is not an issue as the entire neighborhood is beautiful and it is just a short 3 minute walk to the sand/beach. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets from the comfort of the living room and amazing breakfast views from the dining room table. Kitchen also had everything we needed for cooking, and even baking, during our stay. Beautiful home and location. And would definitely stay here again.

4th of July stay

The house is in a great location between Santa Cruz and Monterey with exceptional ocean views. Great communication with everything that the house has to offer. We got to check in a little bit early, thank you Carl. Other than the couch is a bit uncomfortable, everything the house has is perfect along with an extra fridge in the garage for our large group. We did bring air mattresses to accommodate the extra sleeping arrangements. Thank you again!

Amazing Beach House

Spent the weekend to celebrate our kids birthday and we could not have asked for a better location! Teenagers were busy from all day, Hanging at the beach, playing tennis, basketball, volleyball, all right on site! Then at night so much space in the house, they played games until the wee hours of the morning without my Husband and I even being bothered because the house is so BIG! Carl was an incredible host, communicated beautifully for check in and out. Couple questions while we were there and he responded immediately! We will absolutely be Back😊

Amazing view and comfy beds!

Such a beautiful home. The views from the patio are stunning. Sitting out in the chairs and watching the waves was our family's favorite past time. The beds are amazingly comfy. The property management responded to our inquiries quickly and were very friendly. The inner courtyard was serene and a great place to relax.

Family getaway

Great location and roomy house. Nice parking area and easy access to home. Could use more lighting, a little too dark. Common area furniture needs an update. Very good host communication. Space is as described. Very enjoyable and comfortable family space.
