Location is unbelievable. Highlights are the views from the deck and the hot tub. Kitchen and linens / towels well stocked. Excellent communication with owners. House layout is very odd, with essentially only two bedrooms accessible by exterior stairs. we made it work for our family of five, but it costs a lot of money to have a guest sleeping in a living room pullout couch.
Oh yes the kitchen was more than supplied with everything you could ever need. Perfect view. Was not crazy about going outside to go to bedrooms but I made the stairs. I can’t call the downstairs couch a real bedroom but it would work for a bed for someone. All in all it was great and we had a wonderful memorable time. Thank you.
This is our second time staying here with our group of 12. It fit us perfectly and we make so many great memories here. The check in/out process is so easy. I would highly recommend staying here.
House was absolutely perfect. The location, view accessibility and the kitchen was so well stocked. (Appliances, glassware, dishes and pots , pans and bakeware. The guest room was perfect for the teenaged. Also having a hot tub on the deck overlooking the beach. Perfect
We had a great time in the rental! It was perfect because my husband and I could stay in the guest house with our kids while his elderly family got the main house. Beautiful view and they had sand buckets for the kids to use as well! Can’t wait for next year!
This house was wonderful. The most well stocked house we have stayed in yet. Everyspice, utensils,pots pans etc. This is our 4th house we have stayed at the Pajaro Dubes. Absolutely the best. Cant wait to try to get it again next year.
The house is lovely, and was perfect for our family, but the location was what really made this house perfect. Because the house is practically on the beach, my husband who has difficulty walking was able to enjoy being at the beach without actually walking on the sand.
We were all delighted with this property, my children and grandchildren gathered for my 70th birthday, and it couldn’t have been more special. It was always a dream of mine to be at a beach house like this, and I was not disappointed!
Beautiful, spacious and comfortable home on the ocean!
Our family of 9 have had a restful and wonderful time in this lovely home! Everything was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The main room is spacious and the view is sublime! The area is not crowded at this time of year ( May) and a great time was had by all. We made great memories and hope to be back one day!
It was nice to connect with family and enjoy time on the beach and in the house. It is away from town so no distractions. Easy to get to the beach and beautiful views right on the deck,Thank you
My family and I have stayed at this home numerous times and have thoroughly loved it. It is in a great location and a wonderful place to make lifelong memories!
The house, the view, the management of the stay...were all exceptional. We will be returning to and highly recommend this property. The property manager quickly responded to all our questions and requests. Everything exceeded our expectations.

Thank you Marty, we look forward to having you back.

We had an amazing stay at a great property! The house is extremely well equipped and very comfortable for large groups. The only downside is that it’s an unusual design which requires one to go outside and up stairs to get to any of the befrooms. In the summer, no big deal, and it didn’t bother us.
This house is absolutely amazing. The views are fantastic, it had everything we needed and we had a great time

Why they chose this property
The home belonged to my wife's aunt who bought the home in 1973. When she passed in 1997 the family sold the home. We always would say "wouldn't it be nice to one day own a home like Aunt Esther had at Pajaro Dunes"? Fast forward to 2002 while surfing the net for homes for sale at Pajaro Dunes I noticed a picture of the deck and the description of the home and we we couldn't believe the house was for sale again. We bought it back right then and have had it in the family ever since. We are happy to share with others this unique home and all the memories that are created there.
