A cozy place in the middle of nowhere

We had never heard of this area and had planned on staying here so we were close to Monterey and wanted to spend a day or more exploring the aquarium and those areas. But after we arrived, we wished we had several more days to stay at the property and enjoy the beach and bay

Great Getaway

Very well equipped. Overall the property was well equipped and came with everything we needed. If i had to nitpick at anything at all, would have liked for something lighting and more seating in the back deck to allow space for the family to relax. All in all, we will be back and try to make this a yearly trip!

I rounded up from 4.5 stars. The space is very lovely in most categories. My two under 10 kiddos loved the bunk beds. The ground floor location is nice for our kids and their grandparents. We like to stay in different condos at Pájaro Dunes resort. This one had an updated kitchen which was nicer than most we stay in. The only small downside was the lighting. There is no lighting directly over the dining table. It was too dim in the evening and hard to play boards games. The can lights had multiple settings but the placement led to some areas being poorly lit, even at full brightness. It's fine if you like mood lighting at dinner. The staff at Pájaro Dunes are excellent. They called to say the space was cleaned early and ready for check in before the 4pm time.

Not worth the price.

stove oven a mess shelves inside did not fit. Heaters did not work well. Water in unit had no filters and tasted awful. For the money I could have put everyone in a 5 star hotel

Thank you for sharing your experience. Please note that we do have a full time maintenance and housekeeping team available and willing to assist if the issues had been brought to our attention during your stay. While we are not a 5 star luxury hotel, people do come to Pajaro Dunes Resort to experience the serene beach location and feel they are at their home away from home. Our vacation homes are all privately owned and shared with renters to enjoy as their own for a time. We find all feedback very important and will report the issues with our team to better improve our renters stay. We do have over 100 properties to choose from and hope you'll give us another try in the future. We hope you’ll reach out when you’re ready to return and we can assist you in selecting a more updated home. Best Regards, Pajaro Dunes Team
