Another amazing stay. My kids and I have been coming here the last 10 years or so. Beautiful property with every amenity you could ask for. We enjoyed quiet morning walks along the beach and playing in the surf in the afternoons. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

Thank you so much for the kind words and for continuing to choose our place after all these years. It really means a lot that you and your kids have been coming back for a decade. We’re glad you were able to enjoy the quiet morning beach walks and the afternoon surf time, and that the house had everything you needed. You’re always welcome — we hope to see you (and the kids) again soon.

We’re four longtime girlfriends who stayed here for a girls’ getaway, and we had a wonderful time! This was our second time at this condo, and we love everything about it. It’s clean, welcoming, and so comfortable. Being toward the end of the complex makes it especially quiet, and the beach is just a short and easy walk away. The hosts seem to have thought of everything. We especially appreciate being able to use their beach chairs instead of bringing our own. They’re kind and communicative, and our stay was easy from start to finish. We hope to come back again next year. Thank you for sharing your wonderful condo!

Thank you so much for coming back, and for such a kind note. It means a lot that you chose the condo again for a girls’ getaway, and that it felt clean, quiet, and easy from start to finish. We’re glad the end-of-complex private location and the short walk to the beach worked so well, and that the beach chairs were useful. We try to provide everything our guests will need. We’d love to welcome the four of you again next year. Thank you for sharing the condo with your friends.

We had a wonderful time at the condo! It met all our needs, was comfortable, quiet and calming, and easy access to Sunset Beach. While we only stayed for a couple of days, I could easily see us staying for quite a bit longer. Best place we've ever stayed at Pajaro Dunes.

The property and view were great. We had an elderly handicap person with us and the property is a bit challenging for a wheelchair.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 15 Jul 2026
We are glad you enjoyed you stay. We are sorry if the access to our condo with a wheelchair was a challenge. None of the condos at Pelican point are "handicapped accessible". They were built prior to ADA regulations. Most of the 1st floor and all of the second and third floor condos in our building have many steps. However our condo is on the ground floor and there are no steps from the parking lot to our front door. That said the path to the front door is steep in places and could be challenging for a wheelchair.

This property was just like the pictures. So very peaceful. Where sand dollars could easily be found. We enjoyed the very private, beach which was not crowded. The host communicated with us regarding a power outage during our stay which was greatly appreciated. Very clean and equipped condo with everything needed to make your stay perfect; including two fans.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re delighted the condo matched the photos and that you found the location so peaceful. It’s always special when guests discover sand dollars on that quiet stretch of beach — we’re glad you were able to enjoy it without the crowds. We really appreciate you noting the communication during the power outage. Keeping guests informed is a priority for us, so it’s good to know that helped. We’re also happy the condo felt clean, well-equipped, and comfortable (fans included!). Thank you again for choosing to stay with us — we’d love to welcome you back anytime. Warm regards.
