Great location but needs an update

Upon walking in, both my husband and I were struck with the stale odor of the place. It was clear from the listing pictures that the furnishings were dated, but the whole unit is in need of significant renovation and decluttering. We found the odor so offensive that we were not able to stay there that evening for fear that our family would become sick and not able to enjoy the rest of our trip. I reached out to the Host that evening and did not hear back until I requested VRBO's assistance. To the host's credit, he did refund 1/2 of our stay.

Superb Location

Steps from an amazing stretch of coastline, sunrises sunsets. Unit accommodated our family of four adults comfortably. Gas fireplace in living area provided a cozy space for cool evening and early morning gatherings. Would return.

Good Stay

The beach was beautiful. The condo is nicely decorated and furnished; and was clean. The TV and internet was easy to use; and there is a fan for white noise or cooling. Due to the large window glass catching a lot of sun, the afternoons could get a little warm, but cooled as the sun started to drop. If I lived there, I would have an extra floor fan or replace the dining room light with a fan, which would change air flow dynamic significantly (I like to keep rooms cooler than most folks). This is a downstairs unit which my wife liked due to no stairs. The upper units have stairs but have more ocean and beach visibility, although the ocean (not beach) is visible from this unit. Good stay.

Clean, comfortable condo on the beach

This condo was immaculately clean, even the windows! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. Everything was just as listed on VRBO. We had some problems initially entering the condo with the new door code and lock, but someone promptly helped us resolve the problem.

We love the peace & quiet of Pajaro Dunes. It's easily accessible to our home in Palo Alto & is just 15 miles south of Santa Cruz & 30 miles north of Monterey. We love walking on the beach & around the property.
