Absolutely love this home! This is our 3rd time staying at this home and plan to come back again. It’s spacious and adorable and the second floor has a lovely view of the ocean. The kitchen is stocked with all the dishes and cookware you will need which making staying so much better. Love this place!
We returned for another wonderful family vacation. This place has it all for us - space for everyone to spread out, well-equipped kitchen, great beach access, hot tub, and sport courts nearby. The property management was super responsive. It is easily one of our favorite places - thanks for another great stay!
Our family (with adult children) had a wonderful week relaxing while enjoying the spectacular semi-oceanfront views at this spacious home in Pajaro Dunes. The beds were comfortable, the linens and towels were plentiful, the kitchen was well-stocked (a large pasta pot would be a welcome addition), the hot tub suitably hot on a chilly day, and the living spaces were conducive to hours of game-playing and conversation. The property management company was very responsive to our every need.We enjoyed a festive New Year's Eve with additional family and toasted 2026 off the deck overlooking the Pacific. What could be better?
The place was very nice and the community and location was great!When we got there, the fridge stunk, which was a bummer but other than that it was good!
Very well stocked and spacious for our family of 10; check-in was easy and the kitchen had nearly every appliance, supplies one could want. We did advise that more coffee cups were neededWe would use again
We had a great time at the beach!
The views were incredible and the house was as advertised.
Well-stocked and great for a family getaway with kids. The resort amenities were also great!
We all really enjoyed our stay. The living spaces are large and family friendly with lots of comfortable seating. The kitchen is well equipped-in fact, this is the most well equipped VRBO I’ve stayed in. The large covered patios were great. Proximity to the beach and other amenities is perfect. We really loved having a driveway to park in. I would definitely stay here again.
This rental has amazing amenities, everything you could need in the kitchen. The surfboards were a blast, the hottub awesome, and the location perfect! We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at sunset with the family.
We had a fantastic family weekend at this house. It worked great for our family, was clean, well appointed, and had everything we needed. The hot tub was an added bonus and very well maintained. We enjoyed the pool table and the covered deck immensely.
This property was so amazing. The views were gorgeous, just steps from the beach. We had a really relaxing stay and would absolutely go again given the opportunity. The only downside is that there isn’t much going on in the little town. But the drive to Santa Cruz or Monterey is not too bad!
This was our 2nd year staying at this house. It’s the perfect get away for our group of 12 moms. Comfortable beds, plenty of supplies and gorgeous view. We did have a plumbing issue this time but the owners were very responsive and got someone out quickly.
The house is great. The location is amazing. It all makes for a very special vacation. Get your groceries and you really never have to leave! Only one comment for feedback is that the patio could have been cleaned before we arrived. But didn't really matter in the end!
Our family getaway at this home for the 4th of July was exactly what we needed. From the cool weather and beautiful beach, to the relaxing home and warm hot tub. Everyone in our family had a great time. Any questions we had were quickly answered by the property managers and the checkin/checkout process was smooth and easy. We definitely would return for another stay in this home!
Beautiful home with various patios - close to the beach - a delight to stay in. The home has amble towels, pillows,, sheets, beach toys and surfboards. We loved the well stocked kitchen and the updated bathroom and sinks. The agent is quick to respond to all questions. Fabulous.
We loved the property for our family as we had space to spread out whilst being close to tennis as well as other fun site activities like horseshoe, bocce ball but best of all just steps from the beach. We could watch the waves from the deck and had two great barbecues on the back deck along with soaking in the hot tub. We will be back again as everyone loved it.
