Nice getaway

Had a great time staying at Pajaro Dunes while we were attending the car show in Pebble Beach. I was worried it might be a bit far away but he drive was lovely and being out of the hustle and bustle of Carmel made it a relaxing trip. The home was well equipped and clean. We did have an issue getting the TV to work but the staff sent out maintenance and they were able to get it working for us quickly.

Great place and location for a weekend by the beach.

What a great place for a weekend getaway with family. While the inside is a little dated, the beach house is great and well furnishes with a plethora of kitchen utensils. We’d love to come back in the future.

Amazing Location for some family fun!

Perfect house and location

This was our first time staying at Pajaro Dunes Resort and we loved it! The house was true to what the pictures show. Our family of 8 enjoyed the space and being steps from a beach that wasn't crowded. We all voted we wanted to return. The staff that checked us in were very professional and welcoming.

Enjoyed a relaxing stay at Pajaro Dunes resort. The house was wonderful and so comfortable. Very convenient to go to the beach. The only improvement needed would be the bbq grill. Only two burners were working. Other than that, the house was beautiful and well maintained.

Lovely home and great location

Great home and served our family well. Very well stocked kitchen and plenty of space. Loved having access to the beach right across the street. Screens on the windows would be nice but wasn’t much of an issue. Also, having a smart tv in the living room would be a really nice feature. Being able to access apps such as Netflix would have been helpful. Would definitely stay at this home again in the future.

Pajaro dunes is amazing!

Pajaro dunes is special. Beautiful, pristine beach right across the street from the house. Fun watching all the pelicans and sand pipers fly by. Beach volleyball court just down the block was hours of fun. The house was really nice. Clean and had plenty of space for 8 people. Has a well equipped kitchen but bring your own oil and spices! Only disappointment was the fire pit was not working.

Beauty at the Beach

Marvelous house! Loved the wrap-around multiple decks and views. The rooms were comfy and the no shoe policy is a great idea to keep the sand outside. Would have been nice to have an outside shower or hose to wash off shoes and seashells. Kitchen is well stocked and the gas stove is fabulous. Short walk to the best beach EVER. The quiet nights were sooo relaxing and I got some good sleep with the ocean in the background. Hopefully the screens are replaced soon so the moths can't get in. Would definitely stay here again!

Great family getaway

The property was fantastic and very clean. There was six of us and we had plenty of room to stretch out and spend some amazing family time together. My only request would be to explain the check-in procedure a little better before we arrived. You have to stop at two different gates. One to receive keys and the other to get a parking pass. This was not explained before we arrived. Other than that little hiccup our stay was great!!!

Beautiful beach property

We had a nice stay with three generations, aged 70+ to 18 months. The house is in good condition and has great proximity to Pajaro Dunes’ best asset - the spectacular beach. We were able to cook three meals a day and everyone had a comfortable spot to rest/sleep. It is moderately appointed. The beds are great. All in all, I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. For the price, we have stayed in nicer houses: from Palm Springs to Sea Ranch to Hawaii. We had a problem with the BBQ that property management never responded to, so it was unusable for our stay. This is a nice spot and a lovely place to spend a long weekend with family and friends.
