Kay's condo was cozy impeccably clean and nicely decorated with a lot of details to feel like a home away from home. The neighborhood was so peaceful and exactly what I needed to unwind. A little off the beaten track but nicely situated between Santa Cruz and Monterey/Carmel where I did a lot of exploring. Just a few steps to the beach for gorgeous sunsets. I enjoyed coffee on the patio in the morning.

We had such a wonderful stay at this beach condo in Pajaro Dunes! The condo was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The location couldn’t have been better—just steps from the beach, making it easy to enjoy peaceful morning walks, breathtaking sunsets, and the sound of the waves throughout our stay.The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and the entire space felt cozy yet spacious. We especially appreciated how quiet and relaxing the area was, making it the perfect place to unwind and recharge.The host was friendly, responsive, and made the entire process seamless from booking to check-out. We couldn’t have asked for a better beach getaway and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a peaceful coastal escape!

Our family had an amazing stay! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The condo is beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. The location couldn’t have been better—just steps from the beach, where we spent our days making unforgettable family memories.Our kids absolutely loved being here! Between playing on the beach, exploring the area, and ending the day in such a peaceful setting, it was the perfect family vacation. We especially appreciated escaping the summer heat inland and enjoying the cool ocean breeze.Kay was an incredible host. She was kind, responsive, and genuinely cared that we had a great experience. Any questions we had were answered quickly, which made our stay even more enjoyable.We loved everything about our time here and are already planning to come back next year—hopefully even sooner. Thank you, Kay, for opening your beautiful home to our family. We highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly beach getaway!
