The minute we walked in, our 10 year old said it best, “Wow! Wow! Wow!” From the entryway, you see an impressive view of the beach below. This condo is perfect for families. The laundry, full kitchen to cook, back deck with bbq, games to play, kids dvd movies, and private master bedroom made it feel like home. We even lined the banister outside with seashells collected each day. Private beach for families! Free access to boogie boards! This was a peaceful respite.

Wonderful quick getaway. The beach is wide and flat and a walk can be hours or minutes. When not on the beach it's a pleasure to look at it from a front row seat in the condo.

Beautiful and close to beach

This was our first time staying in this condo. It was well stocked, clean, and comfortable. The beach was steps away, and the view was beautiful. The master bed was probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I usually have a stiff back in the morning, but I didn’t at all.

Ocean view exclusive - a Gem

We entered the 3rd floor condo to be overwhelmed by the large picture window view of the Pacific. It is like sitting in a large screen theater and watching the waves meet the beach. Wow factor. Condo is quite comfortable and easy access - steps to the beach. Comfortable sitting and kitchen is nicely stocked with necessities. Great condo for couples and families. Pajaro Dunes too is easy access to Watsonville and Monterey Bay activities.

View was 1million. Condo was nice. However it needs a deep clean, dry rot around a couple doors and windows, bbq had no propane ( we planned on bbqing dinner one night and had to punt that idea), Pajaro is getting a little run down. Hand rails and steps are in need of repair / replacement. It a very quite and peaceful place to vacation. We’ll be back, not sure if I’ll stay at that unit.

We have a BBQ but we do not supply the propane. We have some at our Gift Shop for purchase. We have our listing and our confirmations share this when planning your trip. We'll share your notes with the HOA about the hand rails and with our teams to improve these things!
