This trip was another amazing and enjoyable one at a beautiful property with outstanding views! Every summer we do a Mom/Son trip and this year we brought Gma also. There were a few kitchen supplies missing and not enough lids/large bowls but we made it work. Thankful for the opportunity to share a beautiful place.

Downloaded app to save check-in instructions. They are old and incorrect. Save the email you receive weeks before!Nicely remodeled and fantastic view from the living room. Great access to the beach. Furniture is newer and in great shape. Shorebirds 55 is a 2 bedroom, 2 king bed unit so it should be ideal for couples rather than families. Pots/pans, bowls, and linens were a step above frat house. Cheap aluminum cookware, worn out nonstick pans, mismatched bowls, only 3 placemats and one kitchen towel. Bathroom towels had to be at least 3 years old and frayed the full length. What a shame there isn’t attention to the details that would make the place as nice as the furniture, location and view.

Ok as home base but any activity (including restaurants) requires a long drive. Very remote. Highway 1 was a nightmare whenever we tried to go somewhere.

Pajaro Dunes celebration

The unit is in a great location, good view of the ocean ! Easy walk out to beach as long as you can handle a flight of stairs. Nice beach, not crowded. We enjoyed the location a lot. The beds and furniture are dated/older, pillows are not comfortable at all. The property needs some updating and kitchen utensils need to be replaced/ upgraded.

Back at the Dunes!

My mom had a condo at Pajaro for decades. We all-loved it so and enjoyed its unique vibe❤️. Have returned many times and always had a great relaxing get away. Thank you ! The condo was well outfitted and had everything we needed 😍. Yesterday we attended a lovely live music concert on the Pelican side. Fabulous!

Peaceful

Loved the view of the ocean as you walked in the door! Gray cloudy skies, but we were still able to take peaceful walks along the beach each day. Beautiful setting for my daughter and I to research our family history. When we came upon a roadblock in our research, we would stop and enjoy the view of the ocean or go take a walk together. Special memories made.

Beach stay

Pros: the location! Can’t get any closer to the beach. The beds were comfy. The kitchen was small but worked great for us. The cons: the sofa wasn’t very comfy. The master shower didn’t drain properly. We had wild weather….thunder, lightning and a tornado warning. Loved getting away with my husband and without the teens!

Relaxing

Pajaro Dunes has always been a special spot for us and once again it delivered. We had our grandchildren for two night and made wonderful memories shell hunting, fishing and just enjoying our time together. There is never a need to go to town. This unit is very nice and clean, the only down side is the living room furniture is basically outdoor furniture and not very comfortable. Kitchen needs lg bowls

Return visit to Pajaro Dunes

I have now stayed at Pajaro Dunes 3 times. As usual love the beach and the spaciousness of the unit for a 4 night stay. The only things this time is the property lighting around our Building (Bldg B) was inadequate, including the lighting of the sign for all building. Secondly using the path from the staircase to the edge of the dunes had 2 covered sand-covered steps, that could not be seen but caused one of us to twist their ankle.(maybe a warning sign could have alerted us.) Also, WiFi for the multiple blgs was out for 3 days. This made any services (Amazon Prime TV, Pandora, etc unusable. and this outage was not caused storms.

Shorebirds 55

I am being brutally honest But the ambiance is just not there. The electric heaters are rusted; the outdoor furniture doesn’t make it as a sofa and chair (uncomfortable); needs paint; and overall very outdated (bathrooms especially). Comforters are very ugly!!!! For a place as nice as Pajaro Dunes - this was a disappointment!

Comfortable beach stay with lovely view

My family and I enjoyed a few nights here in this comfortable little unit with a lovely ocean view. Noting a few things I didn't read in the listing that might be helpful to others: the furniture has been updated from previous reviews. The couch and armchair appear fairly new and were comfortable. The kitchen has coffee beans and a coffee grinder, but a minimum of cooking essentials: only salt and pepper and a few other spices. The proximity to the beach is incredible when traveling with kids and we enjoyed our stay!

Weekend get away

Our stay was nice. The place is lovely and spacious for the two of us. It has everything we needed as far as bathrooms stocked, bedroom & kitchen furnished. Livingroom had books to read and TV to watch. Although the place looks outdated and need some TLC it is still very quiet, peacdful and enjoyable. I loved hearing the ocean waves and looking out the window. However, i could not get comfortable on the couch, it definitely needs to be replaced, those cushions are not comfy at all. And i was very disappointed that the fireplace was not operational. That was the second thing i was looking forward to relaxing there with a fire lit watching the waves as the rain was coming down.

Shorebird 55

Thank you for a lovely stay at shorebird 55, the condo was perfect for our needs. The location is quiet and the beach is very nice, if your looking for a chill location. The Parjaro Dunes are so beautiful. The condo is set up with everything you might need for cooking & relaxing on the beach. I recommend buying food before. No shopping is available directly in the area. About a 20 minute drive to any shopping or restaurants.
