From the moment we checked in we loved this location! Front office was very friendly and helpful. They have so many activities to check out to keep the kids entertained with. The unit itself was VERY clean and well stocked. We were able to eat dinner at “home” as a family if 6 with plenty utensils. Door dash was also delivered when we had late night cravings. The beach was beautiful and for an extra cost you could pay to have a beach bonfire set up for you! Location was safe we would absolutely stay here again.

It was a very nice place, very clean, and everyone in the office was very helpful when we had a question. We did not use the kitchen facilities. The grounds were very beautiful. The only problem we had was when we checked out early one morning at the gatehouse, we were told through the speaker that he would open the gate for us to drop off our key; however, the gate never opened, so we put the keys under the mat at the front door.

Short list

Lacked shampoo, conditioner, lotion. Had plenty of linens. BBQ broken. Patio screen didn’t slide well. Second bedroom was too small for the two beds, resulting in tripping hazard, especially at night. Mattress was too hard. Shower access was a little difficult. Humm, that’s about all.

Hello Jim, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear that your stay wasn’t perfect. We appreciate your comments about the broken BBQ, patio screen, second bedroom size, mattress firmness, and shower access. We have maintenance and housekeeping on site if you ever need any assistance. We would have loved to assist you with perhaps getting a loaner BBQ and having our maintenance take a look at the sliding patio. We don't provide any shampoo, conditioner or personal use items. We are sorry this was not made clear to you and will work on better relaying this information in the future. We’ll make sure to address these issues so that future guests have a better experience. We hope you’ll give us another chance in the future. Best Regards, Pajaro Dunes Team

Dunes Holiday

We have stayed in PD many times. This location had easy access from the parking lot; it is on first floor, so we had a view of the dunes - no ocean view at all. Other times staying on the 1st floor there is a limited ocean view. The furniture, overall, was comfortable. The greatest disappointment was due to Mother Nature - the week before we arrived the beach access in our building and neighboring ones had created steep cliffs making it inaccessible to go down to the beach as we have other times. We ended up driving to Pacific Grove one day in order to see the ocean. We learned that it is the State's responsibility to level the beach out. Hopefully, it will be done soon for other visitors. We did have very bad WIFI/Phone coverage. A maintenance person attempted to assist us, but it was very frustrating that we had to walk to the car to see messages from family or to make a call. Not sure if that is a fixable item. Getting a daily newspaper from the office was a treat and the cookies at check-in were delicious! Thank you

Hi there Virginia, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review with so much great feedback. We definitely appreciate all of the feedback we can get from all of our guests as were always looking for ways to improve any services that we provide and can improve. We are sorry to hear that the weather conditions imposed with your plans a bit. As for ocean views in the first level condos is almost impossible a few condos do have a very slight view of the ocean sometimes depending on the height of the dunes that obstruct the ocean view, if you ever wanted to reach out directly we'd love to help you find the perfect home for your next getaway! Nevertheless we do hope to see you and your family again soon! Warmly, Pajaro Dunes Resort

An Enchanting Oasis at Pajaro Dunes Resort! 🌊🌿

This is our second trip to the charming Pajaro Dunes Resort and I can confirm it remains as enchanting as our first visit. The rustic condos exude an irresistible charm, cozy and well-appointed, nestled amidst a backdrop of awe-inspiring natural landscapes. The views alone are worth the visit! The resort staff are simply top-notch. They're friendly, professional, and always on hand to assist with any questions or requests you may have. They truly elevate the Pajaro Dunes experience, making you feel cared for from the moment you arrive. One of the most notable aspects of Pajaro Dunes is the serenity of the beach. No overcrowding, just unspoiled sands for you to savor. It's a breath of fresh air, both figuratively and literally. Plus, the respect that guests and staff alike show for the protected wildlife areas surrounding the property speaks volumes about the ethos of this special resort. A fun tip - don't forget to drop by the gift shop! It's not just a spot to pick up any forgotten necessities, but they also offer delightful free cookies (a treat we certainly relished). It's these little touches that make Pajaro Dunes stand out from the crowd. Pajaro Dunes Resort is truly a magical place that is simply one of a kind. Whether you're a return visitor, like us, or considering your first stay, prepare to be charmed by its tranquility, comfort, and beauty. We're already planning our third visit!
