Beautiful condo with views of both river and the ocean. Short walk to the quiet beach and enjoyed pickle and tennis courts. Condo wonderfully decorated and newly updated. 2 bedrooms comfortable to accommodate my family. Love the surrounding nature throughout the property. ##### Jolene D.

The home was so warm and inviting. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. The view is the best! The river to one side the ocean to the other. The wildlife below was an added bonus. Wonderful stay and we will be back! ##### Shauna P. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer H. 24 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely condo for a relaxing weekend away My two teenage boys and I have been under quite a bit of stress, work for me, college for my oldest, and high school for my younger son. They asked for a beach weekend. While we have stayed at Pajaro Dunes before, this was the first time in this unit and at the South end of the community. The unit was clean and well appointed. We had a lovely weekend away. ##### Jennifer H. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### trisha k. 29 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay at Pajaro Dunes My husband, 2 kids (13 and 11) and I had a wonderful stay at Pajaro Dunes last week. The exterior of the building and deck are a little weathered..but the inside unit and beautiful/peaceful views are great. The kitchen has nice appliances and all the necessary items you would be seeking. There are several coffee/tea making options (espresso machine, drip coffee, hot water warmer). The beds were comfortable and the master bathroom is very nice. The walk to the beach was very short and easy. We enjoyed several beautiful sunsets (including ones with dolphin sightings). My son enjoyed the basketball and tennis courts when we were not visiting nearby Monterey or Santa Cruz. The grounds are very nice for walking (on and off the beach). The check in process was so easy. I received all the necessary info via email. The office staff at the association was easily accessible for any questions. We appreciated that there wasn't an extensive list of things for us to do before check out. Two things the unit could use (or bring if you are driving) - beach chairs/blankets/towels. There were only two beach/pool towels in the unit and no options for beach chairs/blankets. We flew to Cali so bringing these items was not an option. We were told we could borrow chairs from the office, but when I contacted them - they were all loaned out. Overall, we had a wonderful stay in this unit. I highly recommend a stay here if you are looking for a comfortable, relaxing location on the CA coast! ##### trisha k. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara C. 21 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Really lovely, quiet, right in the beach. Area in a fog belt so cool even in summer.Totally renovated. Nice balcony.Kitchen stocked amazingly well. I forgot sugar for coffee and they had it!Only thing I might say is that it is not 100% accessible if mobility impaired. Has a few steps to get in, and bed and shower entry are high. Would stay again. ##### Sara C.
