Our large family group enjoyed the setup of the house. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets on the beach. We enjoyed the outside activities of volleyball, walks on the beach and outside seating and grill. The house needs to update the kitchen appliances and mattresses (very hard).

Great place for a group

This property is a great setup for a group of unrelated folks. There are 4 bedroom with 2 twins beds each. I think it was advertised with one other bedroom with 2 twins; in fact the last 2 bedrooms had 1 queen bed each. Our group had one couple and 10 unrelated folks; fortunately, one person had to drop out, so we were good. The location and the house itself were great!!

Grandparents, grown kids and grandkids; ages 81 to 12. Second time staying in house 81, enough beds for 12 people and 4 bathrooms. A little rustic, beds not comfortable, We bring foam pads. Kitchen is nice, Lots of space and tables for dining and game table. Our family loves getting together one week in the summer at the ocean, perfect location.

family reunion

Thank you for your hospitality. We enjoy this home every time we visit and plan to return again next year. We also enjoy all the beach toys you have on hand but... We just arrived home, unpacked and found someone in our party accidentally loaded your 2 boogie boards with our toys. I will call the office to reimburse you and hope this does not adversely affect the next guest. Blessings, Darlene

Not for reunion

House was okay, but all their rules kept us from gathering, having singalongs not willing to let us gather even on the grass or at any of the houses we rented. We spent a lot of money there but we won’t do it again.

Great place but needs better maintenance

The faucets need fixing or replacing. Some items were dirty. No paper towels, and trash bins dirty. Beds very uncomfortable. Location is great, process was easy.

A great getaway for a large group.

We came here for a surprise girls weekend 60 th birthday party. Although we had lots of f rain for our one day here, we made our fun inside. The many beds and bathrooms made it possible for our group of 9 ladies . Thank you for your hospitality.

Family Spring break

The family enjoyed their visit to Pajaro Dunes. House was comfortable but a bit dated. Multi story so heat rises. The loft bedrooms were warm. A screen on the loft bedroom sliders would have been helpful. We enjoyed the BBQ and hot tub. It has great access to the beach. Kids had a great time flying kites.

Nice home in good location but needs updates

We all had a good time at the house, it was comfortable and good size for the whole family. Really should be considered 4 bedrooms and 2 non private sleeping areas versus 6 bedrooms. Management does not appear to pay much attention to upkeep on the property. as others have reviewed, the kitchen and some damaged furniture need repair. Hot tub appears to not serviced often and did not function. properly. Had to call management twice and still no repair or feedback

They were still cleaning our unit 30 minutes after check in time. Not a good start. A king size bed would be an upgrade especially given the cost.

Beautiful location

The location and house were perfect for our family and another family. We had plenty of space and loved being so close to the beach. We also enjoyed the activities nearby (tennis/pickle ball, basketball courts). The only downside was the bbq. It didn't get hot enough to cook our meat, and had to use the oven and stove instead every night. Most appliances need a little care. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

Nice location. Feels safe.

The house we stayed is was nice. It was large and accommodated our family well It's clearly used just as a rental. There were some minor things that they could improve on. Most of the windows did not have screens. None of the sliders had screens. I am allergic to mosquitoes and was bitten several times. That is the only reason I mention this. The only other issue was the knob on the dryer was broken so we could not use it. I reported that to the management company and I am sure they will fix it. The house was clean and well stocked with towels and bedding. The 3rd floor tower and deck gives amazing views! The location felt VERY safe and it was so peaceful. All in all, I would stay there again.

Laid back beach house for a large family vacation. Hot tub to warm up in after a day at the beach was a plus. Open central floor plan allowed for fun evenings hanging out together.

Interesting House

Nice house; odd layout. Appliances need work--stove (1burner doesn't work), oven (front of upper oven is missing and the oven itself doesn't work), laundry, and dishwasher (bottom rack is missing wheels making it hard to fill and empty).
