Great location but needs an update
Upon walking in, both my husband and I were struck with the stale odor of the place. It was clear from the listing pictures that the furnishings were dated, but the whole unit is in need of significant renovation and decluttering. We found the odor so offensive that we were not able to stay there that evening for fear that our family would become sick and not able to enjoy the rest of our trip. I reached out to the Host that evening and did not hear back until I requested VRBO's assistance. To the host's credit, he did refund 1/2 of our stay.

Superb Location
Steps from an amazing stretch of coastline, sunrises sunsets. Unit accommodated our family of four adults comfortably. Gas fireplace in living area provided a cozy space for cool evening and early morning gatherings. Would return.

Good Stay
The beach was beautiful. The condo is nicely decorated and furnished; and was clean. The TV and internet was easy to use; and there is a fan for white noise or cooling. Due to the large window glass catching a lot of sun, the afternoons could get a little warm, but cooled as the sun started to drop. If I lived there, I would have an extra floor fan or replace the dining room light with a fan, which would change air flow dynamic significantly (I like to keep rooms cooler than most folks). This is a downstairs unit which my wife liked due to no stairs. The upper units have stairs but have more ocean and beach visibility, although the ocean (not beach) is visible from this unit. Good stay.

Clean, comfortable condo on the beach
This condo was immaculately clean, even the windows! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. Everything was just as listed on VRBO. We had some problems initially entering the condo with the new door code and lock, but someone promptly helped us resolve the problem.

Lovely Stay
This condo built in the early 1970s had what many lack: two bedrooms, two baths, and a king-size bed. The master bedroom had nice bedding and a comfortable bed. There were many dishes and spices in the kitchen, a huge selection of books, and an abundance of bath towels. The unit has been upgraded as best as could be, and was very comfortable. It was very quiet but it might have been the time of the year that we visited. The sand dunes are right by the unit, and you can see the ocean. The only down side was that cell service was sketchy. This area is isolated from the major cities of Monterey, Carmel, and Santa Cruz (about 30 minutes). If you have to all 911 (as we did), the fire department was there within 7 minutes.

A favorite place
We always enjoy our time in this place and this unit in particular. We enjoy the patio on the sand, the kids love the soft carpet and take a warm bath each night. The owner is responsive and flexible to make our stay terrific every time. We will be back.

Winner for Shorebirds condos
We’ve stayed at 3 different units now at the Shorebirds and this is one of the best. Had everything you could need. Just show up with clothes and groceries. Cutlery/utensils were great, which we’ve found lacking at other units. Plenty of extra blankets, pillows, towels. Even had olive oil and plenty of seasonings. Never had an issue with any appliances, bathrooms, etc. you can really tell which owners care about the comfort of their guests and which ones just rent for the money. This place is a winner.
