Our Vacay in Paradise

This was our 5th time to stay here and it never disappoints! There’s so much to do because it’s located right between Santa Cruz and Monterey, 30 mins either direction. But if you just want to stay put and relax, you have a beautiful ocean view and are literally steps away from the beach.This time we brought our 4.5 and 2.5 year old grandkids and made 4 days of beautiful memories!Thank you for sharing your condo Deborah and David!!!

Cozy, comfy & captivating

Truly a magical place by the sea. Excellent hosts with all the accommodations for a home-away-from-home stay. The proximity to the beach and the ocean views are everything we had hoped for. My husband, in particular, enjoyed watching the plentiful hummingbirds. He even got online and purchased the same birdfeeder hoping for the same experience at home! The unit is well stocked. We cooked multiple meals and appreciated the abundance of spices and well stocked dishes and cookware. The bed in the master is a dream. Never have I slept so well away from my own. We immensely enjoyed the more private location. Being halfway between Santa Cruz and Monterey was central to making the most of our time and seeing all the area attractions on our list. Definitely on our list for a 2nd stay.

NorCal coastal retreat

We had a beautiful vacation in the center of the Monterey Bay Coast. Pajaro Dunes is tranquil and gorgeous, especially if you love shorebirds. This condo was extremely well equipped, so we cooked all our meals at home except for some day trips to Monterey and Santa Cruz. Lovely walks at sunset. We will definitely be back.

We completely enjoyed our stay in this "magical" condo! Everything is beautifully furnished, decorated, and with all the amenities of a fine home. The ocean views are stunning and we loved listening to the sounds of the ocean. The beach, right out the door, is perfect for a nice long walk. We hope to return sometime soon!!

Five days of bliss

This was our second stay at Pajaro Dunes and won’t be our last. We could not have asked for better accommodations from this property or hosts. The views were fabulous, the bed more comfortable than home, and the whole experience so peaceful. I didn’t want to leave!

Perfect retreat

I was overjoyed from the moment I came through the door. The place is mere feet from the crashing surf. Every night I watched the gorgeous sunset right from my balcony. The kitchen is well-stocked, the place is quiet, and the bed is super comfy. My favorite activity was to go for long jogs on the beach straight from my door. In short, it was perfect and I hope to come back some day.

Another amazing stay at the ‘Magical Place by the Sea"!

Another amazing stay at the ‘Magical Place by the Sea’. Everything is perfect. Debbie is a wonderful host. The unit has all you need for an enjoyable stay. If you like to cook (as we do) the kitchen is stocked very well with needed equipment, utensils, etc. Very clean! A view like no other. Bed is super comfy! Great walk in shower. It’s always such a relaxing get away, the ocean, air, breeze and sound of the waves. We were treated to an amazing show of wildlife, thousands of birds, lots of seals, dolphins and even a whale! I think it was due to anchovies from what we read. It was chaotic but in a good way! Can’t wait to come back hopefully sooner than later! 😊🌻
