It was a 3 minute walk to the beach which is amazing. The house itself was wonderful and had amazing views. The neighbors and staff were very nice as well, which made the environment more welcoming. It was nice knowing that there are carts to haul your stuff to your place or car because the uphill climb is a bit tougher if you have to make multiple trips to your car. They also have pickleball, basketball, and tennis courts. I loved that they had a storage for the recreational area where you can borrow equipment. They also had a ping pong table which we loved. overall, I would definitely come back!

Beach condo located right by the beach. The owners provided all the kitchen and beach essentials we…read moremay need. The kitchen had a glass top cooking range, oven & microwave, every type of cooking ware. They also had extra storage that had things that maybe useful for the beach such as boogie boards, beach chairs. The only thing that the condo did not have was central air. We opened our sliding door and windows to let the air flow through.

Review of shorebird 55 (Let me begin by saying that this review was submitted to At the Dunes…read morerental agency but never posted on their site.) Pros: *excellent beach access * lovely ocean view Cons: *furniture, towels, sheets in generally rundown condition *master bedroom has 1 bedside table and 1 lamp. I ended bringing in a small corroded outdoor iron table and moving a lamp from the second bedroom. * one floor lamp in the entire living room. Generally poor lighting. *Peeling paint in bathroom *mold in bathroom corners *uncomfortable living room furniture-outdoor wicker, way past it's comfort usage. No support. *unwashed sheets in second bedroom, unwashed towel in master bath. ( the rental agency was very responsive about this) In this time of Covid, these discoveries made our stay uncomfortable. Was this place really sanitized before our arrival? My point here is that a rental at the beach, for $400+/ night, should be comfortable in all aspects. This was not. For a total of $1800 for four nights, I would have expected much more.

Been coming here for quick getaways for more than twenty years. My parents became condo owners here…read moreperhaps a decade ago, and so I've seen how the rentals work from both sides - as a guest and as a owner. I won't talk about their rental since that seems too obvious a conflict of interest, but I would like to say that Pajaro Dunes is a very nice place to stay and recharge. Only about an hour's drive from San Jose, you can be away from the hustle and bustle in a matter of minutes. Parking is plentiful. They have carts you can use to haul your gear up to the residences. The dunes around the buildings are always kept up well and attractive. All of the rentals are just steps away from the beach and I believe all have balconies where you can lounge from the comfort of your place if you choose. Each rental offers different amenities; personally, I'd go for one with a jacuzzi, but that's just me! There's no need to venture anywhere when you're here (assuming you brought your food with you)... but Monterey is a short drive away and of course nice to explore. A great place to unwind! Love Pajaro Dunes!

(So much more reasonable than other sites.) (before you pay the heavy prices at AirBNB or VRBO -reach out to Stacey at BestofDunes.com.) Walking into 59 Avocet could not be anything less than amazing! This place is incredible! Decorated with such care for the comfort of guests. I couldn't decide where to sit and watch the ocean - because not only is there Several seating areas - but each more comfortable than the next (my bad back was in heaven. ) Oceanview? Wow- just about anywhere you are in this house ! The giant floor to ceiling windows and open floor plan makes the views that much more Incredible. All I could say is - the photos don't do it justice. The deck with several tables, chairs and lounges had us out there Whale watching for hours. There's even a patio downstairs off One of the master bedrooms (yep there is 2 Master Suites (with Giant tubs!) If you want to get away for some chill time - THIS place is beyond Perfect - there was only two of us (myself and my Pool shark husband) yep - they have a pool table and a ping pong topper but 5+ couples could comfortably stay here (even more!) Perfect place for kiddies to play in a separate playroom, with a giant TV and a bazillion DVD's if that's your thing. I stopped counting how many TV's...and um 2 Kitchens? Yep, fully stocked with anything you want and too many type of coffee makers to mention (if you want to make a cake from scratch...even a mixer!) The only thing that stopped me from some moments of chill time was adventuring around this home, I kept finding more rooms and more special touches for guests! Tubs? Say Ahhhhh - cause there's actually 3 in this home! The stairs to get onto the beach are only steps away...but honestly - sitting out on the deck (or inside on one of the bazillion couches) ...well you just can't beat that. Yes, yes, you can rent this and other vacation homes at Pajaro Dunes from other sites, but I'm all about saving money and I love the secure feeling of a more personal touch when I rent vacation locations- BestofDunes.com gave me everything I needed (and more) for 3 days I will long remember. When I dream of winning the lottery, 'This' is the house I dream of buying the day after I cash my ticket in So future renters better be quick before it's mine ;) Until then -Definitely go to BestofDunes.com to rent at Pajaro Dunes if location and service is on top of your list! Thank you so much Stacey for making our stay special in this magical home possible-You Rock!! We Will be back!

Since my mom has passed, we have decided to pass on the tradition and come here with our own little family. We came for three nights for our son's 5th birthday trip and we had an amazing time. We had a spacious cabin (#13) with everything we needed and the beds were very comfy. The ONLY small issue we'd address is that the oven in our place was maybe a bit outdated and I only bring this up because when we used just the oven, the entire stove/unit became so hot to touch that you have to wear a mitt to open it as the door handle, dials, everything become very hot. Other than that, everything was PERFECT and we absolutely love our stay here! It is so quiet and peaceful, everyone is very friendly, and there's so much room to play/relax and enjoy yourself. Also right across from the beach and Asilomar conference grounds. I also want to give a BIG shout out to the girl who works the front desk, and her adorable Pomeranian, O'rion! They were seriously one of the best parts of staying here. Couldn't have been a cooler person to talk to, so down to earth and welcoming, very informative, and we hope to see them again when we return! Kevin, Linda, Kirsten and the seriously adorable Sybil, were all so kind and warm and we hope to visit again soon! :) Video is of our very spacious back patio that went out into the large lawn area.
