"The online photos of this property do it justice. I (grandma) badly needed an "ocean fix." Due to a disability I cannot walk on the beach. Four days of breathing ocean air and taking in the views made me whole again. My (teen) granddaughters spent hours on the beach. As a family we visited the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, the Monterey Aquarium and Capitola on the three full days we had in the condo. The accommodations were lovely. We mostly cooked and ate at home. We had an amazing time and will be...

"Beautiful views of the ocean throughout the home. I enjoyed the endless walks on the beach and drifting off to the pounding of the waves. The home was well equipped with anything you needed for a peaceful beach escape. The children enjoyed fun in the sand and investigating all sorts of items the tide left behind. My only suggestion would be to bring a baby gate for the stairwell if traveling with toddlers under age 5. We were able to block access by moving the couch. This vacation home...

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, 187 reviews
"Pajaro Dunes is about an hour away from San Jose and that makes it an ideal destination for a weekend getaway. Really loved this condo. The description was apt and the communication was clear and simple. We loved everything about the house. Everything was clean and tidy. Since the house is at the corner of the property it gave a much beter private space than other units. There’s no view of the ocean but that doesn’t take away anything. Loved seeing the sunset from the patio. Hopefully I can come...

Hear the ocean from this historic cottage. Almost beachfront.
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, 211 reviews
"We three adults stayed here for 2 nights. It was charming and in a good location. Having the bathroom attached to the bedroom was ok for us but not great. The sofa bed in the living room was broken. I managed ok on it but a large person and certainly 2 would not. It's a sweet place for up to 3-4 people if they share a bed--definitely cozy--(great shower!)"
