Family Weekend at the Beach

Perfect set up and location. Our group of 5 adults appreciated the open living area with great ocean view and easy access to the beach. The house has plenty of seating, beds are comfortable, and the deck is nice space to relax.

Lovely beach getaway!

We have stayed at Pajaro a few times in the smaller 1-2BR condos, but this time we were two families with 3 kids total. This was perfect for a slightly larger group and the easy access large porch(es), and views were amazing.

Spring break at the Beach House

It was our third visit to this property. It was perfection! The house is large enough to fit our group of six in comfort. The beds are soft. Every bedroom has a well equipped bathroom. The kitchen has all the tools you need to cook all of your meals. The kids rode bikes in the front. The teens played volleyball in the court. The beach was just steps away from the house. We had a GREAT time!

would stay again!

Our stay at Pajaro Dunes Resort was truly memorable. The beachfront location is absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Our rental home was spacious and well-appointed, comfortably accommodating our entire family. The floor plan, kitchen and decks made for a pleasant gathering space.

Awesome little beach house with room for everyone.

We took a family vacation to the beach and Monterey Bay Aquarium. The kids loved being so close to the beach and being able to see the ocean from the back patio. The outdoor shower was amazing after walking back and it’s warm water!

Beach Trip With Friends

Overall an awesome experience and a beautiful little house on the dunes! The railings on the stairs were wide enough for our kids to fit through so just a little heads up for parents with small children. Also, the bbq is charcoal so if you plan to grill, be sure to plan accordingly.

Peaceful with Beautiful Views

This place was great for my husband and me, our adult children and their significant others. The property was clean and in a nice area, and the kitchen had pretty much anything you would need to cook besides food. The short walk to the non crowded beach was great! We loved that it was away from the traffic of Monterey, however, because of the traffic, it did take us longer to get to destinations near and past Monterey.

Wonderful Beach House!

The view was wonderful in front of the house of the ocean and also from the back at the river and strawberry fields. The property owners were easy to work with . Just a short walk to feet in the sand most importantly.

Eye Opening stay for family members

The house was perfect for our first holiday all in the same house instead of separate hotel rooms, etc. The fact that there was a bathroom for each bedroom was a big plus. The house siting and location, although not directly on the beach with no houses in front of it, it as high enough to give a glimpse of the ocean. The sand dune surrounds and separation from the other houses was a big design plus for the house also. The long deck on the ocean view side provided great outdoor space to eat, hangout and photos also.Just about everything required, was provided. Very pleased and would recommend house to anyone.

Beautiful Views

We enjoyed our stay and this beach house. There was plenty of space for our family and we appreciated three separate bedrooms and bathrooms a lot. The views all the way around are beautiful. The weather was chilly and rainy so we appreciated being able to stay indoors and still see the ocean. The proximity to redwood forests/hiking as well as nearby towns was convenient. I would love to return some day!
