Perfect Location, Neglected Condo

We had a wonderful time! The photos of the views from the balcony/deck do not do this property justice. The location was sensational. The condo definitely served its purpose. It was perfect for what we needed. The only disappointing part was the neglect that the condo clearly has suffered. I was not shocked to see that it was listed for sale. The broken blinds, paint patches, filthy sliding door (perhaps from water damage?), and other items throughout the condo that needed a little TLC gave the impression that this property is not as loved and cared for as it should be. If this place wasn’t being sold, we would absolutely stay here again; the location was that ideal. It just had so many little things going on that I found myself taking pictures so I could document and timestamp all the neglected elements.
Exquisite view.

My sister and I stayed her with our kids together and had a wonderful visit. The kids loved the great access to the ocean and the view from the living room was so picturesque. There were plenty of supplies for cooking and the kids had fun using the games provided as well.

Perfect for a family!

We had a wonderful stay at this location! There were 6 adults and 2 children, and I felt like we had plenty of space when we were inside. However, this place is steps from the beach where we spent most of our time. We loved how quite it was at the property and the beach wasn’t crowded at all. We will definitely be booking again!

Great place, missing some details

Overall this was a beautiful property in a really nice location. Beach access was fantastic. However the details of the property were lacking. The mattress was really broken down in the master, and the kitchen appliances did not work very well. The kitchen only had two really crappy pans so it was a little tough to cook a meal. But overall we really enjoyed our stay and would go back again!

A few repairs needed.

The location was superb and the kitchen well-stocked, but a few things need fixing. Garbage disposal making terrible noise, so did not use. Only 4 glasses!! Toaster oven really ancient so making toast takes awhile. Hall bathroom the toilet paper roll container is not well secured to wall. A lot of mold in the shower. Back bedroom painting not complete behind bed and it would have been nice to have a chest of drawers. One slat on the blinds in the living room is broken. Fix all those things and we would have given it 5 stars. Oh- and when we arrived we could not get in and our contact person was not available. Happily the person at the front gate had received a message.

Should have told us about no BBQ

Everything was great, but the owner was removing the bbq the day of our arrival. That would not have been a big deal if they would’ve had the common courtesy to call us a couple days ahead of time, or text me or email me, to tell me that there was not going to be a barbecue so we could plan and shop accordingly. Even the day of our arrival would’ve been great because the morning before we left I went to our local butcher shop and purchased three high-end quality steaks to grill. They were $50 each, plus the time I spent going to the meat market which I would not have done if they would’ve let me know. The owner was very unapologetic and said sorry I know it was on the listing but oh well, we don’t want the place to burn down. If I was the owner I would’ve said you know what I’m sorry can I takeoff 30 bucks so you guys can buy yourself a pizza? I would not have accepted, but still would’ve been a nice gesture. We ended up ordering takeout pizza and saving the steaks till we got home. Everything else about our stay was wonderful. It was just not a good way to start off the trip, I recommend better communication and consideration of your future renters meal planning..

Cozy…ocean, beach and dunes views!

This place was exactly what we were looking for. It’s on the 2nd floor so it has an amazing view. Ground floors are convenient but at the dunes when you are looking for a view a 2nd level unit is best. It is also a skip hop and a jump away from the private beach. When booking anything specially during covid you never know what you might get however, this place was great. It was clean, cozy and comfortable. It was nice to call it home for a few days and I can’t wait to book it again. It has become my favorite unit in Pajaro Dunes. I’ve only been there a total of 3 times but this unit exceeded my expectations. Kathy was our host she was super responsive and accommodating. Thank you for wonderful stay we will be back!
