What a wonderful place to spend our 50th wedding anniversary - on the beach with our kids and grandkids! The house easily accommodated 6 adults and 4 children with a compact but well appointed kitchen, including a very large refrigerator freezer (which held 4 days of food for 10 people easily) and multiple coffee making options. The beach is easy to get to, just one house over for access and the house has beach toys, umbrellas, chairs and beach towels. The weather wasn't great during our visit, but the kids could come and go to the beach and they didn't care about the cold! The dining table was great for 10 people with meals together and for games and puzzles in between. The house seems to be in the process of upgrading and the pictures of furnishings and floorings are a bit different. The bathrooms! Wow! They have been recently redone with large showers and some of the most beautiful marble/stone I've ever seen! To the delight of the kids, who had never used one, all 4 bathrooms included bidets! (well, I must admit, we adults also kept...umm...clean too!). Uma was great to communicate with and recommended a Mexican food caterer in Watsonville, D'la Comena, which we had a feast from one night. I would highly recommend them. We had a delicious and beautiful princess cake from Gayles Bakery in Capitola for our anniversary that was also recommended by Uma. Great memories were made in this full family sized accommodation!

Pajaro Dunes needs a refresh!
Back in the 1970's, Pajaro Dunes was a popular destination for family vacations and corporate retreats. However, current appearances suggest that homeowners have not maintained their properties. We saw boardwalks overgrown with weeds, building exteriors in bad need of paint, and windows so dirty that residents couldn't enjoy the view. The interior of our particular rental was clean and well-equipped but needed new flooring (both carpeting and tile) and refreshed bathrooms. Maintaining and updating seaside homes is expensive, but VRBO renters are used to high-caliber properties. Ours did not meet that expectation.

A beautiful stay with seven female friends. The location of the house and the deck outside is outstanding. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out and the amenities in the kitchen were plenty full. Communication with the owner was timely and attentive. We highly recommend this property!

Dream Vacation
There were ten of us adults that were able to enjoy this beach front home in June. The view is amazing with grand windows to see the view for miles in every direction.
The downstairs bedrooms do not include a view but the master bedroom opens up into the Pacific Ocean.
The furnishings are cozy.
We attended a destination wedding on Pajaro Dunes with 150+ family members coming in from around the country. Many rented condos & houses on site-- our beach house was by far the best & envy of the entire family.

This the second time we've stayed at this home and once again we were very happy with the home. The location is unbeatable, sitting on the deck with the ocean just a few feet away is always a treat.

Beautiful views
A group of 8 women stayed at this house. I was disappointed as the home looked much more modern and clean on the site. The carpets are needing to be replaced as well as the tile. Dirty carpets and broken tiles on the floor. The walls seemed to be patched. We loved the spot, but hoping the home owner puts some money into the home to update it and make it worth what it cost.

Right on the ocean
The house was nice and clean and available even earlier then check-in time which was great! The views were amazing there was plenty of room and beds for our whole big family. I would note that there is no direct beach access from the house but there is a short path and about 25 stairs down to the water. I only mention this because we had some older family members that have trouble with the stairs. The kitchen had everything we needed except some bbq tools which we picked up at target and left for the next people. All in all it was a great place to stay and would definitely recommend.

Wonderful water and sunset views!
We are a three generation family and this property was perfect. We travel a lot, and have never stayed so directly waterfront. The beach is a wonderful walking and running beach, and great for just watching the ocean - we even saw dolphins and sea lions swimming in front of the house!
The house itself is very comfortable. The main floor is as the pictures show - lots of glass to watch the views. Also a large table to eat and play games at. One of the people in our party had a broken foot and this house was far better than others we saw for access - probably around ten steps total to enter the house and once in the house there are two bedrooms on the main floor, so very accessible, if that is a consideration for your party.
Lastly, the host is amazing. Very personable and fun to interact with. All questions are answered timely.
All seven people in our party agreed that this was the perfect house for us!

This spacious home looks right onto the beach and a very nearby access path took our family group for beach walks every day. There's plenty of room for various family activities in the house. The appliances are updated, like a cool toaster. Bedrooms have closets and dressers. Our family enjoyed this home and the beauty of peaceful surroundings and glowing sunsets.
