Pajaro Dunes, Watsonville CA
The condo was exactly as stated in the listing and the owner was very prompt with all communication. The location was great, it was a short walk to the beach where you could walk north into Sunset State Beach . The resort is gated with friendly. Easy drive to Monterey about 35-40 miles. It fit all our needs and we would stay again.

Great location but needs an update
Upon walking in, both my husband and I were struck with the stale odor of the place. It was clear from the listing pictures that the furnishings were dated, but the whole unit is in need of significant renovation and decluttering. We found the odor so offensive that we were not able to stay there that evening for fear that our family would become sick and not able to enjoy the rest of our trip. I reached out to the Host that evening and did not hear back until I requested VRBO's assistance. To the host's credit, he did refund 1/2 of our stay.

Good Stay
The beach was beautiful. The condo is nicely decorated and furnished; and was clean. The TV and internet was easy to use; and there is a fan for white noise or cooling. Due to the large window glass catching a lot of sun, the afternoons could get a little warm, but cooled as the sun started to drop. If I lived there, I would have an extra floor fan or replace the dining room light with a fan, which would change air flow dynamic significantly (I like to keep rooms cooler than most folks). This is a downstairs unit which my wife liked due to no stairs. The upper units have stairs but have more ocean and beach visibility, although the ocean (not beach) is visible from this unit. Good stay.

Clean, comfortable condo on the beach
This condo was immaculately clean, even the windows! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. Everything was just as listed on VRBO. We had some problems initially entering the condo with the new door code and lock, but someone promptly helped us resolve the problem.

Lovely Stay
This condo built in the early 1970s had what many lack: two bedrooms, two baths, and a king-size bed. The master bedroom had nice bedding and a comfortable bed. There were many dishes and spices in the kitchen, a huge selection of books, and an abundance of bath towels. The unit has been upgraded as best as could be, and was very comfortable. It was very quiet but it might have been the time of the year that we visited. The sand dunes are right by the unit, and you can see the ocean. The only down side was that cell service was sketchy. This area is isolated from the major cities of Monterey, Carmel, and Santa Cruz (about 30 minutes). If you have to all 911 (as we did), the fire department was there within 7 minutes.

We always enjoy our time in this place and this unit in particular. We enjoy the patio on the sand, the kids love the soft carpet and take a warm bath each night. The owner is responsive and flexible to make our stay terrific every time. We will be back.

Winner for Shorebirds condos
We’ve stayed at 3 different units now at the Shorebirds and this is one of the best. Had everything you could need. Just show up with clothes and groceries. Cutlery/utensils were great, which we’ve found lacking at other units. Plenty of extra blankets, pillows, towels. Even had olive oil and plenty of seasonings. Never had an issue with any appliances, bathrooms, etc. you can really tell which owners care about the comfort of their guests and which ones just rent for the money. This place is a winner.

Beach Time
The owner of this condo is wonderful. He made the process so easy. It’s a very nice condo although a little worn. It was disappointing not to have use of the fireplace but was advised it is being updated. The view of the ocean is a bit far but the beach is a short walk. It is on the ground floor which gives easy access. We didn’t want to leave it was so fun and relaxing.

Cute beach condo
What really attracted us to this listing was the outside patio. Beautiful views from it and a quick walk to the beach. The condo reminded me of some of the beach houses from long Beach Island, NJ. Not too fancy but just comfy enough to feel at home. Plenty of extra blankets and pillows. I will say we did get confused pulling up to the gate, you have to go the side that says guests and talk with the gate guy. The man who greeted us was extremely nice and told us about some local spots. The key was a little hard to use as well because of the salty air, just have to be extra careful. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back.
