Friends and family weekend
We had a lovely weekend stay. My teen girls and their friends loved the access to the beach and pickle ball paddles and courts! I loved the miles and miles of beach access for long walks. Sunset was gorgeous both nights we were there. The place is super cute and host very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall good stay
This 3 bedroom unit is roomy and nicely decorated with a great location. We loved the large sectional, coffee bar, and ease of checking in! There could be some improvements for comfort. First off, there is no door on the bathroom in the master. This makes for an awkward stay and constantly having to shut and lock the bedroom door when using the bathroom. The shower in the main living area needs a replacement handle as it fell off the first day we were there and we had trouble getting the shower to properly turn on. The bed in the master is VERY soft and warn. The left side dips pretty bad. We ended up sleeping backwards with our heads at the bottom to help with the dips. For the price and location this place is great, just a few things that could be upgraded.

Another great stay at Pajaro Dunes
We have stayed at Whitneys place a couple times now. It is always very clean, well appointed and has a great layout and comfortable furniture. It is an easy short walk to the beach. Wi-fi is strong also. We have stayed at Pajaro many, many times but we love this spot. The owners are always receptive and are genuinely nice people. Thanks again guys.

Relief from the heat
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. It had everything we needed and more. We loved playing games and doing puzzles together. The kids enjoyed all the books, especially learning about Humphrey, the Humpback Whale. Beach days were wonderful and the trip to Santa Cruz Boardwalk was the high light! I'm already looking at dates for next year. Again, thank you...Susan

Amazing stay
This property is so great! The location couldn’t be better- you just walk right out to the beach. The actual condo is so nice inside. The decor is perfect beach theme and is so tranquil and relaxing. The beds are comfortable and you can tell the owners take so much pride in their home away from home, because that’s truly what it is- their home. Everything inside is nice and everything you could need or want is there. You can tell the difference between other vacation rentals with cheap finishes and cheap scratched pots and pans and hard lumpy beds and this rental, which has nice finishes and nice pots and pans, comfortable beds, soft towels and everything you would want. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing oasis with us!

Great stay at Shorebirds
Took my wife, children and parents to Shorebirds. Whitneys place is a gem. It is roomy, comfy and truly well appointed. Great wifi which my kids adored, of course! The unit is very clean and located on the first level with easy beach access. Parking is just steps away from the unit also. Two huge TV’s are in the unit with a wide array of streaming options. The family room has a great lounging area and is very conducive to hanging out with friends and family. Whitney is very responsive and a great host. Thanks again Whitney and Rob.
