Lots of stairs
It’s a beautiful place but lots of stairs my kids and elderly parents had trouble with climbing up and down the steps in the front of the house only way to access the house and also the steep stairs in the house home was pretty dirty and garbage is were completely full and falling out onto the ground, which the owner did take care of after I pointed it out but not sure it was cleaned before our arrival due to cobwebs and stains on the pillows that we had a good time I just wouldn’t recommend it for a little children or elderly unless you don’t mind the stairs

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.

June stay for a week
Overall very pleasant and comfortable stay with family members including 3 seniors. The layout of the house is good but you have to be able to navigate stairs. Excellent access to the beach and you can still enjoy the ocean air and views from the spacious deck or from the living room. The house is well-equipped. We liked that there were 3 bathrooms. A thumbs-up all around!

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!

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!

We had a lovely stay. The house was great. The only issue we had was that the picture from the back beach facing made it seem as though there was a ramp leading to the 4 stairs on the beach side. And, with everything accessible on the top floor seemed perfect for our elderly mom. So, we thought we would be able to push her wheelchair rt up to those steps. So, that was a bit misleading and was quite a challenge getting her in & out of the house everyday. We did manage, but it is not wheelchair/cart friendly at all. We should have asked, because that meant we had to carry all of our gear by hand & not use any helpful carry carts. But, it is a lovely house.

I love the beach, but now I love the dunes. This was one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever taken. The house was in a perfect location. I could see the ocean, i could hear the ocean and I knew I could get to the sand in a minute. The house is super cute. We try new places every year but I vote to come back here. The dunes have spoiled me. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Beautiful and Peaceful
House and property exactly as described. Beautiful and peaceful location. Partial view of the ocean at the back of the house. Could hear the ocean from the house nicely. The view of the farmland and mountains from the front of the house was unexpectedly stunning, pictures do not do it justice! The walk to the beach was less than 1 minute, I walked it barefoot several times. We went mid June and the beach was barely populated. The weather was calm in the morning and then the wind would pick up quite a bit by noon. One of the days we were there it was only mildly windy. The beach was beautiful and VERY clean. We played basketball at the community area one day. The community facilities were very nice. The equipment for the basketball, tennis courts, volleyball etc was kept in a small storage arena that wasn't well labeled, but we found it. At the house, there was a cabinet with many games by the phone, built into the counter area. There was corn hole equipment, but we couldn't find any of the sacks to throw. There was a somewhat odd smell in the closets and sometimes rooms. I would definitely come back to this house again with my family. My husband and I would also definitely return to Pajaro Dunes Community to a smaller house or condo with just the 2 of us.

This location was so healing. Watching whales in the evening and porpoises in the morning. All from rocking chairs on the back deck. A short, private path to a beautiful beach was absolutely incredible. The house is so perfect and we appreciate everything the owners had to offer in their communications. I very much look forward to planning another stay at this wonderful location.
