Great price.... poorly stocked
This property was substantially less than others in the development. Fortunately, I read reviews and knew to bring everything. There are only a few hangers, which we did not bring, so that was an issue. Only a few drinking glasses, but plenty of mugs so that was fine. The internet was a huge issue, but management was very responsive and sent their guy quickly several times each day. The weak connection is not their fault, but it was a royal pain. Check to make sure it was fixed before booking. We got a free night compliments of the staff, so it was totally worth it. Again, worth it for the money.

Pajaro happy
Views from front room and deck are amazing. Deck could use small table for drinks. Could not get bedroom tv to work. Overall it could use a bit of TLC". Sunsets and walks on the beaches. Give us more of those sunsets!!!

Great View but kitchen needs help
The view is wonderful. The kitchen does not have enough wine glasses, silverware or large cooking pots. The kitchen also has terrible lighting and is really, really old, it is all original. The sink has a big chip in it. We had trouble adjusting the water in both showers too. There were plenty of towels. The balcony is bigger than it looks. The home has two new couches that were nice. We had a lovely time.

Location and that's all
What people have to understand about the condos at Pajaro Dunes is that it is all about the location. We have been going to Pajaro Dunes for over 30 years. We love the location. I know that most condos for the price are mediocre. Some are great. Some are not so great. This one is not so great. The couches are practically useless. We pulled dining chairs into the living room for more comfortable seating. A response to a previous review said that the couches were updated, but the photo had not been updated. As of this writing they were the same couches as in the photo. With stuffing coming out of the backs. The master bed was comfortable but not the others. The master shower door is quite short. The kitchen was poorly provisioned -- as are most condos at Pajaro Dunes. If I were the owner of this condo I would be embarrassed. We were beggars and couldn't be choosey because we made this trip as a last minute getaway. We had low expectations. We wanted the location, and we got that. Don't expect more than great location and you won't be disappointed

We have stayed at this property before. We were hoping things would've been updated but they weren't. To be specific,the door lock needs replaced, the second bedroom beds aren't comfortable, the television in the main bedroom is a tiny old television with a VCR built in. The living room furniture is not comfortable at all. I could go on but I think you get the picture. We love the resort and we loved the view but this place needs some serious updates. If this unit is brought up to date I would highly recommend it.

Great location and view but condo was dated
Location and view was amazing but the condo was dated and not cozy. The couches were so uncomfortable. There were no real wine glasses. They we set up for VHS. This place could use a major upgrade. View amazing but we won’t be staying here again.
