Epic 180° Ocean Views: Monterey to Santa Cruz + Stunning Mural Interior

Epic 180° Ocean Views: Monterey to Santa Cruz + Stunning Mural Interior

10/10 Excellent
"Anna's rental was exactly as described. The unit was very clean and had all the amenities we required. our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 teenagers) were very comfortable. We arrived earlier than expected and Anna was kind enough to let us check in a little early. Our favorite part of our stay was the close proximity to the beach, the amazing views, and falling asleep to the ocean waves each night. We would definitely book this rental again!"

"our stay was a 10/10. The host was so kind, had great communication & had a beautiful renovated condo. It was modern but still very cozy with amazing views of the ocean, we spotted dolphins everyday & a whale in the distance on our first day. Pajaro Dunes has a special place in my heart & childhood so it was really special to spend my honeymoon here with my husband. Cant wait to come back!"
