Beachfront Condo with Ocean Deck

DianaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
LOVE Pajaro dunes ! Everything was exactly as described ! The only thing is that the description mentioned no essentials, which we ended up bringing our own. Once arrival we discovered that they had everything that you needed ! Now I know for next time not to carry everything from my kitchen. This place was everything we needed and more. Felt right at home. The one thing is that the bed was uncomfortable but other then that the view was beautiful and my family and I would definitely come again !

Top Oceanfront 1BR Stunning View

TedRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We have stayed at many beach hotels and apartments and this may have been the best. Beautiful view of the beach, which is pretty quiet. And you can walk on the beach for a couple of hours in either direction. Also really enjoyed the location in Watsonville, which is the strawberry capital of the US. And nice to have Monterey and Santa Cruz nearby. Communicaiton with Pajaro Dunes was very good and helpful. Look forward to coming back.

Breathtaking Carmel Penthouse Suite w/ Brad Pitt!

RavenRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Absolutely loved this location. Quiet and peaceful, with the most amazing view. The bathroom is huge with an amazing whirlpool tub. It was extremely clean and felt so private. Fantastic place to spend a romantic weekend. We were not asked to do any cleaning, and checkout was extremely fast and simple. I would love to come again, and would recommend it to anyone.

Cannery Row Bungalow

MarissaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had such a fun weekend getaway at Ann’s place! It was quaint and cozy—perfect for a relaxing stay. The location was ideal, right on Cannery Row and within walking distance to the aquarium and tons of great restaurants. Everything else was just a quick $8 Uber ride away, including breweries and other fun spots. Would absolutely stay here again!

Oceanfront beach house with private hot tub

JeeyunRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We had a family vacation and wanted a place where we could walk to the beach and back since we had elderly and a toddler in our party. The house was perfect for that. There was a crib and toys and books which we got to use with our daughter. The internet connection was non existent (it would say connected and say no connection) but we didn’t mind much as we were just there for vacation and didn’t need constant access to internet. Overall, our family had a wonderful time and made good memories.

Adorable Sea House

JonathanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Dean’s place was great in terms of location, size and privacy. We’re familiar with pacific grove/monterey area so we knew what we were looking for. The house has (2) bathrooms which is great and appreciated as (1) bathroom abnb in the area are commonplace but with more than 3 people it’s great to have 2. House is located directly across from ocean walking path. You cross street and you are on the water-10 min walk to aquarium, cannery row, 10 min walk the other direction and you’re at lovers point restaurant. 10 min walk to downtown PG for many restaurants. Clean house, would stay there again for sure. Wife and I were there this time with 17yo nephew, 14yo and 12 yo sons. Plenty of space.

Modern Carmel Gem, Ocean Views!

JosephRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Eric was an amazing host. He responded to all questions within minutes. The location was perfect. A quick drive to downtown Carmel, restaurants, beaches and the aquarium. The adults and two grandkids all had a great time. The sauna was also a great touch and used everyday.

Ocean Dune Not Disturb at Pajaro Dunes Resort

JacquelineRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved our stay at Pajaro Dunes! The pictures really don’t do it justice. We stayed during the week, so it was peaceful, quiet, and incredibly relaxing with no disruptions. The easy beach access was a highlight (FYI: they rent out fire pits, which is a nice touch). The location is also great for visiting nearby cities. As mentioned in the listing, be sure to bring your own shampoo and soap, as those aren’t provided. The kitchen had a few seasoning bottles that I believe were left behind by previous guests, which was a small bonus. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely consider booking again!

Luxury Oceanfront Retreat

MacyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Stayed with my husband and parents here for our wedding week that was happening in the area. The place was plenty spacious for 4 people! Much better than a hotel room would’ve been. Gave us quality time cooking in the kitchen and hanging out in the living room, enjoying the hottub & heated pool and the beach! The ocean view from the dining table and the front porch is STUNNING!! The place is nice, well kept, and has everything you need! Any small things that popped up, Patti was helpful and fixed right away! Would definitely stay here again!!

Once Upon a Tide - 3BR Sanctuary at Pajaro Dunes

SuegyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our stay was truly remarkable, with the accommodation being exceptionally well-stocked with all necessary amenities, thereby creating a home-away-from-home experience. The check-in process was remarkably efficient, thanks to the clear instructions. The children had an absolute blast, given the beach's close proximity to our condominium. We will definitely be booking this residence again for our next stay.

Zen 1bd Beachfront Bliss

TanyaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This was our third time at Shorebirds but first time in this unit. It was a great decision to try this place. We always come for the peaceful atmosphere and easy beach access. It was a great bonus to stay in a condo that felt freshly updated but cost less than our prior rental. This condo is managed by the resort so it felt like checking into a hotel. I liked the experience and all logistics were easy. Check out was an hour later than usual, 12pm, which was a nice bonus. Another perk and I think a personal touch from the owner was a selection of wine in the unit. I had to ask about it and was told that one bottle was complimentary with our stay. Wine bottles were from various wine producing countries/regions of the world including Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Spain, Italy, France, California. This touch was very unique and much appreciated. The unit itself is very comfortable, including the pull out couch in the living room. Bathroom has a bidet! We will undoubtedly come back.

Carmel Highlands 1BR/1BA Suite

AndreRating, 5 stars12 months ago
I had an absolutely wonderful stay at David’s Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed. The host, David, was incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with any questions or needs. The space itself was clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated, making it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect, close to all the local attractions and easy to navigate. David went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a fantastic place to stay. I will definitely be returning!
