Pajaro Dunes vacation rentals

My family and I had a great stay at Yvonne's cottage. The location was ideal—just a short walk to the ocean, nearby restaurants, and the Santa Cruz boardwalk, yet the cottage itself was nestled on a peaceful, quiet street. The cottage was beautifully designed both inside and out. We truly had a wonderful time and highly recommend it!

This was a perfect place for my weekend diving trip. I came alone, so there was plenty of space. The kitchen is huge. I loved that there were front and back yard spaces. I used the chairs on the back patio to dry my dive gear. Dennis owns the market a block away, and he made me a really good sandwich and recommended a nearby fish place that was jam-packed (he recommended I order takeout, which I did!) I would gladly stay here again.

It felt right at home. Clean smell as you walk in. Fit all of our group (18 of us). Loved it

This was our third stay at the Blue Whale Bungalow, and it remains our favorite place to stay in Rio del Mar! Mariam is a wonderful and generous host who immediately remembered our family and welcomed our two dogs. The Blue Whale Bungalow is clean and cozy, with everything you need to enjoy the beach or relax indoors. It is located just two blocks from the beach, where you can enjoy the ocean breeze, search for sea glass, and admire the beautiful sunsets. We look forward to visiting the Blue Whale Bungalow very soon!

Spacious house, well-stocked. Very convenient location for the Village, shopping, Pebble Beach, Point Lobos and Big Sur.

Clean, comfy, and conveniently located for our road trip to Santa Cruz and the coast. We walked to shops, the marina, and the beach during our stay. The large dining table was great for playing Yahtzee while Alexa served up our favorite tunes on demand. Al, the maintenance guy who lives next door, introduced himself the first day of our stay, gave us his card, and offered to support whatever we needed—but we didn’t need much. A previous guest left a broken corkscrew, and I could've called Al. Instead, I walked to Day’s Market Liquors & Deli and bought a $5 replacement, along with freshly made chicken tamales that were absolutely delicious.

This airbnb was the perfec little weekend getaway for the family, the airbnb matches the photos and we were truly able to make this into our home for the weekend. Amy was very responsive whenever we had questions or concerns, she even went out of her way late at night to make sure we had a pleasant and comfortable stay. Overall I would stay here again if ever needed!

Andrew was a great host who was responsive and proactive. The space was comfortable, quiet and within walking distance of the ocean. The king sized bed was comfortable. There is a small kitenette with a mini-fridge. Parking is on the street in front of the unit. We were very happy with our stay and highly recommend this for your visit to Santa Cruz!

Fantastic location with phenomenal views! The unit was clean and cozy and we had everything we needed for a great weekend away.

Excellent 2nd stay at this beautiful condo , literally 20 steps away from the ocean . We had fun this time also , Long Beach walks are a must . The place is clean and well maintained , comfortable bed . Lots of beach stuff too .

This was the cleanest AirBnB we've ever stayed in! Pristine! Tidy! Stunning ocean views from both the living room & primary bedroom. The entire villa has been remodeled yet still has the Old World Charm and coziness. This Villa is located on the 2nd floor of North Bluff - is very private - has a pool jacuzzi just steps away. The resort offers many amenities, restaurant, bar, room service (or pick up) massage, sauna - endless. Aptos Village is right across the street - walking distance offering many shops, market and a great place for pizza and Italian food. We will definitely stay with Sue again - as soon as we can! Next time, we'll try her other property #33. Sue is a GREAT hostess in every area and has earned Super Host many times over!

We had an amazing stay at Ahnalisa’s beautiful home in Monterey! The place was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. The views were absolutely stunning — waking up to them every morning was a treat. It’s also in a perfect location: peaceful, yet just a short and easy walk to everything we wanted to explore. Ahnalisa was a wonderful host and made sure everything was just right. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Monterey!

Marc’s beach view condo was absolutely beautiful. Spent a girls weekend there and it was very comfortable for three people. Kitchen was fully stocked, fireplace was nice and cozy. He was very flexible with our check-in time. I highly recommend this place if you’d like a peaceful location & quite beautiful ocean view. This is a perfect location in between Santa Cruz and Monterey/Carmel.

Perfect spot for a nice weekend vacation. Everything is within walking distance and our host was just amazing in every way! Will definitely want to come back again!

Staying at Seascape was the perfect kid-friendly vacation. The pool was easy to access from our condo and the views were beautiful. The condo's set-up with two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and a half bath downstairs was great for our family of 5. The private beach was beautiful - we saw otters, whales, and my son found two perfect sand dollars walking down the beach. It was a little bit of a trek to get down to the beach with three little kids and all the beach gear, but once we were there no one wanted to leave. Several near-by restaurants were delicious, especially the newly opened Dos Pescados. It was fairly easy to get into Santa Cruz too, but we did have to time traffic or it would double the drive time (to almost 45 minutes).

We liked this place so much that we returned for the second year for our winter getaway. The space is ample for a couple and the furnishings very comfortable. There are restaurants and coffee shops in easy walking distance and the beach is also just two blocks away. Aaron is always ready to help

In a word, David's place is perfection! Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, fabulous linens, ideal location for unmatched views, awesome beach gear and a fantastic, communicative host! Best stay we've ever had at Seascape and one of the most gorgeous beachfront properties we enjoyed anywhere! Thank you David!

Our 5 day stay was great. Felt right at home. Great location w an amazing view. Place was nice and clean. We found beach gear as well that’s provided by the host. We were greated with complimentary snacks and bottled bubbly water. Kitchen had everything needed to cook if need be. We will definitely be coming back once the opportunity comes around.

Susan was awesome with responding to any question we had! The place was perfect for our family to gather and stay together for my son’s wedding, which was just a few miles away. We highly recommend the home for a group!!! Thank you, Susan!!!!

Amazing location and beautiful home! The house was perfect for our family with young kids! The kids toys and dishes were a great help. The location was so convenient between grocery stores, the beach and town. Melí is a responsive and friendly host! Could not recommend enough! We will definitely be back!

This is our second stay at this property. We occupied two units. There is always plenty of space, and it was clean and ready to go. We enjoyed the little details: plush towels, the “nice” TP, etc :) Thanks for hosting us - we’d come back if you’ll have us.

We loved our stay at Karin's and felt right at home. This is my 90s dream home complete w/nostalgia from the VHS movies to the DVDs, TV w/the VHS slot, and a tape rewind machine. The area is very quiet, private, + peaceful. The house is very clean, cozy, spacious, I love the vaulted ceilings and breathtaking views! Had plenty of natural light on the main floor, lots of towels, linens, thick soft blankets, toiletries in the bathrooms, lots of beds, lots of seating. I love the breakfast nook next to the kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the 1/2 bath on the main floor was convenient. Super close to hiking at Point Lobos, the beach, main shops and restaurants on Ocean Ave, Barnyard, and still close enough to Monterey and Big Sur. Tenant in the cottage next door was nice and friendly when we ran into her, but it was still a quiet and private stay for us. Didn't get to use the aquarium passes since my teen didn't want to go. We would love to come back again when the weather is warmer.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at El Nido! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by how beautiful it was. The space was not only stylish and well-decorated, but also incredibly relaxing – the perfect escape. The attention to detail in every corner really made me feel at home, and I found myself unwinding in no time. The host, Chris, was incredibly kind and welcoming, always so understanding with any questions we had. Their hospitality truly made this the best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had. I can’t recommend El Nido enough for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. I’ll definitely be back!

Clean, well-appointed, spacious home less than a block from the beautiful Twin Lakes Beach. You can see the beach from chairs on the front lawn. We were lucky enough to be there during the lighted boat parade (first Saturday in December), so we watched the lighted boats in the water from the front yard. Everything was easily accessible. The home includes many amenities (washer/dryer, cooking supplies, games, pack n play). The room with the bunk beds has a separate bathroom, making it really nice for families with older kids. Great stay and I hope we can return.
