House vacation rentals in Pajaro Dunes

This was the most peaceful and beautiful space I have ever been to. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. All the greenery and the deers and random dog was super gorgeous and felt really at home. The hot tub was amazing and super relaxing. Robert was very kind and responsive, Received a phone call about all the lights, hot tub, close trails, and recommended spots!! Super helpful and very kind gesture. Would 100% go back to this place

This place was nicer than the photos and absolutely perfect for a girls weekend. Everything was well equipped and labeled. The location was very quiet and peaceful with great access to a quiet beach. You definitely need a car as it's a little isolated but that added to the charm.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful stay! Every detail was so thoughtful—from the Sensitive Dove body wash (a lifesaver for my daughter’s sensitive skin) to the soothing fountain and fragrant garden that made the whole place feel like a retreat. We loved dining outside at the large table, with those stunning doors that opened the whole space to the fresh air. The cozy cottage near the pool was the cherry on top. Truly a 10/10 experience—one of the most special Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in!

Everything about our stay was fantastic!! The beds, the pool, the town…the three of us loved this Airbnb and look forward to coming back. Swimming in a heated pool in the winter is a heavenly experience.

Such a nice place to stay in Silicon Valley. Tucked back into the beautiful hills, with a walking loop through the oak trees just down the street. Responsive host. A perfect retreat.

Wonderful place and host. The place and views was spectacular and maintained very well. Beds and amenities were very comfortable. Crystal was amazing and super helpful and went out of the way in helping us. Will most definitely repeat.

We loved every moment spent in this house ,especially the cats , the house was very comfortable, clean and cozy, I would definitely recommend this house .

We had a lovely stay at the schoolhouse! Despite being so close to the road and the highway, it felt very private. Kitchen was super well appointed, and the whole house was spacious and airy. We really liked the decor. We really appreciated the surplus of towels! The pool was warm and clean and the hot tub was hot. Beds were comfortable and we all had a chance to catch up on sleep. The sofas are a little low; we made it work. Overally, it was a great location and I can't recommend Carmen more as a host! We will be back!

This is by far the perfect beach getaway house! My husband had classes in the area so during the day my daughter and dog could walk right to the beach! There is even a museum right in walking distance I took my daughter to twice. And the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk is only a ten minute walk which we did another day! The Airbnb itself was beautifully decorated with a wonderful shower and a clawfoot tub. The outdoor area was so great to relax in as well. This place was stocked with beach chairs and toys and extra towels and even sunblock. Everything we could need. In fact we loved it so much we extended our stay. Yvonne was SO responsive and friendly and really made our vacation just completely hassle free and perfect. I can see why this place is always booked!

We spent a long weekend at Lauren's place and it was a wonderful, relaxing home away from home. Check-in was super smooth and we absolutely loved the area the listing was in. It's walkable (or a very short drive) to many local eateries, breweries, shops, and cafes on the west side and there's also plenty of nature-oriented things to do since it's so close to the ocean — hikes, beaches, walks, parks etc. The listing itself was very clean and had everything we need. Lauren even left some snacks and drinks for us as a welcome gift which we thought was very sweet. The kitchen is well stocked for your needs there. The one small setback was that it didn't have a a full sized refrigerator so the frozen foods we bought didn't quite fit into the mini fridge's freezer section. Everything was spotless and though it was raining while we were there, we would definitely come back and enjoy the patio space next time. Highly recommend this listing for a peaceful getaway to Santa Cruz.

Nicer than the pictures. No complaints. Good value and nice home.

Ian and his brother Ryan were excellent hosts! They were extremely communicative, which I always very much appreciate. I loved the brightness of each room, one with a large window and the other with a french door to a spacious backyard. We felt very comfortable in the home and also loved the live plants in the kitchen area. The kitchen has nice pots and pans, a few spices to cook with, and all needed utensils. We always cook when we travel, so it was great to have all of these needs met! The beds were comfortable, and the couch was nice and cozy as well :) Great location too!

Incredible place. As amazing as it looks in the photos. View is beautiful, place feels very fresh, and host was a great communicator/very responsive

Awesome house went with 16 teenagers and two parents. Everybody was able to walk and do whatever they wanted throughout the day and come back together for meals with plenty of space. As noted by some others it can be loud at times but with a/c you can easily close windows and drop blinds which worked great.

We had such a wonderful stay at Mariam's place! From the moment we booked, Mariam was incredibly kind and communicative, making sure we had everything we needed and answering any questions right away. The house was spotless and super cozy — the perfect size for our family of four and our two pups! It's in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood, just a short walk to the beach, which was a huge plus for us. We felt so at home and would absolutely love to come back. Thank you again, Mariam, for such a lovely experience!

This was our third year using Donna’s home for our week-long annual trip to the Monterey peninsula. We have always been pleased with our stay, and this year was no different. Donna’s home has everything a family or group could need. The home has always been clean and tidy. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood, and very close to most of the points of interest in this area including golf courses, the popular Monterey Bay Aquarium/Fisherman’s Wharf, and Laguna Seca Raceway. Her communication has been friendly and clear - no troubles to speak of. If you are considering a stay in this area, either short or longer term, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it!

We had a lovely, seamless stay here, with two little kids in tow. It was a great location, and had lots of amenities. The backyard is nice and quiet and shady. It is a great price, and convenient location, very close to the airport but in a nice residential area also convenient to downtown. 100% would stay here again.

Best vacation ever and such a beautiful gracious host!!! We really enjoyed everything!!! Everything I was hoping for❤️ Beautiful memories made and great energy on the host Marielle. I would definitely rebook.❤️

We have stayed at Faris’s more times than I can count because it is amazing. The home is well taken care of very comfortable always clean, Has everything you need and Faris is an amazing host!

We had a lovely stay here with our two young kids. The house was so well-stocked with anything we could need and helpful instructions for everything. The location is great for walking to the beach, and there are sand toys and beach chairs available, as well as a great shower outdoors to rinse off sandy feet. The kids loved the games and puzzles cabinet as well as having their own room with matching twin beds. The kitchen had everything we could think of! Thanks for a great stay!

Place was great--fit our needs perfectly. Recommend opening windows at night to bring in that beautiful fresh air. Our 4.5 yo was absolutely over the moon by all the activities outside in the yard-- very well equipped area for adults and kids alike! The sand toys were also a hit--we loved walking to the beach and appreciated how well written the instructions were. Just took a photo of them and went on our way. Only bummer is the lack of sidewalks in Aptos, but most cars do seem to watch for walkers. Marianne's ice cream is great, and tamales across the street also fantastic. Weather cooperated and the easy access to Santa Cruz and Monterey made this location ideal. Colm was a great host--responded immediately to any questions I had. Very thankful for this spring break trip--we truly feel rejuvenated!

Sarah’s house was beautiful- clean and lots of room. There was enough space for us to be together and space for alone time. There were 8 of us. Sarah had made some recommendations for dinners and places to go. We did try a couple of them and the Mexican restaurant and ice cream place was delicious . We had one issue with hot water and Sarah responded immediately and issue was resolved in a timely manner. The house was a little farther from Santa Cruz than we were used to but it only took 20 minutes get there. The area where the house was located was quiet and close to the ocean. We genuinely loved our time in Aptos. Would stay again .

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!

Love ❤️ Love ❤️ Love ❤️ Everything about this experience! My favorite place and favorite family!!! Rusty is such a Love ❤️ He’s “Tigger” to me! Thank you for sharing this experience with me!
