Pajaro Dunes is beautiful. The beach is clean and not busy. This unit is on the ground floor so doesn't have the best view. The master suite has a good view but you can't have your party hand out in the master suite). The dryer wasn't working and several lights were out. It didn't seem as well maintained as I expected. There isn't much around so you have to drive for restaurants, etc. If you are looking for a quiet beach get away (avoiding the crowds of Santa Cruz) this is it.
