Brandelia is a wonderful communicator and runs a good rental!! Finding a place on the ocean in Central California is rare. Pajaro Dunes is fantastic in that way. This unit was in great shape, wonderful views, very comfy beds. The building itself is showing its age, but the salt air is tough. Not really a criticism, but the kitchen is outdated, so don't expect to do any serious cooking, but you're on vacation, so relax (supply of plates/cutlery/glasses/cups is great!). There was some crossed wires about having fires on the beach - we were told we could rent a portable fire pit from the facility but when we got there they told us "Oh - we're not doing that during Covid." Fortunately, we found an old steel car wheel used for that purpose. It was great. We hit some fantastic weather. Can be windy. This place is right by where the Pajaro River empties into the Pacific. Great shell collecting, broad beaches - the little ones loved every minute.
