We booked this home in Pajaro Dunes for a little over $700 over the 2015 Christmas holiday weekend. Although the price was on the higher end, understandably it was over a holiday weekend and we booked it a little late in the game (in October 2015). Brandelia, the agent who listed the home, was responsive up until and through the consummation of the transaction. However, when she instructed me to check in with her the day before we arrived to confirm whether we could come earlier than the usual 3pm check in, she never got back to us. We arrived at 2pm and were told the house wouldn't be ready until 4pm.

Pros:
- Amazing view
- Great short walk to beach
- Parking was a bit far from the home, but there were carts to transport our luggage and groceries
- Lots of bedrooms to fit three families of four
- Provided extra bedding
- When we called the HOA office for help, they were responsive (although they couldn't fix the issues that we had - see below)

Cons:
- Wacky thermostat: too hot upstairs, but too cold downstairs.
- Ant problem (they were partying on the beds)
- Chlorine odor floating up from pool area
- Sliding door at pool was difficult to lock
- Microwave did not work
- DVD player did not work
- Lots of kitchen items, but not necessarily a full kitchen.
- Lacked a full knife set (there were lots of knives, but most of them were only steak knives and we needed chef's knife and paring knife)
- There were lots of pots and pans, but all the non-stick pans were damaged (we were concerned about chemical exposure)
- No cooking oil
- Not a lot of food storage options (no ziplock baggies, plastic wrap, containers, etc.)
- Lighting in dining area was too dim
- House does not have doorbell

Strangely, when I booked this home, there wasn't a single review. I found that odd and concerning. I asked Brandelia why there weren't any and she said that it was because the home was posted on Airbnb as of March 2015. Notwithstanding, when I checked Airbnb as the time of our stay neared, there still wasn't a single review.
