I would highly recommend the Copper Nest to anyone! We stayed at the copper nest with 8 adults (4 couples) for a long weekend celebrating a birthday and it was truly such a relaxing and magical trip. I would say that the house is probably ideal for 6 adults or a family, but we still felt very comfortable with 8 adults, one couple just had to stay on the pull out couch on the upstairs landing. This was not an issue for us and the living spaces very comfortably fit all of us. It's hard to narrow down what I loved most about the place, the views and architecture are definitely showstopping, but I think what pushes this place over the edge is the finishings and attention to detail. They have everything you could possibly need there, and everything is so thoughtfully and beautifully decorated. We cooked a number of meals in the place and found the kitchen to be very well stocked, as well as all the beach chairs, towels, toys, etc. made for a great beach day enjoying sitting on the beach (even with the fog rolling in later in the day). This place was a perfect balance of luxury and cozy. Erin was very communicative throughout our stay through text and check in was easy through the gatehouse for the neighborhood. We also enjoyed that it was only about 30 min from Santa Cruz, and we enjoyed going to some nearby wineries in Aptos, but I would also highly encourage any future guests to ensure they set aside time to just relax and enjoy the place/beach at Pajaro Dunes.
