Updated Mountain Home Clawfoot Tub Near Waterfalls

MalvinaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Anna Marie’s airbnb was a pleasure to stay in. It is very comfortable and peaceful. Neighbors are friendly and quiet. The house is split into two airbnbs with separate entrances, so we did not have access to the backyard but that was fine because we were mostly out and about. There was a guest staying below that we did not hear at all, and only noticed when we met her outside as she was checking out. The house was very clean, the bed comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The AC worked well and quickly. I would definitely book again for a future stay.

Master Deluxe Suite | Full Kitchen | Room 1

SarahRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This place was perfect for my family. It was very clean, and we were very pleasantly surprised by how amazing the view was from the room. The large windows had more than an 180 degree view of the ocean. The sunset from our room was beautiful! The kitchen appliances were great and the room was open and spacious. We would live to come back and stay longer next time.

Waterfront home - fish, kayak, swim - 1hr from SF

LydiaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
I loved Al’s river house. It was a comfy , friendly space. Great for hanging and visiting with friends. The slough is rich with color . The light is wonderful and ever changing. Really not far from delta restaurants and activities. Great bird watching and otters too! The delta is so cool!

Design & Style with White Water View

ChloeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our second stay, and just as wonderful as last time. The views are unbeatable, and the ability to walk to the lodge is an amazing benefit (I loved being able to grab a coffee there in the morning, or knowing I could have a few drinks and walk home!). Beds were comfy. To note, the blinds in the rooms aren’t blackout so the mornings are bright — but ideally you’re up then anyways to enjoy the gorgeous views!

Such a beautiful place to stay. Absolutely better than expected. All amenities that anyone would need. Ken is a wonderful host, made sure that we were happy there. A wonderful place to spend our 44th wedding anniversary. And Father's day. My hubby caught 12 fish off shore. Highly recommend, we'll be back. The best place ever for relaxation. So clean and comfortable. Ken is 5 star host. Beautiful property. 6 deers last night and a buck this morning...who could ask for more. Thank you.

One of a kind full River and Ocean view!

ChadRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Amazing views of the Pajaro River and Pacific Ocean. Short walk (300 yards) to the beach along a boardwalk or enjoy the views from the livingroom through the large picture windows or deck. Perfect for a couple or young family (the two twin beds in the second bedroom are quite small but my 20 something daughters had no complaints). Abundant bird watching opportunities along with the occasional sea lion\seal and otter.

Your Mammoth Home Away From Home

AlexandraRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved staying at this location very close to the mountain and restaurants. Super clean and very cozy! Ivana was so kind to turn the heater on prior to our arrival since we got in late. Since we came towards the end of the season, the local lifts were closed but driving up to the mountain and parking was easy. We will def stay at this location again next season

Breathtaking Views on Riverwalk w/ Parking Options

MattRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Fantastic place to stay! Walking distance to some great restaurants and attractions. Great river view. One watch out (has nothing to do with the apartment): underground parking is very very tight. Alternatively you could consider parking across the river.

A Total "Distanced" Coastal Experience!

JoeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We’ve stayed at Pajaro Dunes before, but it’s been decades ago. Marc’s place was perfectly situated for privacy and views and was very clean and well appointed. The peacefulness and serenity were exactly what we were looking for. The beachy feel of the furnishings was charming and the unit included all that we needed including an upgraded and well furnished kitchen, a gas fireplace, a comfortable, king size bed and other essentials like extra blankets and a Kuerig coffee maker. Our only difficulty was when inadvertently trying to use the TV remote to change channels…Don’t Do That, Use the cable remote like it says in the instructions. Spent a thoroughly enjoyable four days here with side trips to Monterey and Carmel. Perfect home base for dining out and exploring the coast, and an excellent, proactive host.

This location is ideal for those who like easy access to hiking, walking, beach, pools etc. Also a short drive to Capitola, and Santa Cruz to the North. Views from the balcony are way better than the pictures. Stay here, you will not be disappointed.
