Magical indeed! We had a wonderful stay in Watsonville and the view, including the hummingbirds, was worth every penny! We spent most of our time on the patio, enjoying the quiet and soaking in the ocean air. This place is a gem!
We have stayed in this unit before and it is always a wonderful stay! Debbie is very responsive; the condo is sparkling clean; kitchen is fully stocked; and the furnishings are very comfortable (especially the Sleep Number bed!) We hope to be able to go back again!
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit again; we keep coming back to rest and recharge at this cozy ocean front hideaway.

Such a beautiful place to just sit and relax, watch the waves through the BIG picture window or open the sliders in the living room and bedroom and left the sound of the surf put you to sleep. Immaculately clean, has everything you need! The shower was fantastic and the sleep number bed lets everyone feel comfortable. Just what my wife and I needed for a three day weekend get away.
This is our go-to place for special celebrations. Everything about it works for us: beautiful location, super clean, kind and considerate owners, complete kitchen, comfy bed, nice linens, etc. etc. You will not be disappointed with this magical place by the sea.
Debbie was very welcoming! Her Magical Place by the Sea was the best I’ve stayed at in Pajaro. It is well stocked with everything you can think of or that you may have forgotten. It’s very clean and nicely decorated. The view is spectacular! I’ll definitely go back as soon as I can.
Wonderful place to stay for a quiet beach vacation. It is one of the best equipped units we have stayed at. This was our 2nd time staying here. We will certainly be back.
We had a great stay at this amazing property! The views were incredible and the place itself was so well fitted and nice. The owner was super responsive as well.
We have been to Pajaro Dunes once a year the last three years. This was by far the best time we’ve had. The best view, the most quiet, easy access to the beach. We throughly enjoyed ourselves and, Lord willing, will return.
This condo is absolutely beautiful in every way possible! It is beautifully decorated and very well stocked with quality items. The view is one of the best around. We always have a peaceful, relaxing time there. The host is great to work with.
The property is in an ideal location with unobstructed views of the ocean and very easy access to the beach with everything you would need for your stay. Debbie was an awesome communicator whenever I reach out. I would highly recommend and stay at this property again!
We were so impressed with everything about this condo! Very clean throughout, comfortable beds, pillows and linens. The view is stunning and neighborhood is relaxed and friendly. We hope to come back soon!
We had a delightful stay at this very comfortable and well stocked condo. The location on the dunes was just perfect for long walks on the beach and hummingbirds were a wonderful bonus!
