The first time was great a second time our condo which was a two bedroom at ants in the kitchen and dining room area and a shower did not work at all. I just recently got back from my third trip down there another premium plus condo. The bedroom window was broken with a sign not to open it on the third day. I was there that was remodeling going on next-door hammering and electric power tools all afternoon. It started again on Thursday. I called the front desk and they told me they were not aware we were given notice by the HOA of any repairs and we get back to me on Friday. It went out all morning. No one has ever gotten back to me and I'm very disappointed.

Looking for a Very relaxing few days at Pajaro Dunes? We rented the beachfront home - 59 Avocet…read morefrom BestofDunes.com - light on the fees and heavy on the service. (So much more reasonable than other sites.) (before you pay the heavy prices at AirBNB or VRBO -reach out to Stacey at BestofDunes.com.) Walking into 59 Avocet could not be anything less than amazing! This place is incredible! Decorated with such care for the comfort of guests. I couldn't decide where to sit and watch the ocean - because not only is there Several seating areas - but each more comfortable than the next (my bad back was in heaven. ) Oceanview? Wow- just about anywhere you are in this house ! The giant floor to ceiling windows and open floor plan makes the views that much more Incredible. All I could say is - the photos don't do it justice. The deck with several tables, chairs and lounges had us out there Whale watching for hours. There's even a patio downstairs off One of the master bedrooms (yep there is 2 Master Suites (with Giant tubs!) If you want to get away for some chill time - THIS place is beyond Perfect - there was only two of us (myself and my Pool shark husband) yep - they have a pool table and a ping pong topper but 5+ couples could comfortably stay here (even more!) Perfect place for kiddies to play in a separate playroom, with a giant TV and a bazillion DVD's if that's your thing. I stopped counting how many TV's...and um 2 Kitchens? Yep, fully stocked with anything you want and too many type of coffee makers to mention (if you want to make a cake from scratch...even a mixer!) The only thing that stopped me from some moments of chill time was adventuring around this home, I kept finding more rooms and more special touches for guests! Tubs? Say Ahhhhh - cause there's actually 3 in this home! The stairs to get onto the beach are only steps away...but honestly - sitting out on the deck (or inside on one of the bazillion couches) ...well you just can't beat that. Yes, yes, you can rent this and other vacation homes at Pajaro Dunes from other sites, but I'm all about saving money and I love the secure feeling of a more personal touch when I rent vacation locations- BestofDunes.com gave me everything I needed (and more) for 3 days I will long remember. When I dream of winning the lottery, 'This' is the house I dream of buying the day after I cash my ticket in So future renters better be quick before it's mine ;) Until then -Definitely go to BestofDunes.com to rent at Pajaro Dunes if location and service is on top of your list! Thank you so much Stacey for making our stay special in this magical home possible-You Rock!! We Will be back!

The Futon couch has a split pillow in the middle of the so called mattresses which is about as comfortable as sleeping on the floor. The ad says stocked kitchen, there is no cutting board, or knives to cook with or spoons to cook with, their is one pot, on small frying pan nothing to put a salad in, you get the picture. My husband is 65 and I'm 60 we cannot be in a place for 5 nights that has nothing comfortable to sit on or sleep on. The extra bedding you can smell has not been cleaned. It's awful . Taylor Properties said they have a professional cleaner after each guest, that doesn't matter if the fabrics are dirty and smell. Worst property ever so miss represented, I highly recommend you go and see a property Taylor Properties has to offer, I can't stay here for 5 nights with dirty bedding, and uncomfortable sleeping, we paid over $1200.00 awful. This's the only vacation of our year. Taylor Properties came out and removed the disgusting rug, sent a pair of people out to see what we were talking about and we never heard back. After spending $130.00 on bedding and cutting board and knife to cook, Taylor Properties are refunding 1 night $199.00, we left 2 nights early because we just couldn't bare 2 more nights of being so uncomfortable. This place is for 20 somethings.

We rented a property at 452 Seascape Resort through Lindemann & Sloan in June. Though the location…read moreis exquisite, there were many problems, almost all of which I lay at the feet of the management company. The key cards were not in the lockbox at arrival as promised, the Wifi did not work, the DVD player did not work, the oven door could not open fully, there was no toaster, no corkscrew, no drapes installed in the living room, no screen installed on the balcony door, television brightness levels that could not be controlled, and an upstairs bath tub that leaked into the dining room below. Taking these issues one at a time... Luckily, the cleaning crew was there at arrival and they graciously offered us their key, and a toaster was provided within a couple of hours. However, the Wifi remained dead for 24 hours with Lindemann telling us to go to Resort and the Resort telling us to go to Lindemann (since the unit was owner-managed, this is the standard response of the Resort). From my point of view, it is 100% Lindemann's responsibility to get that working, but all they did was continue to say 'Call the Resort'. The lack of Wifi that first day impacted us a lot and actually required that both my son and I set up a working area in the lobby of the resort. Meanwhile, all I was getting was customer service that reminded me of a roadside motel. The oven door problem is an architectural blunder that they rightfully cannot be held responsible for (though they could remedy it if they really wanted to) and one could argue that it is not their responsibility to provide drapes either, even though it makes the living room a brightly lit stage at night. However, any definition of "maintenance" has to include installing a screen door instead of leaning it against the wall, providing an operational DVD controller, and establishing an environment where it is not necessary to shine a flashlight at the IR sensor for a television picture to be visible! Doesn't it? After all, this is a so-called luxury apartment, for crying out loud. However, the most egregious problem of all was the leak. There was a rupture in the ceiling when we checked in, the little peeling back that is a tell-tale sign of a chronic leak. I did not think about it at the time, but that is exactly where the leak came through the next day. And you know what? Instead of saying sorry for the inconvenience, Lindemann blamed us for the leak, saying we must have flooded the bathroom floor. That never happened. I was the one who had taken the shower and I know for a fact that the floor was completely dry and we stopped using that tub for the remainder of our stay. Nonetheless, they had the cojones to subsequently dock our deposit. Because we reported to them an issue that existed before us, they took it upon themselves to shoot the messenger, patch over the ceiling, and ignore the fact that the leak is certain to occur again. You can believe me or not, but I promise on my children's lives that everything I am saying is 100% true. And it would be a matter of simply being irked at another disagreeable vendor were it not for one other thing: I had found them on AirBNB, but they insisted that I book directly through their own website to get the better price. Guess what? No consumer protection and no dispute arbitration booking directly. A mistake I will not make again. I could kick myself for being so gullible. If you work with Lindemann and Sloan, I would advise that you do so under an AirBNB or VRBO umbrella only, and that you do a full walk-through of the property and document everything photographically when you arrive. And if something is missing or broken, text them immediately so that you have a paper trail of communication. Treat the relationship just like a car rental agency. Note the dents before you drive it off the lot, otherwise they might become yours. Lastly, understand that you will be totally dependent on Lindemann and Sloan and their hours of operation for problem resolution. This is especially important at Seascape. You are on your own.

A mishmash of items with no thread. Overall I suppose they're going for farmhouse eclectic but my take was where can we dump old used furniture and call it a home. The bathrooms are so dirty and the little things like rusty shelving holding the toilet paper far away from the toilet are just annoying and gross. It's definitely NOT somewhere I'd want to do a wedding or important event. The family weekend was enough for me. I would not recommend this if you're expecting wine country chic. It's farm country sad.
