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.

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.
