Welcome to Pajaro Dunes where wispy sea-grass blows in the sea air on miles of uncrowded, white sandy beaches. Our secluded vacation home community offers the best of California Coastal living!
Serene and modern, this spacious 2 bed - 2 bath fully renovated condo has ocean views throughout.
While overlooking the ocean from the living room you will appreciate the warmth of the fireplace on chilly evenings.
Maser bedroom w/ en-suite bathroom and an abundance of natural lighting. Two twin beds in the second bedroom and a 2nd full bathroom offer our guests comfort during your stay.
A fully appointed kitchen and large dining table perfect to share a meal, a game of cards or a lovely chat at the end of an adventure filled day.
Vacations are cherished experiences. A romantic get-away, a peaceful retreat with friends/family, an inspirational place to work from home, or looking to get in touch with nature. Here you can and watch the seals, dolphins and otters play in the surf and perhaps even a peek at the migrating whales. You'll find egrets & herons, pelicans soaring overhead or sandelings darting across the sand. There is no shortage of wildlife on land or sea.
Come to relax and enjoy all that our private gated community has to offer or venture out to the nearby towns of Capitola, Monterey, Carmel and Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
Our Association offers Bonfires on the beach with Smores, and the best part is that the staff at Pajaro Dunes will set up everything for you.
There is also a convenience store on the premises with an amazing selection of food, wine and sundries. Forgot something? No problem...this convenient shop has thought of almost everything, is open 7 days a week and also offers great gifts and souvenirs to remember your trip.
Sorry...we do love furry, four-legged friends, but in consideration of all guests, we do not allow pets.
The dunes at Pajaro await you!

Our stay was wonderful! It is literally a one minute walk to the beach! The property was very well kept and super cute! Maria, the host, was very easy to get ahold of, very helpful and kind!
This property and host were amazing. From the night we made our reservation she was extremely responsive and helpful. She even suggested several places for dinner and things to see in the area.The condo was exactly as pictured on the site. It was clean and had everything we needed. The dunes and beach area were amazing. I would highly recommend this place.

I love hearing that you felt so comfortable and welcome! It was a pleasure hosting your family, and I’ll be just as excited to have you back for another visit! ~ Maria
Our only complaint was that the bed frame in the master bedroom needs to be replaced as it has an obvious fracture somewhere that causes the bed to creak very annoyingly with movement. Otherwise great location , Very quiet and restful experience. Will be coming back again in the future.

I’m glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting and plan to return! I also appreciate you bringing the bed frame to my attention so I could address it. I look forward to welcoming you back! ~ Maria
Absolutely FABULOUS!The condo is beautifully decorated and they provided us with everything we needed for the beach: chairs, umbrella, towels…! The washer dryer had us pack less & they even had a steamer and iron! The location is remote so we felt like we could unplug & just relax! Our son graduated from college and this was the PERFECT place for everyone to decompress, connect & celebrate our graduate! Thank you Maria for providing such a great home for us to be together!

What a special reason to get away and celebrate together! I’m so happy the condo gave your family a place to relax, reconnect and enjoy such an important milestone. Congratulations to your graduate, and I hope you’ll all come back again! ~ Maria
Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. The property is nicer than the great pictures would show and the communication was outstanding. An incredible location with easy access to the Monterey Peninsula Capitola, and the whole area cannot recommend it enough. We will be back for certain.

Thank you so much for such a great review! I’m especially happy to hear the home exceeded your expectations. I look forward to welcoming you back ~ Maria
Shannon and Candice were absolutely wonderful hosts! They provided a quiet, peaceful sanctuary for my family to gather during an important planning event. This is a true space where we could work, rest, and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. While the property feels beautifully secluded from the day-to-day hustle, it remains close enough to easily access everything we needed. Gathering in downtown Morgan Hill for dinner with extended family and returning to the comfort of the Guest House was both convenient and highly productive for our needs. I strongly recommend Shannon, Candice, and their exceptional Guest House for anyone visiting the Bay Area.

About the host
Hosted by Maria Diaz
Dear Guests,
Welcome to our Beach Home! My husband and I live in Saratoga, California. We have (2) adult sons and we recently purchased this beautiful retreat at Pajaro Dunes. I am a Construction Manager for a real estate developer in Los Gatos, and my husband is in construction.
I am an experienced Short Term Rental Host, as I managed my boss's (4) luxury estates for 5 years. This listing is new so we don't have any reviews, however I have 5 star ratings on all the properties I have ever managed and I promise to bring that experience and commitment to our properties.
Please note that we have properties coming online in Maui, Sierra Nevada, Saratoga & High Point NC soon!
We look forward to having you as our guest!!! Maria
