BEST OCEAN-FRONT HOME IN PAJARO DUNES, MONTEREY BAY - NEWLY RENOVATED


Experience the Ultimate Luxury Getaway at Pajaro Dunes!

California is home to some of the most breathtaking beaches in the world, and Pajaro Dunes is no exception. Tucked within a pristine coastal sanctuary, this exclusive beachfront retreat offers front-row seats to nature’s wonders—watch dolphins play in the waves, spot majestic whales in the distance, and admire sea otters floating effortlessly in the surf. As the sun sets over the Pacific, prepare to be mesmerized by the vivid colors painting the sky—an experience you’ll never forget.

A Landmark Home, Now Completely Transformed
Originally built by Senator Dianne Feinstein, this iconic oceanfront home has long been a beloved landmark in the Pajaro Dunes community. Now, after an extensive luxury remodel, it has been completely reimagined with top-of-the-line finishes, designer interiors, and high-end appliances—making it one of the most exclusive rentals in the area.

Step inside to soaring high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the home with natural light, creating an airy, open-concept layout that maximizes the breathtaking ocean views. The brand-new gourmet kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances, custom cabinetry, and premium stone countertops, making it a dream for home chefs and entertainers alike.

Unparalleled Outdoor Living
Unique to Pajaro Dunes, this home offers the best of both worlds—a spacious ocean-facing deck where you can sip your morning coffee while listening to the waves, and a private courtyard in the back, complete with an elegant dining and lounging area, perfect for sunset dinners or cozy evenings by the fire.

A private driveway offers convenient parking for up to three cars, and just steps from the front door, a staircase leads directly to the sandy beach—making it effortless to enjoy the sun, surf, and coastal beauty.

The Perfect Coastal Escape
Located within a secure, gated community, this retreat is ideally positioned just 20 miles from Capitola Village and Santa Cruz, and 25 miles from Monterey and Carmel. Whether you’re exploring the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, hiking among the majestic redwoods, indulging in world-class dining, or visiting the renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium and central coast wineries, your stay at House 48 offers the perfect balance of luxury, relaxation, and adventure.

About the host

Hosted by Carl Wheatley

Host profile image
I grew up in Ireland and moved to the US more than 20 years ago. I settled in Silicon Valley and have been living here ever since. And no surprise, my husband and I work in high tech but love to come to the beach whenever we can get away.

Why they chose this property

I discovered Pajaro Dunes shortly after I moved to the US. I fell in love with it immediately and have been coming here ever since. I have travelled the world but there is no other place I would rather be.. Pajaro Dunes reminds me of Ireland. It's a hidden gem nestled between the miles of strawberry fields and the Pacific Ocean. The resort lies next to a nature sanitary audit's not uncommon to see bird watchers scouting for a sighting of the many species of birds. Coming here on a Friday evening after work is like stepping into another world. Look up and down the beach from our patio and you will likely see a string of couples with wine and beer watching the magical sunset.

What makes this property unique

The location is unique. There is nowhere else you will such beauty and tranquility, yet the buzz, bars and restaurants of Capitola are only 15 - 20 minutes away. Santa Cruz, Monterey Bay whale watching and the Aquarium, central coast wineries and world famous golf are a short drive away

Premier Host
