About this property

Oceanfront Top Floor 2BR Condo at Pajaro Dunes Ocean Views & Modern Comfort!

Looking for a relaxing getaway? Our beautiful oceanfront condominium at Pajaro Dunes might be just the spot! Nestled on the top floor of the Shorebirds complex in building D, this cozy condo offers stunning, panoramic views of the Monterey Bay. With the waves crashing just outside your door, it’s the perfect place to wake up to breathtaking sunrises over Monterey. Whether you’re unwinding on the private patio or enjoying a peaceful night in, the natural beauty surrounding this home makes it hard to leave.

Inside, the condo is freshly updated with brand-new carpeting, a remodeled kitchen, and a top-of-the-line induction stove. The oceanfront Master Bedroom En-suite features a comfy King bed, while the second bedroom offers a Queen + Twin setup, perfect for families or a couple with kids. We tried to think of everything to ensure you have a comfortable stay, with fully equipped kitchen essentials, beautifully decorated interiors, and a serene, welcoming atmosphere.

But it's not just about the condo—Pajaro Dunes itself is a true gem. This gated, quiet beach community sits between Santa Cruz and Monterey along the stunning California coastline. Our resort spans across 550 homes and vacation rentals, and it's loaded with activities for all ages. There are tennis, pickleball, basketball, and volleyball courts on-site, as well as biking and walking paths to explore the area. And, of course, the highlight is the pristine, uncrowded beach stretching for miles, offering quiet, untouched beauty with panoramic views stretching from Pebble Beach to Santa Cruz.

Pajaro Dunes is a perfect blend of relaxation and fun, with something for everyone. Enjoy a round of pickleball or tennis, explore the beach and find sand dollars, or simply lounge and watch the seals, sea otters, and pelicans. It’s an ideal spot for both family vacations and couples’ retreats. Come experience the magic of Pajaro Dunes—where nature, comfort, and beauty all come together in one incredible place.

Peaceful, beautiful, romantic getaway

It was our first time staying at Pajaro Dunes, and it won't be the last. The resort is in a quiet, peaceful location with access to a pristine sandy beach. You can quickly get to Capitola, Santa Cruz, and many more sights. We wandered, collected shells, watched the waves, and enjoyed the quietude. We'll be back!

Comfortable stay

My adult children and I enjoyed our stay at this home. It was strategically located to Monterey and to events we were attending in Watsonville. Kitchen was well appointed. The cost exceeded the value of the property notwithstanding its location to the beach but I guess in todays environment that is the price we all pay when visiting anywhere in California.

Right off a clean uncrowded beach near San jose, the only thing we could have asked for was for no wind on our first day. Other than that beach conditions were great. Kind of secluded but only 20-30 mins away from Santa cruz, marina, and monterey. Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful property not to be missed. The views are incredible, the mattresses are comfortable, and there is plenty of seating. We had three, but it could accommodate four. Any more than that would be tight.

Even Better Than Expected

This is one of the nicest rental condos I have ever stayed in. It was super clean and the furnishings were in excellent condition. The decor was bright and cheerful, decorated in lovely shades of white, blue, gray and sage green. It really looked just like the photos! The view from the living room window is lovely! I would definitely return.

Great Location and views

The room was nice, everything we needed and an amazing view of the ocean. The downside, the property is very dated. I'm not sure any money has been reinvested in the place in the past 25 years besides pickleball courts. I would imagine this place was amazing in the 80's/90's. I feel since then property management collects the dues and that is all.

Dune-not have words to describe!

What a beautiful condo, and an even better view of the ocean! Clean, up to date, and comfortable stay. Thanks so much, we had a great vacation and loved all the comforts of home. Great linens, washer and dryer, grill, clean bathrooms and these great swivel chairs that can either be used to look out the window or inside the apartment. We loved being on the third floor, great view and we could leave the sliding doors open on the patio without worrying about someone coming in. Staff was super friendly and easy access to the beach was just perfect. Thanks again! Would highly recommend!!!

Fantastic stay right on he beach!

This was the perfect spot for my family of 3. Very bright, cozy and clean. Gorgeous views of the beach from the living room and master suite. 1 minute walk to an amazing stretch of beach. Nice big TV screen that pulls out for movie night. Comfortable beds. Very quiet and relaxed complex. We will go again! Only 2 suggestions would be water pressure in master bedroom shower is very low, perhaps a new shower head. And a blackout curtain for the other bedroom because the lights from the complex shine through all night (we put up a sheet in a pinch to help).
