About this property

Beach Condo, 3 Bedrooms/2 Bath, Sleeps 9 Private Corner Patio Views of Dunes

This spacious and beautifully remodeled Pajaro Dunes beach condo features luxurious accommodations in a perfectly tranquil setting. Ideally located on Monterey Bay between Santa Cruz and Carmel, this ocean oasis offers the perfect family getaway or relaxing adult haven.
The miles of private beach are perfect for building sandcastles, dolphin and whale-watching, or getting lost in a good book while listening to the waves crash on the shore. After a breathtaking sunset, cozy up around a beach bonfire and spot a shooting star beneath the sparkling night sky.
Outdoor enthusiasts love bird watching in the lagoons and hiking in the bluffs, and fitness mavens enjoy the tennis facilities and jogging through the nature paths.
The gorgeously furnished and remodeled 3-bedroom condo comfortably sleeps 9 adults. The master bedroom features an un-suite bathroom, direct access to the rear deck, a flat screen television, and an extremely comfortable king-size bed. The 2 additional bedrooms offer a queen bed, and a full/twin bunk bed, respectively, both with flat screen televisions. The sofa bed offers a brand new queen-sized memory foam mattress for extra sleeping accommodations.
All pillows, linens, towels and beach towels are provided, and the kitchen is fully supplied with dining-ware service for 12+, cookware, bakeware, tupperware, small appliances, a microwave, dishwasher, and a generously-stocked pantry with spices and oils for your convenience. The washer/dryer is also available to all guests. An electric barbecue grill is located on the rear deck for grilling.
Parking is plentiful, and is steps from the front door. The condo is on the ground floor, so there are no steps to climb up with groceries or luggage! It is situated on the north end of the building, and the sand is down a short, 30-second walkway and approximately 10 steps down.
Things to do around Monterey Bay:
For the curious – we encourage you to visit The Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Mission at Carmel or the Mission at San Juan Bautista, Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, or downtown Carmel.
For the connoisseurs – you'll want to schedule time for wine tasting at the many wonderful wineries found along the Monterey Coast (including Bonny Doon Vineyard, Soquel Vineyards, and Estancia), or satisfy your taste buds for fresh seafood and locally-grown vegetables at any one of a myriad of nearby restaurants and produce markets.
For the shoppers – there are literally hundreds of charming boutiques and stores throughout Santa Cruz, Capitola, Monterey, and Carmel.
For the sports enthusiasts – there is tennis, biking, and beach volleyball right here at Pajaro Dunes, plus some of Northern California's premier golf courses are an easy drive away.
For the contented – stretch yourself out on the warm beaches of Pajaro Dunes, enjoy the cool ocean breezes, and make sure you take in one of our serene suns.

Location was great, and unit was clean. Only thing that could be improved would be to put screens on the two sliders off the bedrooms. It got a bit stuffy at night. Other than that, we had a great time relaxing in the dunes!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The condo was lovely. Spacious in the common area for our family of 7 (5 teens). Beds were comfortable for all. The patio had comfortable table/chairs, isolated from people but could still hear the ocean waves well, which was very peaceful. Found out the door locks behind you when you leave, so take the key! The sliding glass doors in the common area were not in the best shape, making them difficult to utilize; the two in the bedrooms don’t have screens, none of the windows open, so it can get quite warm during the day, but opening the two doors in the common area with screens gets a nice cross breeze going & cools things down. It was always comfortable & cool in the evening. It was a struggle to carry the Adirondack chairs to the beach, but we were thankful to have them available. It also would’ve been a nice touch to have beach towels available for those travelers that are flying & have to pack sparingly. We weren’t expecting to have to bring those, but we are also first time VRBO renters, so this could be common. The beach was beautiful, clean, and never crowded which was one of the best parts! There were no bath linens to spare; it would’ve been nice to have a couple extra, but we were able to do laundry as needed to accommodate. None of these things would ever be deal breakers. We would return to this property repeatedly and highly recommend it. It was a wonderful first VRBO experience for us! We did love it!

Thank you so much for staying at our property, and we truly appreciate the thoughtful and detailed feedback you provided. We’re thrilled to hear that your family of 7, including the five teens, had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the spacious condo, comfortable beds, peaceful patio, and especially the beautiful, uncrowded beach. It means so much to hear that this was a great first VRBO experience for your family and that you would return and recommend our property! We also appreciate you bringing the maintenance items to our attention. Regarding the screens, we have requested two additional sliding screen doors for the bedroom sliding glass doors. These need to be ordered through the HOA, and we hope to have them installed soon. All of the other sliding windows and screen doors have been adequately oiled and are working as expected. We were also surprised to hear about the lack of beach towels and extra linens. After receiving your feedback, I contacted our cleaners and asked them to send a picture of the linen closet after your group had departed. There were beach towels and extra linens available in the closet, so you may have simply missed them or not realized they were there. We always make sure to keep beach towels and extra linens available for our guests. Thank you again for taking the time to share both the positive comments and the helpful suggestions. We’re so glad you loved the property, and we would be delighted to welcome you and your family back anytime!

About the host

Hosted by Aline Marshall

Host profile image
Hello, thank you for looking at our listing! We are the proud owners of Shorebirds #285. We chose Pajaro Dunes for its spectacular beauty and proximity to our primary residence. This has been a special place for our family and the memories we will forever cherish.

Why they chose this property

Pajaro Dunes is a gated beach community located near all of the towns that we enjoy to visit when we are not hanging out at our beach. We are close to Carmel, Carmel Valley, Pacific Grove, Santa Cruz, Big Sur, Monterey, Half Moon Bay, Pacifica, and San Francisco. This private beach is truly an oasis and the sunsets are nothing short of spectacular!

What makes this property unique

Our unit is in the northernmost building, on the end. This provides our unit in particular with complete privacy and spectacular nature views. You do not see any neighboring units from inside the condo - just beautiful beach dunes and cypress trees.
