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.

Perfect place for a family vacation

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The location was absolutely wonderful—peaceful, convenient, and perfect for relaxing or exploring the area. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed, which made it feel like a home away from home. Each of the rooms was spacious and comfortable, giving everyone plenty of space to unwind. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay!

Great place, Great time!

We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful, comfortable, clean, and well stocked (kitchen utensils, games, dishes) get away. The condo is beautiful and quality. 6 of us found the place to be the perfect size. The location is primo-the access to the beach could not be any easier. We cooked all our meals in-found everything we needed. We recommend this wonderful place. Check in and out was a breeze. Sunset view out from inside the condo!

Pajaro Dunes

Our stay was very pleasant. The unit itself had everything we needed, was clean, nicely decorated, and felt very much like home. The owners were very communicative, very sweet, and accommodating. Our group totaled nine and it didn’t feel cramped at all. There was easy access to the beach and the community is very quiet. We very much liked our stay and we love to stay there again.

Excellent holiday home

We have been in this holiday home with a friends group of 9 people and everything was so nice. The terrace was located so that you had the feeling to be alone there and also the beach was a dream! Since it was a private beach it is very empty there. All in all a perfect stay in a perfectly equipped and beautifully furnished holiday home. We had a great time and can highly recommend it!

Monterey Bay Vacation

Nicely situated on the beach midway between Santa Cruz to the north and Monterey to the south. The beach is lovely. The overall condo complex is very nice. This particular condo was private and quiet. We had everything we needed for a 5 night stay. Shopping is readily available in Watsonville. I would return to this complex and this condo in the future.

Amazing

I Booked this condo for an annual girls trip that we do every year. Not only was it amazing it was superb! Such a beautiful condo, with all amenities and so close to the beach. We had one of the best times ever! I would recommend this place over and over. We're actually talking about reserving it for next year's annual girls trip. Usually we pick a new place every year, but we were so impressed with this one that we might just have to come again next year. Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with us. You may just get our reservation next year for our annual girls trip.

Girls trip 2023

We had an amazing stay at Aline’s property. I love Pajaro dues and we stay there once a year. This is the first time we have stayed in this unit and we loved it. It was very peaceful and way more roomy than I thought it would be for our group of 8 girls. The condo is on the end of the units and very private. It is immaculate , beds were very comfortable and the condo had everything that you would need to cook great meals. We would rent again in a heartbeat.

Lovely Condo in the Dunes

This was a perfect condo for our family of 7 adults and 1 toddler. Convenient floor plan for visiting, sleeping and eating. The condo was well equipped with linens, towels, blankets, kitchen items etc. Very quiet, lovely view of the dunes, easy walk to a great beach. We were very happy with our stay! We would recommend this to anyone. We were in the area for a family event in the Carmel Valley and at Rio Del Mar Beach. Perfect location for both events.

Fun family home

The house is very well maintained and well stocked with games and outdoor items. The beach is very close and it is in a nice location to check things out like the Aquarium in Monterey or a quick drive to Santa Cruz. It was exactly what we needed. There isn't a ton of things immediately close by and the amenities like the basketball and tennis are a little run down, but don't really need those things with the beach so close. Internet is a little spotty and didn't work as well when we were there, but we were pretty busy with activities that it wasn't too much of a bother. Definitely recommend for a family trip.

Nice Condo, Good Location

The condo was as advertised. At approximately 1500 square feet it was adequate for our extended family of 8. The one downside, which was not the owner's fault, was that for 3 bedrooms there should be three bathrooms with our group. (in the future I will take this into account.) For a smaller group this should not be a problem. While not advertised as ADA compliant, being on the first floor made the stay comfortable for two in our group who were mobility challenged. The setting is wonderful. This property is worthy of serious consideration for your travel plans.

Just perfect.

This property was even more perfect than we imagined. We needed a place that a group of us traveling from out of town could stay and a place that would be appropriate for a small (20ppl) birthday celebration I was throwing for a friend. I reached out to the owner and she responded “sounds like fun”. The condo has 3 separate bedrooms and a pullout couch. The living room/dining room/kitchen area is an open space and perfect for a small gathering. The pantry was fully stocked and then some. Aline was so responsive and helpful in answering all my questions up until the day of my reservation. The beach and dunes are gorgeous with a wooden walkway that takes you from the front door to the ocean in less than a minute. I would certainly stay again and my friend was already making plans to come back over the summer for her son’s birthday weekend.

Very tired, smelly and dirty

We had such high hopes for staying at this property but unfortunately it was a fairly disappointing stay. There were long gray hairs in the pantry (not ours), there was dried food on the walls around the trash can in the pantry, most windows were FILTHY, both inside and out (I'm talking some type of long streaks of something, perhaps from a child, on the inside sliding glass door in the master bedroom), the patio furniture was dirty from the previous guest(s), only one of the bathrooms had soap and lastly, the pantry had large grey chunks of dirty (?) on the interior door. We also felt the pantry wasn't stock - we felt it obviously was a collecting place for all the food the previous renters decided to leave. The outside walkways were dirty and the area you use to rinse the beach sand from your feet had algae growing in it making it unusable. I'm sure this property was a gem back in the 80's or 90's but now not so much. I wish I could post the pics I took so you all could see but I don't see that option.

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.
