About the host
Hosted by Mary
Hi there! We're a California-based family who fell in love with the peaceful beauty of Pajaro Dunes and the Monterey Bay coast. We’ve always enjoyed exploring local beaches, hiking scenic trails, and spending quality time with loved ones by the ocean. Hosting allows us to share that joy with others—whether you're here for relaxation, adventure, or a little bit of both. We’ve thoughtfully stocked our beach home to make sure you feel comfortable, welcome, and right at home.
We look forward to being part of your next unforgettable getaway!

Why they chose this property
Imagine waking up to the sound of waves crashing just outside your window, sipping coffee on the balcony with a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean. That’s everyday life at Pajaro Dunes—a quiet, gated beachfront community tucked between Santa Cruz and Monterey.
What we love most about this neighborhood is its peaceful, untouched feel. There are no busy streets or crowds—just miles of soft sandy beach, natural dunes, and incredible sunsets. It’s a perfect place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and spend quality time with family and friends.
The area is great for beach walks, bird watching, and stargazing on clear nights. And when you’re ready to explore, you’re just a short drive from local favorites like Capitola’s charming shops and restaurants, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, and the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Pajaro Dunes is truly a hidden gem—and we love sharing it with our guests.
