What a beautiful and well-appointed space! Seamless from start to finish, with excellent quick communication from Sandy. The kitchen was the most well stocked we had ever seen in a rental with quality cookware and appliances, and my partner had a blast cooking multiple meals for us. The view from the living room and balcony was gorgeous and we enjoyed many evenings playing games as the sun set after a beach walk. Looking forward to our next trip!

The condo was clean, easy to access, beautiful surroundings and had everything we needed for the stay. Our family enjoyed a much needed vacation and found this gem! The sunrise and sunsets; walking on the beach watching the birds and collecting sand dollars washing ashore, just a few of our favorite memorable moments. Thank you Sandra for sharing your amenities with us!

About the host

Hosted by Sandy - Owner

Host profile image
My husband and I grew up in San Jose and frequently spent time in the Santa Cruz beach area. We moved to Grass Valley and raised our family in the country but found ourselves renting vacation homes at various beach areas in California a few times a year.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Pajaro Dunes because of its location situated right on the beach - not down a rugged cliff, and the warm weather of the area pretty much year-round. The best part about it is: It's not crowded!
It is surrounded by ocean on the one side and acres of beautiful farmland on the other. We are just physically steps from the sand with unsurpassed views of the Pacific Ocean, overlooking Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz.

What makes this property unique

Pajaro Dunes is truly a natural paradise of tranquility. We love watching the wildlife in their natural habitat such as pelicans, various sea birds, sea otters, dolphins, California gray whales/humpbacks/killer whales migrating to Alaska or Mexico. Every time we visit our condo we spot whales in the bay and identify a new seabird or a native blooming plant. We love taking advantage of the areas fresh caught seafood and the freshly picked fruits and vegetables.
We think Pajaro Dunes is simply magical!
