The unobstructed view of the ocean waves takes your breath away from the moment you walk through the front door. Let’s face it, that’s what you’re here for, so put your bags down, and take it in for a while from the living room or balcony. Keep an eye open for occasional sightings of an otter drifting by, dolphins riding the surf, and perhaps even whales! Enjoy the frequent visits from the sweet hummingbirds that come to drink from our feeders on the balcony. This clean andcomfortable condo is located on the third floor, facing West for spectacular sunsets.

You will also enjoy the beautiful furnishings and decor in the interior of the condo during your stay. The master bedroom shares the ocean view, with access to the balcony, and has a California king size bed with a goose down mattress topper and goose down pillows. The second bedroom has two queen size beds with goose down pillows.

Take a short drive to dine out in Aptos, Capitola or Moss Landing, or grill up your own delicacies on the BBQ. Enjoy a cozy evening by the wood burning fireplace, catch your favorite movie on the flat screen T.V. hooked up with cable and/or the Blu Ray DVD player, have some laughs over the plentiful stock of games, and stay connected with free Wi-Fi.

Pajaro Dunes Resort is nestled approximately 20 miles south of Santa Cruz, and 30 miles north of Monterey. Located at Sunset State Beach, you can enjoy long strolls to Manresa State Beach and beyond. Spend a fun-filled day kayaking with the otters at Moss Landing, just a ten minute drive. Boogey board, surf or fish right outside the condo. Watch the extensive variety of birds while strolling around the Shorebirds pond, or enjoy a friendly game of tennis, pickleball, or basketball on this beautiful and peaceful property.

    Wonderful! Just what we were looking for and literally right on the beach, with amazing views from both the living room and master bedroom. The location in Pajaro Dunes was close to all of the places we wanted to go (Monterey, Santa Cruz, Big Sur, Redwoods, etc.) but still secluded, serene, and peaceful. The condo was clean, fully stocked, and everything was provided.

    This property is very family friendly. We love to cook and the kitchen and beach supplies including towels are well equipped. We enjoyed how quiet it was, easy beach access and spectacular views. We took long walks every day. Condo is on the third floor and is accessible by using the stairs only. Property has a little store and gift shop just in case you forget to bring something, prices aren’t bad. Staff are also friendly. I recommend doing your shopping for food and supplies prior to arriving. Wonderful berry stand across from Starbucks next to Chevron. We purchased fruit there to enjoy during our trip and on our way home. This is the perfect spot if you want an excuse to rest and relax. Don’t forget to do tasting at Martinelli’s down the street. We hope to visit again.

    We had a wonderful time as a family of 2 adults and 2 teens. The ocean view in the main room and master bedroom is absolutely beautiful and being able to hear the ocean waves while sleeping was amazing. The condo is equipped with all supplies needed and is located nearby everything. 10/10 experience !

    The condo was clean, quiet and safe. We had easy beach access….literally just steps away from a clean and quiet beach. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean Great value for the money. My only advice is the 2nd bedroom is probably best for kids and not adults, as the mattresses were pretty firm. Regardless, we had THE BEST time. Would stay here again! Sally is a great and responsive host :)

    Beautiful location and most everything you need to enjoy your stay. We would do it again in a heartbeat. For those looking for ADA info, it is only 1 set of stairs, not 3 as you would assume for a 3rd floor, but the treds are a bit rounded. Also, the step out of both the tub and shower is a BIG step down without grab bars. Many of the pillows are down feather for those who care. Sally was wonderful about ensuring that the place was clear of strong chemicals before we arrived. Thanks, Sally

    Frequent renter (rated as 5.0 renter) at Shorebirds and Pelican Point for 20 years. This unit has a decent sunset location, but you'll need to stand in the front corner of the balcony to see it outside during the winter. You'll need to carry your bags up from the 2nd floor to the 3rd as well. The master bed is quite comfortable. Beach access is excellent.BE PREPARED - The carpet is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in a rental - it's light colored with dozens of large black stains.The unit badly lacks cooking hardware and software. No measuring cup(s), no grater, no spices other than s&p, size and lid challenged pots and pans, no baking hardware of any kind, no foil, no baggies, no plastic wrap, no napkins, no plastic storage containers, and worst of all --SINGLE PLY TOILET PAPER and really cheap paper towels. This unit does not offer Spectrum Cable - which many units at Pajaro use. You need to have your Streaming game to enjoy either tv. There are no USB Ports or power strips accessible anywhere, including the bedroom. Also, be careful arount the curtain/rod in the bedroom - it fell on my head. It was screwed about one thread past the drywall. I bought screws/screwdriver to fix it above the door handle to the left, didnt want to mess with the funky solution they screwed into the right side. Also, the towel bar holders in each bathroom are installed wrong and fall to the ground.Many units in this price range have much better amenities and cleanliness.

    The only negative was that there was no response to me from the host. I had trouble connecting my computer to the wifi. The password given in the instructions was different from what was noted on the router. I tried all combinations with no luck. I emailed the host to confirm the password and network name with no response. I had to use my phone as my hot spot causing me data costs. no good concerning the cost. I won't use or suggest this location.

    There to celebrate mom’s 90th birthday. The stairs were hard for her to walk up, but that was part of the description. Also the shower was hard for her to get in and out of. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

    Loved the location and view of this property. We had rented this condo a couple of years ago for a family reunion with family from Missouri. So when family from Texas wanted to do a reunion, we decided to rent the same spot. You could literally watch the sunset from the living room if you wanted to- but we preferred to experience it from the beach. Our family was amazed when they walked in and saw the view from the living room window. The unit was well furnished and we felt right at home for our stay. We prefer to do most meals at the condo- but did also experience some of the local restaurants during our stay- as well, which were wonderful, as well.

    I think this home should be advertised for couples. The primary bedroom is the only one worth the price. The back bedroom was terrible. The beds were very uncomfortable, can’t see or hear the ocean and the mattresses were covered in plastic. Maybe ok for kids.
