Welcome to Pajaro Dunes Resort, Shorebirds gated community. Located on the top level of the building (third floor, stairs required), this beautifully remodeled 1 bedroom, oceanfront condo comfortably sleeps 2 adults and offers stunning Monterey Bay views, including unforgettable sunrises over the water. The primary bedroom features an exceptionally comfortable Queen-size bed and direct access to the ocean-side deck, creating a peaceful retreat just steps above the sand.

The living room includes a 43” Smart TV with cable and streaming capabilities, perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. The bathroom has been thoughtfully updated with a walk-in shower, heated tile floors, and a touchless faucet for added comfort.

Set in a perfectly calm and secluded setting, this luxurious beach condo is ideally located on Monterey Bay between Santa Cruz and Carmel—an ideal adult getaway designed for rest and relaxation. Miles of pristine beach invite long walks, sandcastle building, dolphin and whale watching, or simply curling up by the fireplace with a good book while listening to the waves crash along the shore. After a breathtaking sunset, gather around a beach bonfire and look for shooting stars beneath the sparkling night sky.

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy birdwatching in the nearby lagoons, hiking the coastal bluffs, tennis courts, and scenic jogging paths winding through the dunes.

All pillows, linens, bath towels, and beach towels are provided. The fully equipped kitchen includes cookware, bakeware, small appliances, a microwave, and dishwasher, and an in-home washer and dryer are available for guest use.

This premium condo offers remodeled upgrades throughout, providing a stylish and comfortable home right above the sand.

Parking is plentiful and located just steps from the front door. Luggage carts are available to assist from the ground to the second level, followed by a short flight of stairs to the condo. The beach is just a short 30-second walk away, with approximately ten steps down to the sand.

Relax, recharge, and enjoy the best of the Central Coast from your own oceanfront escape at Pajaro Dunes.

    This unit was absolutely amazing! Steps from the beach, away from all the hustle and bustle but still close enough to not dread the car ride. Check-in was easy and the staff was incredibly kind. Unit itself was clean and everything in working order. The views are amazing from the main room and bedroom. Thank you!

    The location was fantastic with ocean front views, front and center and on the top floor!! However, a grill for BBQ'ing the local catch was missing and could use some updating. But the location and views are PRIME... and quiet. Felt like we were the only ones there.

    My husband and I really enjoyed our stay! The ocean views were lovely and falling asleep to the sound of waves was fantastic. Everyone working in the property office and security gate were so polite and welcoming. If you’re looking for a place to stay that is away from city life but near plenty of places for day trips, I highly recommend!

    This is one of my favorite properties at Pajaro Dunes! Top floor, direct ocean view, classy and clean condo, and very peaceful. Property management was professional and service oriented. Can't wait to book again!

    After hours check-in was a challenge. Initially, there was no one at the gate. I had to call for help. Directions to the unit wasn't very clear. They got us to the building, but we had to look around in the dark until we found our unit. The rest of our stay was excellent. Loved, loved the ocean view.

    I stayed in Shorebirds in a 1 bedroom top floor condo facing the sea. There is 1 flight of stairs to walk up, but it is worth it for the view and the open air above you when you are on the balcony. The inside was beautifully decorated and the furniture and fittings were in good order. The bathroom was particularly tasteful. All in all, a very comfortable condo with superb views; there were even sea otters visible from the balcony only a few feet from the beach. I stayed in early June so it was not busy, however someone close by kept slamming a door one day and the noise and vibration were easily heard and felt in my condo so that may be an issue at busy periods. Although no glass is allowed on the beach, I found (and removed) broken bottles on two separate days; a shame because it is a lovely long beach to walk on.
