Enjoy a relaxing 'stay-cation' in our gated community which offers 24/7 on site security, private beaches, and natural wonders.

Pelican 55 is a lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bath home on the first floor with direct access to the beach. This was originally a 3 bedroom home, recently remodeled to allow more open & spacious living areas. Our covered patio and living room’s large windows face toward Monterey, giving you a full view of the Pajaro River, the ocean and lots of seabirds & wildlife. Ocean waves can be seen making their way up the wide beach, too. Step off the patio to the boardwalk and a short walk to the beach. You'll find the beach is pristine and quiet - your own oasis! Because we face southwest, we enjoy beautiful sunrises over the river while avoiding the uncomfortable winds often found in the evening at sunset. When it cools down, electric heat keeps you warm. There is also a bird sanctuary about 25 yards away protecting the rare birds.
If you are up for more than sunning on the beach, there are a number of activities such as biking, jogging, world famous golf, kayaking, surfing, whale watching, and scuba diving available in the area. There are tennis, sand volleyball, and basketball courts on the premises.
Santa Cruz is a short drive away and great fun for the kids and the young at heart. Don’t forget the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Fisherman's Wharf, Cannery Row, and the great restaurants in Monterey, as well as great restaurants and shops just a few miles away in Moss Landing. Carmel and Big Sur are wonderful day trips as well! You can buy fresh fish at Moss Landing for preparing in our fully equipped kitchen.

lovely trip. grand kids love the ocean, as do I. good for the soul.
Overall fantastic. There is a little mold around the plunger in the master bathroom.
My wife and two adult children enjoyed our stay at Pajaro Dunes. The condo was well equipped and in good condition. The proximity to the ocean was great. Having the pickle ball courts on-hand was a hit. The location is convenient for visits north and south. We spent time in Monterey, Big Sur, and Henry Cowell State Park, as well as Pajaro Dunes. Even though some activities were limited due to the heavy rains this year, we still found plenty to do and enjoy.
We enjoyed our stay. The weather was beautiful. We walked to the beach easily and used the provided beach chairs. We were disappointed that the BBQ availability had changed recently. No barbecuing is allowed. Other than that a nice time at the beach.
beautiful condo
Nice trip!
This was a beautiful place to stay especially if you want coziness mixed with lots of original artwork and a house filled with all you might need. It faces the marsh, bird area, but the ocean is just a minute walk down the board path and over a small dune. Great place!
Clean, close to the sand..very enjoyable.
It is a nice property with all the comforts of home. Pajaro Dunes stated there is a Mr. Coffee like coffee maker & it does, but this unit also has a Kurig. There beds were really comfortable. I was very impressed with the quality of the pours and pans in the kitchen, usually vaca rentals have the worst cookware. We couldn’t see the ocean from this unit, so that was a little disappointing. It is a quick walk to get to the beach. The location is great to get to Santa a Cruz and Monterey.
Great spot for kids with easy access to the beach. With a wonderful view of the Pajaro River we all loved watching, with the provided binoculars, hundreds of white and brown pelicans resting and feeding right in front of us. Amazing beach that goes on forever.
We had an overall great experience staying at this condo. We would definitely return. A few issues to address, but it did not affect our stay. For your information: Gas tank for grill was empty. Light in bathroom off master bedroom was out. Toaster only toasts one side. One blind does not go up and down. Check in process was a little confusing for us. A short explanation on this would help. Ex. Park by gate and walk through to office to check in. Office is not clearly marked and this was our first time here.
