Pura Vida (poo-rah vee-dah) means simple life or pure life. Pura Vida is the philosophy of life in Costa Rica... it is an emotion, an attitude ... it’s happiness in its purest form.

House 7 aims to bring the Pura Vida life to Pajaro Dunes and Monterey Bay, with a wonderful four-bedroom beach home where you feel your cares melt away. The home promotes a happy mood with its light yellow walls and peacefulness and balance with its soothing furnishings in taupe, gray, and rich wood. It is fresh, clean and ready after a complete remodel!

This home is outfitted perfectly either for families to share, or for groups of adults to get away. It has four private bedrooms and can easily host four couples (2 K, 2 Q). For families, it offers flexible options for sleeping adults and kids in 10 separate beds (2K, 2Q, 4T bunks, 2 T floor mattresses) in 4 proper bedrooms. This home can accommodate up to 12 adults/children total.

7 Sanderling has FULL OCEAN VIEWS from the living area, kitchen, master bedroom, back deck. Out the back door is a wonderful bluff with lounge chairs for afternoons spent chatting, spotting dolphins, seals and perhaps even whales. A clever parent can make a contest out of food and beverage service, ensuring a steady stream of little helpers bringing goodies to the grown ups in the lounge chairs!

The ping pong atrium is beyond! A NEW gorgeous ping pong topper, surrounded by pub tables, stools, a cool glass atrium and ocean views is custom made for hanging out and socializing day and night. (NO pool table).

This two-story home is appropriate for grandparents or anyone with physical challenges who can climb one set of stairs then stay put on the top level. The approach to the home from the parking area is perfectly flat, then climb one set of stairs to the top floor of the home, and with 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms right on that main upstairs living level. The other 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom are downstairs and away from the main living area.

The main living level upstairs includes:
- open kitchen with electric ceramic flat-top range and microwave
- Large ocean-view deck with two sets of outdoor tables, chairs+benches for 12, and patio umbrellas
- Path to panoramic view bluff at edge of sea wall, bench and 2 lounge chairs
- Dining area (seats 12 at dining table and breakfast bar)
- Living room area with huge, new Smart TV
- 2 King bedrooms both with private bathrooms (one with soaking tub), and TVs (no bidets/washlets)
- Hall half-bathroom with sink and toilet
- Amazing center atrium LOUNGE with pool table (beat up) under a NEW regulation ping pong topper, adjoining kitchen and living area with pub tables/stools and its own tv

The downstairs level includes:
- Bunk room with Queen bed plus two sets of twin bunkbeds plus two twin floor mattresses, also with slider directly to back deck with beach grass view.
- Queen bedroom with slider directly to back deck with beach grass view
- Shared, large full bathroom with shower *and* tub
- Washer/dryer

While the deck and view from this oceanfront home are perched right over the beach, none of the homes at Pajaro Dunes have direct access to the beach due to a 10' high granite sea wall below the dune. The actual beach access takes two minutes down a short boardwalk from the front door of the home -- just two houses over and one set of stairs down to the beach.

Checkout tasks: strip sheets and towels; take out trash and unused food; wash and put away kitchenware; lights and heat off and doors and windows locked. See contract for checklist.

Electronic signature required on rental contract, and $300 security hold will be run prior to arrival.
Security camera views outdoor entry space that is also visible by public.
Pajaro Dunes does not allow pets and we strictly enforce this.
Bonfires also are not allowed on beach or property.
We enforce the same headcount maximum day AND night with no extra visitors.
We do not host events or gatherings beyond the person maximum (all adults/kids included). Any guests renting multiple homes should NOT plan on renting this house, it does not participate in multiple home situations where a group spreads out into different homes.

    Excellent ocean view and access to the beach. This house has it all. The bedrooms were all comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. Lots of family space. Great open kitchen. The perfect place for vacation with family. Anytime we had a question the host addressed it right away. If you want to stay on the beach this is the place for you!

    The host was excellent and thoughtful making sure we had everything we needed. The house is beautiful and very clean. Wonderful view right on the beach. Nice outdoor sitting area on the dunes overlooking the beach. Upstairs with two bedrooms and 2&1/2 bathrooms was very nice for the two single people while the downstairs with 2 bedrooms and a full bath worked out great for a family with young children. 6 TV’s in this house!! Loved our stay here.

    Great place, terrific location, good facilities. Didn't particularly like the management company -- confining us to no more than 5 people and three cars, when we were renting a place advertized to sleep 12. Plus no hot water when we arrived, which was quickly resolved, so they are on the job, just kind of preemptive and unpleasant. Also couldn't figure out how to use the Raku TV though they said to call if we needed help. I didn't feel like calling them to get talked through a technical issue, so we just didn't watch the movies we were planning to stream. Got the sense that they were trying to make their jobs easier rather than making our stay more pleasant.

    The location of the house was amazing! The size was perfect. We had a really nice stay! However, it is a pricy property so for this price, my recommendations for the house include1. The washing machine is in need of replacement. The mildew smell coming from the laundry room permeated the entire downstairs so that was unfortunate. 2. The frying pans had burnt on grease. All they need is a good scrub so that the guest is not required to do it.3. The upstairs does not get a lot of ventilation so it gets very hot from 3-6. The fan in the window does not work. I recommend getting overhead fans as well as shades in the kitchen area to block out the direct sunlight. It is difficult to be putting a full meal together in the direct sun and heat. 4. The property manager was rude. The owner of the house should know this. We grew up going to Pajaro. My parents used Holtzman and Daw for 2 decades and never had an issue. I had reasonable questions and she came back on fire! I get that she has run into high maintenance renters with nefarious intentions however she shouldn’t assume all renters are like that. She needs to read the request/ comment, take a beat, and then respond. She is in hospitality but certainly doesn’t make you feel like you can request something without a diatribe response. I’d be happy to provide additional details if you’d like. Overall we had a great time. It was just unfortunate that my blood pressure had to spike during these comms with the property mgr.

    Loved the house. 6 adults, 3 kids under 12, 1 teen (14), and 1 infant. The great room accommodated all of us very comfortably. Fabulous view and sunsets. House sits up high, access to beach a short board walk away. There are stairs in the house and to the beach, that would be a challenge for some, so needs to be considered. Well stocked with basic kitchen needs. Pickle ball, tennis courts are very nice but not close to house. We enjoyed our family get together very much.

    We had a great long weekend away at the beach. The house is roomy, views of the ocean are amazing with beach access very close. A great kitchen to cook and entertain with comfortable seating in the family room. The only negative was the power went out one evening but we made do. A couple areas to improve are the bed mattress and the outdoor area.

    Absolutely loved our stay in Pajaro Dunes – we went for a few days over the new year. Up on the bluff overlooking the bay, the spacious main room had a wall of windows with a spectacular view of the water. We had originally planned a couple of day trips (maybe Monterey, redwoods), but loved the place and wound up staying on-property the entire time. Very well-equipped kitchen, great space for lounging with a large TV, big table for meals and playing games, great outdoor seating on the porch and the bluff. The ping-pong table was a huge hit, it got quite a workout (there's a pool table underneath that never saw the light of day ). Plus nothing beats falling asleep and waking up to the crashing surf.You walk over a couple of houses for the stairway down to the long beach. We walked about 10 min. down the road to the pickleball and tennis courts, which look fairly new. Wifi was strong, we logged into our streaming accounts on the TV. The house was spotless, check-in was a breeze with a lockbox near the front door. Have to mention the heated Toto 'bidet' toilet seats in the two upstairs bedrooms were a big hit.The property manager, Stacey was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable about the area, had some great tips, answered a number of questions before we booked.All in all, a wonderful spot for a family trip.
