Watsonville, California
Escape to Highclere, a luxury beachfront home with stunning bay views. You'll feel right at home in this comfortable almost 2,000 s.f., 4-bedroom, 3-bath home with a well-equipped kitchen and wood-burning fireplace. We recently refurnished Highclere with quality, high-end furniture.
We are located in Pajaro Dunes on Monterey Bay with an abundance of sea life; otters, dolphins, whales, sea lions, and many different bird species. The gated community of Pajaro Dunes amenities include three pickleball courts, five tennis courts, sand volleyball, basketball, and horseshoes. Highclere is a few minutes walk from beautiful Palm Beach. We provide several beach chairs, boogie boards, and beach towels for your use and enjoyment. We are conveniently located on Monterey Bay near world-class golf and charming seaside towns. Santa Cruz, Capitola, Monterey, and Carmel-by-the-Sea are all within 20 miles of this hidden gem.
Highclere comfortably sleeps eight with two en-suite primary king bedrooms on the upper, main level and two queen beds sharing a bath on the lower level; there are TVs in every bedroom Unfortunately, with our sweeping entry stairway and internal spiral stairway to the lower level, this is not an ideal home for those with mobility issues or young children.
The kitchen is well-appointed with double ovens, an induction cooktop, a bottom freezer fridge, and a microwave. We keep ample dishes and glassware on hand to adequately service your group. We supply plenty of paper products, coffee, firewood/starter logs, shampoo/conditioner, and body wash.
As you will see from the posted reviews, we strive to meet all of your expectations to earn your 5-star review.
High end house with better furnishings and supplies than any place I’ve rented ( 30-40 other houses). Great view, and can walk steps outside to dunes and beach. Only thing not perfect was that we couldn’t bring our dogs. Management (Carol) was super helpful and on top of any minor issue that we had. The kitchen, bbq, chairs on the dunes, and comfortable furnishings spell out that there really is no need to go anywhere else while you are here!!
Highclere was a great house for our annual family vacation that now includes grandpa and young adult kids. The kitchen was well appointed and the dining table comfortably accommodated 7! Comfy bed linens and extra beach towels. The property manager was super responsive to a few small questions. After years of renting in Aptos, I think we've found a new favorite in Pajaro Dunes.
We had an incredible stay in Pajaro Dunes. The house is absolutely amazing. Right on a beautiful beach. Adirondack chairs overlooking. Sea otters playing in the surf. Beautiful sunsets. This place is everything you want for a beach trip in this location.
This is a beautiful property. Elegant, but feels like home! So wonderful and easy to work with. Steps from the beach. Excellent view. Peaceful place.
This beautiful property is as pictured; gorgeous views, well equipped kitchen, plenty of seating for visiting & eating, easy beach access, safe neighborhood & easy entrance to resort, great long, uncrowded beach, cozy beds, loads of towels/soap/shampoo, beach chairs & boogie boards, great outdoor shower. Carol was responsive, friendly & helpful. It worked out well for our family.
We just spent a wonderful long weekend - such a beautiful location and truly gorgeous designer beach home. The stay exceeded our expectations in every way, from the amazing view and well designed fully stocked kitchen looking out to the beach, to the warm inviting vibes of the family room with great furniture, and super comfortable beds. We could not have been happier with our stay! Thank you for sharing your home - Hopefully we will be able to come back to Pajaro in the future!
We rented this house during a huge storm and enjoyed watching the weather from the coziness of the sofa in front of the large windows. This is a beautiful, light and bright, beachfront house with an amazing view! The property manager responded immediately with answers to questions, and was very accommodating. We loved this house and enjoyed the privacy and serenity of the dunes! What a getaway!
Great hosts that obviously cared about the guest experience. They provided great appliances and cookware, fire starter logs and extra firewood. The pictures don’t do the property justice, it is stunning. I would give 5 stars except for a few things. The Primary Suite had either been used and not cleaned, or used after it was cleaned. The sheets clearly were dirty and we had to wash them and remake the bed. The difference was obvious. The toilet lid was up with tissue left in it. The shower wasn’t clean either. The other thing that was a bit discomfiting was the amount of owners food in the refrigerator and clothes/shoes left in closets and drawers. It felt like we were in someone’s occupied space. Overall, it was spectacular.
Stunning home, perfectly appointed. Amazing location. Lovely Kitchen had everything we needed. Super comfortable beds. Loved the boogie boards and beach equipment. Beautiful sunsets. Had a fire every night. Highly recommend!
