About this property

Pajaro Dunes Resort: 2 Bedroom Updated & Cozy Beach Condo

Come enjoy our updated Shorebirds condo at Pajaro Dunes Resort. Professional managed - Professionally Sanitized with On Site care. Right on the beach!
This condo has amazing views facing the Monterey Bay - Great for Sunrises. Our home is updated with fresh new paint and new carpeting throughout. We wanted our condo to feel like home, yet feel like a beach escape, as well. Our condo is fully equipped with new furniture and a 40 inch TV in the living room. We are in a gated community close to shopping, golf, exploring and surf. Step out your patio door and listen to the ocean waves.

Our home is on the beach level - so no stairs to climb. Just walk out to the beach and enjoy! There is a King bed in the master and a Queen & Twin bed in the guest room. Great for a family getaway or couples retreat.

Spend family fun playing Pickle Ball, tennis or basketball with courts located on site. Stop by our lobby where we offer an assortment of loaner sports equipment for our renters including pickle ball sets! Please be advised the fireplace in this home cannot be used until further notice.

Great time

We loved this apartment at Pajaro, being so close to the beach was perfect and the property is very comfortable with everything we needed. The beach is beautiful, our kids loved boogie boarding (you can borrow boards from the reception) and we had a fire on the beach and toasted marshmallows at sunset. You can buy everything you need for this from reception too!

Great location, relaxing stay

Great location and relaxing stay for the family. Small ground level outdoor space on the dunes with lots of shells was fun for kids to enjoy. Easy beach access just 2 doors away, easy to just post here all day and enjoy the beach. Minor note to travelers: A bit antiquated on the entertainment front. Older TV and basic cable with no streaming. Not that you want to spend your time watching TV but it’d be a nice way to unwind after dark when it’s too cold to enjoy the outdoor area.

Great condo with access to the beach and great location

It was a great location close to Monterey and Moss Landing. The condo itself is nice and clean with all the amenities. I especially like the fact that it's so close to the beach! We came with our one year old, so having easy access was very convenient! Will definitely stay here again!

Great stay!

This is a wonderful property very close to the beach. We wish the unit had more updated cabinetry, appliances, fixtures, etc. The dining furniture is made of wood which doesn’t slide on the carpet well so getting in and out of the chairs was more effort. Also, if the outdoor furniture was upgraded we would have enjoyed the outside space a little more. Despite all of these things, we still enjoyed our trip to Pajaro Dunes.

Annual Beach Fun

This was a great place to stay. Comfortable, and an easy access to the beach for kids and gear. Had our first bonfire with s'mores. What can be better than that! A suggestion: a table on the patio would be a nice addition to go with the chairs. Thank you for everything. See you next year.

Enjoyed our stay

The property had great location. As other reviewers have mentioned that the guest bathroom does not drain properly. It fills up quickly while using the shower and takes about 30 minutes to drain. The condo was clean and had plenty of towels and pillows/bedding/blankets. The condo does have an ant problem and other creatures all through out the condo. But they had traps set up and luckily we did not have small children to worry about with the traps. Overall, we would return and enjoyed our stay.

Perfection.

This is our second stay at this resort, and during our stay we booked another. I’m almost hesitant to write a great review, in fear that more people will hear about this gem and it will lose its quiet, secluded charm! Absolutely ideal for young kids, my 2 and 3 year old had the time of their lives. We will come back every year.

Clean Condo needs some TLC

The condominium was clean and on the Dunes as described. We were disappointed in the way it was outfitted. Our party was 4 adults. There were only 2 large glasses many wine glasses and a few juice glasses. No salt and pepper. No napkins. No wood or logs for the fireplace. We made ice with ice trays. However, my husband and I are old enough to remember how to do that. The dryer didn't really work. We didn't use it until the last day. So we don't know if the property manager could have helped us. The showers provided nice hot water but the appliances were dated. Note that we have rented Pajaro Dunes condominiums for more than 20+ years, so we are very familiar with the houses, Pelican Bay and Shorebirds. This place needs some updating.

Quiet and Well equipped

Very quiet, serene and private. We really enjoyed the close proximity to the beach and the dunes. Plan to stock the fridge for meals, the kitchen is very well equipped and stocked. Eating out will be a drive, but we really enjoyed all of the fresh produce stands and farms around us. The dunes were very pretty.

This was the perfect getaway for a few of my girlfriends and I to decompress and relax. The condo was beautifully decorated and large enough to host me and a few girlfriends. The condo has everything we needed for a comfortable stay for a few days. You can’t beat the one minute it takes to access the beach. The front staff were friendly and very helpful. This was a great quiet oasis for a beach getaway. I would highly recommend staying here and will do again soon.
