Great house for 3 families

We had a great stay! We had 3 families so each got their own space when needed, but had the communal space (deck, living room, courtyard) to hang out in all the time. The hot tub was particularly nice. Only thing we didn’t realize was that there’s no direct beach access from the house. It’s very close, and just a short walk, but with a group of young kids we weren’t able to let them just run out onto the beach. Very happy with our stay overall

Amazing family vacation

We love house 42! Its beach views and living space are unmatched- room for the whole extended family to gather, play games, stare at the ocean, watch wildlife. We can cook and eat large family meals, and there’s room for the whole gang to sleep comfortably (10 adults and a baby, spanning four generations). The house is well appointed with everything we need. The hot tub is a gem. Greg and his team are great hosts and very responsive to questions. Highly recommend.

A perfect respite

We rented this house with another family to celebrate our daughter’s winter break birthday. We live nearby but felt like we were a million miles away during our stay at this amazing beachfront property. Everything in the description is accurate and there were no surprises. The house was very clean and well cared for. The view was incredible, especially with the winter sunsets. We enjoyed a fire in the pellet stove one night but we had good weather and didn’t really need a fire. The hot tub on the deck overlooking the ocean is priceless. I was absolutely amazed at how well stocked the house was. The kitchen has everything you need and more—multiple coffee pots, blender, kitchen aid mixer, pans, spices, serving platters galore, etc. Plus every room has multiple extra pillows and blankets and towels. Thank you for an amazing stay! I hope we will come back again!

Great location

This is the 2nd year our family has vacationed here. The views from the house and bedrooms are all beach and ocean. The deck is large with plenty of chairs and benches plus a very clean Hot Tub. Kitchen is fully stocked and you have easy access to the beach. House is super clean and there is plenty of room for everyone. It is exactly as described.

MAKING MEMORIES

From the moment we walked in through the outside door, we were so excited to be at this house. The entire house is so unique. We loved how the outdoor entrances made it seem like we had our own private areas, yet the sliding doors allowed us to be open to the family below. The outside deck was AMAZING! So many places to sit and enjoy the views. The kitchen had everything you could ever need to create a beautiful setting at the large dining table. We loved the fun and fancy glassware, along with the ice machine in the bar area. The extra house off the main house was a perfect spot for the families who needed a separate space with extra beds and a private bathroom. The path to the beach was right next to the home and parking was ideal. We have stayed in many homes at Pajaro where we had to walk a good distance in order to get to the main property. This location allowed us to park in the driveway and walk right in. I can't express enough how beautiful the views are in this property. The only downfall is if you are traveling with someone who may struggle with stairs. We didn't realize the bottom queen bed and bathroom was a pull out bed from the couch and not an additional bedroom. Overall, this was one of our favorite homes we have rented so far. Our family comes to Pajaro every year and we stay in a different house each time. I would definitely recommend this property!

House 43 Vacation 4th of July

Our family has spent the 4th of July at Pajaro Dunes every year since 1974. We've rented several homes over the years and House #42 is our favorite! The front deck facing the ocean is probably the best at Pajaro! The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are comfortable, and the spa is amazing. We also love having a garage! You'll love House 42!

About the host

We live in Moraga.

Why they chose this property

The home belonged to my wife's aunt who bought the home in 1973. When she passed in 1997 the family sold the home. We always would say "wouldn't it be nice to one day own a home like Aunt Esther had at Pajaro Dunes"? Fast forward to 2002 while surfing the net for homes for sale at Pajaro Dunes I noticed a picture of the deck and the description of the home and we we couldn't believe the house was for sale again. We bought it back right then and have had it in the family ever since. We are happy to share with others this unique home and all the memories that are created there.

What makes this property unique

Large great room right on the ocean
