About this property

Pajaro Dunes Resort Brand New Rental Premium 2 Bedroom Beach Condo

Perfect location for a relaxed beach getaway, yet close enough to enjoy a little piece of both Santa Cruz and Monterey County. This condo has amazing views facing Santa Cruz - Great for Sunsets! New beautiful floors, updated kitchen, modern bathroom with all new tiled shower! There is a real advantage to beach level condos as you save on rates compared to upstairs ocean view homes, while having direct beach access. This home is a gem.

This home is on the beach level - so no stairs to climb. Just walk out to the beach and enjoy! This home is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom is full of tasteful decor and design! The master bedroom has a king bed and a beautiful shower. The guest bedroom comfortably features a twin & bunk bed (bunk bed has a full on bottom and twin on top). The living room has a smart Samsung TV with Apple TV & Blue-ray player for all of your entertainment! The dinning table has seats for 6 & there are 2 bar stools available at the breakfast bar. This is a lovely, comfortable and updated home where you can relax together.

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!

Admire the beauty of the sand dunes and enjoy miles of uncrowded shoreline. Collect sand dollars on the beach and watch the sea life. From seals, sea otters, whales, snowy plovers, to the magical sights of the pelicans flying overhead, step back and truly soak in the relaxation. Please be advised the fireplace in this home cannot be used until further notice.

End of Summer Getaway

Nice accommodations—comfy furniture and beds. The ice-maker and clothes dryer were on the fritz but the property managers informed us of this well in advance of our stay and offered some bagged ice and laundry service.

Great location and comfy spot

This is the second time we've stayed at this specific condo now. We love the location, being literally minutes from the beach. It's also close to places like Moss Landing and Monterey Bay, a great launching point! The condo itself is lovely, it is well-designed and up to date, has all the amenities one would need and we always feel cozy and at home here. We were with our infant baby both times, and it has worked well with him too!

Not as the pictures are not as they appears

***This property may be undergoing renovations. I don't usually write negative reviews so I want to prior the disclaimer above. While the pictures appear beautiful, we arrived at the condo to find the freezer not working, the heater in the master bedroom not working, and the fireplace not working. None of these items seem like a big deal until you understand the West Coast is experiencing its coldest weather in years!! We have stayed a Pajaro Dunes many times, but this experience has left a bad taste in our mouths. Upon check out, I notified the front desk of all the items not working and stated I would have expected they would have contacted me prior to my arrival with these items. Their response was they did not know. I find that hard to believe since the signs were laminated with everything that was not working. At this price point, I would expect better care from the management.
