Shorebirds 121 - Full Ocean View Condo - Sleeps 2, Second Floor Condo

This spacious Pajaro Dunes beach condo features luxurious accommodations in a perfectly calm setting. Ideally located on Monterey Bay between Santa Cruz and Carmel, this ocean oasis offers the perfect couples getaway. Facing Santa Cruz, our condo has a nice view to enjoy the sunset. The gorgeously furnished 1 bedroom condo comfortably sleeps 2 adults. The master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, direct access to the ocean front deck, a flat screen television in both the master & living room, and an extremely comfortable California King-size bed.

Enjoy a Nespresso Coffee espresso coffee machine with coffee pods available to enjoy in the morning watching the ocean waves right outside your bedroom. There is a Smart TV in the bedroom to watch your favorite shows and Echo Dot for listening to music in the beach condo. Cable is available in both rooms. Electric Fireplace to cozy up to in the living room.

Our gated community of Pajaro Dunes is located on miles of secluded beach are perfect for building sandcastles, dolphin and whale-watching, or getting lost in a good book while listening to the waves crash on the shore. After a breathtaking sunset, cozy up around a beach bonfire and spot a shooting star beneath the sparkling night sky.

Outdoor enthusiasts love bird watching in the lagoons and hiking in the bluffs, and fitness mavens enjoy the tennis facilities and jogging through the nature paths.

All pillows, linens, towels and beach towels are provided, and the kitchen is fully supplied with cookware, bake-ware, small appliances, a microwave, and dishwasher. The washer/dryer is also available to all guests. A barbecue grill is located on the deck for grilling.

Parking is plentiful, and is steps from the front door. The condo is on the Second floor, so there are no steps to climb up with groceries or luggage! It is situated on the north end of the building, and the sand is down a short, 30-second walkway and approximately 10 steps down.

Things to do around Monterey Bay:

For the curious – we encourage you to visit The Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Mission at Carmel or the Mission at San Juan Bautista, Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, or downtown Carmel.

For the connoisseurs – you'll want to schedule time for wine tasting at the many wonderful wineries found along the Monterey Coast (including Bonny Doon Vineyard, Soquel Vineyards, and Estancia), or satisfy your taste buds for fresh seafood and locally-grown vegetables at any one of a myriad of nearby restaurants and produce markets.

For the shoppers – there are literally hundreds of charming boutiques and stores throughout Santa Cruz, Capitola, Monterey, and Carmel.

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!

For the sports enthusiasts – there is tennis, biking, and beach volleyball right here at Pajaro Dunes, plus some of Northern California's premier golf courses are an easy drive away.

For the contented – stretch yourself out on the warm beaches of Pajaro Dunes, enjoy the cool ocean breezes, and make sure you take in one of our serene suns.

Much needed

We loved our stay. Being right next to the beach was such a treat. We had the slider open so we could hear the ocean all night. Day trips to the local Mexican ice cream shop and Capitola were wonderful. We will definitely be back.

Had a great time...

Unit was very clean and looked exactly as advertised. Had all appliances and extras... blender, coffee makers and dishes. Was steps from the beach and still very private. Was centrally located from all the places we wanted to visit. I would definitely recommend this for a couple.

Beautiful Condo with Great a View

This was an enjoyable and clean place to stay. This was a perfect place to celebrated our 29th anniversary. It was quiet, peaceful and the view were perfect. The only thing I would change is the addition of a Keurig. That didn’t make or break the experience but it would have been nice to have.

You can't beat the view from this property

My husband and I celebrated his birthday here, staying 6 nights. The property is comfortable, and perfect for a couple. We cooked three nights, and found everything we needed in the kitchen. This unit has no DVD player, but the office will provide one for free.

Great unit. Comfortable bed and furniture.

Great one bedroom unit. Just need to improve four things and the unit would be excellent. Check in girls bordered on rude. I owned a property at Pajaro Dunes for twenty six years and rented the unit most of the year. It’s important to make your guest feel comfortable and at home. This unit was almost excellent. I will definitely stay in this unit again. The agency had my belongings carry to my unit for no charge. That was great especially as we get older.

A perfect and peaceful beach experience

We had no idea this development existed prior to searching for oceanfront properties in the Monterey area on VRBO. Now that we are in the know, we will be back! It is truly rare to find a place with a 180 view of the ocean that is mere steps away from the beach, AND in such a natural peaceful setting. Each morning, while enjoying tea on the balcony, we were entertained by pelicans diving for fish, passing dolphins etc. And if you like to walk on the beach, look no farther: miles of hard packed sand in both directions. We also enjoyed kayaking in nearby Elkhorn Slough, where is a reliable place to see sea otters and seals. The unit is quite comfortable, immaculate and well equipped. I think its second floor location is ideal—a direct water view and benefitting from an overhang from the third floor unit.

Nice condo/resort, so-so location, bad ocean odor

The condo and resort property was very nice, well-kept, and clean. Our condo was on the second floor, right on the beach. So we could sit on the balcony and enjoy the view. But there was one issue that ruined the experience, and that was a very odd, unpleasant odor that would waft in off the ocean and inside the condo (even with doors/windows closed). It was inescapable. We asked around about it and we were told it could have been help, algae, microscopice organisms that were churned up to the surface. So even though this issue wasn't the fault of the resort, it did negatively impact our experience. It prevented us from enjoying the beach and the condo balcony the way we wanted to.. To get to the nearby town of Watsonville you have to take a horrible pot-hole-filled road. The town itself is old and doesn't offer a big variety of restaurants - mostly fast-foot or diners - nor any little shops. But you can get groceries and cook in your condo. To find any kind of "finer" dining, you'll need to drive a ways south to Monterey or north toward Santa Cruz, or further inland. We did drive inland to a beautiful little town called Morgan Hill. I highly recommend that town for dining, and the interesting drive over the mountain to get there..
