About this property

Pajaro Dunes Resort: Breathtaking Views - 5 BR/3 BA Pajaro Dunes Beach House

We cannot wait for you to experience the tranquility and unspoiled beauty that you will find at our beach house located in Pajaro Dunes on the Monterey Bay. We have been vacationing here since the inception of the property. Our Papa and Baba built the third house here and picked out their property before the roads were even paved. We grew up here and are delighted that our children have the opportunity to enjoy this special slice of heaven and are excited to help you start building your own family traditions and memories here at Pajaro Dunes. Our home is Professionally managed by Pajaro Dunes Resort - Professionally Sanitized with On Site care.

Our house is perfect for families. It is comfy, cozy and expandable. Recently remodeled, there are five bedrooms and they are all equipped with their own flat screen TV, the two upstairs bedrooms have a king size bed in each. Also located on this floor, is the Great Room, which includes couches, chairs, a flat screen TV and a game table and chairs. The fully equipped kitchen, dining room and a bathroom are also located on this floor. The dining table is huge and we have played many games, put together countless puzzles, entertained oodles of people and have had many spirited debates while sitting around this table. The views are breathtaking and can be seen as you relax in your jammies and sip your morning coffee.

Downstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedrooms each have two twin size beds in them. One bedroom has a TV. We recently added on a fifth bedroom for the kids. In the kids room, there are two built in twin bunk beds.There is a full size washer and dryer on this floor and it also boasts an outside shower to rinse off the sand from your lazy day at the beach.

We love our house for relaxing – there is nothing commercial here at Pajaro Dunes. If you love pristine beaches, building sand castles, walking/running on the beach, beachcombing, bird watching, playing tennis, riding your bikes, all you need to do here is enjoy yourself. If you are relaxed after a short time, there is Historic Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey, Carmel By The Sea, the quaint town of Capitola, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, golf courses, wineries, spas, the 17 mile Drive through Pebble Beach, the Point Lobos Reserve and the Monterey Aquarium to mention but a few temptations close by for your exploration and enjoyment.

We dare you to just sit back, relax and enjoy your family and loved ones. You won’t regret it!

Grandpa’s 80th Birthday Party with the family

Wonderful experience! The house had everything we could have wanted. We had a lovely blue-water view, with an easy walk to the beach. It did not disappoint.

Pretty nice place

This is a nice house with limited views of the ocean. The kitchen is a bit small but the living room is nice and spacious. The kitchen is kind of under equipped and there’s no gas grill - just charcoal (bring your own). Nice assortment of games and very clean house. Heating system is outdated with non- thermostatic controls for each room, some which just spin making it hard to figure out how to set. As I was checking out, Pajaro Dunes hit me with a fine for parking my small campervan in the nearly empty lot near the house. Not a nice feeling after spending thousands of dollars on this place. Not planning to return.

121 Pajaro

Enjoyed the spacious, clean home and beautiful views. Check in was challenging. Recommend clarifying that you must drive to Pajaro Dunes North first to pick up key, then drive to Pajaro Dunes South to pick up parking pass then you can park and unload. We were also given the wrong key so we had to call security who came quickly to let us in. Other than that, the house was beautiful and accommodating.

Nice Propery

Overall the house worked out well for a reunion of 9 women. The kitchen was well appointed and we enjoyed the family room with seating for everyone. The bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were great. Our only complaint was the check-in process. They make you go to two separate buildings one for your keys, and another to register your car. It also would have been extremely helpful if a map was provide on where to park to have the best access to your rental home.

Perfect Surprise Birthday!

This property was perfect for a surprise weekend for my husband's 80th birthday! With our 8 kids, the table for 10 was just right. There were beds for everyone and the beach was close. We'd recommend this to anyone!

perfect beach setting

Our family, which ranges in age from 1 year to 67 years had a wonderful stay at Pajaro Dunes. House 121 worked out great for us, our adult children, and four grandchildren. The house was well stocked with linens (including beach towels),kitchen utensils, pots/pans, sand toys, games, puzzles, and even toddler plates, cups, and silverware. We saw dolphins, an otter, seals, and many types of birds. The living area has a large sectional which fit us all. The house was very clean and comfortable, and the view was great. The private beach is beautiful. We hope to return in future years.

3rd annual family vacation, first time at this location. The home was perfect for all of us, ages 2-70. Everything we needed for fun during our time away was provided - sand chairs, sand toys, and boogie boards. Beds were comfortable too. Highly recommend this home, thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for a wonderful stay!

This was the best equiped rental that I have ever stayed in; however a little shy on hangers. The kitchen had everthing that we needed. The lay out of the house lent it self so well for everyone to enjoy each others company. The dinning room and living room were large enough for everyone to gather yet there were plenty of spots for private conversations. Great design to the house! We had a wonderful time! Thank you!

Wonderful family stay

We stayed here with extended family & friends and had a fabulous time. The kids loved the kids’ bunk room. The bathrooms are gorgeous, and the kitchen is so well equipped with very nice dishes & serving ware and everything you might need for meals, happy hours etc. The view is beautiful. We had some minor issues with a broken chair on the patio and broken beach umbrellas, but the property provides so much more that it really wasn’t an issue. There is everything for a fun beach vacation- kites, tons of sand toys, beach chairs, etc. The area is very quiet and miles and miles of gorgeous empty beaches.

This is the 2nd time we rented this house. We have enjoyed our stays and the house is very clean and well equiped. It worked perfect for our family. I really like how the kitchen is equiped. Everything is good quality and not over stocked. Also like all the lables. Thanks for sharing your home and if our family doesn't grow to much we will be back.

Nice, spacious house; lots of stairs. Great LR seating arrangement.

The check in process is a nightmare but once you know the drill, it’s easy. Large house, light & airy, comfy beds. The bunk bed room is like a cave. We were there during a windstorm and the spark arrester on the chimney sounds like cymbals are in the chimney. 24 hours later, it was quiet. Would definitely rent it again.

Wonderful family vacation!

We LOVED this house! Not more than 10 minutes after first entering, my niece said, "Can we just buy this house and stay here?" My mom effused over how nice it was. We loved the decor throughout the entire house - just beautiful and enhanced the surroundings. The house was CLEAN with comfortable furnishings and beds. Everything you could need was provided. Our family enjoyed the tennis rackets, the boogies boards, and the beach chairs available. There were 12 of us and we never felt cramped. The property is fantastic! So quiet - except for the crashing of the waves. The beach was never crowded (a few more people came on the weekend, but we still had plenty of space). We loved saying, "I'm going down to the beach!" and just running back and forth to the house whenever we wanted. It was such an enjoyable stay! I don't think you could find a better house than H121.

Away from the usual beach hustle and bustle

Wonderful house, thoughtfully equipped. VRBO reservations went smoothly. Owner responded when necessary. This is a world away kind of place. You drive through the strawberry fields of Watsonville to a community built on sand dunes. How or why a place like this was allowed to exists is still a mystery Our only glitch was from the property managers, who made our check-in more difficult than it should have been. They redeemed themselves when one of our guests was ticketed $25 for forgetting to put their parking sticker on the dashboard. They graciously took care of the issue. I'm sure this is not a new problem. Bottom line is that ACCESS is an issue. Hard climbs and steps for older renters. We had a few 80 year olds who got way too much exercise.

We had a great stay in Pajaro Dunes at this property. It was nicely furnished and well stocked. We enjoyed the upgrades and decor. The only thing not as clear from the listing is this property has a partial /obstructed view of the ocean (in the second row of homes). Otherwise it was lovely and we hope to be back soon!
