About this property

Pajaro Dunes Resort: Extraordinary Luxury At The Beach! Sleeps 6

You want to create & share special memories with those closest to you. This is the place! Pelican point is private, set on a pristine & secluded beach between the sea & the lagoon. Our home is on the first level, so no hiking to get here. Enjoy sunsets on the daily with this condo that faces Santa Cruz. The bedrooms both offer comfortable king beds!

This isn't your rough beach bungalow - we've designed it to be truly a remarkable getaway. If you need to keep in touch, there's a desk for your laptop or tablet, and new Private wifi service is included free. Once you're here, though, we'll bet that the ocean air calls you to explore our special sea life!

This is a recently remodeled home, and you'll enjoy a truly luxurious stay. The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances, blender, granite counter tops, new cabinets & more. Enjoy our breakfast bar with new chairs, or a window seat watching the sea birds. You're footsteps away from a gorgeous beach walk - many of our guests have sited whales, dolphins & pelicans!

Enjoy a movie on our living room flat screen TV, or set the bedroom televisions up with different programs. Two of them have DVD players. Borrow free movies at our lobby store when you check in! We also have a cd player so you can set the musical mood. We also provide 2 hair dryers, so no need to pack them! You'll also have the convenience of an in home washer & dryer for your sandy towels!

If you're looking for a serene oasis where you can watch the sunset over the Monterey Bay; and be in a beautiful home, this is for you. Don't forget that just down the road, you can visit terrific fresh seafood restaurants at Moss Landing; kayak out & find sea otters enjoying the Elkhorn Slough; dine & shop in nearby Monterey - or if you have a wanderlust, visit Big Sur! Everything is close by, and yet you will feel that you're a world away. Enjoy tennis? There are many great courts here! Basketball, beach volleyball set ups, wonderful walking trails, and of course, the most stunning & quiet beach on the Monterrey bay.

Our property managers at Pajaro Dunes Resort will help with anything you might need to further enjoy your stay. Our lobby store has many items for purchase to take a little piece of the Pajaro Dunes with you. Maid service is also available upon request. We hope to welcome you to our home away from home. Please note that all BBQ's in the Pelican condos have been removed due to HOA policy.

Family celebration

Upon arrival to Pajaro dunes, we realized that the unit that we originally reserved had stairs to get to the main entry. This is the reason why the check-in process was a little tricky. We were traveling with my elderly parents and they cannot go up any stairs. This was a specific request when booking on VRBO. With that said we had to go through the management team there at Pajaro dunes and they were able to accommodate us at a different property there on the premises, but it wasn’t until an hour and a half later of our arrival that we were able to check into one of the units. I will say that the manager that we dealt with was awesome in getting us the accommodations that would suit our elderly parents and the next day they were very generous with a beautiful basket of wine and goodies for my parents. We were celebrating their 61st wedding anniversary. Besides the check in process our stay there was wonderful , We will probably visit Pajaro dunes again !

Amazing place!

Pelican 1 was perfect! We felt right at home and wished we had more time there. Since we were there for a softball tournament, we didn’t get to enjoy the home as much as we wanted to, so we will definitely be back. The view is beautiful, the walk to the beach is mere steps away and the sunsets are stunning. Highly recommend this place!

Clean condo and well stocked kitchen. Only suggestion would be to offer shower supplies. In this time of restricted volume on flights, having shower supplies would be a nice addition.

Exceeded expectations!

Because it rained every day of our stay, we enjoyed the fine accommodations all the more. Well appointed and very comfortable. We liked being on the first floor. Made it easier to bring in our luggage and supplies. Proximity to the beach was appreciated by all. Went out a couple of times to comb the beach. 8 year old granddaughter loved searching for sea shells. Would like to return to the same unit at Pelican Point.

Excellent Choice

We never stayed at Pelican Point but our stay was amazing. The condo was perfect for what we needed. Fully stocked with everything you could want. GREAT wifi and access to beach was very close. The most surprising part was the pull out bed was the most comfortable bed. The kids were excited to go to sleep every night and would not share! We would recommend!

Pajaro weekend

We had a great weekend. The only thing really missing was a dustpan because when I wanted to sweep up anything I had to improvise with a piece of paper :(. A few more bath towels would have been nice, but it was a very nice condo and I really liked that it was an end unit with neighbors only on one side. It was very quiet :)
