Shorebird 115, Pajaro Dunes Ocean Condo on Monterey Bay Beach

Year Purchased: 2005

Why the Owner Chose Monterey

Pajaro Dunes is a Monterey Bay area secret- a quiet gated community, very accessible from the San Francisco/San Jose Bay areas yet feels much further away. Watching the waves on the endless beach and hearing the roar of the surf is relaxing and restful. For more action filled days, its an easy trop to either Santa Cruz or Monterey.

The Unique Benefits at this Condo

We are well positioned close to both Santa Cruz and Monterey with endless options for all ages! You can curl up with a good book (enjoy our library), watch a movie by the fire, play on the beach, or visit the many area attractions.

 

Owner's Map of Monterey

We live about an hour from our beach condo and love to stay when we can- but that is not often enough, so we choose to share this special place with guests. This is a perfect location on Monterey Bay Beach, conveniently located a short distance between Santa Cruz and Monterey, yet away from the crowds. Enjoy!

      I just wanted to write and say THANK YOU for such a wonderful unit in Shorebird! We have stayed at Pajaro Dunes 4 times, and your unit was our favorite by far. It was very kid-friendly, everything was decorated beautifully, and we loved your couch. =) We all had such a wonderful time. Our kids are still talking about it and asking when we are going back.

    • My family and I just recently stayed in this condo. It was not only beautiful, but also very kid friendly- which doesn't always go hand in hand! Our only complaint was that the unit was not directly on the beach. It is in the rear of a building that is directly on the beach. All in all it was a great condo- just not an oceanfront one.

    • This condo was perfect for our (3 couples) reunion. We found it spacious, well appointed & completely supplied with essentials. My 6'5" husband even found the bunk bed long enough to stretch out, so the lower bunks can work for adults. Pajaro Dunes is a beautiful, peaceful place - and #115 a good choice for a relaxing stay.

    • After a quick inquiry and much pleasant and SPEEDY contact with the owners my family and I stayed at this beautiful condo over a long weekend and had the absolute best day. We have stayed in a bunch of different condos over the years at Pajaro but absolutely loved this one - it is SO big and spread out and even with seven of us there it never felt like we were all on top of each other. The furnishings are gorgeous and comfy; every kind of kitchen tool we could need was provided; the view as always was breathtaking - we look forward to returning as soon as possible! The owners were a real delight to work with. Thank you so much!

    • We have stayed in many different condos over the years at Pajaro Dunes but I have to say that this was our favorite. Very well appointed, comfortable, and spacious for our family of five. We will definitely make plans to come here again. Thanks!

    • Spacious, peaceful, private, and a spectacular view. The owners have alot of integrity and you can get a feel for it when booking the rental and staying in their beatiful place! Can't wait until we can relax at the beautiful, uncrowded and private beach area --so close to Monterey and Santa Cruz!

    • This is a wonderful condo-very comfortable for our family of four, with enough space to bring friends next time (and we will return!) The kitchen had everything I could imagine, the kids loved the bunk beds, and we loved hearing the sound of the ocean as we went to sleep after a movie by the fire. The beach is endless and uncrowded- a GREAT vacation rental!
