Map & Owner's Profile
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.
