"Pura Vida" (poo-rah vee-dah) means "simple life" or "pure life." Pura Vida is the philosophy of life in Costa Rica... it is an emotion, an attitude ... it’s happiness in its purest form.

House 7 aims to bring the Pura Vida life to Pajaro Dunes and Monterey Bay, with a wonderful four-bedroom beach home where you feel your cares melt away. The home promotes a happy mood with its light yellow walls and peacefulness and balance with its soothing furnishings in taupe, gray, and rich wood. It is fresh, clean and ready after a complete remodel!

This home is outfitted perfectly either for families to share, or for groups of adults to get away. It has four private bedrooms and can easily host four couples (2 K, 2 Q). For families, it offers flexible options for sleeping adults and kids in 10 separate beds (2K, 2Q, 4T bunks, 2 T floor mattresses) in 4 proper bedrooms. This home can accommodate up to 12 adults/children total.

7 Sanderling has FULL OCEAN VIEWS from the living area, kitchen, master bedroom, back deck. Out the back door is a wonderful bluff with lounge chairs for afternoons spent chatting, spotting dolphins, seals and perhaps even whales. A clever parent can make a contest out of food and beverage service, ensuring a steady stream of little helpers bringing goodies to the grown ups in the lounge chairs!

The ping pong atrium is beyond! A NEW gorgeous ping pong topper, surrounded by pub tables, stools, a cool glass atrium and ocean views is custom made for hanging out and socializing day and night. (NO pool table).

This two-story home is appropriate for grandparents or anyone with physical challenges who can climb one set of stairs then stay put on the top level. The approach to the home from the parking area is perfectly flat, then climb one set of stairs to the top floor of the home, and with 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms right on that main upstairs living level. The other 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom are downstairs and away from the main living area.

While the deck and view from this oceanfront home are perched right over the beach, none of the homes at Pajaro Dunes have direct access to the beach due to a 10' high granite sea wall below the dune. The actual beach access takes two minutes down a short boardwalk from the front door of the home -- just two houses over and one set of stairs down to the beach.

Checkout tasks: strip sheets and towels; take out trash and unused food; wash and put away kitchenware; lights and heat off and doors and windows locked. See contract for checklist.
