About this property

Pajaro Dunes Resort: 1 Bedroom Ocean Front Getaway!

Welcome to Pajaro Dunes Resort, Shorebirds gated community. Located on the top level of the building (third floor, stairs required), this beautifully remodeled 1 bedroom, oceanfront condo comfortably sleeps 2 adults and offers stunning Monterey Bay views, including unforgettable sunrises over the water. The primary bedroom features an exceptionally comfortable Queen-size bed and direct access to the ocean-side deck, creating a peaceful retreat just steps above the sand.

The living room includes a 43” Smart TV with cable and streaming capabilities, perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. The bathroom has been thoughtfully updated with a walk-in shower, heated tile floors, and a touchless faucet for added comfort.

Set in a perfectly calm and secluded setting, this luxurious beach condo is ideally located on Monterey Bay between Santa Cruz and Carmel—an ideal adult getaway designed for rest and relaxation. Miles of pristine beach invite long walks, sandcastle building, dolphin and whale watching, or simply curling up by the fireplace with a good book while listening to the waves crash along the shore. After a breathtaking sunset, gather around a beach bonfire and look for shooting stars beneath the sparkling night sky.

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy birdwatching in the nearby lagoons, hiking the coastal bluffs, tennis courts, and scenic jogging paths winding through the dunes.

All pillows, linens, bath towels, and beach towels are provided. The fully equipped kitchen includes cookware, bakeware, small appliances, a microwave, and dishwasher, and an in-home washer and dryer are available for guest use.

This premium condo offers remodeled upgrades throughout, providing a stylish and comfortable home right above the sand.

Parking is plentiful and located just steps from the front door. Luggage carts are available to assist from the ground to the second level, followed by a short flight of stairs to the condo. The beach is just a short 30-second walk away, with approximately ten steps down to the sand.

Relax, recharge, and enjoy the best of the Central Coast from your own oceanfront escape at Pajaro Dunes.
