About this property

Serene & Modern~ Ocean Front View~ 2 Bd 2 Bth~1st Fully Remodeled

Welcome to Pajaro Dunes where wispy sea-grass blows in the sea air on miles of uncrowded, white sandy beaches. Our secluded vacation home community offers the best of California Coastal living!

Serene and modern, this spacious 2 bed - 2 bath fully renovated condo has ocean views throughout.

While overlooking the ocean from the living room you will appreciate the warmth of the fireplace on chilly evenings.

Maser bedroom w/ en-suite bathroom and an abundance of natural lighting. Two twin beds in the second bedroom and a 2nd full bathroom offer our guests comfort during your stay.

A fully appointed kitchen and large dining table perfect to share a meal, a game of cards or a lovely chat at the end of an adventure filled day.

Vacations are cherished experiences. A romantic get-away, a peaceful retreat with friends/family, an inspirational place to work from home, or looking to get in touch with nature. Here you can and watch the seals, dolphins and otters play in the surf and perhaps even a peek at the migrating whales. You'll find egrets & herons, pelicans soaring overhead or sandelings darting across the sand. There is no shortage of wildlife on land or sea.

Come to relax and enjoy all that our private gated community has to offer or venture out to the nearby towns of Capitola, Monterey, Carmel and Santa Cruz Boardwalk.

Our Association offers Bonfires on the beach with Smores, and the best part is that the staff at Pajaro Dunes will set up everything for you.

There is also a convenience store on the premises with an amazing selection of food, wine and sundries. Forgot something? No problem...this convenient shop has thought of almost everything, is open 7 days a week and also offers great gifts and souvenirs to remember your trip.

Sorry...we do love furry, four-legged friends, but in consideration of all guests, we do not allow pets.

The dunes at Pajaro await you!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This place is so awesome! Comfy beds and a relaxing living/dining room area. We left the patio door open to hear the ocean and it was so peaceful. Beautiful sunsets to enjoy from inside too after coming in from the beach. It’s a 3000 mile trip for me, but if I come back out I will rent this location again.

Relaxing and lovely condo

Our stay was wonderful. The condo is clean and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and the walk to the beach was short and easy. Maria was incredibly responsive. She responded to messages immediately and went above and beyond to provide answers to our questions.

Loved the property! Feels like you are far away from everything except the beach, which is practically right outside the door. In reality, city conveniences are close and easy to get to. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We had such a wonderful stay at Maria's place. Having the beach steps away was such a treat. The listing is as described. Pajaro Dunes is a hidden gem. It feels like you are in a different world. We stayed during the week and it was very peaceful. It's just what we wanted. Thank you again Maria for the opportunity to stay at your place.

Excellent New Property on VRBO

Amazing location, lovely views and no detail missed in the furniture and decor! The condo is truly the nicest we have ever stayed at. Ocean views from the living room and deck, a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and tons of new board games. We had a great time walking on the beach, enjoying the views, exploring the area and relaxing in the condo. The owner was helpful and responsive and we look forward to coming back soon! We enjoyed our stay at this amazing beach condo!

Perfect Pajaro Get-A-Way

Maria's condo at Shorebirds in Pajaro is a fantastic place to enjoy Pajaro Dunes. The unit has been completely updated, beds are comfortable, ocean view from living room and deck, and proximity to tennis and pickle ball made this a perfect three-day get-a-way. I've been coming to Pajaro for decades and sometimes the accommodations can be a little tired - not this place. It's a real gem and we hope to return.

A great location at Pajaro Dunes

My family (wife, two young kids) and I had a very nice 3-day stay at Maria's condo. The location was just what we were looking for (near the north end of PD, so close to actual dunes we could play in) and also not overwhelmed with people. We really liked the ease of access to the beach from the west-side condo, and the nice view to the water. Everything in the condo worked well, and the few times we had a question, Maria responded right away! Our girls had a great time as did we. Highly recommended!

Beach-front hideaway

This is a little hidden beach-front gem in Watsonville! The unit is located in a neighborhood called Pajaro Dunes in a very rural area. You are flanked by the beautiful (private) beach on one side, and farmland on the other. This makes for a very quiet and relaxing beach-front vacation. Nothing beats waking up to the sound of the ocean. The house was very well-stocked with necessities that will last you 1 or 2 days, just bring food! However, it does take some time to drive into town for supplies and activities, and drive with caution around the farmland! The house was very well-stocked with necessities that will last you 1 or 2 days, just bring food!

Spring Break Getaway

My family .. Myself, husband, a 2 teens stayed for 3 days during spring break. We had an amazing time reconnecting as a family. Maria’s property was an integral part of our positive experience. Check in was super easy.. Everything was as listed. The view was actually better then I had expected.. The photos on the listing really don’t do it justice. The kitchen was well appointed. We were able to enjoy family meals and game nights.. We even took out the pickle ball set.. I’m gonna need some practice.. My kids had me running all over the court!! Overall.. Everything was clean and comfortable and we really enjoyed ourselves.
