About this property

VIEWS TO CALM THE SOUL -- A PERFECT GETAWAY

As soon as you step in the door of this ground level condominium, you've begun to relax. The large picture window with views of both the river and the ocean, and the shoreline of Monterey in the distance, are always visible from the living area (open style living room, a kitchen and dining room).

READ THE REVIEWS FROM OUR PREVIOUS GUESTS... THEY DESCRIBE PELICAN 75 BETTER THAN WE CAN !!! (You'll notice that our location is one of the most frequently mentioned features of where we are in Pajaro Dunes.)

From the 2 sofas in the living room you can read peacefully or watch a movie. If you chose to cook, you don't have to be away from the outdoor views and can enjoy a fully-equipped kitchen to prepare happy hour for the beach or to put on the salmon for dinner. The glass doors off the living room take you to the deck, where you'll likely enjoy most meals. (The pelicans usually provide fascinating entertainment.)

The master bedroom, with a California King bed and television, has its own full bath. The 2nd bedroom has 1 double bed with a single trundle underneath. Washer and dryer. Second full bathroom. Roku TV. Internet access.

NOTE: Due to fire restrictions outdoor grilling is not permitted. We apologize for any inconvenience.

This gated community includes pickle ball & tennis & basketball courts and lots of bike riding, walking paths.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Pastrone

Host profile image
John and Mary Pastrone bought Pelican-75 in the 1970s so their 3 sons could enjoy beach weekends and escape the heat of the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, a 3rd generation of grandchildren enjoy the same surroundings their fathers did 50 years ago when they were young.

The property is currently managed by Michael Pastrone, John and Mary's oldest son.

Why they chose this property

Nestled along the Monterey Bay is one of the most scenic stretches of California’s central coastline. Spanning 1 1/2 miles of pristine beach, Pajaro Dunes Resort is a secluded, gated community featuring a collection of beautiful beachfront houses, townhomes, and condominiums architected to blend harmoniously with the gently rolling, natural ocean side landscape.

Our ideal location within Pajaro Dunes, at the south end of the resort, is quiet and private... in between the ocean and the river... with massive open views of the ocean, river, and sand dunes. Our Building "D" is rarely occupied. And Pelican-75 is ground level so families can be indoors and out but still be together.

We have upgraded and updated over the past 5 years, including the kitchen and both full master bathrooms each with dual shower heads, new furniture and many extras.

What makes this property unique

The unobstructed view from the deck of the ocean, river, and sand dunes... home to dozens of bird species. If there was one thing you will remember about being here, is getting reacquainted with the beauty of watching Pelicans glide in from the ocean, their flight paths crossing the deck, with their six foot wingspan, landing at their quiet home on the river. Bring your binoculars. And then there are the darn cute tiny Snowy Plovers that run on the sand, hopping on one leg.

We are fully stocked with everything you could possibly need.... from kitchen gear to beach gear... all you have to bring is your food and clothing. And we have the best cleaning team in Pajaro Dunes.

Note: Due to fire risk, grilling is not permitted at Pajaro Dunes.
