About this property

Pelican 87: Beach Living at its Best

Nestled in the privacy and peace of the cypress trees, this ocean view townhome is located at the center of Pelican Point, lovingly called The Roost here at Pajaro Dunes. Overlooking both Monterey Bay, the Pajaro River and the famous last mile of the Watsonville Slough, it's just a one-minute walk to the beach or some great slough bird watching. This 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom can easily sleep 11 with a King in the master (private bathroom), queen and twin in the second bedroom (private bathroom), queen and twin in the third bedroom (private bathroom), and queen and another twin in the fourth bedroom located downstairs on the entry level. Each bedroom and living space offers outdoor seating. We are so happy to prepare this space for you, the owners take so much pride in it, and it shows.

Are stairs an issue? Pelican 87 is the place for you.

On the entry level guests will enjoy all the living space, dining, and kitchen without climbing any stairs. As well as a one bedroom with queen and twin with access to a full bathroom with a standing shower. Walking up to Pelican 87 is easiest when using the ramp access located at the end of the parking lot.

Come connect with family and disconnect from the hustle of daily routines, here, where the pavement meets the sand.

Labor day at Pelican 87

It is an excellent property for a group of 11. It has a great location and view, and it is 3 minutes from the beach. The kitchen was great and very well-equipped. We have enjoyed the stay and will be back again!

Girls’ Getaway

This was the perfect place for our girls’ getaway. We all loved the close proximity to the beach and easy access. Sitting out on the decks, we could hear the sounds of the ocean and watch the beautiful sunsets. We plan on returning in the future.

Beach birthday

The house had wonderful views. Overall, the house was fairly clean. I think the housekeeping could be improved. Perhaps a refresh of paint would be helpful to some of the rooms. We enjoyed the lovely kitchen and looking out at the beach on the patio.

This is the perfect retreat for our three families, nine of us in all, while visiting the Monterey Bay area. With the beach just a minute's walk away it was perfect for building sand castles (they have lots of gear for this at the house), strolling, bird watching, or even taking a dip if you like cold water. The kitchen was better equipped than any place we have rented previously. Everything worked, the area was quiet, but town was not too far away to get supplies, or to pop in to the Watsonville Public House for a local brew. Weather was cool and varied from clouds to sun. Terrific.
