Steps to the beach! Charming Shorebird Ocean View Condo on Second Level

Escape to the serene and quiet corner of Monterey Bay, where this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condominium offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking ocean views. Tucked above one of the most pristine and secluded beaches, this is the ideal spot to unwind, recharge, and enjoy nature at its finest.

Accommodating up to five guests, the condo features a spacious master suite with a comfortable Cal King bed, while the guest bedroom is perfect for families, offering both a Queen and Twin bed. You'll find everything you need for a relaxed stay—including beach chairs tucked under the bed in the guest room, as well as boogie boards and sand toys stored in the closet. Whether you're watching dolphins from the shore or strolling along nearby walking trails, this peaceful spot is the perfect base for your getaway.

The cozy living room invites you to kick back and relax, with a new decorative electric fireplace, a large Samsung Smart TV, and free Wi-Fi for your convenience. Enjoy your mornings with a hot cup of coffee from the Keurig coffee maker (recently added for your convenience), and fire up the 1 lb propane-style BBQ grill for a relaxing meal (propane not included). We love this place as our family's personal retreat, and we’re thrilled to share it with you.

On-site amenities include pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts—perfect for some friendly competition or family fun. Stop by the lobby to inquire about our bonfire services or browse the lobby shop for snacks and beach essentials.

Family vacation

Our family of 5 stayed here for 3 nights. We had a great time! So close to the beach, beach towels and sand toys provided. There is a propane outdoor BBQ that you will need to bring your own propane for.

The Happy Place

This condo was very clean and very well stocked with dishes, pots, skillets, towels, beach towels and toys, grill, etc. It was decorated so cute and a great view. We spent 5 days there and loved the easy access to the beach and of course the awesome sunset views! The staff at Pajaro Dunes were amazing too! Can’t wait to go again!!

Relaxing trip to Monterey with my parents

We visited Monterey to see Randy Travis in concert, relax and see the sights. Loved the condo! Gorgeous views of the ocean. My folks are older and don't always like to battle the elements. It was wonderful to have a place that makes you feel like you're on the beach while staying warm inside. Pajaro Dunes is a quiet location, felt remote which I enjoyed. Nice break from SF. About 35 minutes to Monterey, easy scenic drive. Nice beach, not too many people. I brought my drum to play and sing with the waves.Great star gazing from the balcony. Cheerfully decorated unit, clean and very cozy place. Thank you to the owner's!
