About the host

Hosted by Paul O'Neill, family member

Host profile image
I'm Paul O'Neill, son-in-law of the owner Barbara Black. Barbara bought the beach property in '72 and my wife and her siblings spent their teenage summers at Pajaro. I now run the unit for our family after extensively remodeling the unit in the fall of 2012.

Why they chose this property

Living in San Francisco, we cannot get down to use the unit as frequently as we would like. But when we do manage to get away to the beach, its hard for us to leave. Our 10 year old son just loves it there, stopping to stop to chat with the beach fisherman to see what they have caught that day. So we hope you will enjoy the beach experience as we do.

What makes this property unique
