We had a wonderful time at the beach in this beautiful ocean front condo. We have gone to Pajaro Dunes as a family for many, many years and this is the first time we have stayed in this condo. We will definitely be back to stay in Pelican 13. It is very clean and comfortable, and the host was very communicative and great to work with. Thank you!!

About the host

Host profile image
Hi there! We're a California-based family who fell in love with the peaceful beauty of Pajaro Dunes and the Monterey Bay coast. We’ve always enjoyed exploring local beaches, hiking scenic trails, and spending quality time with loved ones by the ocean. Hosting allows us to share that joy with others—whether you're here for relaxation, adventure, or a little bit of both. We’ve thoughtfully stocked our beach home to make sure you feel comfortable, welcome, and right at home.
We look forward to being part of your next unforgettable getaway!

Why they chose this property

Imagine waking up to the sound of waves crashing just outside your window, sipping coffee on the balcony with a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean. That’s everyday life at Pajaro Dunes—a quiet, gated beachfront community tucked between Santa Cruz and Monterey.

What we love most about this neighborhood is its peaceful, untouched feel. There are no busy streets or crowds—just miles of soft sandy beach, natural dunes, and incredible sunsets. It’s a perfect place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and spend quality time with family and friends.

The area is great for beach walks, bird watching, and stargazing on clear nights. And when you’re ready to explore, you’re just a short drive from local favorites like Capitola’s charming shops and restaurants, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, and the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Pajaro Dunes is truly a hidden gem—and we love sharing it with our guests.

What makes this property unique

What makes our place truly special is the unbeatable beachfront location paired with all the comforts of home. You’re just steps from the sand, with sweeping ocean views from the balcony—perfect for sunrise coffee or sunset wine.

Inside, we’ve gone beyond the basics. Guests love the thoughtfully stocked kitchen, cozy fireplace, and all the extras for families and kids—like games, toys, and even a ping pong table. We also offer modern conveniences like free WiFi, a workspace, and an EV charger, so you can stay connected or work remotely with ease.

It’s peaceful, private, and designed to make every guest feel welcome—whether you're planning a romantic weekend, a family beach trip, or a longer stay by the coast. Our guests often tell us it feels like their own little slice of paradise—and we couldn’t agree more.
