Welcome to Pajaro Dunes where wispy sea-grass blows in the sea air on miles of uncrowded, white sandy beaches. Our secluded vacation home community offers the best of California Coastal living!
Serene and modern, this spacious 2 bed - 2 bath fully renovated condo has ocean views throughout.
While overlooking the ocean from the living room you will appreciate the warmth of the fireplace on chilly evenings.
Maser bedroom w/ en-suite bathroom and an abundance of natural lighting. Two twin beds in the second bedroom and a 2nd full bathroom offer our guests comfort during your stay.
A fully appointed kitchen and large dining table perfect to share a meal, a game of cards or a lovely chat at the end of an adventure filled day.
Vacations are cherished experiences. A romantic get-away, a peaceful retreat with friends/family, an inspirational place to work from home, or looking to get in touch with nature. Here you can and watch the seals, dolphins and otters play in the surf and perhaps even a peek at the migrating whales. You'll find egrets & herons, pelicans soaring overhead or sandelings darting across the sand. There is no shortage of wildlife on land or sea.
Come to relax and enjoy all that our private gated community has to offer or venture out to the nearby towns of Capitola, Monterey, Carmel and Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
Our Association offers Bonfires on the beach with Smores, and the best part is that the staff at Pajaro Dunes will set up everything for you.
There is also a convenience store on the premises with an amazing selection of food, wine and sundries. Forgot something? No problem...this convenient shop has thought of almost everything, is open 7 days a week and also offers great gifts and souvenirs to remember your trip.
Sorry...we do love furry, four-legged friends, but in consideration of all guests, we do not allow pets.
The dunes at Pajaro await you!

Quiet peaceful area. Lovely room just steps from the beach. We really enjoyed the uncrowded area and ambiance of the resort.
Shannon and Candice were absolutely wonderful hosts! They provided a quiet, peaceful sanctuary for my family to gather during an important planning event. This is a true space where we could work, rest, and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. While the property feels beautifully secluded from the day-to-day hustle, it remains close enough to easily access everything we needed. Gathering in downtown Morgan Hill for dinner with extended family and returning to the comfort of the Guest House was both convenient and highly productive for our needs. I strongly recommend Shannon, Candice, and their exceptional Guest House for anyone visiting the Bay Area.
Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. The property is nicer than the great pictures would show and the communication was outstanding. An incredible location with easy access to the Monterey Peninsula Capitola, and the whole area cannot recommend it enough. We will be back for certain.
My wife and I really enjoyed being in such a well-provisioned, comfortable place so near to the beach. It was very clean and had everything we needed for a thoroughly enjoyable stay.Our host, Maria, went far above and beyond expectations in response to a few concerns we had at the start of our three-night stay. We called her to inform her of a few things that were not working properly, and within about 90 minutes, she had Instacart deliver replacements (some better for our needs than what she already had), plus several other goodies like candies, popcorn, and cookies as kind gestures to make up for our minimal inconvenience. We could not have asked for a more immediate, thorough, and accommodating response to our concerns.If we return to Pajara Dunes, we will certainly return to Maria's place. She's a wonderful host (better than we've ever had in a VRBO rental), and we wholeheartedly recommend this place to others looking to stay in Pajaro Dunes.
The ocean view and accommodations were amazing! We highly recommend this property. Also, the staff at the condo association were very friendly and helpful.
We have stayed at Maria's property now three times. We always love our stay and the nice relaxing time at the beach. If you are looking to stay at a great beach condo dont pass this property up.

Maria was very kind and flexible with our stay. Condo was amazing, super clean, right on the beach with everything you’d need. If a remote relaxing trip is what you’re looking for, this is it!
This place is so awesome! Comfy beds and a relaxing living/dining room area. We left the patio door open to hear the ocean and it was so peaceful. Beautiful sunsets to enjoy from inside too after coming in from the beach. It’s a 3000 mile trip for me, but if I come back out I will rent this location again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I love hearing that you felt comfortable and relaxed, and that you could enjoy the ocean sounds and sunsets right from the condo—that’s exactly the kind of experience we hope for our guests. I know it’s a long trip, and it means a lot that you’d choose to stay with us again. You’ll always be welcome back anytime your travels bring you this way
Maria is great, we have rented numerous times. We love her property and plan to visit in the future. Our guests can't say enough how they love it. Thanks!
Maria was super-responsive even though we booked at the last minute. The unit is fully remodeled and very clean. The stairs to the beach are right next door. The beach is not too crowded!
Excellent property and one of the best in Pajaro Dunes. Hope to visit again soon.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so happy to hear the condo feels like home to you — that’s exactly what I hope for all my guests. It’s always a joy to host you, and I look forward to welcoming you back on your next coastal visit!
The house was amazing, with a fully stocked kitchen! Also fully stocked for a beach day! A perfect location, protected from afternoon beezes, and the perfect deck to watch the sunset! Maria was extremely helpful, going above and beyond to answer all of my questions. Would whole heartedly recommend and will definately stay again when I'm in that area! Than you. Maria, for an amazing vacation!

About the host
Hosted by Maria Diaz
Dear Guests,
Welcome to our Beach Home! My husband and I live in Saratoga, California. We have (2) adult sons and we recently purchased this beautiful retreat at Pajaro Dunes. I am a Construction Manager for a real estate developer in Los Gatos, and my husband is in construction.
I am an experienced Short Term Rental Host, as I managed my boss's (4) luxury estates for 5 years. This listing is new so we don't have any reviews, however I have 5 star ratings on all the properties I have ever managed and I promise to bring that experience and commitment to our properties.
Please note that we have properties coming online in Maui, Sierra Nevada, Saratoga & High Point NC soon!
We look forward to having you as our guest!!! Maria
