"Pura Vida" (poo-rah vee-dah) means "simple life" or "pure life." Pura Vida is the philosophy of life in Costa Rica... it is an emotion, an attitude ... it’s happiness in its purest form.
The owners of 7 Sanderling aim to bring the Pura Vida life to Pajaro Dunes and Monterey Bay, with a wonderful four-bedroom beach home where you feel your cares melt away. The home promotes a happy mood with its light yellow walls and peacefulness and balance with its soothing furnishings in taupe, gray, and rich wood. It is fresh, clean and ready after a complete remodel!
This home is outfitted perfectly either for families to share, or for groups of adults to get away. It has four private bedrooms and can easily host four couples (2 K, 2 Q). For families, it offers flexible options for sleeping adults and kids in 10 separate beds (2K, 2Q, 4T bunks, 2 T floor mattresses) in 4 proper bedrooms. This home can accommodate up to 12 adults/children total.
7 Sanderling has FULL OCEAN VIEWS from the living area, kitchen, master bedroom, back deck. Out the back door is a wonderful bluff with lounge chairs for afternoons spent chatting, spotting dolphins, seals and perhaps even whales. A clever parent can make a contest out of food and beverage service, ensuring a steady stream of little helpers bringing goodies to the grown ups in the lounge chairs!
The billiards area is beyond! A pool table with pub tables, stools, a cool glass atrium and ocean views is custom made for hanging out and socializing day and night.
This two-story home is appropriate for grandparents or anyone with physical challenges who can climb one set of stairs. The approach to the home from the parking area is perfectly flat, then climb one set of stairs to the top floor of the home, and with 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms right on that main upstairs living level. The other 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom are downstairs and away from the main living area.
The main living level upstairs includes: - NEW open kitchen with electric ceramic flat-top range and microwave - Dining area (seats 12 at dining table and breakfast bar) - Living room area with huge, new Smart TV - 2 King bedrooms both with private bathrooms (one with soaking tub), bidets and TVs - Hall half-bathroom with sink and toilet - Amazing center atrium BILLIARDS LOUNGE adjoining kitchen and living area with pool table, pub tables/stools and a rack of pool cues - Large ocean-view deck with two sets of outdoor tables, chairs+benches for 12, and patio umbrellas - Path to panoramic view bluff at edge of sea wall, bench and 2 lounge chairs
The downstairs level includes: - Queen bedroom with slider directly to back deck with beach grass view - "Bunk room" with Queen bed plus two sets of twin bunkbeds plus two twin floor mattresses, also with slider directly to back deck with beach grass view. Note the floor mattresses can be used anywhere in the house, linens provided. - Shared, large full bathroom with shower *and* tub - Washer/dryer
While the deck and view from this oceanfront home are perched right over the beach, none of the homes at Pajaro Dunes have direct access to the beach due to a 10' high granite sea wall below the dune. The actual beach access takes two minutes down a short boardwalk from the front door of the home -- just two houses over and one set of stairs down to the beach.
[Note: Pajaro Dunes does not allow renters to bring dogs or cats. Some try anyway. This is NOT the house to try to bring animals to. The owner's family are VERY allergic to the dander left behind.]
Note: Security camera views outdoor space that is also visible by public.

Excellent ocean view and access to the beach. This house has it all. The bedrooms were all comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. Lots of family space. Great open kitchen. The perfect place for vacation with family. Anytime we had a question the host addressed it right away. If you want to stay on the beach this is the place for you!

Thank you David, it was a pleasure to host you and your family. I greatly appreciate your business and good cheer despite a slight hiccup with the HOA in getting your parking pass for a few minutes upon entry!
The host was excellent and thoughtful making sure we had everything we needed. The house is beautiful and very clean. Wonderful view right on the beach. Nice outdoor sitting area on the dunes overlooking the beach. Upstairs with two bedrooms and 2&1/2 bathrooms was very nice for the two single people while the downstairs with 2 bedrooms and a full bath worked out great for a family with young children. 6 TV’s in this house!! Loved our stay here.

Kathy, thank you for your feedback and sharing your enjoyment! Thank you for being a great guest.
Great place, terrific location, good facilities. Didn't particularly like the management company -- confining us to no more than 5 people and three cars, when we were renting a place advertized to sleep 12. Plus no hot water when we arrived, which was quickly resolved, so they are on the job, just kind of preemptive and unpleasant. Also couldn't figure out how to use the Raku TV though they said to call if we needed help. I didn't feel like calling them to get talked through a technical issue, so we just didn't watch the movies we were planning to stream. Got the sense that they were trying to make their jobs easier rather than making our stay more pleasant.

This is a surprise and super disheartening as it seems to be based on assumptions that are not accurate. They were never limited to five people and three cars, those were the guest's own totals provided. I was available 24/7 with my personal cell to call and text. The "management company" is a person providing direct individual service immediately to any guest when anything comes up. I had the water heating up within a few minutes after they called/arrived - the breaker had just tripped unexpectedly. I convinced her to flip the breaker, which was a challenge as she was certain that was not the issue and I did not want to interrupt the guest's comments. Anticipating from her comments that they might have problems with some basic functions, I proactively offered tips to use the Roku remote for streaming which is the easiest, and automatically deletes their login info upon departure. I never heard from this guest again. It sounds like they did not have the TV set to the Roku input which would have been a simple fix. I don't understand the notion of making the job easier as these folks were supported personally and quickly whenever needed.
Wonderful location. Mostly excellent, but in some need of maintenance, showing signs of weathering.

thank you for your comments and glad you enjoyed your stay! I believe the guest is referring to an outdoor table that broke when an umbrella hit it because the table was rusted from the ocean. Within an hour our cleaners were there to clean and take away the entire mess And of course we did not hold the breakage against the renter. They were provided substitute tables and said they were just fine. We provide that level of service at every opportunity.
Regrettably a four star review harms a host business substantially and can take away premier host status so please consider in the context of a beautiful oceanfront home, location, excellent service - whether one incident swiftly expertly handled warrants a demerit on the whole stay.
We had a great long weekend away at the beach. The house is roomy, views of the ocean are amazing with beach access very close. A great kitchen to cook and entertain with comfortable seating in the family room. The only negative was the power went out one evening but we made do. A couple areas to improve are the bed mattress and the outdoor area.
Great house, big enough for everybody without feeling cramped. The views are unbeatable and the large windows allow you to enjoy the beach rain or shine.
Excellent location, superb home on the beach and complete satisfaction with everything that was needed for 12 family members of all ages. Will be back

Lynn, I love your title because it IS like a new house! You were one of the first to stay after a renovation down to the studs! Thank you for sharing the beauty... hope to see you again!
Perfect location with great views of the water! We had 12 people staying in the house and it was roomy and well equipped. Easy drive to Santa Cruz and Monterey. The rental process was easy. We would stay there again.
Outstanding place to stay and everything was top notch all around! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to another one soon. Host stayed in contact to make sure everything was going well.
House is nice and large, very nice floor plan, had a lot of games and equipment we could use.
Loved the location with it being right on the beach! Some spectacular views when it wasn't foggy :)
Communication was great as well! Any questions we had were answered right away!
Priceless to spend your day in the backyard…which happens to be on the Monterey Bay! The home afforded our family of five privacy and comfort! Kitchen was well equipped and a great place make some culinary delights!

A relaxing peacefulness that allows for a pause in life in order to reflect on what really matters.
The view was amazing and the house was perfect. Smiles from ear to ear from all guests and they couldn't stop saying how peaceful and beautiful it was and they were so thankful for the experience.
