About this property

Pajaro Dunes Resort: On the Beach Vacation Getaway, Just Steps to the Sand

Welcome to Pajaro Dunes Resort. We cannot wait to share our beach condo with you at Shorebirds 72. We just finished our remodel and excited to share our piece of paradise. Our one-bedroom, one-bath beach-level condo is in Building C, offering some of the closest access to the sand you’ll find at Pajaro Dunes. Located right along the dunes, this first-floor home places you just steps from the beach—so close that when you’re relaxing inside and looking out through the sliding glass doors, you can see the beach and watch the waves roll in from the living room and patio.

The condo sleeps up to four guests with a King bed in the master bedroom and a comfortable sofa sleeper in the living room, making it ideal for couples or small families seeking a true beachfront escape.

Completed in January 2026, the full remodel includes a brand-new kitchen with quartz countertops, all-new appliances, and a Keurig coffee maker, along with a newly updated bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and modern finishes.

The living room is warm and inviting with a new electric fireplace, dimmable lighting throughout, and a Smart Roku TV with Spectrum cable and all the popular streaming apps. The master bedroom also features a Smart Roku TV for added comfort. Additional amenities include in-unit laundry, a Cuisinart electric BBQ, games and puzzles, and even a telescope for marine life watching. As an added bonus, guests enjoy two complimentary Monterey Bay Aquarium passes. With unbeatable proximity to the beach, thoughtful upgrades throughout, and sweeping coastal views, Shorebirds 72 offers a front-row seat to the ocean and an effortless way to enjoy the Pajaro Dunes shoreline.

Experience the best of the coast at the Pajaro Dunes Resort! Make memories with loved ones and enjoy life at the beach.
