Head to the beach for sun filled days in the sand and central coast breezes.

Kids can safely come and go to the beach, just footsteps away. Pack your imagination for building world class sandcastles. Or boogie boarding in the never ending surf or throw a football or fly a kite.

This distinctive 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath beach condo has just undergone an extensive remodel and updating. All surfaces have received a creative designer's touch.

Bright hardwood flooring in the open space living/dining areas, bedroom carpeting, GE kitchen appliances, attractive doors and trim, shutters on all windows, Kohler bathroom fixtures, contemporary paint colors and beautiful mood setting lighting are all new.

A new Nespresso and Aeroccino awaits your morning coffee routine. Stormio and Melazio pods provided.,

Bedrooms are exquisitely appointed with new beds of differing firmness, hi-thread count cotton linens, providing uncompromising comfort for your beach vacation. Each bedroom has a built-in closet with generous space, a dresser and a large decorative wall mounted mirror.

The living room has generous amounts of natural light with immediate south beach views towards Monterey Bay and east views to the slough, ideal for bird watching.

The kitchen counter-tops are DuPont Zodiac surfaces in fresh surf white and celestial blue, bringing the ocean indoor. The cabinets are stocked with kitchen utensils and cookware for your vacation culinary needs. New GE appliances and a deep stainless steel sink, all shine under the accent lighting.

Lounging on the couch with a book in front of the wood burning fire place is totally acceptable after having walked the entire length of the 3 mile beach and back or having played multiple sets of tennis with your family and friends. The living room provides gazing opportunities to the inviting beach outside.

A 65" flat-screen LED TV over the fireplace is connected to a Blue-ray DVD player and hi-definition cable service. Although unlikely when on vacation, if you need to stay connected to the office, we have upgraded the unit with wireless internet up to 100 mb speed. The TV is capable of streaming Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime. we have an AppleTV4 provided for your convenience if you want to use your personal Apple account.

Grab your camera and binoculars for spectacular nature experiences, birding and beach combing.

Or pack your clubs and enjoy world class golfing at nearby Pebble Beach or Pasatiempo - Santa Cruz.

Bring your road bikes for coastal cycling into Aptos, climbing out of Watsonville to Mt Madonna or cycle though Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach.

Enjoy days trips to Monterey Bay Aquarium and Fisherman's Wharf, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk & Amusements.

Spend a few solitary hours surf fishing on the beach for perch, halibut, smelt and striped bass. Or rent a Kayak at Elkhorn Slough.

This beach condo has it all. Stylish comfort, romantic opportunities, fun for the family and close to many amenities.

Parking is available with walk up access. Trolleys are provided for unloading your car. Within minutes, you'll be settled in and relaxing.

The HOA no longer allows use of BBQ grilles or any open flame on our building's decks.

Pleasant quiet place
Great place for a quiet beach stay to have a big beach to yourself. I would plan to bring more food to cook next trip due to not having the best food options nearby.

Great place for a quiet getaway
I’ve been renting houses and condos at Pajaro Dunes for over 40 years and this was by far one of the cleanest and well stocked. It’s on the quiet side (Pelican Point) and a great place to relax and disconnect from work (or connect if you need to as well!) we totally enjoyed our stay!

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

Clean fresh air !
