Lovely Beachfront Condo

We really enjoyed this clean, comfortable, well-appointed condo right on the beach! We had a full ocean view from the deck and master bedroom with incredible sunsets. The spacious modern kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner. The building was quiet and well-maintained. We will definitely return!

relaxing retreat at the beach with old friends

We were very happy with the size, beautiful setting, bedroom set up and cleanliness of the unit #340 at Shorebirds. We enjoyed a couple meals out in Moss landing just 15 minutes away- and had lots of great re-connecting in the comfy living room. Great access to the beach- nice long walks and caught amazing sunsets every night. We would definitely stay here again. Very convenient from San Jose Morgan Hill area- less than an hour- but felt like a paradise.
