About this property

Incredible Oceanfront Luxury ~ VIEWS ~ Billiards/Pong * new grocery delivery!

There is NO other rental home like this at Pajaro Dunes -- it is very large, oceanfront, generously equipped and offers wide open views from Monterey to Santa Cruz. Live the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" on your vacation and share with your nearest and dearest.

"BEST OF DUNES" manages ONLY Pajaro Dunes homes, 100% through a Pajaro Dunes homeowner / rental professional who is available 24/7 for your custom needs. We provide 5-star service 24/7, and the best homes for rent at Pajaro Dunes.

Highlights: beachfront LUXE with 180 degree views; several GOLF options; TWO amazing chef's kitchens fully stocked; play inside and out with games/toys/pool table/pingpong/pickleball/
tennis/basketball/volleyball/surfing/more!

House 59 is a 4500+ SqFt, double-wide single family home with 75 feet of beach frontage and a 50 foot long balcony - unusually large for a front row home at Pajaro Dunes! This home will exceed your expectations in ways you never thought possible at Pajaro Dunes. Due to house height restrictions you simply will not find another home of this size and capacity in the oceanfront row of homes -- secure your spot now so you don't have to break up your family into multiple properties!

The layout of this home offers the ultimate convenience for multiple families or multiple generations who want to stay in one home together rather than rent multiple properties. Two full primary bedroom suites offer mom and dad, and grandma and grandpa, all the luxury and privacy you deserve. Enjoy ALL your time together in quality accommodations for a combined cost that is less than the price of two rental homes!

NOTE: NEW ELECTRIC FIREPLACE WITH REMOTE CONTROL- no wood

This home has five separate bedrooms (two with private bathrooms), and many, many conversation spaces. A family/media room downstairs can be used as a sixth "open" sleep area with fold down couches (adding two more full sized beds = 7 total beds comprised of 4 king, 2 full size couches, and 1 queen bed.

Enjoy the incredible sunsets with a gourmet dinner or a glass of wine from two chaise lounges. Look for humpback whale spouts, dolphins, seals, and coastal birds from this incredible vantagepoint.

Great house for family gatherings

This house is definitely set up for large groups. The extra kitchen allows for more refrigerator space and a 2nd oven came in handy. The pool table/ ping pong table was a huge hit with the family. The steps to get to the were more than I expected but the trolley cart was a huge help. The basement bedrooms and play space allows everyone to find their own space. We loved being able to walk down the path a short way to the beach access stairway.

Absolutely Wonderful!

This house is the perfect size for a large family! Everyone was comfortable in their own, quiet, comfortable bedrooms. The multiple sitting areas assured everyone had a place to enjoy the wonderful views! We had the best time doing a family craft, while watching old home movies in the massive great room...and did I mention the amazing ocean view! The host was great with communication.

beautiful location

The location right on the beach was magnificent. The house was very clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for the 10 of us. The only negative is not having parking right at the house We had to use a cart with our belongings along a path, then we had to carry everything up the stairs to the house. Otherwise, we had a great time.

Beautiful Beachfront Home.

Beautiful beach property with a great ocean view. My family and I enjoyed our stay very much. Plenty of room for all 14 of us and a short walk to the beach. There was an issue with our 4:00 check in and didn’t get in until around 4:30. The check out cleaning process is a bit much but my family got everything done and out on time. With that said we would definitely stay here again.

This location was above and beyond our expectations! The house is amazing and has space and activities for all ages. We loved whale and dolphin watching from the deck, playing pool in the living room, boogie boarding in the ocean, cooking fine meals in the 2 kitchens, long walks on the beach, and watching several movies of the 900 in the playroom!

Wonderful family vacation retreat.

The host was very communicative and easy to reach at any time. The wide open main floor was a terrific place for all to both be together and to participate in different activities at the same time. The beach access is fantastic! The outdoor shower/hoses enabled us to keep the outdoor sand outdoors. We swam, surfed, and boogie boarded near dolphins, sea otters, and even a couple of whales. The parking was convenient and the small carts useful for moving belongings from car to house. The kitchens are well-stocked with every tool and appliance needed. It was vey helpful to have 2 dishwashers with our large group.

Fabulous home with fabulous beach location

This home is well appointed with anything anyone could want for a fun and restful getaway. The house itself has movies galore, many large TV's, a ping pong/pool table, games for both adults and kids. There is a ton of room to segregate the house into several separate areas of activities all at one time. The two kitchens are extremely well stocked with plenty of table and cookware for extended families. The abundant bedrooms are comfortable and bathrooms are very clean. The community has tennis and pickleball courts for use. The area is beautiful with many outdoor activities from an amazing beach right out your door, to kayaking, horseback riding, and bicycling. But the best part is just sitting on the huge deck and watching the ocean. It is an amazing location with many seabirds, we also saw whales, dolphins, and even an otter. We had a group of 8 adults for an extended family gathering and everyone had a wonderful time.

View cannot be beat!

We loved the view, the house layout and the location. Though some furniture was well loved ( and as I understand was being replaced AFTER we left), the house was comfortable and had plenty of space for all ages to gather in different areas and as a group. You don't find many properties with 4 king sized beds and that is such a plus over Queen sized beds. The kitchens were well stocked with cooking spices, utensils and cookware. There were well posted notes at the house to answer most questions or the property manager was quick to respond to any concerns. The playroom was a plus as well as the extra pull out beds. It would be the perfect house if there was another bathroom on the bedroom ground floor - BUT there was a full bathroom and 1/2 on the upper floor. We really enjoyed the seating areas and would have loved staying around the dining room table more but the chairs were so worn down we couldn't sit there for long and linger. Again, this was to be taken care of after we were there. Otherwise I would have no hesitation about renting this property. We found it easy to get in town (the road is quite rough so be cautious and a working corridor for the farmers and workers)to get groceries, to eat out or visit other communities in the area to see the sights like the redwood forest andthe Monterey Aquarium. But the best was just being on the beach, collecting sand dollars and watching the grandkids dig in the sand.

Great location; unreasonable property owner

The views are obviously beautiful. The location is beachside. These are things you know from looking at the pictures. It's fantastic. Here's what you don't know: Every bed and pillow is covered in plastic, including the master bedrooms and you are strictly told not to remove them. What an incredibly uncomfortable sleeping experience. They claim this is because of COVID restrictions but no California or CDC regulation even remotely states this. Blankets/duvets are not washed (which are told about and encouraged not to use as these are provided "for convenience"). The checkout list is absolutely insane. First, there is a $450 cleaning fee. It's steep. But you are expected to wash/dry/fold all beach towels. Run all dishes and put them away before leaving. Strip linens and bag them (okay this is somewhat normal). Remove trash from every trash can and centralize it. And a whole litany of other items. We actually were methodical about going through this list and putting things away because I'm mildly OCD and I knew they were hanging onto a $5000 security deposit. Yet, after our stay, we got a note about there being crumbs and food smudges "everywhere". Thank god I took pictures of the house before we left. Water heater broke. Because, of course it did. But they didn't send a plumber to address it. I had to spend 30 minutes on the phone with them turning off breakers and shutting valves to help resolve this issue. And then we lost access to a shower. Great. Got nothing back for that. The house itself is exactly what you see in the pictures and we were happy with it. But never again with these owners. Save your self the headache and stress and find a different property.
