The Tide's Edge : Steps to the Beach

Welcome to your serene oceanfront retreat at Pajaro Dunes Shorebirds! This beautifully renewed condo offers a perfect escape with direct access to the sand and ocean from your private deck - Hear the ocean at THE CLOSEST UNIT TO THE BEACH

Step inside and discover an updated full kitchen, a modern & cozy living room complete with an electric fireplace - invites relaxation. In the spacious bedroom, a slider opens to the exterior deck, allowing you to wake up to the soothing sounds of the waves!

Escape to "The Tide's Edge," a stunning mid-century modern beach front condo in Pajaro Dunes. Hear the waves crashing at CLOSEST UNIT TO OCEAN. Just an hour away from Silicon Valley, this tranquil retreat offers a serene oasis right ON the most pristine stretch of beach in all of Northern California. Secluded yet accessible, it's the perfect place for a family to unwind and recharge, whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure.
High speed internet and a dedicated work area makes this the ideal "work from paradise" location.

Guests can use the entire property, as well as common areas of the Pajaro Dunes Resort, including the famous beach club with recreational facilities, such as tennis, pickleball, and picnic area). The entire gated community is highly walkable, and includes a beautiful boardwalk to check out the unique coastal architecture of the area, and a paved trail that runs right by the slough - perfect for jogging and biking. And of course, the pristine beach that goes on for miles in both directions, all the way from Manresa beach to the North, to the mouth of the Pajaro River to the south (where you can literally find a million shorebirds)!

We had a lovely stay here with two children. This clean condo is steps from the beach. The bedding was comfortable and kitchen was stocked. We also enjoyed the games closet and sand toys.
