About this property

VIEWS TO CALM THE SOUL -- A PERFECT GETAWAY

  • As soon as you step in the door of this ground level condominium, you've begun to relax. The large picture window with views of both the river and the ocean, and the shoreline of Monterey in the distance, are always visible from the living area (open style living room, a kitchen and dining room).

    READ THE REVIEWS FROM OUR PREVIOUS GUESTS... THEY DESCRIBE PELICAN 75 BETTER THAN WE CAN !!! (You'll notice that our location is one of the most frequently mentioned features of where we are in Pajaro Dunes.)

    From the 2 sofas in the living room you can read peacefully or watch a movie. If you chose to cook, you don't have to be away from the outdoor views and can enjoy a fully-equipped kitchen to prepare happy hour for the beach or to put on the salmon for dinner. The glass doors off the living room take you to the deck, where you'll likely enjoy most meals. (The pelicans usually provide fascinating entertainment.)

    The master bedroom, with a California King bed and television, has its own full bath. The 2nd bedroom has 1 double bed with a single trundle underneath. Washer and dryer. Second full bathroom. Roku TV. Internet access.

    NOTE: Due to fire restrictions outdoor grilling is not permitted. We apologize for any inconvenience.

    This gated community includes pickle ball & tennis & basketball courts and lots of bike riding, walking paths.

We had a wonderful time at the condo! It met all our needs, was comfortable, quiet and calming, and easy access to Sunset Beach. While we only stayed for a couple of days, I could easily see us staying for quite a bit longer. Best place we've ever stayed at Pajaro Dunes.

Excellent location and views. We had a hard time at check in since 2 other names had checked in for the same day! We do not know if it was a technical glitch but we had to wait a long time to be let in since security had to check first.

A much needed "unplug and recharge" was what we were after, and the condo was absolutely spot on for that. Located at the end of the dunes, in a very secure development, with the comforts of home. We enjoyed the well equipped condo, the lovely views, and the easy access / walk to the beach. It didn't hurt that we also enjoyed sunny skies and a comfortable temperature while there. We look forward to a future return trip!

We had a wonderful two-night stay! The condo was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We loved the privacy of being next-to-the-last unit — it felt like we had that whole area to ourselves. It’s just a short, easy walk to the beach, so having the privacy, yet quick access to the beach made it a perfect place for us to stay. Our only regret was that we didn't bring binoculars!. Such a peaceful, relaxing spot — we’d definitely stay again.
