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.

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.

We love the comfort and amenities at the property. We always come back to stay here whenever we can. The property has everything we need and is clean. I would recommend to anyone but I also want to keep it for ourselves. Thank you Paul.

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!

Beautiful location and view
The pictures on VRBO do not entirely do justice to the beauty of the location or the amazing view from the main room and the deck. The condo had everything we needed for a wonderful stay.

Loved this Location
We really enjoyed our stay. The location with both River and Ocean views was wonderful, especially during some heavy winter storms. We were warm and cosy inside, and the beach was easily accessible for long walks between storms. The condo was comfortable and was well equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals. Would stay again.
