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.
