Ocean Front family Home with Panoramic Views

If it is your first time staying with us, please send me an inquiry before you book. The calendar will be open to VRBO reservations within 30 days of today's date. I encourage returning visitors to inquire about dates beyond 30 days as there is availability. Thank You.

Pajaro Dunes is a quiet gated community of custom homes with diverse architecture located half way between Santa Cruz and Monterey. Our house is directly on Sunset State Beach where you can walk for miles along the white sand beach.

This 1,600 square foot beach front home has four bedrooms, three baths and an unobstructed 180 degree view of the ocean.

Our kitchen has maple cabinets and granite counters. The house is very well insulated which makes for cozy evenings in front of the Danish wood burning stove.

A great room with kitchen, dining, and living room is on the upper floor along with two master bedrooms. From here the view of the Pacific is unobstructed from Monterey to Santa Cruz. The kitchen includes all the essentials for cooking and baking and includes a new GE induction range. In the evening you can enjoy a movie on the 58" 4K Sony smart TV.

This home is ideal for two couples and four or five children. (We recommend no more than six adults and suggest that more than eight total visitors will be tight.) The two upstairs bedrooms have both valley and ocean views. Each has new Avocado king beds and its own compact bathroom with tub/shower.

The downstairs is designed for children; The south bedroom has four twin beds (one is a trundle.) The north bedroom has two twin beds (one is a trundle) and a full bed. A compartmented bathroom with shower shares space with a new washer and dryer. The covered entry area has plenty of space to store beach toys.

Our house is powered by a photoelectric array, for a very green experience. Feel free to plug in your electric car in our 110v plug (4 MPH charge). A mile away at the Gatehouse are two Charge Point electric car chargers (both level II). (This is not shown on the ChargePoint app. but is available to any Pajaro Dunes visitor.)

The area abounds in bird life, and more than a hundred species winter on Monterey Bay. Depending on the season, dolphins and sea otters frequent the waters, and on rare occasions one may spot breaching or spouting whales.

There is a driveway with on site parking for two or three cars. (The majority of beach front homes at Pajaro Dunes are reached by boardwalk). The tennis courts are a short walk from the house. Please note that although our house is located just above the beach, the beach is accessed by a boardwalk three doors down.

Our insurer requires a signed contract for all visitors.

Pajaro Delight

We had a wonderful time visiting Jerry’s home at Pajaro. The location and view is just perfect, nothing beats falling to sleep with the ocean waves just outside your window. Nearby in Moss Landing and Watsonville are multiple farm stands to stock up on all the fruits and vegetables that you need, making homemade dinners in the kitchen a dream. Our son flew kites in the wind and boogie boarded with seals. The rolling fog adds to the allure. We loved our stay and hope to be back.

Phenomenal location and view. Easy walk to the beach. We've stayed and many Pajaro Dunes properties over the years and this was the best by a mile. Intimate, homey and a billion dollar view. We'll be coming back!

Another perfect week

My family and I spent another week at Jerry's and it was fantastic. We love this location—close enough to Monterey and Carmel for little day trips, but far enough to avoid the daily tourist traffic. We saw dolphins, seals, and a very curious sea otter from our seats at breakfast; speaking of, we appreciate the fully appointed kitchen with lots of dishes and serving plates for beautiful family meals.

A perfect beach sanctuary

This home is a family vacation dream — spotless, unpretentious, and welcoming space, the coziest beds, and a perfect view to boot. Our group cooked and grilled on the deck every night and we were so pleased with the kitchen; it really has everything you need. We were also lucky to catch sight of some sea otters from the beach! Can't wait to come back to the dunes.

Holiday Weekend

We stayed at house 69 for the 4th of July holiday weekend and had a great time. The view and direct access to the beach was amazing. Jerry was a great host and very responsive and informative. The house was very clean and in good condition but could use some updating with decor and furnishings.

Perfect for families

We had a great time in this comfortable house! There was plenty of space to relax and the view of the beach was amazing out the wall to wall windows in the front. There were two bedrooms downstairs for kids and two master suites up stairs for the adults. The beds were very comfortable too. The kitchen was very well appointed and even had a Nespresso machine if you bring the pods for it. Our family would definitely book this great place again!

I may be shooting myself in the foot by sharing this, (don’t become too popular) but the location is much more beautiful than the photos suggest. The property is great and the hosts could not be more hospitable.

Labor Day Weekend Getaway

Four of us, my daughter & husband, my son and I spent a delightful weekend here. The location is fabulous - as is the view from the front windows. There is also a wonderful outside spot to sit in the sand where we enjoyed the sunsets. The owner is pleasant to work with and very responsive. We'll be back!
