About this property

Spectacular Modern Oceanfront at Pajaro Dunes * new grocery delivery!

"BEST OF DUNES" is an established rental manager that provides 5-star service 24/7, and the best homes for rent at Pajaro Dunes. Best of Dunes has opened the 2025 rental calendar up to 365 days out as available - write us if you don't see your dates! Sending an inquiry is awesome to join our email list to receive special offers and discounts, and earliest availability of open dates!

This home will host up to 14 adults/kids. The count includes infants/kids, and any "visitors" even if they don't sleep over.

New for 2025: order your groceries for delivery from Watsonville Safeway or Nob Hill and coordinate with us to have them put in the fridge the day of your arrival!

House 15 rises from the dune as a striking modern glass home with 360 degree views of ocean, mountain and farm. This home will host up to 10 adults/kids + 4 additional kids of any age.

Approaching House 15, the dramatic architecture will take your breath away... there is no other house like it on the Monterey Bay coast. Once inside, the views are incredible. Enjoy watching dolphins, seals, and wide open beach views from inside or out on the deck. Keep a lookout for the occasional humpback whale spout on the horizon!

The beach stairs are right next to this home, giving the feel of private access right out your yard and just steps to the beach. Anyone who prefers to stay inside can watch all that happens on the beach below. A cozy reading nook with beach and ocean views will be your happy place.

The living area and bedrooms are all on one floor - especially great for grandparents and little kids. The bedrooms are well separated from the living space, providing quiet and privacy. Polished concrete floors complement the soaring architecture, with cozy carpeting in the five bedrooms.

Enjoy the wood burning fireplace while gathering for a movie on the flat screen living room TV. Or, our second flat screen TV can keep kids entertained in another room while grownups socialize in the great room.

Store tons of food in the NEW large stainless fridge/freezer, and enjoy the NEW Jenn-Air cooktop. The kitchen is stocked with all the amenities you need -- or, order in! We provide delivery menus for local delivery restaurants that will come to Pajaro Dunes, so even Mom gets to relax at the beach while someone else cooks!

GREAT WIFI! Plenty of bandwidth for simultaneous work/school streaming.

The five bedrooms are configured as follows:
(1) Primary bedroom: King (ocean view)
(2) Corner office (separated by pocket doors from primary bedroom): FULL size futon (ocean view) - bright with light filtering shades
(3) Bedroom 3: Queen, Twin daybed, Twin trundle (valley/farm view)
(4) Bedroom 4: Queen, Twin bunk overhead, plus Twin floor mattress (valley/farm view)
(5) Bedroom 5: Queen (ocean and valley/farm view)

The three full bathrooms are spacious, clean, modern and private.

All bedrooms have a portable desk, chair, and desk light available in closet for your work and school purposes!

After a romp on the beach, wash down your kids with the hot/cold outdoor shower. We have beach chairs for your entire group, and a beach umbrella.

The Weber propane grill is on a view deck so even the grill chef can enjoy the scenery while rustling up some grub.

House 15 will become your annual destination for making cherished family memories year after year. It books out well in advance so make your reservations while your dates are available!

Fine print:
Security camera views outdoor entry space that is also visible by public. Pajaro Dunes does not allow pets and we strictly enforce this. We also enforce the same headcount maximum day AND night. We do not host events or gatherings beyond the person maximum (all adults/kids included). Any guests renting multiple homes should NOT plan on renting House 15, it does not participate in multiple home situations.

Beach Bliss!

Everything was as described in the listing, and the actual experience of it was even better than we anticipated!! We had a family group ages 2-62, and there was something for everyone to enjoy. Having the balcony to sit on and read, soak up the sun, or just get lost in the rhythm of the waves, was such wonderful thing. The balcony is in the pictures, but you have to be there to experience the feeling of any stress you came in with being washed away. Also, you’re close enough to connect with your people on the sand, and that’s such a gift when you’ve got babies that need naps, etc. the neighborhood also has a wonderful walking path that gave the toddlers a non-beach place to go for walks. The house was very clean, and really well appointed. Our “chefs” said they did not want for anything in the kitchen. The beds were very comfortable and had quality linens. And, there are incredible views from all over the house. Even if you don’t step out on the balcony, the sweeping views of the ocean from the floor to ceiling windows will ease your mind, calm your heart and renew your spirit. House 15 won’t disappoint! It provides a true vacation destination and a backdrop for making memories!!

Perfect Family Beach House

Wonderful place to recreate family beach trips from years ago with a new generation on a new coast. The house worked well for 4 couples and 2 small children. The water views are amazing. We saw lots of birds, seals and maybe a whale spout. Beach is beautiful and easily accessible. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. The Internet worked well. We look forward to coming back here or to a smaller home in Pajaro Dunes. Use of carts to transports things to and from cars was a non-issue. Short walk, smooth walkways. Communication with the owner was quick and not necessary during the stay.

15 Plover Will Win You Over!

The house is so optimally positioned within the Dunes; completely facing the ocean, just steps to the sand! The sound of the waves was so relaxing and the sunset were breathtaking! We enjoyed walks, fishing, sunbathing digging for clams, BBQing, watching movies, playing games and connecting as a family (13 of us total!). We are so grateful for out time there and hope to make it an annual trip!

Beautiful Pajaro Dunes Beach Home

What a lovely home! Location is perfect, of course, and the house is beautiful. The home has everything you need to really make yourself at home, and plenty of space to spread out. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return again.

Beautiful house on the beach. Easily the nicest house in the neighborhood. Bring binoculars, because there are Whales and Dolphins barely in eyesight. I would highly recommend this property.

Beachfront Heaven for family getaway

This house is so lovely and located oceanfront and just steps from the beach with nothing impeding the view of the ocean and beach from the decks, living room, dining room, master bedroom. The home was very clean and we felt relaxed immediately. There are lots of bedrooms to choose from with different bed setups. My son especially liked the bunk bed. This home felt very safe behind a gated entry for cars to enter the Pajaro Dunes houses area. An upgrade to the washcloths and towels and saute/frying pans would really be my only suggestion. I would return in an instant. My parents are seniors and my son is under 5 and we all found it to be paradise. Thank you for our lovely stay.

Beautiful location

Had a wonderful stay at 15 Plover. The views were amazing and location couldn’t be better. The living room/ dining area was great and even the windows were washed before we arrived. Note: you cannot even enter the Pajaro Dunes area until 4 pm, so don’t try to check in early. The kitchen was well stocked but could use more forks as with 13 pp we had to constantly wash forks. (there are a lot of spoons/knives) As others have reported, the furniture in the bedrooms is dated, there are no headboards on the beds and one bed is on the floor. Remember to bring shampoo. Overall we’d go back in a minute, but know the high nightly cost is for the views and location.

We had an amazing time at this property! The house was clean and accurately described. We had two families stay here with children ranging from an infant to teenagers. Everyone had a ton of fun and are grateful to have this property shared with us. We couldn’t get enough of the view off of the deck. Hopefully we will be back!

On the Beach

A home designed for the family to view and enjoy the ocean together. There are beautiful views of the ocean, beach, wildlife, and sunsets from the living area. The beach is long, sandy, and great for walks, runs, hunting sand dollars, watching wildlife, and for young and old to have all sorts of fun.
