Amazing House On The Beach!!

10/10 Excellent

"A nicely modernized shore house with an expansive deck and amazing view. Quiet, uncrowded beach that is miles long. Easy access to shopping in Watsonville. Excellent for a gathering of families or friends."

Oceanfront Retreat at Pajaro Dunes. Beach Access, Hot Tub, BBQ, Pool Table.

10/10 Excellent

"This house is top notch.......clean, spacious, upgraded, new appliances, BBQ grill, and stocked with everything you need for a great vacation. Kids loved the pool table and hot tub. Adults loved the patio, view, and many amenities."

House 25 | 4 Bedroom

10/10 Excellent

"This is such a beautiful property! The house is well appointed and very comfortable and really had everything we needed. The proximity to the beach is fantastic, and opening the patio door to listen to the water was magical. This house is close to parking making it easy to get in and out and haul your things. There’s a cart near the parking to help as well. I really can’t say enough good things. It was everything we needed and wanted and we feel so fortunate for the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful, peaceful place. There was construction happening next door - obviously nothing to be done about that. It was otherwise very quiet. Loved it and would love to visit again one day."

Sweeping ocean views! Perfect for families, steps to sand, ping pong, Pickleball

10/10 Excellent

"This property was perfect for our large family of 6 adults and 5 children. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and we were all very comfortable. The upstairs living area had plenty of comfortable seating with wonderful views of the ocean. We spotted a couple of whales from the dining table one morning. The kitchen was large and had everything we needed including an electric griddle that we loved for pancakes. This was one of the best equipped and stocked kitchens that I have found in a vacation rental. The media room off the living room was perfect and was a great place for the kids to watch movies and play games. Speaking of games, there was a wide variety of games, puzzles, books and sand toys. It was so nice not to have to worry about bringing all that stuff from home. There were also beach chairs, beach towels and just about everything you needed for a day at the beach. Having the garage was wonderful and a rare luxury at the rentals at Pajaro Dunes. We appreciated having a place for the kids to put their scooters and other beach stuff. There was ample parking both on the driveway and on the street right in front of the house. We have rented other houses at Pajaro Dunes and have had to haul everything quite a way from the parking lot. I would definitely rent this house again!"
