- "Nice family trip to the beach. The condo was spacious and the primary bedroom was fantastic. The other two bedrooms were small, but were still accommodating. The property is very well maintained. There’s paths to walk on for a nature walk and the beach has some hard sand that makes long walks on the beach very easy to do. There were 6 of us that went and there was plenty of space.

- "We booked this trip to spend time with my step father who was given 6 months to live - terminal cancer. We wanted to go somewhere not to far for the whole family before he got too sick to travel. We spent our time enjoying walks on the beach and took advantage of the fire pit on the beach. We even got to see the bioluminescence in the water at night which was a great treat! We grew up going to PD a couple of times a year with my family, so we explored old spots and got one last trip with everyone together."

- "We Are family from Germany at roadtrip to the northwest. Very nice, clean place. Very well equiped. Directly at the Beach. We really enjoyed the stay. Awesome Place!!!" - "House and property exactly as described. Beautiful and peaceful location. Partial view of the ocean at the back of the house. Could hear the ocean from the house nicely. The view of the farmland and mountains from the front of the house was unexpectedly stunning, pictures do not do it justice! The walk to the beach was less than 1 minute, I walked it barefoot several times. We went mid June and the beach was barely populated. The weather was calm in the morning and then the wind would pick up quite a bit by noon. One of the days we were there it was only mildly windy. The beach was beautiful and VERY clean. We played basketball at the community area one day. The community facilities were very nice. The equipment for the basketball, tennis courts, volleyball etc was kept in a small storage arena that wasn't well labeled, but we found it. At the house, there was a cabinet with many games by the phone, built into the counter area. There was corn hole equipment, but we couldn't find any of the sacks to throw. There was a somewhat odd smell in the closets and sometimes rooms. I would definitely come back to this house again with my family. My husband and I would also definitely return to Pajaro Dunes Community to a smaller house or condo with just the 2 of us."

House 46 at Pajaro Dunes is a family nest, a gem, the ultimate seaside cottage you've been looking for! This is full Oceanfront yet at a price-point families can afford -- and still amazing, squeaky clean, and homey. Yes it is a unicorn! Close your eyes and hear the sound of seagulls, the ocean breeze and laughter of friends and family enjoying this amazing home.

Enjoy unobstructed views from Santa Cruz to Monterey from the all-glass sunroom lounging on recliners and sipping your favorite beverage. Watch for whales, dolphins and otters and enjoy fiery orange sunsets. Enjoy dining on the back deck, or walk the short distance to the beach stairs and enjoy miles of unobstructed sand from Pelican Point to the south, all the way past Aptos to the north.

Did we mention you can drive up to the home directly and park in a 2-car garage? Garage storage means you get beach stuff to use! No need to navigate the Pajaro Dunes boardwalks to stay in this home, which also sits a very short walk from pickleball, tennis, basketball and volleyball courts. In every way, the location and setup of this home are ideal for family travelers.

The living room, dining room and kitchen all face the ocean with full ocean views. Look for whales and dolphins! The three-sided river rock fireplace is charming and cozy. A back deck runs the length of the home, and an ocean view sunroom allows for beach watching while fully indoors. The sunroom makes this home particularly great for grandparents who want to watch little ones enjoy the beach but not walk down. Most of the home is on one level, with just three steps separating the living room area from the 'bedroom wing.'

This home sleeps up to 12 adults/kids on comfortable beds, in the following configuration. Note this is a three-bedroom home with the largest bedroom "split" in half with a curtain to allow both a king bed and a queen bed sharing a room.
(1) Primary: king bed and en suite bathroom, some ocean view (sleeps 2);
(1A) Sitting Room: adjoins master (separated by a curtain not wall), has queen mattress, sink, and ocean view (sleeps 2);
(2) Second en suite bedroom: king bed and bathroom (sleeps 2);
(3) Hall bedroom: a queen bed, plus a set of twin bunks, plus a loft with a double futon platform bed (sleeps 6), share hall bathroom

The sleeping arrangements are flexible such that the primary bedroom and adjoining sitting room can be a 'family' bedroom using the queen pull-out couch. They are separated by a curtain. Or, the hall bedroom can also be a 'family' bedroom as it has a queen bed plus a set of twin bunks, plus a double futon mattress in a cool loft that kids love.

The separation between the bedroom wing and the gathering rooms in this home provides excellent privacy when needed for contemplation, alone time or a peaceful midday nap.

The large, updated kitchen can accommodate multiple chefs to create amazing feasts for your group. A wall oven plus a microwave and stovetop, two sinks, and all the pots, pans, plates, cutlery, glassware and cook's tools you could want. (There is also easy and fast delivery from nearby Watsonville, choose from Chinese or Pizza!) A new Weber propane BBQ is right outside the kitchen on a deck sheltered from ocean breezes where outdoor furniture allows you to relax and eat outside (we provide propane plus a spare). An extra fridge in the garage is a great resource for storing ice, food and drinks for your group's entire stay.

House 46 also offers dedicated wifi for surfing, working or streaming, plus flat-screen TVs, Comcast cable channels, and Blu-Ray DVD players. It also has beach supplies, toys and games for kids, and an extensive book and DVD lending library. We have a high chair and pak n play for the little ones, along with step stools in every bathroom.

WIFI is FAST in the whole house! >500 Mbps at router with extender pods throughout the home. 5 sets of desks and chairs in bedrooms plus the dining table and breakfast bar... lots of options!

Because only those occupying Pajaro Dunes accommodations can enter the community, the state park beach at Pajaro Dunes is quiet and you may have it all to yourself much of the time. Activities abound in Pajaro Dunes, including surfing, tennis, basketball, sand volleyball, shuffleboard, birding, and shelling (all inside the community).

Pajaro Dunes itself is a private, gated community directly on the dunes of Monterey Bay.

It is also a quick and easy drive to Santa Cruz, Monterey, the Monterey Aquarium, Carmel, the redwoods of the Forest of Nisene Marks in Aptos, berry picking, Gilroy garlic festival and Gilroy outlet shopping. Fishing and whale watching excursions can be booked out of nearby Moss Landing, which is also the closest surf break (although plenty of people surf and boogie board at Pajaro Dunes).
