(Use horizontal scroll bar, above, to view more photos. Click on photos to expand) Location The house is located on the ocean in the gated community of Pajaro Dunes with the view of Monterey Bay on one side and Pajaro Valley on the other. Pajaro Dunes is an upscale, quiet, gated community with 24 hour security, and about the middle of way between the cities of Santa Cruz and Monterey. Pajaro Dunes is a unique beach community with upscale architecturally designed contemporary houses. The community offers three miles of pristine, sandy beaches, common-area walking/biking/jogging trails, professional tennis courts, volleyball and basketball courts, game room for kids, fitness center and spa. Bird watching of the extensive bird population of Pajaro is many visitors' favorite pass times. The amenities of Santa Cruz, Monterey and Carmel are only 30 minutes away, including the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Pebble Beach, famous golf courses and exquisite restaurants. Bird watching and kayaking at world-renown Elkhorn Slough is ten minutes away.
The house is located in the second row facing the ocean with no road to cross between the house and the beach and it is surrounded by other multimillion-dollar homes. The path to the beach is a step out the front door, providing beautiful white water views as well as immediate beach access. Click here to return to top of page.
House Description The three-level house was designed by the architect Robert M. Tanaka, combining contemporary design features with eastern influence. The house has a private driveway with onsite parking for six cars (unlike majority of homes at Pajaro Dunes which are reached by long boardwalks). Soaring ceilings, multiple windows, and sliding door access to the decks enhance the feeling of spaciousness and open the house to the gorgeous views of Monterey Bay. The house was also recently remodeled: double pane windows and doors, brand new heaters, new carpeting and tiles are just a sample of the improvements. The house has four bedrooms each with its own adjacent bathroom and there is an additional den on the third floor overlooking the great room. All the bathrooms are tiled and have either stall showers or jacuzzi tubs with showers. The master bath has a heated floor, two sinks, an oversized shower stall, and a separate toilet room. The large great room has high ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, a dining area, and access to two sheltered decks. The house sleeps 10 with the following configuration: K/Q/Q/2T/D (the double being a double futon in the den). The entire house is tastefully furnished and decorated in a beach motif, providing you with the perfect vacation home away from home. Click here to return to top of page.

Guest Comments Guest Comment 1 Yaffa, you certainly have given your beach house an apt name. It really is stunning! Thank you so much for letting us rent it this past weekend. Our niece and nephew were unable to join us, as one of them came down with a bad spring cold. Our daughter, Sarah, was devastated--until she saw the top-level room that you call the den. She immediately renamed it the crow's nest and spent most of her non-beach hours up there reading, looking out the windows, and spying on Mom and Dad below in the great room. That little room, combined with the "rigging" for the stair railings and the "gangplank" that leads to the door, really make the house exciting for the under-12 set. The house is also ideal for the grown-ups as well. My husband loved the fact that we had so many different views: the wind-swept waves, the lush spring fields, the hills above Santa Cruz. I appreciated the fact that we were so close to the beach, and that it was so easy to unload and load the car. (We are a slave to those green carts when we rent a place in the Cypress units!). And, of course, the house was outfitted with everything we needed, which always makes for a serene weekend. (Actually, we did add some "corn holders" to your utensil drawer--suspect other folks may be able to use those as well. We saw some fresh-picked corn at a stand in Soquel and had to try it.) We hope you'll consider renting to us again--it really was a great location for a low-key family get-away ______________________________________________________________________________________ Guest Comment 2 The beach house at Pajaro Dunes was beautiful! We really enjoyed the convenience of having our own private beach just a few steps from the house. One morning we even woke up early to walk on the beach and had the wonderful experience of watching dolphins and seals play with the waves. It was remarkable how close they were getting to the shore. It was definitely a safe community since it was gated, and you needed to check in at the front gate before getting through. We also enjoyed the convenience of how close the attractions were to the house. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk was approximately 25 min away, and Monterey and Carmel were approximately 35 min away. Overall, this is a great house, and I would highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Guest Comment 3 Ocean, fresh strawberries, walking by the lagoon, etc.and a great house to enjoy it all from. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Guest Comment 4 My family and I had a wonderful time in the house in Pajaro Dunes. The house is in a wonderful location - just as described-and nicely furnished with all necessities and immaculately clean. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach ( and then walked for miles, watching seals along the riverbank, and dolphins in the surf, pelicans everywhere, and collecting sand dollars and driftwood !) We enjoyed the great views of the water and the Santa Cruz Mountains from the house and we went to the beach with drinks for sunset. We took advantage of being close to Monterey and Santa Cruz, visiting the Aquarium and Point Lobos . Yaffa, you were very helpful and thoughtful. I highly recommend this place and plan to return. _____________________________________________________________________________ Guest Comment 5 I
want to thank you for making your wonderful house available to us. And, I (and
my family) so appreciate your time and effort to prepare the house early for us.
We enjoyed wonderful meals (we
always seem to bring too much food on these type
of vacations) and fun on the beach. The house was perfect for our size
and desire to be on the beach. Again,
on behalf of my whole family, thank you! _____________________________________________________________________________ Guest Comment 6 The Pajaro Beach House has twice been the home for our women's retreat and we look forward to having it be our sanctuary again in the future. The location is dreamy, the beach lightly trafficked, and the accommodations perfect. The large dining table promoted conversations and crafts. The open spaces and windows all around allow for sounds and smells and everything you would want in an ocean experience. We even had a blustery storm which doesn't happen that much here in California. Sea birds and sand dollars at the water; and pelicans and seagulls from the windows. We are so grateful to have found this gem and for the peace and nurturing it provided each of us. ____________________________________________________________________________ Guest Comment 7 Want to let you know we had an amazing time at your beach house. We'd spent a good quality time in planning our church's children summer program. The beach and your house really stirred up a lot of creativity and inspiration. Thank you. I hope you will remember us, because we would really like to use your facility again.
