As a private home with its own driveway and parking, you'll enjoy a sense of exclusivity and convenience throughout your stay. The upper floor boasts a remarkable great room with a kitchen featuring counter seating, a dining room, and a den complete with a cozy fireplace. Unwind on the luxurious leather sectional while enjoying the 60" smart TV and surround sound system. There's also a separate game table area for entertainment. The great room opens up to a vast ocean view deck, offering comfortable outdoor seating where you can bask in the beauty of the surroundings. The master bedroom awaits with a plush king-size bed and smart TV, while the rear bedroom offers a tranquil queen-size bed and smart TV. A fully renovated bathroom completes this upper floor oasis.

The expansive rear deck beckons with a spa, outdoor dining area, BBQ, and an invigorating outdoor shower. We also provide beach chairs, boogie boards, surfboards, and paddleboards for your enjoyment (please use them at your own risk as the surf can be dangerous).

Well-Stocked Beach Home

Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us! This house really was the perfect retreat for our family for the holidays. The house was very well stocked (in kitchen, bath, and bedrooms) and was comfortable for us and grandparents. The proximity to the beach is amazing and the view was wonderful. The grandparents loved the driveway parking (not the case for all Pajaro Dunes homes) and the kids loved the large hot tub and pool table and appreciated being so close to the sport courts. Host was quick to respond. We have found our spot in Pajaro Dunes!

Family Beach Getaway

We all really enjoyed our stay. The living spaces are large and family friendly with lots of comfortable seating. The kitchen is well equipped-in fact, this is the most well equipped VRBO I’ve stayed in. The large covered patios were great. Proximity to the beach and other amenities is perfect. We really loved having a driveway to park in. I would definitely stay here again.

Happy70th Birthday

We loved the property for our family as we had space to spread out whilst being close to tennis as well as other fun site activities like horseshoe, bocce ball but best of all just steps from the beach. We could watch the waves from the deck and had two great barbecues on the back deck along with soaking in the hot tub. We will be back again as everyone loved it.

Amazing spot!

This property was so amazing. The views were gorgeous, just steps from the beach. We had a really relaxing stay and would absolutely go again given the opportunity. The only downside is that there isn’t much going on in the little town. But the drive to Santa Cruz or Monterey is not too bad!

Wow what an incredible space! Beautiful open kitchen and family hang out space. We absolutely loved the views. Just barely a short walk to the beach. Labor day weekend we have stayed at Pajaro for 21 years and this was our first time in H38 and it's one of the top houses we've stayed in! Espresso machine, hot tub, large cookware and plenty of beds and barhrooms for our big family. Thank you
