Unbeatable location, steps to beach. We stayed here with the family and the house had everything we needed.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
We had a wonderful time at the beach in this beautiful ocean front condo. We have gone to Pajaro Dunes as a family for many, many years and this is the first time we have stayed in this condo. We will definitely be back to stay in Pelican 13. It is very clean and comfortable, and the host was very communicative and great to work with. Thank you!!
