Why Guests Love This Home

The property’s greatest strengths are its true beachfront setting, direct access to the sand, private hot tub, family-friendly layout, comfortable beds, and central Monterey Bay location.

The mix of beachfront access, five bedrooms, several no-stairs bedroom options, and multiple gathering spaces also makes the home comfortable for multi-generational families and smaller team or corporate retreats within the 10-guest occupancy.

For most guests, though, the appeal is simple: step outside, walk directly onto the beach, and enjoy a relaxed Monterey Bay stay with space for the whole group.

Excellent place for an extended family stay!! Walked out the door, and we were on the beach. Clean, wonderful communication, comfy beds and well stocked kitchen. The views from inside and out were spectacular!!

Gorgeous views. Such a wonderful spot to drink coffee in the morning and watch the seals. We even saw whales breaching! The rooms were super comfy too!

This property is amazing. Host was quick to respond to request. All amenities were described accurately to listing. We had nine people stay here with abundant personal space. The beach chairs on the sandy knoll were perfect for morning and evenings! Would highly recommend this property for a beautiful experience of the dunes.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2026
The location was beautiful and the outdoor space from this property was great, but the house , mainly the kitchen was rough and not very clean. I have been staying at Pajaro dunes for over 40 years and it is difficult to find a house that has been updated and is very clean. I will continue to use VEBO in my search for next year.
