About This Home

As of December 2021

The best thing about living at Shorebirds Pajaro Dunes is that its like being on a beach vacation, and you never have to leave. Not only is it in a manicured resort complete with tennis courts, event space, a wildlife preserve, and even a gift shop - it's also right on the beach. And when we say right on the beach, we really do mean steps from the sand. Like, open your back door and walk onto the dunes status. Whats especially cool about this beach is how private it feels - you could have the entire shoreline to yourself while searching for sand dollars. Inside, the white kitchen, built-in office nook, and huge ocean-view windows adhere to the coastal cues given by the surroundings. The covered deck and primary bedroom also have beautiful views of the waves, which are dimmed to a soft lull, dulled by the dunes. Both bathrooms feature beautiful fixtures, stone countertops, and marble showers, piling on the luxe. Here, you never have to come home from vacation.
