About this property

Enjoy Beautiful Views In Our Family Friendly Beach House!


Welcome to house 85 at Pajaro Dunes. We are excited to open our home to you for your next vacation. Our home is perfect for groups looking to relax and enjoy quality beach time together as well as those wishing to explore the beautiful Monterey Bay area. Pajaro Dunes is a serene private beach community located on a secluded stretch of beach with miles of coastline to walk, run and explore.

Wake up to the sounds of the waves while enjoying the view from one of our many beach facing windows. The beach access is right in front of our home. Have fun walking along the beach, gathering shells, or jumping the waves. The large beach is perfect for frisbee, soccer, football, kite flying, picnics, sand castle building and reading. Just down the road are the tennis courts, pickle ball courts, basketball courts and designated walking paths. Want to relax inside? The open floor plan and extra table space allows for puzzles and games while enjoying the views.

House Details:
Our 4 bedroom 3 bath home sleeps 10 and has an open floor plan with beautiful ocean views. The beach access is located in front of the house and we are just steps away from a bird sanctuary, tennis courts, a sand volleyball court, a basketball court, and a large grassy field. On a clear day you can enjoy views from Monterey to Santa Cruz.

* Our home can be comfortably shared by one family, several small families, or a group of friends traveling together. Our house has plenty of open space for everybody in your group to spread out.

* Our large open living room and dining area provide ample space for your group to relax together. The living room offers high ceilings and large windows, perfect for enjoying the beautiful ocean views. From the living room, dining table area and kitchen you can enjoy ocean views in the front of the house and views of lush eucalyptus trees in the back of the house.

*Our home provides a fully equipped kitchen with enough cookware, dishes and table settings for your whole group. The kitchen has a view of the ocean and the beach access. It also has a large window that opens up to the lush eucalyptus grove at the back of the house. The kitchen is open to the living room and dining room making it easy to be a part of the action while preparing meals.

*Multiple decks are available for you to sit back and relax or dine outside in the fresh air. The back deck has a gas grill and an over-sized picnic table large enough for your group to share a meal together. This deck overlooks eucalyptus trees. The front deck has patio chairs, tables and ocean views. An upstairs south facing side deck has a small table, chairs for 4 and ocean views.


*We provide a dedicated, private and secure, wireless internet connection specific to our home. This makes it possible to have a faster wireless connection to work remotely, attend distance learning school or stream your favorite shows. We also have a cordless phone with free local and long distance calling.


*Plenty of boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, shovels and sand toys are all provided in the attached 2 car garage for you to use while enjoying the beach.


*Parking available in the attached two car garage, on the driveway and on the street directly in front of the house.


Bedroom Configurations and Layout:

* Downstairs you will find two bedrooms, a full bath and laundry facility. The front bedroom has two twin beds. The second bedroom has a queen bed, views overlooking eucalyptus trees, and a flat panel smart TV. These two bedrooms have access to a shared deck.

* The main floor has two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. These two rooms have the potential to be closed off as two master suites. The front master bedroom has a queen bed and private bathroom. The back bedroom has a queen bed, a double bed, and a flat panel smart TV. This room can be closed off to create a second master bedroom.

Amazing and Thank You

This house was amazing! My teenagers loved it. My youngest one hung out in the loft almost every time we were home. If there was a bed up there, he would have stayed up there all night. The hosts were amazing and answered questions before we arrived. The house felt like home. The view was spectacular and the beach, though cold (as it is October) was amazing! The house is fully furnished and very welcoming.(thank you for the chocolates!). We all agree that the next time we come in a couple of years, we would definitely pick house 85 again! It may be an old home but it is an amazing home! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

Great location.

The location was perfect and check in was ok, the front desk didn’t give us our keys initially. My only gripe was how outdated and unkept the house was for the price. It was very expensive and the house needs some work and attention badly. Or just drop the price to reflect the home

The best location for a family get-together

We beat the August heat and our extended family of ten people had a wonderful time together. The beach was literally steps away (I counted a little over 100), and the weather was perfect. We walked over to the beach several times a day. We flew kites, built sand castles, played in the waves, and went beach combing. The sunsets were gorgeous and visible from the rental house as well. This is a comfortable family friendly place. The kids, ages 2 1/2, 8 and 10 always found things to do. There are kid books to entertain and inspire drawings. There are lots of sand toys for the beach. The adults enjoyed the central area where we watched the Olympics on TV and enjoyed good food. The dining room table fit our group and we used the BBQ all three nights of our stay. It seemed very rural around the area, and we stayed at the house, but there are grocery stores and other things in the suburbia type town of Watsonville, only about 10 to 15 minutes away. We were new to the Pajaro Dunes area and we loved it, not overly crowded, and very peaceful and beautiful.

We Love This House

My family loves this beach house and everything about it. My kids, nieces, and nephews look forward to staying here and only here. They are never curious about other properties. We saw a few dolphins and otters. We made castles in the sand and enjoyed the volleyball court. The best part is the constantly hearing the crashing waves. The worst part is leaving. Thank you Allegretti Family for letting us stay in your lovely home.

A perfect beach getaway

This house was perfect for our three generations of family. There was plenty of space and was well stocked for our group. And the beach access was right there, which led to many walks down the beach. We look forward to booking this house again for our next family get together!

Great location

Beautiful location and house was big enough for us all we will probably return to Pajaro dunes. We enjoyed the wildlife, surfing, fishing, shopping, the BarBQue at the house and much more. Thank you. P. S. The freezer is leaking water in the ice maker side & will eventually break. We cleared it out a few times during our stay. The big bad of ice was there when we arrived.

No need to leave once you check in!

Property is great. I’ve rented condos in the Pajaro Dunes Shorebirds but needed something bigger for my cousin group of 10. Was worried about the 6 cars we had…working moms couldn’t get it together enough to completely carpool but parking wasn’t an issue! Kitchen has everything you need including cutting boards, coffee maker, and counter space! Slept 10 comfortably with some bed sharing and we didn’t mind the day of bad weather as you could still watch the ocean from the windows. Big table seated us all comfortably and was great for all of the games we played. Would stay again.

Relaxing retreat for the whole family

Very accommodating and beautiful venue. We had everything we needed and more. The home was nicer in person than the pictures. We had 3 young children and they provided everything we could need to accommodate them. We thoroughly enjoyed the sunsets from the beach and the front porch. The beach is closer than the pictures show and just a minutes walk. We saw a large pod of dolphins swim by on our first morning, 2 sea otters the next day and saw a large variety of birds and sea shells. Our stay was so amazing and we would love to return. If I had to give any ways to improve the home I would say that the dishwasher could be updated as it was not the best. The home was such a pleasure to stay in overall.

Pajaro Dunes Peaceful Retreat

The location is amazing, walk across the street, up steps and down to the beach. It’s very quiet, peaceful and private feeling. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable and the small children had so much fun with the toys and puzzles that were available. The house is dated but it’s very comfortable and affordable and the owners were extremely nice and accommodating.

Beautiful serenity

Nice layout with plenty of space and windows; everything was comfortable and having bedrooms on two levels w was great. Beach is an easy walk across the street and just perfect. Neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, with only the sounds of waves, birds and the occasional laughter of families playing. We’ll most certainly be back- May now be an annual tradition.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a place close to San Jose where we could get away with our family to enjoy the outdoors. After attending a seminar at Pajaro Dunes we knew that this community, with it's close proximity to San Jose, was the perfect place for us. We enjoyed playing with our 5 children on the beach as they grew up and we now enjoy watching as our 9 grandchildren play and explore the same beach. Over the years our home has been a place where we have gathered with family and friends. We have created many wonderful and happy memories here. We hope that our home provides your family and friends with wonderful memories as well.
