Tranquil Beachfront Retreat at Pajaro Dunes

Nestled along the pristine shores of California’s Central Coast, this charming oceanfront condo at Pajaro Dunes offers an intimate blend of comfort, warmth, and natural beauty. From the moment one steps inside, the rhythmic sound of waves sets a peaceful tone, enhanced by the inviting glow of an electric fireplace and soft coastal breezes drifting through the open balcony doors. Thoughtfully designed to embrace a sense of ease and relaxation, the space comfortably accommodates up to four guests, offering a queen bed and a queen pull-out couch for restful nights by the sea.

The home’s compact yet fully equipped kitchen provides everything needed to prepare simple meals or morning coffee enjoyed with a front-row seat to the Pacific.

The electric fireplace adds a cozy touch during cooler evenings, creating a perfect balance between indoor comfort and outdoor inspiration. Every element of this home invites slow mornings, barefoot strolls, and a renewed appreciation for the rhythm of the tide.
