Photos and Description of the Watsonville vacation condo rental
Condo, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 8)

This completely remodeled Monterey Bay Shorebirds vacation condo overlooks Sunset State Park & Beach. This unit is set pleasantly amongst the Dunes and Lagoons. With decks off of the dinning room and living room and miles of beach just steps away. Our beach condo is located ideally between Carmel and Santa Cruz. This condo is perfect for bird watching in the lagoons or watching the Dolphins play in the Pacific Ocean/Monterey bay, hiking in the bluffs or just relaxing and enjoying the California Coast with or with out the kids. You will love the fully equipped brand new Kitchen and Baths. This condo is fully furnished. The unit is stocked with 10 sets of towels, 3 sets of sheets, trash bags, toilet paper, soap, paper towels; all you need is to bring your tooth brush. Also there is 24 hour gated security and 3 miles of sandy beaches on the shores of Monterey Bay.

Things to do at Pajaro Dunes: This Beach Condo is located in the beautiful gated community of Pajaro Dunes. You will find biking and hiking trails as well as walking and rollerblading paths. You will also find basketball and tennis courts thru out the property. Pajaro Dunes has a couple of large ponds, small lakes where it is always fun to watch the wildlife and feed the birds. The beach at Pajaro Dunes is wonderful for those sunrise or sunset walks with plenty of seashell collecting opportunities. In the ocean you will see Dolphins, Sea Lions and an occasional Sea Otter. Certain times of year you will find several Surf Fisherman out there trying to land that large Striped Bass. The beach is wonderful if the only thing that you want to do is sit in a chair and read your favorite book listening to the waves braking just steps from where you are sitting. A great way to round out your day is with a beach fire, hearing the waves with the fire crackling in the back ground gazing up and seeing millions of stars above you

Things to do around Monterey Bay: For the curious – we encourage you to visit The Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Mission at Carmel or the Mission at San Juan Bautista, Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, or downtown Carmel.

For the connoisseurs – you'll want to schedule time for wine tasting at the many wonderful wineries found along the Monterey Coast (including Bonny Doon Vineyard, Soquel Vineyards, and Estancia), or satisfy your taste buds for fresh seafood and locally-grown vegetables at any one of a myriad of nearby restaurants and produce markets.

For the shoppers – there are literally hundreds of charming boutiques and stores throughout Santa Cruz, Capitola, Monterey, and Carmel.

For the sports enthusiasts – there is tennis, biking, and beach volleyball right here at Pajaro Dunes, plus some of Northern California's premier golf courses are an easy drive away.

For the contented – stretch yourself out on the warm beaches of Pajaro Dunes, enjoy the cool ocean breezes, and make sure you take in one of our serene suns

Ski: welcome to ski lake tahoe

not a lake, the lake with 7 world-class ski resorts.

Not majestic mountains, mountains with jaw-dropping cliffs, serene glades and spectacular views of the lake. Not snow, 400 inches of snow a year that pile up into epic powder, tight corduroy groomers, raucous terrain parks and endless moguls.

Not a place, the place.

The place to ski and ride. Ride and ski. On blue bird days, in storms that hide your tracks run after run. Some people pine for warm sand and fruity drinks; Tahoe is the shredders paradise.

Bring the kids. Teach them to ski in a place that will spark their passion for the snow. Thrill them with tubing, sledding and unbelievable views from mountain top trams and lodges.

Recharge at night with happening casino entertainment, swank, cozy or rustic taverns and restaurants, dancing, music, local hangouts and events.

Seven resorts, unlimited possibilities. The place will become part of you like it’s become part of us.

I've stayed at this Pajaro Dunes condo three times now, and it continues to be my favorite beach getaway spot. I love how private the beach is - I can count on parking myself in the sand with a good book and soak in the sun and surf with no noise and no distractions. Uber relaxing!

The condo itself is right on the beach, and just a short 30-second walk to the pedestrian access point. It has an open floorplan and has been very well maintained. There are also little details that made for a great experience - I'm a big fan of the heat lamps in the bathrooms. Also, all linens and kitchen items (literally everything you'd need) are already there, which is great.

The complex has tennis courts, so bring your raquets. There is a little general store on the grounds for any last-minute food/drink/supplies needs.

Overall, I highly recommend this rental - it's a gem.

Monterey Condo

3 of 5
Submitted: July 9, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
The condo was different then described. It was more than just a walk to the beach. You had to go out the front door, across the boardwalk, through 2 doors, up stairs, down stairs to get to the beach. Which is alot when you have 5 kids, cooler, wood, smores stuff, toys, towels, chairs. It was alot of work.
I liked that the condo had towels, dishes, etc. The dishwasher was a plus and the washer/dryer. Also we all took showers when returning from the beach and the hot water never ran out. The master shower was a huge step up to use so if you have any trouble getting up or down the shower wont work for us. I had a hard time getting out of shower soaking wet with that big of a step.
The condo appreared clean to the eye & the dryer was full of towels we had to fold. But our kids socks were black by the end of the night. I wish there was like a swifter mop to clean the floors with.
Also the gas grill was not in working order and we bought steak for 2 nights! The office was closed so we had to go buy a small grill to use. They was a major bummer. And the sliding glass doors were very very very hard to open and in the master the screen would fall everytime you opened it.
Overall the condo was nice and spacious. The security entrance was nice. No view of the ocean from the condo though. The office closes so that was an inconvience.
Would we stay again...Im not sure. The main issue we had was the beach being so far away. Pry would not stay again. Alot of money and didnt get what we expected.

The accomodations were very good. Roomy and comfortable. Plenty of dishes, glassware, cooking utensils and linen, towels and blankets. The only regret is the view of the lagoon wasn't very good. Otherwise well recommend this unit.
