Stunning, sweeping ocean views welcome you to your single level beach escape! 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo on the sand in the gated community of Pajaro Dunes. This home beams with happiness, having hosted many beach lovers for over 30 years. Well positioned within the privacy of the dunes, natural light continually fills this home. Enjoy direct beach access and the convenience of a ramp from your car instead of stairs. Ample room for all of your beach toys and supplies with your own walk-in, outside storage closet. Pajaro Dunes rests between Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz and shares all the amenities desired for your ideal beach home. Stroll along the lengthy stretch of sand, or around the bird watching paradise of the lagoon. Gated entry, lovely landscaped grounds, a gift shop, tennis/pickleball courts, EV charging stations, and miles of beckoning beach surround the development. This unit is fully furnished and awaits your personal art! This condo was lightly used as a vacation rental, and is easily used as a private residence. Just relax, and renew!
