About this property

VIEWS TO CALM THE SOUL -- A PERFECT GETAWAY

As soon as you step in the door of this ground level condominium, you've begun to relax. The large picture window with views of both the river and the ocean, and the shoreline of Monterey in the distance, are always visible from the living area (open style living room, a kitchen and dining room).

READ THE REVIEWS FROM OUR PREVIOUS GUESTS... THEY DESCRIBE PELICAN 75 BETTER THAN WE CAN!!!! (You'll notice that our location is one of the most frequently mentioned features of where we are in Pajaro Dunes.)

From the 2 sofas in the living room you can read peacefully, light a fire (on cool nights or in the winter), or watch a movie.
If you chose to cook, you don't have to be away from the outdoor views and can enjoy a fully-equipped kitchen to prepare happy hour for the beach or to put on the salmon for dinner. The glass doors off the living room take you to the deck, where you'll likely enjoy most meals. (The pelicans usually provide fascinating entertainment.)

The master bedroom, with California king bed and television, has its own full bath. The 2nd bedroom has 2 twin beds, sofa and trundle bed. There is a blow-up double mattress. Washer and dryer. Roku TV. Internet access.

NOTE: Due to fire restrictions outdoor grilling is not permitted. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The community includes tennis courts, basketball courts and lots of riding, walking paths.

Great connection with nature
Although we experienced some of the worst weather California has seen in years, we loved how close we were to nature, with pelicans overhead and waves visible from the living room. The host dealt with a few minor issues with great courtesy.

Perfect getaway
My family very much enjoyed our stay. The unit is well stocked, was very clean and is a great location! The bed in the main bedroom is VERY comfortable. We enjoyed our walks to the beach and also just watching the waves and wildlife from the living room window. My kids (10 & 13) have already asked to go back and make it an annual trip. Thank you to our wonderful host!!

About the host

Hosted by Lauri Pastrone

Host profile image
John and Mary Pastrone bought Pelican 75 in the 1960s so their 3 young sons could enjoy beach weekends and escape the heat of the San Jose area. Today, a 3rd generation of grandchildren enjoy the same surroundings their fathers did 40 years ago when they were young. The property is currently managed by Lauri Pastrone, one of John and Mary's three daughters-in-law.

Why they chose this property

It's the ideal location at Pajaro Dunes. Quiet and private... in between the ocean and the river... with massive views of the ocean, river, and sand dunes. And it's ground level so that families can be indoors and out but still be together.
We have upgraded and updated over the past 5 years, including 2 full master bathrooms with dual showers, new furniture and many extras. And we have the best cleaning team in Pajaro Dunes.

What makes this property unique

Fully stocked with everything you could possibly need.... from kitchen gear to beach gear... all you have to bring is your food and clothing.

Note: Due to fire risk, grilling is no longer permitted at Pajaro Dunes.
