About this home

Secure, Private, and quiet is what comes to mind when I think of the waterfront living experience at Pajaro Dunes, unless of course you dont like being close enough to the beach to hear the waves land on the shore! Located right on the sand just steps from the beach and the water sits this beautifully updated and furnished 2 bedroom, 1 and a half bathrooms single level end unit condo which is ready for its new owner to start making memories here. It features views of the dunes and the water from the living room and deck, lots of natural light, a fireplace for those foggy days, tennis/pickle ball courts, but most of all the sights and sounds of the Monterey Bay right out in front of you. Enjoy early morning walks or sunset strolls to the beach above the sand on the boardwalks. Conveniently located between Santa Cruz and the Monterey Peninsula makes shopping, restaurants and attractions to either end of the bay possible. Currently available as a short-term rental, you can enjoy this property as your own weekender, and as an income producing rental when you arent using it.

Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1969, this condo has been 'beautifully updated' as per the description, making it move-in ready. The bathrooms feature updated vanities, sinks, and modern subway tile in the shower, suggesting a renovation within the last 5-15 years. The living area boasts a contemporary stacked stone fireplace surround and clean, well-maintained carpet. However, the kitchen, while functional and clean, presents white appliances and laminate countertops, which are not consistent with recent high-end renovations and appear somewhat dated. The presence of baseboard heating also indicates an older system. Overall, the property is well-maintained with significant updates in key areas, but the kitchen and heating system prevent it from achieving an 'Excellent' rating.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Direct Beachfront Location & Views: The property boasts an unparalleled location directly on the sand, steps from the beach, offering stunning views of the dunes and Monterey Bay from the living room and deck, providing a true waterfront living experience.
Income-Generating Potential: Currently available as a short-term rental, this property offers excellent potential for generating rental income when not in personal use, making it an attractive investment opportunity.
Updated & Furnished Condition: The condo is beautifully updated and comes furnished, making it move-in ready for immediate enjoyment or rental, reducing initial setup costs and effort for the new owner.
Privacy, Security & End Unit Benefits: Described as secure, private, and quiet, this single-level end unit condo typically offers more natural light and fewer shared walls, enhancing the living experience.
Community Amenities & Convenient Location: Residents have access to community amenities like tennis/pickleball courts and boardwalks for beach access. Its location between Santa Cruz and the Monterey Peninsula provides convenient access to shopping, dining, and attractions.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $1418.0 is exceptionally high, significantly increasing the ongoing cost of ownership and potentially impacting affordability for some buyers.
Compact Living Space: With 1080 square feet of living space, the condo is relatively compact, which may be a limiting factor for buyers seeking more expansive living areas or for larger families.
Mixed School District Ratings: While some schools have good ratings, several local schools, such as Landmark Elementary and Pajaro Middle, have lower ratings (2 out of 5), which could be a concern for families prioritizing school quality.
