"One of a kind" / "River and Ocean": both of these phrases ring completely true when visiting this lovely getaway. Nestled at the southern tip of Pelican Point, this condominium offers all the best of Pajaro Dunes. It's quiet and not surrounded by a ton of other condos, yet it's still just a short walk to the beach. It has a lovely view of the ocean (sunrises are especially lovely), but you can also see a river to your left (I'd never seen it on previous visits) where birds of all kinds congregate. Vaulted ceilings and a large mirror in the living room create wonderful light all day long. Creature comforts: an updated kitchen (the nicest appliances and cookware I've experienced at PD); a Keurig coffee machine; every kitchen utensil we needed (we cooked Thanksgiving Dinner there); three sizable Roku TVs in the living room, master bedroom, and guest room. If you have Netflix, you could be watching a movie in the living room, while someone else is watching Hulu in the bedroom. And, oh, that master bed! No matter how soothing the sound of the ocean, I've lost hours of sleep on previous lumpy mattresses. Not this one. It was exactly the holiday reset we needed. A puzzle on the large dining room table? Some Christmas music playing on the excellent Wi-Fi? Looking at pelicans and sandpipers and stars through the telescope in the living room? All in a charmingly-furnished, clean Pajaro Dunes hideaway? I'm ready to come back already. :) Thank you!
