About this property

Strawberry Sands - Modern Beach House

  • Escape to "Strawberry Sands," a stunning mid-century modern beach house in Pajaro Dunes. Just an hour away from the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley, this tranquil retreat offers breathtaking views of farms, rivers and mountains, and the most pristine stretch of beach in all of Northern California just steps from the door. Secluded yet accessible, it's the perfect place for two families or small groups to unwind and recharge, whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure.

    Living Room: Step into a bright, airy space with soaring ceilings, clerestory windows, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls offering postcard-perfect views of lush farms, river, and distant mountains. Tastefully furnished with mid-century modern decor, it features:
    • Plenty of comfortable seating to relax and take it all in
    • 65" Smart TV with premium Sonos surround sound (great for music lovers too!).
    • Beautiful dining table for meals with a view.
    • Cozy wood-burning fireplace.
    • Convenient half bath and Washer/dryer closet
Also, the plush sofa easily converts into a queen bed for additional sleeping space.

    Master Bedroom: Wake up to serene river views in the spacious master suite featuring:
    • A king-size bed and en suite bathroom with a tub and shower.
    • A cozy office desk by the corner window, perfect for remote work or journaling.
    • Balcony access, seamlessly extending onto the front deck.

    Guest Bedroom: Perfect for families or groups, the guest room offers:
    • A queen bed, double bunk bed, and loveseat that converts into a bed.
    • En suite bathroom with a shower stall.
    • Sleep to the sound of the waves or enjoy ocean breezes and evening sun on the west-facing balcony

    Kitchen: Fully equipped with everything you need, including an electric stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, toaster and a variety of utensils for hearty home-cooked meals.

    Front Deck: Embrace indoor-outdoor living with a large infinity deck that flows directly from the living room. Whether you’re sunbathing, dining under the stars, or birdwatching (hawks, herons, and egrets abound, and you might even spot the occasional seal or sea otter!), this deck is a showstopper.

    Storage Room: Located downstairs, the lockable storage room is stocked with all kinds of goodies (upon request) for endless fun, including:
    • Boogie boards, wetsuits, cornhole toss, beach chairs, and sand toys.
    • Firewood for the fire place (in the house) and if you want to do a bonfire on the beach (Pajaro Dunes allows beach fires!).

    Outdoor Shower: Rinse off sandy toes with a refreshing hot or cold shower in a private outdoor area, just steps from the beach.

    Guests can use the entire property, as well as common areas of the Pajaro Dunes Resort, including the famous beach club with recreational facilities, such as tennis, pickleball, basketball and sand volleyball courts, and picnic area). The entire gated community is highly walkable, and includes a beautiful boardwalk to check out the unique coastal architecture of the area, and a paved trail that runs right by the slough - perfect for jogging and biking. And of course, the pristine beach that goes on for miles in both directions, all the way from Manresa beach to the North, to the mouth of the Pajaro River to the south (where you can literally find a million shorebirds)!

    The trash container is right by the last parking spot under the eucalyptus tree. It's buried under the ground with a cover that you lift up with your foot. for additional trash, there is a recycle and trash receptacle near the gatehouse

    Access to the house requires climbing a small flight of stairs.

We travel a couple times a year to Pajaro and have stayed at many homes. This house was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 4 children. House was clean and supplied with everything we needed. Short walk to beach and plenty of beach chairs and toys for our group. Host was awesome and quick response with answers to concerns and questions. We will definitely try to arrange another trip to this house.

This was our 10th year visiting Pajaro Dunes. As always it did not disappoint. The beaches were nearly empty and the boogie boarding was excellent. We will definitely consider this home again as it was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the space and the views of the fields and mountains in the morning. The kitchen was functional but small. The flooring was new the home was recently renovated. Overall it was an excellent experience.
