Fireplaces
Shorebird and Pelican Point condominiums may be furnished with an electric or regular fireplace. Please be sure to review with the Reservations Team what type of fireplace is equipped in your vacation rental. Only pressed wood logs and Duraflame logs are allowed in the regular fireplaces. Duraflame Logs are available in our Lobby Gift Store. Driftwood may not be burned under any circumstance. Be certain that the flue is in the open position before lighting the fire. Directions for the Electric Fireplace are located in the Guest Binder.
Barbecues
Vacation Rentals may be furnished with a BBQ. Please be sure to review with the Reservations Team if a BBQ is provided at the vacation rental you selected. Some homes provide BBQs that use the 1-pound propane canisters. Although you may use what is left in the canister, we do not provide the small propane tanks. You may bring your own propane or purchase them at our Lobby Gift Store. Charcoal barbeques are not allowed on the condominium patio decks. If your Vacation Rental provides a Full-Size Propane Tank style BBQ, the propane is provided. If you run out, please call our office and we can replenish this for you. Some of the Beach Houses have Charcoal BBQs; we do not provide charcoal. Please allow ashes to cool in the fireplace, BBQ and Bonfire pits. These areas are designed to contain their heat safely. Let the fire burn out naturally and our team will clean and dispose of the ashes safely.
Beach Bonfires
Bonfires are only allowed in State Park provided pits. Never bury ashes! We have Bonfire Services & S’mores Kits available per request. Please call our office if you would like more information. Please phone the Ranger’s station at 831-763-7064 for any restrictions. Bonfires are not allowed during the nesting of the Snowy Plovers, or between November 15th and March 15th as there is very little beach during the winter along with unpredictable tide and surf.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Available
There are 2 EV Charging Station locations at Pajaro Dunes, one on the Shorebirds Property and another on the Pajaro Dunes South Property. The Shorebirds EV charging stations are situated in the lower parking lot of Building D at 101 Shell Drive. The Pajaro Dunes South Property EV charging stations are located in the parking lot in front of the Pajaro Dunes Fire Station at 2661 Beach Road. Both Charging Station locations are part of the ChargePoint network and offer two dual-port EV charging stations (four charging lanes)! To use the charging stations, download the free ChargePoint app from Google Play or the Apple App Store. Charging Rates vary by time of day, allowing the use of lower PG&E special rates. Refer to the instructions at the charging station and app for more details. To maximize availability, plan to move your EV within 30 minutes after charging to avoid an “over-stay” fee.
Suggested Items to Bring
Bring personal toiletries, including hair dryers. Warm and cold weather clothing is suggested, as the weather on the coast can be unpredictable. Your kitchen is fully equipped. Make sure to bring your favorite condiments, spices, and Coffee filters. Mr. Coffee filter style is the most popular. Large mixing bowls, serving ware or additional cooking ware is suggested if you are hosting large meals.
