Monterey Bay House on Miles of Secluded Beach
When most people dream of California, they picture the beach right outside their door. Our oceanfront home is exactly that and can be yours for a memorable getaway. With 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, our two-story townhome is ideal for family visits or a group of friends. Our home is located in the private, gated community of Monterey Dunes Colony. If you haven't heard of the Monterey Dunes Colony let us introduce you to this very unique place, one of the few private communities on the California Coast and conveniently set just off Highway One between Monterey and Santa Cruz…so perfectly secluded, yet so close to the rich cultural and entertainment life of the Monterey peninsula.
Miles of secluded beach is only steps away on the boardwalk connecting our home directly through the dunes to the sand. Our beautiful oceanfront home is nestled in this very fragile, magnificent sand dune environment thousands of years in the making. We preserve it by never walking on the sand dunes; we all play an important role in preserving this natural beauty.
The living room, dining room, and upstairs master bedroom all offer panoramic views of the entire Monterey Bay. Relax in Adirondack chairs on both the ocean-side deck and the land-side patio. Visit in comfort in the living room’s sectional/recliner sofa and cushioned window benches. Retreat to the comfortable chaise in the master bedroom to read or fully take in the amazing views. End the day watching spectacular sunsets over the Pacific Ocean. Sleep will come easy with the sound of the crashing waves, the only thing you’ll hear in this peaceful, private, gated community!
All three spacious bedrooms are furnished with king-size beds; the downstairs bedroom also includes a twin bed. The two upstairs bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and the third bathroom is just outside of the downstairs bedroom. All linens, towels, and toiletries are included as well as a washer and a dryer.
Utilize our fully equipped kitchen and outdoor propane BBQ grill. Or dine out at wonderful close-by restaurants found in our guest directory. Our home includes four TV sets with satellite receivers, a DVD player, and WiFi. Park your car out of the elements in our two-car garage. All you need to bring is your food, clothing, and a desire to relax and enjoy the peaceful, natural beauty that awaits you.
Monterey Dunes Colony offers many private recreational facilities including a pool and hot tub, tennis courts, a basketball court, a golf driving net, shuffleboard, and a sand volleyball court. Come and live your dream vacation at our oceanfront home!

Beautiful beach, views, beach walk, pelicans, privacy, what more could you ask for.
The house was well maintained and equipped right down to knives that cut!
Overall we had a great stay. Shelli, the host, was very communicative. An issue with the refrigerator was discovered prior to our stay but Shelli contacted us to let us know about it before hand and offered a discounted rate for the inconvenience. We visited during the off season so it was super quiet. The condo is a quick 20 minute drive to Cannery Row in Monterey. Would definitely stay again.
The house exceeded our expectations with amazing views out over the bay - many hours were spent looking at the wildlife! The house was well kitted out, clean, and well furnished - we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.
We have vacationed many times at Monterey Dunes. This was the most relaxing stay with perfect weather. This condo is very comfortable and well stocked with all the necessities. We will be back.
A great and stress free process. Amazing location and a great place to social distance. View from the master is terrific. Just bring your beach towels.
we had a getaway with our kids and grandkids. it was the perfect place to stay, everyone had their own space and own bathroom! we really enjoyed ourselves. the property had everything we could have needed. We would definitely stay again and will recommend to friends
Makes you fall in love with Northern California coast!
The ocean at your doorstep, beach walks awaiting, cool fun places up and down the coast. Then dinner around the table and continued good conversation with a wonderful fire in the fireplace… heaven on earth!
Thank you for sharing with us your beautiful home. Access directions are very straightforward and easy to follow. Place is pristine and lots of utensils in the kitchen to stay in and cook.
This is a lovely and peaceful secluded home on a private section of beautifully preserved sand dunes on Monterey Bay. There was nothing lacking in our enjoyment of our five nights there. We made a few suggestions for minor improvements or changes which were very well received.
we rented the condo for my husbands 70th birthday. The condo was very clean and spacious. Six adults and one infant had plenty of room. The kitchen was well equiped for anything we needed.
This beautiful beach house was in the ideal location. Right by the front access gate. Loved the huge windows looking out onto the ocean. We saw a lot of seals and porpoises on our long walks along the beach everyday. The house was clean and had a lot of amenities. Would definitely return next year. Great communication with staff.
What a little slice of Heaven! A private gated oceanfront community with lots of privacy. The Condo was exceptional! It was clean & updated and it worked perfectly for our group of 3 couples. It was everything it said it was, but even better. We loved that the beach was only steps away and that we were only 15 to 30 minutes from everywhere we wanted to We highly recomment this unit and would definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful time at the Dunes. It was wonderful for our family of 5 (with 3 boys 7,5, &1) to just walk out the door and get to the beach. A short drive to Monterey for entertainment made this getaway the best of both worlds in terms of privacy and popular sight-seeing.
With the kitchen fully stocked, clean rooms, laundry, and access to the pool, spa, and athletic facilities this is a prime location for any family who wants to get away and be worry free about taking their kids to crowded places. You could easily cook a great meal with the kitchen or even order out for delivery so you don’t have to leave the views. I would just tell anyone with a young one to bring a baby gate.

Great property, but some issues
Pros:
Person at front gate was amazing
Ample garage space
Amazing views
Comfortable beds
Quiet
Nice amenities at the complex
Cons:
No Adirondack chairs as previously mentioned in other reviews, just the same dirty stack-able plastic chairs roped to the property.
Little kid finger prints all over windows in living room
Couch is less comfortable than a church pew and had sand between the cushions
One last smaller issue was that the main living room tv has some issues that cause lines going down the left side of it. (looks like someone hit it)
