Monterey Dune Dream
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Located right by the ocean, you'll be glad you chose this vacation rental for your next trip! Placed in the coveted Monterey Dunes Colony, take advantage of this incredible opportunity to own your slice of the California Coastline along the exceptionally picturesque Monterey Bay. Check out the Salinas River State Beach while you're here, so pack some sunscreen and a bathing suit for a dip in the serene waters or pitch up an umbrella in the sand and read a good book under its shade. Moss Landing State Wildlife Area is six miles away, where you'll have an array of gorgeous wildlife to gaze out at and admire. If you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of the migratory birds that land on the shore!
Inside the home, you'll immediately notice the high vaulted ceilings in the spacious living area decorated with lovely paintings, a bright chandelier overhead, and comfortable furnishings. Step out into the back and sit down on the sectional couch and lay your head down on one of its crimson pillows for a power nap. The beach is within walking distance, where you can hear the sound of the waves crashing in peacefulness. Use the full kitchen and its stainless steel appliances for an all-out dinner later in the evening! The electric fireplace will add ambience with a gorgeous view directly from the comfort of your chairs near the windows. You'll also have on-site activities to participate in, such as tennis courts, bocce ball, pickleball, pool, spa, and volleyball court.

This was such a lovely place stay if you’re looking for a little time away to just relax and unwind. The property was so comfortable and the views of the ocean were spectacular. We enjoyed daily beach walks, beautiful sunsets, and some great family time. We would definitely stay again!

Excellent views and really easy beach access
The stairs and split level would not be for everyone, but the closeness to the beach and views are unbeatable!
Everything about this property was wonderful from its clean/modern style to the location and amazing view of the ocean. We would definitely stay here again.
We did not have any correspondence with the host but the staff at Vacasa was helpful (or maybe it was Vrbo). To be honest, I still don't understand the overlap between Vacasa and Vrbo on this listing and truth be told, I found it very confusing. Neverthless, the house was wonderful! The location was exactly what we had hoped. The views to die for. The house was clean and comfortable. It would have been nice to have a little "coffee starter kit" or something so we didn't have run out right away. The listing doesn't mention what KIND of coffee pot they have or if there was even going to be coffee there so we had to see for ourselves before going to the grocery store. There was a few half used bags of coffee and filters someone else clearly left, but a few basics would go a long way (including olive oil for cooking, sugar and coffee, etc.) Otherwise, it was amazing. I'll be returning for sure!
We had a great time. The place was very nice. For our group was a little off the shopping path for us. Carmel had a fantastic food tour if anyone is interested.
This house was perfect for our stay in the Monterey area. The views are amazing, the beach was private and area is secluded. We took a day trip to Big Sur as well as Carmel and the Monterey Bay aquarium. I highly recommend this property.

Great home.
Clean and comfortable. Beautiful location right on the water. No issues at all. Would recommend to anyone
Exceptionnal view of the bay! Direct access to the beach! Calm environment. Great and spacious property, just as on photos! We explored Monterey, Carmel and the coast down to Big Sur. Easily accessible by car within reasonable distance. Wonderful stay!
Clean, comfortable, well-appointed, stylish property. Hot tub under the almost-full moon a plus. Unusually attractive, comfortable, and clean outdoor furniture for a beach rental. The beach is amazing and full of all kinds of shorebirds, and the plants and flowers on the dunes are stunning. A really special place.
House and hot tub were spotless, location was amazing, with direct access to beach down a boardwalk through the dunes, a one minute walk. Views from the house were spectacular, kitchen had plenty of cooking supplies and appliances to cook family meals. I would bring my family back here in a heartbeat! Miles of beautiful beach for walking, but beach was a bit steep, and ocean was a little too rough for swimming. This may be seasonal weather dependent.

Wonderful vacation spot
This was perfect for our family of 6. We loved the front patio with the hot tub, grill and kitchen/dining area. The beach was only a few steps away - and we had it completely to ourselves! It was very quiet and private - a peaceful escape. We loved the views of the ocean from the bedroom and upstairs in the living area. We will most definitely be back!

Beautiful location and great home
The beach where this property is located is beautiful! The foliage around the house is so pretty and the views from the house are lovely - you can see the pelicans flying north and south every morning and evening and walk the beach in both directions for quite a distance. The Monterey Dunes properties are private, well kept and clean as was the home. The house had everything we needed and we liked the hot tub too!
Great unit in a wonderful location. Comfortable, well equipped with both kitchen & bathroom supplies. It has a lot of stairs for anyone with mobility concerns. Otherwise, this is a wonderful VRBO gem!
The views and setting are just spectacular. Condo perfect size for our group. Wish we had more time here. Only downfall is ants all over, especially lower level in bathrooms and in washer. Understand due to dunes, etc.
Thanks for the opportunity!
The property was perfect for getting our beach "fix" with good friends. Although it was a little cool, it was still a great place to be together. The setting was perfect, the townhouse was just as it was shown on the website. It was very clean and well equipped. The only thing we found was the bath tubs were very slick for showering, the spices were old or lacking completely, so just bring your own if you plan on cooking. All in all, a great place to stay!

Location is fantastic!
The location of this property was a dream come true. We were looking for a place with an ocean view and easy access to the beach. This property filled that desire perfectly. It is also located in a gated community which made it feel more exclusive and secure. The property itself fit our needs very well. I will say that there are a lot of stairs, so it is not a good fit for anyone with mobility issues. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return again!
Our family had a great couple of nights at this property. The layout of the house was lovely and the views of the dunes and tea were just wonderful. It felt very airy, comfortable and relaxing. We enjoyed exploring nearby Moss Landing and seeing all the marine wildlife.
Only improvements would be to perhaps improve the blinds at the windows which were a bit flimsy and some of our clothes got spoilt by the washing machine, which probably needs a good clean. Overall we would definitely recommend to other families wanting somewhere chilled to stay near to busy Monterey.
We loved this house. It fit all of our needs. We had 4 adults and 3 kids. One kid slept on the couch and it was so comfy. We did have an ant issue in one of the downstairs bathrooms. We would have loved a box fan for each room to help push in the cool air from the windows since there is no AC. The beach is so close! The hot tub was small but nice. The pool was great as well.
Rented this property for the weekend as I was looking for a place to work over the weekend with a view for total relaxation and comfort...this property did ALL that and MORE! Absolutely stunning views built on the dunes and the layout of the property is ideal for a family beach vacation or a couples retreat. Home had all the amenities needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay, bed was comfortable, nice to have private/covered parking, and outdoor areas were vast and inviting. Be sure you stop to gather groceries and other personal things needed as the closest stores are a minimum minute drive. Highly recommend!
