Blue Diamond at Monterey Dunes 3bed/3bath-sleeps 7

Escape to the beach! Enjoy this newly refreshed townhome in the exclusive Monterey Dunes Colony. Half-way between Santa Cruz and Monterey (Pacific Grove, Carmel), an excellent home base for many activities on the California coast. Enjoy the quaint town of Moss Landing, just five minutes from the house. Our home is easily accessible from Highway 1. It's also within 10 minutes of major retailers like Target and Costco yet it feels light years away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. Amenities include heated pool (April-October), year-round hot tub, beach volleyball, tennis, basketball, pickleball and bocci ball courts. Our home has two oceanside decks plus a courtyard patio with a grill. Enjoy the wood burning fireplace while watching for whales in the winter. Rejuvenate yourself with long lazy beach days in the summer. Our hospitality can't be beat. Make use of the washer/dryer, Dish TV, stove, dishwasher and fridge. The kitchen is stocked with spices, oils, coffee and the like. Enjoy the many games and puzzles while watching the waves. Please note that the wifi is good for e-mails and streaming but not always 100% reliable. Our home is a split-level floor plan so be prepared for several steps between each level. We have a Ring video doorbell. Finally, absolutely no pets per HOA rules.

Coastal Bliss
Perfect space with a professional host in an uncrowded area on a beautiful coast. Three couples fit easily, and the sports courts, pool, and hot tub were all ours when we weren’t walking the shore. Really the most relaxing getaway.

Beautiful sunsets and long walks on the beach

Wonderful place, and that view!
We had a wonderful time at the Blue Diamond, we love staying at Pajaro Dunes or Monterey Dunes when we visit, this was probably the most equipped home we stayed in, everything we needed was there, even things we didn’t, the kitchen was fully equipped and you see the care and attention the owner take with this place in the details. Thank you Deb for an awesome stay!

Dunes and Ocean experience
We enjoyed our stay at Monterey Dunes. We were three couples, and the unit was ideal for us. Well stocked and enough space to comfortably accommodate the six of us. Great location with great views and access to the dunes and ocean. Recommend a visit to Elkhorn Slough Conservancy.

Great weekend away with friends!
Gorgeous location. As we were so close to the beach, we went for a walk in the morning before returning for brunch. What a treat! Very well equipped kitchen, which made it a pleasure to cook together. And the combination of very comfortable bed and the sound of crashing ocean waves made for a great night of sleep. And Deb was just awesome with quick response to any question we had. Highly recommend!

Wonderful long weekend with family!
We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Blue Diamond for 3 nights. We found the condo very well appointed with everything we needed, and all the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen were helpfully labeled. We had a great time at the beach, which is so convenient and also played tennis and used the hot tub at the clubhouse. The condo is remote yet close enough to a few restaurants and stores, and only 20-30 min to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

Excellent choice
It was a smooth and easy experience from booking, communications, check-in, check-out, very well organized. The house has 3 bedrooms with a king bed in each which was perfect for traveling with other adults. The attention to detail and amenities available were very well done, even with labels on the kitchen cabinets to make it easy to find the exact item. We loved the proximity to the ocean and the ease to step out the door and be on a boardwalk to the beach. It was very quiet and we had the beach to ourselves.

Very clean and comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood, and very well equipped with absolutely everything you need! The living room, dining room, kitchen, and master bedroom have breathtaking views of Monterey Bay. Walk out the back steps and you are on the beach. Thank you for being an attentive caring host and sharing your home with us! We will be back soon.

Scenic, secluded vacation property
Comfortable, well equipped, well managed, 3 level condo right on the dunes overlooking the ocean. Immaculately clean, in a quiet, gated community. Community has nice, medium sized swimming pool and hot tub and 2 very nice tennis courts. We stayed during Easter week and there were just a few families around. Beach was very clean with just a few fisherman in the morning. Saw a lot of bunnies in the dunes and spotted a few dolphins one morning. Host was very communicative and accommodating.

Clean, comfortable and magical beach home
The location of this home on the Monterey Dunes is absolutely magical. The house was clean, and very well appointed- especially with all of the things in the kitchen. The games and books that are available were also more than expected. There is plenty of gear, beach toys, tennis rackets, beach towels even soap, shampoo,, etc so you really only need to bring yourselves. Direct path to a beautiful private beach and the amenities with pool, tennis court, hot tub were fantastic. Deborah was quick to communicate. We had a wonderful stay with family and would definitely return.

Weekend Getaway
I chose this rental for two reasons 1) The size of the unit and 2) The proximity to the water. Both of those expectations were exceeded. The community that the condo resides in was quiet, clean, and peaceful. There was no actual trouble checking in or checking out. The property manager Deb answered back quickly before, during, and after my stay. She was pleasant, considerate, and thoughtful. The house was stocked with EVERYTHING that we could think of like kitchen appliances, toiletries, and games & movies. The condo was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Last thing I will say is the location was perfect....steps to the water. Even thought the weather was overcast and dreary being that close to the ocean was awesome!

Amazing quiet location on the beach!
The property is great for a get-away.... gated, private, right on the beach, you can hear the waves at night, you have your own private bunny hopping through the bushes, and the house has all the amenities you need. Spices, oil, cooking utensils, flatware and dishware, and the beds are comfy. Each room has a bathroom which is an added plus. My nephew loved the puzzles that were available, and I hung out on the lounge chairs on the deck with a glass of vino. Couldn't be happier. Thank you!!!!

Amazing Stay at Blue Diamond !!!!
Our multi-generational family of four adults and two children had an amazing stay at the Blue Diamond. Communication with the host (Deb) was clear, timely and reliable. The house was spotless on arrival. The generous-sized beds were very comfortable. The view was fantastic and it was so pleasant to wake up each morning to the sounds of the sea. The hostess thought of our every need. The wagon to cart the kids and supplies to the pool, hot tub, club-house was much appreciated. Kitchen was well-stocked with spices, oil, sugar, etc.. I can't wait to return. Thank you Deb for sharing your beautiful slice of California Coast with my family. We made some great memories and can't wait to return soon.
