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.

LOCATION!!
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.

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 Stay Right on the Dunes
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.

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!

Together again at the beach
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!

Great location for serenity and peacefulness. Nice space and amenities. Note that it is difficult to get Uber or Lyft to come out for pick-ups (even when reserved in advance) but is easy for drop-offs. Very quiet and lovely environment to be a part of.

Amazingly Peaceful with GORGEOUS views!
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!

A lovely Oceanside experience
We recently celebrated our son's 25th birthday at the Monterey Dune Dream Stay, and it was an unforgettable experience! This secluded location provided the perfect Oceanside getaway for our family. The home was immaculate, well-maintained, and perfectly suited for our needs. We loved the plethora of amenities available, which made our stay incredibly comfortable and enjoyable. One thing to note is that the nearest stores are at least 15 minutes away, so planning ahead for groceries and supplies is essential. However, this minor inconvenience was far outweighed by the serene and beautiful surroundings, making it an ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Overall, our stay was nothing short of perfection, and we highly recommend Monterey Dune Dream Stay for anyone seeking a tranquil and luxurious escape by the ocean.

Moss landing vrbo
This place exceeded our expectations, all except for one thing. The interior lighting is very bright white led lighting throughout, so the spaces completely lose their beautiful warmth when it gets dark outside and you have to turn the lights on. More attention to the quality of lighting would make a huge difference. Otherwise, we all loved this property and location.

Amazing experience!
This house was everything we wanted and more! Close walk to the beach, can see the water from the house, a fantastic view! Had all amenities and things we needs for a short trip. All the kitchen essentials, bathroom essentials were provided. I do recommend finding a grocery store and shopping for food and snacks before arriving it is out of the way from anything. Great proximity to Monterey and Carmel. Again exactly what we were looking for!! I am putting this in my review because I was wondering before we left. They have a regular coffee maker and a keurig. There was a small Folgers grounds provided (maybe left from someone else) but no pods. Sugar and creamer also not provided. LOVED EVERY SECOND OF THIS TRIP!

Lovely home on the dunes in Moss Landing
The house was open and nicely decorated. The windows facing the beach/dunes were awesome...filled the whole room with sunshine and sunsets. The front master with walk in shower was awesome, the bed comfortable and the view of the dunes exceptional. Other master bedroom on same floor was nice, the bathroom shower a little slippery (maybe a bathmat is in order). Twin beds upstairs very uncomfortable (hard & squeaky) but a nice view of the sunrise in the morning. Plenty of closet space in all three bedrooms. The bathroom upstairs also has a very slippery shower (again a bathmat needed). The kitchen was nice; however, pans and silverware could be updated. It was nice to have two types of coffee pots, and the floor mats, we felt, are trip hazards. We set them aside during our stay. All in all and very nice stay for our 3-couple anniversary celebration! Went to Monterey a couple of times and up to the small town of Moss Landing. Had a very enjoyable time.

Beautiful view but some problems
We loved the location and view and 2 master bedrooms. But we had ants everywhere and many things that didn't work: the shades in the Master bedroom with a view, the garage door would intermittently work, but others times not. The hot tub was cold one night. It appears many of these things have been "jerry rigged" to work a few times, but them break. It appears new equipment should be bought for the screen and the garage door.

lovely ocean view
Monterey Bay is so dynamic at this location. The waves break in long lines, like nothing I’ve seen before and watching them change throughout the day as the tide recedes and comes back in was so captivating. Kitchen was very very well stocked aside from missing a 1 cup measuring cup. A few too many pillows on the sectional and beds, but plenty of room to stash them. Cozying up in the large swivel chairs by the ocean facing windows was perfect. Hot tub was a nice bonus. Not shared, and felt very private. The place was super clean. No complaints. Watching the full moon set over the ocean in the morning was brilliant. I saw a few seals and my friend thinks he saw a shark. This is a great spot to spend some time and relax. Beach front bedroom with a king size bed, too many pillows, and an ocean view. What else do you really need?

Views, Comfort and Stairs
My parents and my family of four stayed here for five days in May and had a lovely time. Having two masters with attached bathrooms was perfect for two couples. (Though only one couple gets the attached patio overlooking the ocean!) With no reviews to go on, I was nervous to book this, but I am SO glad we believed the photos! The views from every level were spectacular, and the window chairs were my favorite perch. My parents prefer high-backed chairs, but we found the sectional super comfy (despite the many pillows). Great beds, too! The kitchen and dining spaces were tight for six adults but were stocked with everything we could possibly need for the two meals we cooked there. We ate our other meals at nearby Sea Harvest in Moss Landing, which had delicious seafood, patio seating and views of otters! Speaking of otters, we found two brand new kayaks and life vests in the garage, which we were able to put in the water on the same pier as Sea Harvest. As we paddled around, we saw five otters and a sea lion. Highly recommend! When we weren't on the water, we were walking along the beach that was only steps away from both the downstairs master bedroom patio and the mid-level patio door by the dining room. Be prepared, with all the levels, there were a LOT of stairs. Other cons: - showers need updating - LOUD bath fans - dinner plates too big for dishwasher - tiny hot tub Other pros: - resort hot tub - shower water pressure - laundry machines - closet space Enjoy!
