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.

Questionable Cleaning

The location, neighborhood and proximity to beach was outstanding. However the cleanliness was not what I expected. Bathroom was not cleaned there were not bath towels in either of the downstairs bathrooms only hand towels. Kitchen glasses and silverware needed to be washed again before use. Also a couple of blankets had satins on them I find it very unfair that these rental properties have such high cleaning costs and then the place is not clean. For the cost they are charging I shouldn’t have to do any cleaning or washing before I leave. Very disappointing and unfair and the cost always seem to be very subjective.

Wonderful family getaway on beach!

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.

Feels like mid-level hotel chain, not a cozy beach house

Plus:Location & view—spectacular; well-stocked kitchen in terms of dishes, pots, pans; good supply of extra blankets Minus:• Vacasa property management was the most negative aspect of the rental. We will never rent property managed by Vacasa again. (See below.)• Lighting –cold, blue LED not warm or inviting. Kitchen lighting insufficient.• Seating – plentiful, but the large sectional sofa is old, saggy & uncomfortable. • Wi-fi – slow & unreliable, which made communication with Vacasa & anything else impossible. • Bare minimum amenities • Property profile lists 2 bedrooms with King beds but only one had a King.• In general décor feels industrial & overly curated.Vacasa is not an effective property manager:• Communications are generic, AI-generated, unhelpful & misleading. • Promises of possible early check-in or later check-out but that’s bogus. They made no attempt to advise on those possibilities, despite multiple requests. That said, even though when we arrived 2 hours earlier than official check-in, the rental was empty, clean & available. • Officially 4pm check-in & 10am check-out is stingy compared with most vacation rentals.• Renters are asked to obtain all information online, but the horrible Wi-fi made that impossible.• No written instructions for anything in the unit – all online! We spent 24 hours cold & uncomfortable before we figured out how to turn on the heat. The “fireplace” does not generate heat; it's for show only.

Relaxation at its best

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!

Roaring ocean

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.

Lovely house with super views

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.

California trip

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!

Great Vacation Home!!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.
