About this property

3740 Sanctuary in the Dunes ~ Oceanfront, Available for Extended Stays!

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Sanctuary in the Dunes"! Sleeps up to 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children age 12 and under.

Long Term Rates available - ask your Reservation Specialist for more details.

This ocean-side 1-bedroom 1-bath condominium nestles against the sand dunes on Del Monte beach in Monterey. From your living room and wraparound deck, enjoy a panorama of pelicans, otters, dolphins and vast shoreline views wrapping around the bay.

Sanctuary in the Dunes is a 880 square feet, end unit condominium located in the Ocean Harbor House complex on Del Monte Beach in Monterey. Within 5 minutes by car, you're at Monterey's Old Fisherman's Wharf, great restaurants, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, downtown Monterey, shops and nightlife that includes live music. Travel Highway 1 to Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pebble Beach® and Pacific Grove -- all only 15 minutes away. Highway 1 is also the route to Big Sur -- just 45 minutes away and one of the most scenic drives in the world.

If you're in the mood to walk, follow the nearby footpath nearby called the Regional Beach Trail that connects the entire Monterey Peninsula, over 15 miles from Pacific Grove to the Marina. If you ever had the slightest desire to take a 10+mile walk, let this be the one.

At night, look to the southwest as the harbor dresses for evening in a million twinkling lights. Then look to the northeast, where your senses are soothed by ocean sounds and saltwater smells. Walking on the beach at dusk will be one of the most memorable experiences of your visit. This single-story corner unit's closest neighbor is sand and surf. Follow the footpath just outside your door to the beach.

Living Space
Decorated in crisp whites and ocean blues, this 880-square-foot condo epitomizes seashore elegance. The open floor plan features a living area with a plush sofa and chair. The electric fireplace is Decorative in nature and while it is not a heat source, it gives off a pleasant, ambient glow. The well-equipped kitchen with full-sized appliances making cooking-in easy. The china and glassware are worthy of entertaining your most discriminating guests. Whimsical artwork dots the walls with inspired reminders that you are at the beach. Available for Extended Stays!

Bedroom and Bathroom
The bedroom has luxurious linens for the queen size bed, a TV and direct access to the bathroom.
The recently remodeled bathroom has a shower over tub.

A stacking washer and dryer are located in a closet off the bedroom and the complex has additional laundry facilities with pay-per-load machines that take cards, not quarters.

The unit has one assigned parking space and a small, shared garage space for parking a small to medium car, thus there is a 2-car maximum for guests staying at this vacation home though there is sometimes street parking available outside of the gate as well.

The complex has two pools - one is heated, two jacuzzis, a workout room, sauna.

Small, quiet, well-behaved dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.

When you need a place to get away from it all yet be close to everything, choose Sanctuary in the Dunes.

This home is a monthly rental and we request that all nights of your stay are within the same calendar month. Some exceptions may be possible, with the approval of our team and the homeowner. Extended stays are often possible.

This vacation home is professionally managed by Sanctuary Vacation Rentals.

Ocean Retreat
Overall, we had a wonderful time while staying at this property. I would have given this property five stars for everything but there was one problem that went unresolved. Parking. We were unable to get our car into the parking enclosure not because the garage was too small but because another homeowner’s car made it impossible to enter or exit. We ended up having to park on the street which was often congested with no parking places due to beach goers. I found the response to our parking situation from Sanctuary fell short. In all other respects, the property was delightful as was the Sanctuary staff.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Sanctuary in the Dunes was everything we hoped it would be and more. Our condo was excellent, very clean and stocked well with all that we needed for our months stay. We enjoyed the Monterey area and the restaurants we went to had such awesome seafoods. We will definitely go back again as we enjoyed being close to the ocean and beach to take daily walks on the boardwalk and on the beach. We have many great memories of our stay and definitely would like to return again.

Beautiful and delightful apt.
Had a one month stay at this property in Monterey and found the apt. absolutely delightful, beautifully renovated and decorated with great sound system/kitchen. This end-unit has a unique ocean view with the soothing sounds of the ocean. The only problem encountered was that the covered parking spaced has an extremely narrow entrance and only suitable for parking of a small car. The on premise guest parking is only available for 5days, after that, got notices from HOA regarding not considered a guest. HOA did not approve the proper sticker for parking at the space allocated to the owner of the apt. Had to park on the street....
