Beautiful rustic beach location ! Beach condo was great! 3 different levels with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Master bedroom did have an odor near bathroom but hopefully can be addressed. Home well stocked with lots of nice extras. Clubhouse has tennis, pickleball, swimming and hot tub. Very private and quiet area! We would definitely stay here again. Another chair or 2 by windows looking at beach would be great! We moved chairs from bedrooms to allow all to sit and watch the beautiful beach!

The location was outstanding, with not just amazing views but such quick and easy access to the beach. Everyone loved being so close to the beach and popping out for playing games, shell collecting or a sunset walk. The property was very well fitted out, with everything you could ever need - TVs signed into all major streaming services, oodles of DVDs (we watched some classics!), electronically adjustable firmness beds, exercise mirror, steam shower, and very modern kitchen. The host was super responsive to even the most minor of issues ensuring a fabulous stay - we could not of asked for more, thank you!

Lovely coastal location right on the dunes north of Monterey. Easy drive to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The owner was very helpful and responsive. The beds and linens were so comfortable. We saw dolphins from the condo, and a neighbor said there was a pod of whales! All the decor was so cute, and the bathroom fixtures were very luxurious. Highly recommend! (Also we liked the Trolley Car Rotisserie in Castroville for an easy take-out family dinner and the Country Kitchen in Prunedale for a fantastic brunch on our way out of town.)

This was easily the best vacation rental we've ever stayed in. Most vacation rentals are stocked with very cheap appliances and utensils, and cooking in some can be quite a challenge. But everything here was top notch. My teenage girls really enjoyed each having their own room with comfortable beds. The host provided very clear and helpful communications about our stay before and during our trip. The walk to the beach was as advertised, only seconds away. Incredible views from 2nd floor picture windows.

The Best Vacation

We chose this home, after much research, for our first big family vacation and it did not disappoint! The location right on the beach is amazing, especially with the giant windows that allowed me to watch my kids play while staying inside. The comfy chairs were my favorite spot to watch the sunrise with my morning coffee. Every appliance we might need was available. The bathrooms were well stocked and the showers were lovely. I actually slept well each night thanks to the sleep number beds! Our only complaint the whole trip was that we had to leave too soon. Highly highly recommend!

A lovely, cozy and spacious home. Perfect for families or mixed groups. While it’s not a swimming beach, the waves were incredible to watch the house or the short walk to the dunes. The clubhouse has great amenities, and the house provided rackets and other activities. My son and his friend had a great time!

Fun family getaway

I stayed here over President’s Day weekend with my husband and our two kids (12 and 8), and my cousin, her partner and her son (4). The kids loved the beach which is right in front of the property accessed by a short walkway- it is not swimmable but they loved dipping their feet, playing in the sand and flying a kite that was at the house. We also enjoyed the hot tub at the clubhouse. We all ate dinner at the dining table and there is a huge TV in the living room as well as the bedrooms and big DVD selection plus streaming services. Chairs are set up overlooking the ocean with a telescope. 25 minute drive to Monterey, 8-10 minute drive to Castroville which is a small town with various food options (lots of seafood and Mexican). We met people who live there full time who also recommend a Thai restaurant in Moss Landing which is not far. It was more remote than I realized, surrounded by farmlands, so you definitely have to drive to go anywhere outside the gated community.

If You Love The Ocean - This is the Place

The views are wonderful! As stated, the home is only a few seconds from the beach. We have stayed in this area previously and this home has been the best. There are several upgrades which were greatly appreciated. Most important for me was Starlink WiFi! While I don't know much about Lululemon Studio / Mirror, our daughter was very excited and had a wonderful workout. When returning to the Monterey area, this is certainly a home we will return to!

New Year Stay with Family at MD

Lisa’s communication is good and she was helpful. She is a kind host. She left a basket of treats and a good bottle of wine for us plus a Christmas tree. She offers use of aquarium passes. This MD home is a mix of new and old. The new: Appliances in kitchen and laundry are new (all mid to high end). Floors and TVs are new. Knife set is new. The old: There are light fixtures, wall heating units, a fan, and drapery rod and clips that are rusted. Two of the bathrooms are nice and updated. The ocean view bedroom is in need of multiple improvements. There is comfortable outdoor deck seating. Living room recliner chairs are great. Game and sports closets are stocked. The bedrooms need a place to store clothes. Some rooms need paint. The beds, have fine mattresses, but some do not have proper, sturdy bed frames. More attention to detailed cleaning and tv cord management are needed. Worn kitchen utensils and used up candles need to be thrown out. Of note, there are instruction signs taped onto walls at most doors, in all bathrooms, at fireplace and in kitchen. We have been in many units at Monterey Dunes over a 30 year period and can say that no matter which unit you stay in, the ocean and its creatures, native plants, birds, bunnies, the dunes, and the Clubhouse never disappoint and there are fun destinations and activities nearby in Castroville, Moss Landing, Monterey, Bug Sur, Pacific Grove, and Carmel.

Great Place for "Big" Birthday celebration!

We were a group of 7 (age range 6-80) and had a fabulous time. The accommodations and location are A++. Lisa's attention to detail is amazing and the telescope with the camera attached was above and beyond. The beds in the bedrooms were all very comfortable and the steam bath was such a wonderful luxury. The kitchen was very well equipped and nothing was lacking. Communication with the host was excellent! The fact that the house comes with 4 passes to Monterey Bay Aquarium was a very pleasant surprise. We hope come back in the summer when the weather will be better for using the tennis courts and hot tub.
