Monterey Bay House on Miles of Secluded Beach

When most people dream of California, they picture the beach right outside their door. Our oceanfront home is exactly that and can be yours for a memorable getaway. With 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, our two-story townhome is ideal for family visits or a group of friends. Our home is located in the private, gated community of Monterey Dunes Colony. If you haven't heard of the Monterey Dunes Colony let us introduce you to this very unique place, one of the few private communities on the California Coast and conveniently set just off Highway One between Monterey and Santa Cruz…so perfectly secluded, yet so close to the rich cultural and entertainment life of the Monterey peninsula.

Miles of secluded beach is only steps away on the boardwalk connecting our home directly through the dunes to the sand. Our beautiful oceanfront home is nestled in this very fragile, magnificent sand dune environment thousands of years in the making. We preserve it by never walking on the sand dunes; we all play an important role in preserving this natural beauty.

The living room, dining room, and upstairs master bedroom all offer panoramic views of the entire Monterey Bay. Relax in Adirondack chairs on both the ocean-side deck and the land-side patio. Visit in comfort in the living room’s sectional/recliner sofa and cushioned window benches. Retreat to the comfortable chaise in the master bedroom to read or fully take in the amazing views. End the day watching spectacular sunsets over the Pacific Ocean. Sleep will come easy with the sound of the crashing waves, the only thing you’ll hear in this peaceful, private, gated community!

All three spacious bedrooms are furnished with king-size beds; the downstairs bedroom also includes a twin bed. The two upstairs bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and the third bathroom is just outside of the downstairs bedroom. All linens, towels, and toiletries are included as well as a washer and a dryer.

Utilize our fully equipped kitchen and outdoor propane BBQ grill. Or dine out at wonderful close-by restaurants found in our guest directory. Our home includes four TV sets with satellite receivers, a DVD player, and WiFi. Park your car out of the elements in our two-car garage. All you need to bring is your food, clothing, and a desire to relax and enjoy the peaceful, natural beauty that awaits you.

Monterey Dunes Colony offers many private recreational facilities including a pool and hot tub, tennis courts, a basketball court, a golf driving net, shuffleboard, and a sand volleyball court. Come and live your dream vacation at our oceanfront home!

Sorry, no pets. Smoking is not permitted.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony or patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop.

Quiet Location with Amazing Views

Overall we had a great stay. Shelli, the host, was very communicative. An issue with the refrigerator was discovered prior to our stay but Shelli contacted us to let us know about it before hand and offered a discounted rate for the inconvenience. We visited during the off season so it was super quiet. The condo is a quick 20 minute drive to Cannery Row in Monterey. Would definitely stay again.

50th Anniversary Get Together

This is a lovely and peaceful secluded home on a private section of beautifully preserved sand dunes on Monterey Bay. There was nothing lacking in our enjoyment of our five nights there. We made a few suggestions for minor improvements or changes which were very well received.

Beautiful Stay at the Dunes

We had a wonderful time at the Dunes. It was wonderful for our family of 5 (with 3 boys 7,5, &1) to just walk out the door and get to the beach. A short drive to Monterey for entertainment made this getaway the best of both worlds in terms of privacy and popular sight-seeing. With the kitchen fully stocked, clean rooms, laundry, and access to the pool, spa, and athletic facilities this is a prime location for any family who wants to get away and be worry free about taking their kids to crowded places. You could easily cook a great meal with the kitchen or even order out for delivery so you don’t have to leave the views. I would just tell anyone with a young one to bring a baby gate.

Monterey Dunes Getaway

What a little slice of Heaven! A private gated oceanfront community with lots of privacy. The Condo was exceptional! It was clean & updated and it worked perfectly for our group of 3 couples. It was everything it said it was, but even better. We loved that the beach was only steps away and that we were only 15 to 30 minutes from everywhere we wanted to We highly recomment this unit and would definitely stay again.

Wonderful place in a beautiful location

We absolutely loved staying in the townhouse! The location in Monterey Dunes was beautiful and quiet and we so enjoyed walking on the beach, sitting on the deck looking out over the ocean while enjoying our morning coffee and sunset in the evening. The townhouse is beautifully decorated. We cooked most of our meals there and found everything we needed in the well stocked kitchen. The layout of the place is great with privacy between rooms. What a great place for our family get away!

Awesome rental!

This home is so beautiful! The furnishings are extremely comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed for our Monday-Friday stay. Shelli was just a text away when we needed some help, and she is so patient and kind. We could not have asked for a better home away from home. This place is the BEST!!! It even has 3 King size beds, a heated community swimming pool and hot tub. The beach goes on for miles. Thank you for sharing this beauty with others! WOW!

Monterey Dunes Beach Condo's

Great secluded beach condo 20 miles south of Monterey in the sand dunes. Great for beach walks. Condo is very comfortable and spacious with 3 bedrooms with king sized beds. New great room sofa as well as nice dining table to seat 6. Linens were adequate and included a washer and dryer. On the beach with just a short walk thru the dunes to the ocean. I was there with three female friends to play golf and enjoy the beach. We all enjoyed our stay.
