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.

Exceptionnal view of the bay! Direct access to the beach! Calm environment. Great and spacious property, just as on photos! We explored Monterey, Carmel and the coast down to Big Sur. Easily accessible by car within reasonable distance. Wonderful 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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Loved the view and the ammenities. All bedrooms were lovely and well appointed. Enjoyed the view on the deck and from the living room. Hot tub would not go above 99. But was still nice as it was chilly when we were there.

A bit disappointing

Positives:Stunning dunes and beach accessQuiet, private locationEasy drive to Monterey, Carmel and Santa CruzNegatives:Outdated homeCheap feeling towels and sheets, not enough towelsDoesn’t feel clean-surface areas were ok but the place could use a thorough deep cleanThe home has an odd smellThe main shower is so short! I’m only 5’7” and I had to duck under it. Not worth the price we paidNo instructions for how to access garage or use any amenities-pool, gym, etcDoesn’t feel homey like other rentals, missing things like coffee pods, cooking necessities, the fridge doesn’t have an ice maker or filtered water. It just didn’t feel welcoming.

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!

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.
