Beyond amazing view!

First: BEACHFRONT! We went to sleep with the slider onto a private patio open and fell asleep to the sound of waves!! The beach is private - we literally shared it with one other family. The property was a bit shabby - but NOT dirty. Dated is a good adjective. But the view was worth a bit of dated decore The only bad part was communication with property management. We were checking the next day and still hadn’t received check in information. I texted, called and texted multiple times before I got an answer. Then, the direction for getting into the gate after hours was wrong. It gave 2 options, but our unit used a different system Overall - AMAZING!!

This property takes you back in time. Views are breathtaking. I picked this house based on price. There are some updates that certainly could be made but it was clean!

New Years at the Beach

We truly enjoyed our recent stay in Monterey Dunes. This home is quite lovely and has many nice amenities. The only negative critique we have is that the kitchen appliances need to be updated. We had some difficulty working the stove and microwave. Some of the decor and utilities of the home (E.g., linens, blankets, pillows, kitchen utensils, and fixtures) are pretty dated which we did not mind but it would be nice if the owners consider replacing several of these items over the next few years. The location is beautiful and super close to the beach. We highly recommend this location for a couple or small family needing to unwind and take a break from the hectic world for awhile. Also, not far form Santa Cruz or Downtown Monterey so lots to do close by.

Beautiful location with everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

Classic beach condo, somewhat dated, with some nice upgrades. Comfortable and welcoming. If we are ever back, we will try to stay again!

Beach paradise

I love this particular condo and have stayed here two years in a row. Not much had changed from the 1st year and again we loved it! I have two things for the owner to take notice on though, due to the salty air the patio furniture front/back are so rusty and falling apart. I did not let any of the kids out without shoes so that there was no chance of rusty splinters in their feet and tetanus shots. The last things is the back lower bedroom has blinds missing which makes it feel funny while sleeping (someone could be peaking). Nice drapery that you can open and close would be so much nicer.

Monterey dunes colony

It is a beautiful setting with wonderful amenities such as pool/basketball/hot tub etc...however, this house needs a lot of work. mouse droppings, cracking paint, very old stained bedding, beds as hard as rocks. The outdoor furniture was extremely old. The inside furniture was old and very angular and hard.

Can’t beat the ocean view / Property a little shabby

The oceanfront view and access was as described and great. The property itself was OK—could use an update but was functionally fine. We enjoyed the local kayaking and seafood. It was just a short drive to Monterey and Carmel.
