Primary Renter Must be 25 Years of Age to Rent (Proof of Age Required)

Welcome to Monterey Dune Haven, your secluded hideaway for a never-to-be-forgotten vacation! Nestled on the Monterey Peninsula, this luxurious retreat sits amongst 120 individually-owned homes, stretched over a mile of colorful, sandy beachfront. The area is known for its hundreds of festivals, tournaments, shows, races, and tours - making it a perfect destination for the whole family. Spend your days engaging in some playful competition on some of the world's finest golf courses, watching the whales from the home's back deck, and saying hello to the unique wildlife at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Additional hotspots nearby include Pebble Beach and Moss Landing's numerous antique shops.

When you aren't relishing the surf and the sand, collecting seashells, and watching the sea otters at play, head for the community's shared pool, tennis court, or volleyball court.

When a break from the sun is warranted, head inside the luxurious interior of Monterey Dune Haven. Here, the living is full of light, adorned with high-end furnishings, and decked with modern amenities. Floor-to-ceiling windows highlight the expansive living room with a large TV, ample seating, and beautiful artwork. The adjacent gourmet kitchen radiantly gleams with its granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and center island. When mealtime rolls around, family-style meals can be indulged in at the large formal dining table.

Comfort is in abundance in each of the four bedrooms. Well decorated with subtle hints of nautical living, the bedrooms offer soft linens, private TVs, and plentiful storage space. Additional interior perks include a separate washer/dryer, a fireplace, an EV charger, and internet access.

As the waves crash, fire up the provided gas grill on the patio and host a sweet summer barbecue. Also, outside, you'll find a pleasant seating area and a firepit.

Love the Dunes but don’t love this house. This house had the room for our family but it is managed by a company rather than the owner which is the first time in 40 years we have had this experience. House info manual was non existent. There were several maintenance issues which we brought to the attention of the management which will hopefully be corrected for future renters but left us not wanting to rent this property in the future.

The Kitchen was fully stocked, with plenty of plateware, glassware and tons of utensils. The bedrooms were so comfy with every room having its own cozy blanket at the end of the bed, and super cozy beds. Our whole experience was fabulous! We are already planning a return trip!

Wonderful Stay

The house is exactly as it appears in the photographs. The beds were very comfortable. Everything that you need for a great stay is in the house. The only negative we have is that it was a little pricey for the length of stay we had.

Outstanding property! It was clean, well appointed, fully equipped with towels, paper goods, kitchen needs. We are a group of women friends who enjoy cooking at home and found everything we needed. The location is fantastic on the waterfront; it. was quiet, safe; we had the beach to ourselves! The home was extremely comfortable. We loved the home and highly recommend it!

Perfect in Every Way

This house was beautifully set up with such a spectacular and magical view. Quick walk to quiet and expansive ocean. Short walk to pool and activity complex. We were two families with 4 kids ages 6-9. Each family member, adult and child had an incredible time and we barely left the complex.

Overall it's a nice unit

I have been to the dunes many times since the 90s. This unit was recently upgraded. It looks great and is very clean. My only complaint was that the cleaning crew was still finishing cleaning when we arrived at our check-in time and we had to wait an hour and fifteen minutes before they were done. Also, the water dispenser on the fridge is on the fritz.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 July 2024
Thank you for your feedback, David! We're delighted to hear that you found the recent upgrades to the unit impressive and appreciated the cleanliness. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the cleaning crew still finishing up when you arrived and the delay it caused. We understand how important it is to have the unit ready at the designated check-in time. We have addressed this with our housekeeping team to ensure it does not happen in the future. Additionally, we have refunded you for the inconvenience caused. Regarding the water dispenser on the fridge, we have informed our local operations manager about the issue, and it is being looked into to ensure it is fixed promptly.

This Home is Amazing

Had a great experience with the home. Getting into the gated community was easy and smooth, the guard at the front gate was so friendly and helpful. Kitchen was furnished with plenty of utensils and plates. Bedrooms had blankets and sheets and super comfy throw blankets. Plenty of towels for bathrooms as well. Internet was fast and never lagged. The home had plenty of room for our group of 9. The living room are was spacious and had an amazing view of the beach. Beach access was directly behind the house. Loved sitting on the porch to watch the sunset in the evening. Renting this home was the perfect way to spend the holiday.

Amazing Views

This house is just beautiful. The views from the two story windows to the furnishings. The beds are comfortable and everything was clean. You can walk to the beach from your back door in minutes. The children ages 1-16 had fun at the beach and playing basketball/pickleball at the clubhouse. The clubhouse is a 15 minute walk away. Getting to the aquarium is a 25 minute drive and pebble beach is 30. The only minor troubles we had were getting the tvs to work (needed new batteries) and there were only 6 towels and 2 beach towels for 8 people. Pack some extras and you are set. We would totally stay here again. It was such a fun family home.
