Lisa was amazing and very accommodating and quick to fix any issue we might have had. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice relaxing place to stay.
The house is beautiful, and you can't beat the location. It was like it was made specifically for our girls' weekend. Lisa, our host, was very responsive to our questions. If you're looking for a place in this area, you couldn't find a lovelier place!
Such a gorgeous beach property in a lovely area. We appreciated so much that there were amenities for kids too (baby gate, toys, movies, Disney, beach toys, etc). Check in was easy and seamless. The instructions for everything were easy to access and understand. The home is tidy. The view and proximity to the beach is unmatched. We will actively be looking to stay in the Dunes for our future visits!
This place was magical with beautiful surroundings. This condo has very nice appliances and beds. Access to the hot tub was a bonus. We used it as a jumping off point to point loves and Big Sur for day trips and then had a wonderful place to unwind afterward. Would book again!
This property had outstanding amenities! It was very comfortable and easy to get to Monterey/Carmel/Pacific Grove. I would highly recommend this property and we plan to come back next year!
Very comfortable, great location. Thoughtful hosts - lots of useful instructions, very responsive, and they even left a bottle of wine for the adults and little squishmallows which thrilled the kids!
We had a great stay here just a few miles north of Monterey. The place was very nice and had great views. We had a couple of small questions that came up for the owner and they responded quickly and thoroughly to make sure our stay was the best it could be.
Came for college graduation. View was stunning. Very close to beach. House immaculate and very easy to communicate with host. Everything we needed for a weekend stay. Would love to stay longer in future.
Wonderful stay! Right on the beach, we seen whales and sea lions! Owners were very easy to get in touch with. Has everything you could need. Definitely recommend!
The pictures don't do the house justice. This place felt more like a home than most rentals. Home is well equipped, comfortable, labels everywhere so you know how things work, and the security at the entrance was amazing! Lisa is a fantastic and I hope to stay here again!
We celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday and I couldn’t have been happier with the place and location. The house is beautiful, super clean, and the views spectacular. I appreciate Lisa’s frequent check ins and would highly recommend this beautiful home.
We loved this property! Excellent views of the ocean, easy access to the beach, club house privileges (tennis, basketball, pool in the summer, hot tub, etc), VERY QUIET neighborhood, quick access to Monterey, includes use of four free passes to the Aquarium, very clean, well stocked kitchen, extremely responsive host. This property was perfect! We highly recommend!
My family had a wonderful stay in Monterey Dunes. This property was steps from the beach, had stunning ocean views. The home was very clean, well organized and the amenities were top notch. I whole heartedly recommend this property!
