Ocean Front. Beach Front. Sandy Beach- Dream Get Away by The Ocean

From our guests:
Our guests love us and here’s what they are telling us:
“There is no substitute for being able to walk barefoot from your rental to the beach…..”
Laurel M., April 2022

The ocean is calling and we invite you to the old-fashioned pleasures of sand, sun, and ocean waves.

Situated on the coast of northern California featuring miles of beaches, our beach front and ocean front home is on the beach ideal for unwind, romantic getaways, adventures, leisure, family retreats, or a simple pleasure of return to the nature. Offer year-round unique vacations, we have created a rustic-chic hide-away in the dunes that provides comfortable accommodations with spectacular ocean views and direct beach access.

Nestled in the dunes surrounding Monterey Bay, our beach house is easily accessible from the Bay Area, up and down the Golden State of California, and around the world. While there, explore the area- the celebrated Santa Cruz Boardwalk, Carmel by the Sea, Pebble Beach golf resorts, the 17-mile drive through Carmel, the famed Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Moss Landing’s Elkhorn Slough. Also blocks away is the famed Salinas Beach. Attractions in the area include Whale watching, sailing, kayaking, fishing, bird watching, cafes, and of course, beach walks. Monterey Bay is home to sea otters, dolphins, seals, sea lions, and a bird sanctuary. On lucky days, you might spot otters, seals, owls, and even whales along the shore. We have.

Our beach house is on one single-level and can accommodate up to 5 guests(4 adults)- two bedrooms (one king bed plus two twin beds), two bathrooms, a light-drenched living room with a dining area, and a kitchen. The ocean views from living room’s large windows are simply breathtaking and the direct path to the beach right from the patio is totally awesome. Go direct from patio to the beach! On your barefoot! Open the living sliding sliding door, step into the patio, and be awed by the stunning ocean. We are on the Monterey Bay, midpoint between Santa Cruz to the right and Monterey to the left. Lay before you is California sky, ocean waves, sandy beaches, and amazing sand dunes. Set your gaze at the horizon where ocean meets the sky, the crashing waves and striking ocean sounds are soul soothing yet thrilling. Step down from the patio and follow the boardwalk through the dunes to arrive at the beach. Soak in the ocean sounds and salty air, this coastline is all yours to enjoy. When the night falls, remember to gaze at the starry night sky. Spectacular and chaotic. Coming round from the ocean side, enjoy a BBQ in the quiet and private court yard ideal for schmoozing and entertaining.

We are inside a gated Monterey Dunes Colony community with many amenities and onsite staffs. Community amenities, located in the clubhouse area, are operated and maintained by the HOA and made available to guests pending seasonal availability and weather permitting. Popular amenities include hot tub, pool, pickle balls, and tennis court. Please note the outdoor swimming pool is open approximately from Easter to mid-October. Travelers are encouraged to discuss with host regarding the use of common area facilities and operation hours.

Nightly rates are posted below. A minimum of two-night stay required.

House rules, HOA rules, State and Coastal Commissions rules must be observed at all times and will be provided at the time of inquiry. Booking accepted upon acknowledgment of receipt of rules book. All guests are expected to follow all rules set forth. Any fines resulted from rule violations will be charged to travelers.

Peaceful stay by the ocean
Perfect condo right by the beach - maybe 50 steps from the patio to the sand. The dunes are beautiful. We stayed during the work week, so there were almost no other humans there, but lots of birds: pelicans, sandpipers, and others I couldn't identify :) The owner is very friendly and fast to respond to messages.

Labor Day Getaway!
We had a wonderful weekend at the beach for a much needed family Labor Day getaway. The home is well appointed with all that you need to make memories. The beachfront location cannot be beat - our boys spent hours boogie boarding in the surf. After an epic day in the sun, we retreated to find that the home was warm, inviting and comfortable to cook a family dinner, play games and watch movies. We found the hosts to be very communicative, and attentive to our needs. We cannot wait to return :)

This condo is perfectly situated in the center of Monterey Bay and an amazing location for us (traveling from San Francisco to Big Sur). We enjoyed whale watching very close by - Fast Raft departed from Moss Landing just a few minutes drive. Also, since this condo is amongst several artichoke farms we enjoyed steamed and fried artichokes at The Whole Enchilada (highly recommend a visit there too). Nearby Power Plant Cafe was delightful for a morning cappuccino. The hosts photos are VERY accurate of the rental. The beach access could not have been any better and the accommodations were great.

Pleasant location, beautiful view
Family had a great time. Location is beautiful. Beaches better in the morning, very windy in afternoons. Lots of nice amenities; used grill for cooking every day. Host was very responsive to any issues that came up throughout visit and when we left some stuff behind by accident was kind enough to send back to us and did so without charging. Would recommend.

Beauty all around...
What a lovely place! Amy is very kind and helpful. The view is so breathtaking, and the home has great energy. It was so nice to get out of the heat where we live and spend time so close to the ocean. Our kids think being able to walk out the door and walk right up to the beach is like magic. This is an excellent spot for families, and we hope to be back.

Peaceful Getaway
The Beach House was a perfect, peaceful place to relax for a few days. The calming atmosphere and incredible views, along with the absolute tranquility made this a spot my 3 children (2 teens) and I vowed to return to. Amy is a wonderful host and the home is fully stocked with anything you could possibly need. Rarely do we want to return to the same place but this is the exception. Cannot wait to come back someday soon.

Moss Landing Review
Wonderful, quiet location. House located right on the beach, allowing direct views and access to the ocean. Saw dolphins, wales and scores of sand dollars! The beach house had great space and furnishings, and the kitchen was well-stocked. It would be nice if the smaller bedroom had a bureau for the clothes, and the beds in the second bedroom were small for adults and uncomfortable.

Memorable Birthday Weekend
This condo was beautifully appointed. And the location was a short drive to Carmel and Monterey. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves. It was a great place to have a quiet romantic and very private stay. Would definitely book again!

Quiet “private” beach location away from crowds
We were looking for a quiet family retreat on the beach away from crowds and oh boy did we find it. This property is located footsteps from the sand and your own “private” beach. Only seldom did you see other people on the beach. It’s a location that is calming and rejuvenating. The kitchen is well stocked. There’s tennis, basketball, pickleball courts and a pool and jacuzzi. We used the pickleball court every day and the jacuzzi, which was a short walk from the unit. We also spent a couple days in Monterey and Carmel which is a short 20 minute drive south. If you’re looking for peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle, this is the place.

This house is situated right behind the beach dunes and has a very relaxing vibe, and it is a great way to experience the California coast. It is very laid back and a great place to unwind. Checking in is very simple and easy to get in and out. The nearby restaurants are casual and delicious. Extra points if you like artichokes.

Close to the hustle and bustle, restaurants, and shops of Monterey, Pacific Grove, and Carmel, but worlds away in feel. A relaxing home by the sea with great views and ocean sounds - perfect for relaxing walks on the beach or reading a book on the deck. Special acknowledgement for a well-equipped kitchen you actually will enjoy using. Thanks again!
