Beach Condo, 3 Bedrooms/2 Bath, Sleeps 9 Private Corner Patio Views of Dunes
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, 185 reviews
"We really enjoyed our stay here. The unit was spacious, well-appointed, and very private (thanks to its location in the last building in the development, which meant looking out only at the dunes & not other buildings). The kitchen had every pot and pan we needed, the pantry was nicely stocked, and the beds were supremely comfortable. Plus, the owners were very pro-active and communicative, both before and during our stay. All in all, a delightful visit!"

"Beautiful views of the ocean throughout the home. I enjoyed the endless walks on the beach and drifting off to the pounding of the waves. The home was well equipped with anything you needed for a peaceful beach escape. The children enjoyed fun in the sand and investigating all sorts of items the tide left behind. My only suggestion would be to bring a baby gate for the stairwell if traveling with toddlers under age 5. We were able to block access by moving the couch. This vacation home...

"This little bungalow was just perfect for our visit which was the graduation of my oldest grandson from CSUMB. There was ample space for the six of us to share a first night dinner together and great outdoor sitting areas when the sun shone. The bungalow was so well stocked with everything one would need. And the location was so favorable to enjoy Monterey and Carmel outings. Fabulous!"

"Joe was an excellent host and great communicator. Got an email from him early the day of check in that place was ready and we could check in early. The only issue I have is saying place is ocean view is a bit of a stretch. You can see the ocean on the horizon through the trees etc. There is no real view. You will be in your car to go to beach and restaurants as its beyond what most people would walk. Its 30 plus minutes to walk to beach and if you wanted a chair or cooler or any such thing its...
