Absolutely stunning location and beautiful home. Highly recommend this property. Very responsive owners, and everything you could need inside the home. Close to nice restaurants in Monterey and Carmel.
We thoroughly enjoyed a memorable birthday weekend with friends at Alison's condo in Monterey Dunes Colony. It was a perfect location---steps from the beach and within easy driving distance of Carmel. The accommodations were perfect for 3 couples and the condo itself was comfortable and inviting. Alison is a great hostess and answered all my questions/accommodated us as much as possible. Thank you!
Everything provided that you could imagine for a peaceful and great time at the Dunes.
Great little place with lots of peace & quiet - Amazing views and away from the crazy.
I was joined by 3 friends and we used Monterey Dunes as a base for attending events around the Pebble Beach car show and auction. It is right on the water with beautiful views and the sound of the ocean. The set-up and space worked perfectly. The house is exceptionally well stocked with everything you need.
This was an epic vacation and the perfect coastal location. The sunsets were beautiful and the home had so many amenities. If you like books, music, and movies, then this home offers something for everyone. So far, the best vacation beach home we have gone to, and the family already said they want to go to this one again, next year!
The Hideaway is the best...location, decor, ambience, communication. Can't go wrong here.
Alison was a pleasure to deal with. She was very responsive from the get go. The morning of my arrival day, she had sent me a message saying that the house was cleaned and ready for my friends and I to check-in at 10am even though check-in wasn't supposed to be until 3pm. I mean talk about being proactive to have a happy renter! Once my friends and I arrived at the beach home and entered into the residence; we were wowed by how nice of a place Alison had. From the decoration to how nice everything was set up. It was comfortable and had a great homey feel to it. When I had questions or concerns and I sent Alison a message, she would respond in a very timely manner! Talk about great communication! The VIEW! OMG! Every morning was just as amazing as the day before! I would definitely recommend this location. A coffee in the early mornings in the dining room or living room is just so amazing and beautiful. This place is amazing. (If you couldn't tell, I like this spot). This is a beautiful location to just reset from the world! This spot is probably 50 yards to get to the ocean! Location is amazing as well. Close to both Santa Cruz and Monterey so take your pick of which cities you want to visit for food! This visit was with friends but next time, I can't wait to bring my family! I will definitely be renting this place again! Thank you Alison for being such a great host!
seemed to be more updated than other units
BEAUTIFUL House with the most amazing view. Really made it a special weekend at the beach =D
House was as pictured. Nice, quiet, enjoyed sound of ocean and the view above the dunes. Comfortable beds. Only 1 TV which was a bummer but enjoyed the beach during the day. The beach access was awesome as we mostly had the beach to ourselves as it does not seem to be public access. The whole enchilada restaurant in Castroville was amazing and very close to the beach. Would def recommend.
We've stayed at the Monterey Dunes Colony a number of times, but this property is one of my favorites. The views are excellent, the layout is really convenient, and the house had all the amenities you'd need to have a great stay. Although it was pretty chilly during our stay (December), we were still able to utilize the hot tub which was a nice touch :) The loft up top was a big hit with my 6 year old. Alison was very communicative and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Alison's place to groups that need a lot of space to spread out. Thank you, Alison, for your hospitality :)
Modern inside. Well appointed. Very comfortable. Impressive glass collection for any type of drink. Ocean views are maximized. Window bench terrific.
Wow. Moss Landing is an absolute treasure. The house is so-well appointed and thoughtfully decorated, you feel as though you have walked into a movie. And it can be! Your movie dream vacation. The beach’s privacy is unparalleled — so much so when we went to other beaches down South near Monterey, we were confused by people just intruding our view. This made for a restful, cozy escape and I will long have fond memories of nights by the fire, listening to the waves roll in ?
Very cute and well organized! Lots of details left by owner on ideas for dinner and entertainment.
Lovely, peaceful setting… seabirds in flight, the relaxing sound of ocean waves. Sand dollars and jellyfish on the beach, surf fishing, so many sand crabs, protected dunes house nesting birds (and the occasional bunny!) Such a comfortable home with much appreciated added touches like a delicious bottle of wine to welcome us, spices in the kitchen, music and movies and books, hot tub, washer and dryer, garage parking. Easy communication with Alison who was so gracious and accommodating. We will be back!
Otherwise lovely stay in a well-equipped property. We especially love the two bonus rooms for the kids!
Our travel group of three couples thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Indoor and outdoor spaces provided options for sleeping, eating, reading, visiting, and game playing. Our favorite activities were wave watching and listening from the upper level living room. A true treasure!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Monterey Hideaway! It is exactly as pictured online. There were many activities for us to do (7 adults). We would love to stay again!
Great secluded place on a beautiful beach. Host was easy to work with. Would definitely stay again.
Very nice time away; cool summer days with almost nobody at the complex; community pool and jacuzzi and tennis courts almost ourselves. Great views and vibe.
What a lovey home! We visited with our five children and we had a wonderful time. From the basketball hoop to hot tub and the kids loft, the house was equipped with everything we needed. The kids loved the books and games, the ocean view and easy access to the beach, pool, etc. The house was clean, beds were very comfortable, the updates to the home were beautiful. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home, we’d love to come back in the future!
We stayed with our daughter, her husband and two young granddaughters as well as our adult son... the location, Floorplan, amenities & communication with the owner were phenomenal!! We will definitely be returning and possibly even with friends next time. I've referred this property to several friends and other family members already over and over again. Thank you again for opening your lovely beach home to our family to make wonderful memories we will cherish! This is by far our favorite vacation rental we've ever experienced. Love the seclusion, walks to the beach, and taking in the sunsets on the huge window bench and downstairs deck on the sofa chair and spa.
