Moss Landing, California
A piece of heaven on earth. One of the most memorable and peaceful vacations you'll experience. Away from traffic and large crowds. You'll feel like you're at a resort with all the amenities, including access to a pool, hot tub, tennis courts, golf driving net, bocce ball, basketball court, volleyball and so much more. The beach is only steps from your back decks, it will seem as if you're by yourselves on most days. Ocean views from the living, dining, kitchen and one of the master bedrooms.
The Monterey Dunes Colony is a gated community on the beach sitting between Monterey and Santa Cruz. Close to excellent restaurants, shopping, hiking and other outdoor activities. This house features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with beautiful ocean views and direct beach access. One of the master bedrooms, the main living area, dining and kitchen have beautiful views of Monterey Bay. You can watch dolphins, seals and whales from the comfort of the living room, dining area and outdoor decks. Beautiful sunsets are a daily occurrence. This house is ideal for a large family or 2 smaller families.
You have the entire house and also get to take advantage of the gated community amenities. The unit is split level with a vaulted ceiling in the main living area with lots of windows to take advantage of the ocean view. There are 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. One of the master bedrooms has a king size bed with a beautiful ocean view with an attached full bathroom with a shower. There is a deck just outside this master bedroom. The other master bedroom has a queen size bed with an attached full bathroom with a tub/shower. The third bedroom is on the same level as the living area with a double bed and a twin/single bed. The third bathroom has a tub/shower and is between the upstairs bedroom and the living area.
The kitchen is stocked with dishes, glasses, utensils, pots, and pans etc. There is a large refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, garbage disposal, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, and toaster. Enjoy eating your meals either indoors or outdoors on the patio dining set. We also have a full size washer and dryer. There is a TV in the main living area and in one of the master bedrooms with local channels available. We have Wifi set up, but because of the secluded location on the Dunes, it can be spotty at times. The Dunes has a Club with a pool which is open April to October, tennis courts, basketball hoop, bocce ball and golf nets. We can only host 7 people at one time INCLUDING INFANTS (the HOA has very strict rules). We get fined $150/night per person over 7 and will be assessed to your stay, should a violation occur. Also no smoking will be tolerated. While we love pets, we cannot allow guests to bring their own animals as the HOA does not allow it. There is a fine of $400/animal that will be assessed to your stay and the animal must be removed immediately. There is an additional cost per night of 10.5 % Monterey county tax and $33/night paid to Monterey Dunes Colony HOA.
Very nice house and a beautiful sunset views on the beach.
Gorgeous location, with great views from living, dining and master bedroom. It’s a beautiful quiet beach with amazing sunsets, birds and very few people. House is roomy and comfortable, decor is beach house vibe. We had a lovely time and it was a great location to access Moss Landing for whale watching and great coffee/cafe and also Carmel and Monterey. Would definitely consider staying again. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Only improvements suggested - Kitchen implements need some attention - at least one sharp knife or a knife sharpener, the nonstick pans need to be replaced and the dishwasher is ancient and does not clean well. Also several of the door hinges need WD 40 esp. the master bath.
Monterey Dunes is a gem along the beach, and the beach holds the magic. The apartment was well equipped and convenient. The beds were comfortable and the location is tops.
Looking for a peaceful, relaxing stay? This place is it!! You may think with these being townhouses you might hear your neighbors but that is not the case. We only knew people were there due to their cars parked in the spot. Beach is a very short walk and private as well. We saw whales, dolphines, a seal, and even an otter. We also saw lots of cute bunnies around the vegetation. The house has everything you need for cooking and they even provided shampoo in the showers. They have beach towels if you decide to go to the pool for a swim. Very minimal rules and clean up procedures. Owner is very responsive and nice. We loved this location as it had the same privacy feeling for us coming from the sierra mountains. This will definitely be a future visit for us.
Pro's: friendly security at entrance, gated community, isolated community, beach to yourself, complimentary bottle of wine, 3 minute walk to beach, modern and clean furnishings, updated and light paint colors on walls and ceilings, ample silverware and dishes, coffee maker and filters, plenty of trash bags, liquid soap at every sink, shampoo and conditioner in each shower, beach towels for the beach, beautiful views of the ocean, new tv's, free wifi, all the appliances worked, including the laundry machines and dryer, and it was a very quiet area. Con's: fireplace was broken, outdated cabinets in kitchen and bathrooms, cabinets are not slow close (we all ended up slamming them on a regular basis), strong musty smell throughout the condo- had to leave windows open and place coffee beans in each room to absorb the odor.
Lovely house, great location. We enjoyed the beach
Used this property for a family get together, one of two units this weekend. Its a very nice beach front home. High recommend this property.
We had a wonderful time. Very serene. Thank you.
This is a great spot directly on the ocean. We were in Monterey after a family wedding and rented several units in Monterey Dunes Colony. We love this development! It's perfect for a low key getaway to explore all that Monterey, Carmel and the coast have to offer. The unit is exactly as it appears in the pictures. The common area space is perfect for lounging and taking in the AMAZING view from the living room windows and front deck. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We'll be back!
The location is excellent. The views incredible. The property had everything we needed. Two flights of stairs inside would have been good to know about before arrival.
Had a great time in Moss Landing
We really enjoyed out stay - our son was getting married in Monterey and my mother in law and daughter were able to stay with us - away from the crowds, but close enough to get to the events. House was clean and easily accessible. Kenneth was a wonderful host - it was a great stay
We loved our stay in Moss Landing. The house was clean and comfortable with excellent water views and everything we needed. Nice new pots and pans, good bedding and towels, plenty of hot water. A short drive to Monterey and easy beach access. Groceries convenient enough in Salinas. Worth the drive for the privacy and quiet beachfront.
Perfect for grown up family because it has three spacious bedrooms each with full bath and a large living room area. Short walk to beach from house. It would have been nice to have an outdoor table on the patio that has an ocean view instead of the table in the front yard that was covered and not usable. Very clean except two of the bathroom's had hair in tub area. We loved this house and want to return!
Pros: Secluded , beach to yourself, beautiful views, lots of beds/bedrooms/baths Cons: Three levels with lots of stairs but the sound is like all the rooms are in one room, smelled like wet dog when we arrived, no cable TV or movies to watch and we didn't know that we needed to bring adapters so that we could plug in our phones to the HDMI cable outlet , no beach toys to use, but they do have towels.
Large unit in great location overlooking the ocean.
The unit was clean and inviting. The sunsets and beach were spectacular.
My family and I enjoyed our stay. This property is at a great location.
I will definitely stay here again!!! The family room is amazing, it has two sofas and one is gigantic. Plenty of room for the whole family and with an awesome view. I would like a few upgrades. The stove/oven does not work well, it's old, at least one of the burners did not work and the oven runs hot. The pot and pans are way past their prime and unsafe. Most are non-stick pan and they are flaking off. We did not use them! next time we stay here if the pans are not replaced, I would just donate some from Walmart, their cheap.
Amazing view and short walk to the beach!
We've been coming to Monterey Dunes Colony for many years and have stayed in many different units. This property is very nice, but it really could use some updates. Some items didn't work (a stove burner, one of the bathtub stops), and the blinds were very dirty. That said, this is the best place for being by the beach, and there is lots to do in the area.
You cannot beat the location with the beach in your backyard!
