The view is awesome; we had the beach to ourselves, and the spacious accommodations were clean and comfortable.A couple of items were in need of repair. The back slider didn't lock until we cleaned out the rust and got the latch to open and engage. There was no blind on the largest window in the primary bedroom which meant waking up with the sun and the knob was missing on the heater in the primary bathroom.I'd very much like to visit more often as it's a wonderful place, just wish the fees and taxes weren't more than the rent! ##### Doreen J.

Still had a blast.

We booked this house due to its location as we were taking in the sites from Santa Cruz down to Big Sur this place was right in the middle. even though the weather was not the best we were still able to do everything we wanted including walking on the beach in the mornings. Would recommend this house to everyone and maybe someday we can come back. I also loved the fact that your organization checked in with us to make sure we were OK and if we needed anything. To me that is great customer service most places you never hear from anyone. Sharon ##### Sharon F.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We very much enjoyed our stay at the Sand Dollar House. The location is wonderful with fabulous sea views, right on the sand dunes near the beach. Sanctuary Vacation Rentals were very professional, and we appreciated the welcomed gifts of wine and cheese and crackers. The property was very clean and well equipped, including coffee and popcorn. The houses in this development are all older style homes and are showing their age to some degree. The master bedroom has an opening to the living room below which can be a disadvantage; any noise or light from the downstairs area will be noticed.Overall though, we would definitely recommend this home for a stay at the beach. ##### Terry P. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stefanie P. 16 Jun 2024 #### You will not beat the view and beach access Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view from this property is absolutely phenomenal. Sipping wine as the sun sets and birds fly over? Very very hard to beat. Paired with easy access to the pristine beach, this is a great landing zone for people wishing to explore the area--or not. You'd be well entertained just staying in and watching the ocean. However, this property is definitely showing its age; hot water runs out if two people shower at once, and both shower faucets are extremely finicky. (As in like, breathe on it in one direction and you go from cold to fire about 60 seconds later). However, if you're here to appreciate the natural beauty of the area, you'll not mind these issues and just soak in the beauty--cheers to the landscaper too! ##### Stefanie P. ### 8/10 Good #### Heidi S. 2 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Beautiful location and views I highly recommend a stay at Monterey Dunes. It is peaceful and beautiful and a wonderful place to get away and recharge. This house had everything we needed. The kitchen and bathrooms were dated, but it was spacious and comfortable. The mattresses were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The view is amazing, especially from the master bedroom. You can watch the breaking waves while lying in bed. It was comfortable for our party of 6\. The clubhouse has tennis, basketball, pickleball, and bocce ball courts, a pool and a hot tub. The beach is spectacular for walks. My only complaint was the property manager's communication about early check-in and late check-out. Check-in was a 4pm and check-out was 10am. When I asked for early check in I was given the run-around for weeks. They kept telling me to ask later. I asked a few days before (when they should have known their schedule) and they said ask in the afternoon the day before our stay. I did that and they said they weren't sure but ask 30 minutes before check-in. I live two hours away so that was ridiculous. I also asked if we could check-out at 11am and was told we couldn't 10:30 was the latest we could stay, even though they said the next guests weren't coming until the next day. Not very customer friendly in their accommodating, although they sent multiple emails, texts, and even called me to see how things were. ##### Heidi S.
