BEACHFRONT Property with Room for Everyone

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful spot in an ideal location. We spent a week on a multi-generational birthday celebration. The crew included 3 little boys 6 and under. The place was perfect - lots of beach toys, well appointed kitchen, not a lot of easily breakable “stuff”. Gina was always (unobtrusively) available. Nice to be out if the way but with easy access to the Monterey Aquarium, Pacific Grove tidal pools, hikes through parks, amazing produce stands, swim able beaches (but with VERY cold water, this in late June). We had a great time."

Monterey Dunes 166 - Moss Landing Townhome - A Mile of Beachfront!

10/10 Excellent

"Monterrey Dunes 166 exceeded our expectations. The location was clean and very comfortable and although it is just minutes from the Monterey Peir, we decided to spend our time at our VRBO because it was so welcoming and comfortable to spend quality family time together. Spending the day by the ocean to celebrate our daughter's 16th birthday was an experience she will always remember. Will definitely consider rebooking for other special occasions."

3 Bedroom Ocean Front (sleeps 6)

10/10 Excellent

"This was absolutely perfect for our girls getaway weekend! The property is spacious and the view is breathtaking. Kitchen is very well stocked and enjoyable to cook in. Beds and linens were comfortable and clean. The pool and hot tub are a very short walk from the house, and were quiet, clean, and the water was a perfect temperature. We would love to come back next year!"

Blue Diamond@Monterey Dunes OCEANFRONT 3bed/3bath-sleeps 7 Monterey/Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed ocean view and sound of crashing waves all night long, especially upstairs. Quiet private neighborhood safe for children to walk next door to cousins or down to pickle and volleyball. Updated decor, very clean bathrooms, and well stocked kitchen with upgraded appliances. WIFI great. Closets stuffed with entertainment (BBQ, videos, games, sports and beach gear including towels). Front and back patios for relaxing and eating. Highly recommended for our weeklong family reunion (renting 4 houses for 28 people), but more personal than a 5 star resort. Worth the price. Host is very cordial and responds quickly. Not recommended if you can't climb stairs. Although there are two bedrooms on the ground floor, you must climb about 12 steps to the living room."

Monterey Dunes 144 - Moss Landing Townhome - A Mile of Beachfront!

8/10 Good

"This house was great for the 6 of us adults and 2 kids that stayed here. We had enough hot water for all of us to shower with the tankless water heater, and not have to shower in rotations, lol. The access to the beach from the home was perfect and it was great to be able to be that close with an outside hose by the back stairs to rinse off our feet before going into the house. The place was clean and inviting. It could use some maintenance/upkeep on some of the outside stuff. For example the screendoor on one of the ground floors had only half its screen door attached, so we didn't dare leave that sliding door open for too long due to bugs. The robot vacuum was handy for cleaning the floor for the most part, but It also would have been nice to have had a vacuum with a hose attachment to be able to suck the sand out of places like the dryer, etc. The pool and hot tub were great as well. We were able to see seals and fish right from the beach. Overall, this would be a place we would choose to stay at again."

28 Sec Walk to Beach: Steam shower, Lululemon Mirror, Power Outage-Free Living

10/10 Excellent

"The property was in a great location with beautiful views and easy access to the beach. The host was very responsive and provided everything you'd need to enjoy a beach vacation."
