Spacious Ocean Front Beach House on Beautiful Monterey Bay

Welcome to your home away from home with an ocean view! Ours is a 3-bedroom, 3 full bathroom, two story, ocean front condo located on the dunes, just steps down the path to your own private beach! Enjoy sunsets, sea life and white water surf from the family room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom.

We have worked hard to make this property a comforting welcome to the beach with technical conveniences, including keyless entry, smart TV's in all rooms, and a Google Home device for music or information on demand in the kitchen. We also now feature Starlink satellite service for high speed internet access! A visit to the beach no longer has to make a visit to the internet difficult!

Bedrooms invite you to relax on memory foam mattresses and remodeled bathrooms boast modern amenities with natural stone and Italian porcelain tile, an in-wall toilet, rain shower-head and barn door entry.

The living room touts a wall-mounted flat screen TV and service throughout the house includes streaming media players with access to Netflix, Pandora, HULU, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and other popular services, with standard TV service provided by YouTubeTV.

The downstairs bedroom sports a unique surprise for the kids and kids-at-heart with a cocktail-style arcade cabinet, featuring Pac-Man and 59 other digital distractions you might remember from the dawn of the video game era. Our fully stocked kitchen provides you with the essentials you need to get any meal on the table and the courtyard offers picnic seating with a grill for barbecuing (grilling supplies included!).

Condo was great and we enjoyed our stay. However, although the weather was pleasant it did get warm in the condo at night and there was no air or fans. We considered leaving a window open in the master BR but it didn’t have a screen.

Beautiful and Peaceful
The property was beautiful and the setting was so peaceful and serene. We were in for my son's wedding in Monterey and unfortunately the first few days we just needed a luggage depository, a place to clean up, change and sleep. The last day and 1/2 we were able to relax and enjoy the property. The climate/temperature was fantastic! The ocean breeze and the sound of the wave were the only sounds heard. My son and I decided it would have been the perfect place to live during the COVID lock down. The property was close enough to anything you might need or want to do, i.e. cannery row, Monterey Aquarium, but far enough out that you could truly relax. I would like to thank the owner's for sharing their piece of paradise!

Ahh the comforts of an ocean home
Oh my goodness did this place feel like home away from home! Great place to enjoy some time out of the hustle and bustle of daily city life. Thank you John and Lisa for sharing your beach home! The location was secluded, quiet, felt safe, had views of the ocean and the beach and ocean were just a few short steps away. The home was well stocked and really felt welcoming. Thanks again John & Lisa!

Peaceful Retreat
The house had very gorgeous views and worked out very well with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The house was cozy and comfortable even though it was very spacious. Me and my girlfriends had a lovely time here, it is in a remote area and I wish there was less fog so the visibility was better but the cool weather felt amazing visiting from Arizona.

Great location
Great location with a short walk to the sand. Easy drive to Monterey, and Castroville had lots of great places to eat. The security guards at the HOA were very nice and helpful. The property had all the amenities we expect of a vacation rental, which made packing easy and food prep simple.

Great location!!
Great location on a quiet/private beach. Such an amazing spot. The unit is a bit outdated in the master bath and carpeting upstairs. With that said, the owners DO seem to be working towards updates as the other 2 bathrooms had been renovated. Plenty of space to spread out for my family of 4. The teens loved the old school video game is the guest bedroom. Communication with the owners was exceptional. We had a small glitch and John responded right away and even answered a couple questions for us regarding visiting San Francisco. Overall, I would definitely visit again!!!

We loved the privacy and safety of the property. It's away from the hustle and bustle of the city and gives you a private beach area. We would just drive into Monterey daily for activities. The view from the condo is just outstanding. The condo itself is very roomy and has magnificent large windows. There's a great Thai Seafood restaurant not too far called Lemongrass. We appreciated the communication from the owners as well.

Peaceful ocean vibes
We stayed at Jon and Lisa‘s beautiful property in Monterey Dunes. The condo has beautiful views of the ocean, and a short walk gets you down to the beach. The amenities are on the left when drive onto the property. The pool, tennis courts, pickle ball, soccer, and bocce ball court kept us busy throughout our stay. Thank you for a beautiful peaceful trip!

Spacious property with beautiful views of the beach. Security entrance staff was warm and welcoming. The unit has all the amenities and comforts of home- pots, pans, dishes, cooking oil, dryer/washer and was pleasantly surprised they had a high chair for our 3 yr old. Comfy beds. The beach access is as awesome. Unfortunately the waves are pretty strong and I wouldn’t recommend a swim or having children to near the shore. Constructive feedback for owners/cleaning staff would be to please ensure sheets/linens are washed thoroughly. We all agreed it seemed like they were just slept in- traces of BO. Other than that- I’d still recommend the property for a quiet getaway in Castroville/Monterey Bay Area.

Beautiful Views
Beautiful views of the ocean and spacious condo in a quiet location. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, dishes and utensils. Condo could definitely use an update and needs a deep cleaning (windows, blinds, bathroom ceilings with orange/yellow dried up droplets, hair on bedsheets, by closet doors, and in the bathrooms, etc).
