Ocean Front. Beach Front. Sandy Beach- Dream Get Away by The Ocean
From our guests: Our guests love us and here’s what they are telling us: “There is no substitute for being able to walk barefoot from your rental to the beach…..” Laurel M., April 2022
The ocean is calling and we invite you to the old-fashioned pleasures of sand, sun, and ocean waves.
Situated on the coast of northern California featuring miles of beaches, our beach front and ocean front home is on the beach ideal for unwind, romantic getaways, adventures, leisure, family retreats, or a simple pleasure of return to the nature. Offer year-round unique vacations, we have created a rustic-chic hide-away in the dunes that provides comfortable accommodations with spectacular ocean views and direct beach access.
Nestled in the dunes surrounding Monterey Bay, our beach house is easily accessible from the Bay Area, up and down the Golden State of California, and around the world. While there, explore the area- the celebrated Santa Cruz Boardwalk, Carmel by the Sea, Pebble Beach golf resorts, the 17-mile drive through Carmel, the famed Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Moss Landing’s Elkhorn Slough. Also blocks away is the famed Salinas Beach. Attractions in the area include Whale watching, sailing, kayaking, fishing, bird watching, cafes, and of course, beach walks. Monterey Bay is home to sea otters, dolphins, seals, sea lions, and a bird sanctuary. On lucky days, you might spot otters, seals, owls, and even whales along the shore. We have.
Our beach house is on one single-level and can accommodate up to 5 guests(4 adults)- two bedrooms (one king bed plus two twin beds), two bathrooms, a light-drenched living room with a dining area, and a kitchen. The ocean views from living room’s large windows are simply breathtaking and the direct path to the beach right from the patio is totally awesome. Go direct from patio to the beach! On your barefoot! Open the living sliding sliding door, step into the patio, and be awed by the stunning ocean. We are on the Monterey Bay, midpoint between Santa Cruz to the right and Monterey to the left. Lay before you is California sky, ocean waves, sandy beaches, and amazing sand dunes. Set your gaze at the horizon where ocean meets the sky, the crashing waves and striking ocean sounds are soul soothing yet thrilling. Step down from the patio and follow the boardwalk through the dunes to arrive at the beach. Soak in the ocean sounds and salty air, this coastline is all yours to enjoy. When the night falls, remember to gaze at the starry night sky. Spectacular and chaotic. Coming round from the ocean side, enjoy a BBQ in the quiet and private court yard ideal for schmoozing and entertaining.
We are inside a gated Monterey Dunes Colony community with many amenities and onsite staffs. Community amenities, located in the clubhouse area, are operated and maintained by the HOA and made available to guests pending seasonal availability and weather permitting. Popular amenities include hot tub, pool, pickle balls, and tennis court. Please note the outdoor swimming pool is open approximately from Easter to mid-October.

Great location for car week. Close enough to everything but secluded enough to get away from the craziness. The house was comfortable and relaxing. The host was great to work with and very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again
Just a short stay but still enjoyed the property and the beach/dunes.

My family of 4 stayed here over Thanksgiving break, and we had a great time. It was wonderful to wake up and just walk out onto the beach. We saw groups of sea lions swimming and playing in the surf every day, and the beach was very clean and peaceful. We had everything we needed in the house. Thank you!

We had such a lovely time at this property. In addition to being beachfront, this gated community also has a clubhouse with tennis courts and a heated pool. A perfect place to vacation. Also a short drive to Elkhorn Slough for kayaking and plenty of restaurants and fruit stands within 2-5 miles. We hope to return.

This condo was beautifully appointed. And the location was a short drive to Carmel and Monterey. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves. It was a great place to have a quiet romantic and very private stay. Would definitely book again!

Hello Patricia: So nice of your kinds words about our beach house. Really happy to hear you got around to explore those quaint and charming towns around. Carmel and Monterey have so much to offer in their spectacular natural beauty and fine dining. And isn’t it sweet to have the beach all to yourself for a romantic getaway! We truly hope we will have you come for a return visit. Yours, Amy
The house had some cobwebs on the ceiling in areas, but overall it was a great little place with an awesome view. The bedding was cozy my only ask is for a cozy couch vs. wicker chairs as furniture.

Hi William-
Thank you for the positive feedback on the awesome views, one of the most prized attractions for our weekend getaway guests. Sorry the cobwebs didn’t help. We will do our part to keep them In check. Glad you could relax on the bedding and will definitely add a comfy chair on my shopping list. Hope you’ll return for another visit. Your host, -Amy
Such a fun time with the kids! There is no substitute for being able to walk barefoot from your rental to the beach. The house was impressively clean, and had everything we needed.

About the host
Hosted by Amy Sung
My husband and I work in the Bay Area and love the fresh air, blue sky, and the sweet clean water. He enjoys hiking and I much prefer the water. We always want a small beach hideout that is right by the water where we can spend the whole day doing nothing but ocean stuff. We bought the beach house first sight in love and have been so happy and enjoy every bit of this beautiful ocean views, waves, sounds and all things ocean! When I am not hanging out at beach, I help people buy and sell their homes. If you are thinking about buying in the Bay Area, give me a call and let's talk.
Why they chose this property
When we first walked into this home, we know this is it. it's exactly the small beach hideout that we have been looking for and this beauty is only an hour's drive from the Bay Area. The home is within a secluded Monterey Dunes Colony with onsite security and services. It's a great place for a weekend getaway and perfect for entertaining and for families to get together. We have been so happy with this house and enjoy the the beach enormously.
What makes this property unique
We can spend the entire day staring at the ocean and never get tired of it. Not to mention the direct access from our front porch to the sandy beach. The beach is super private and quiet. I can sip my morning coffee on the patio watching the gentle waves washing off the beach and walk on the sandy beach bare foot. My favorite beach find is Sand Dollars. And the spotting of Whales, Dolphins, Seals, and all sorts of birds are just super thrilling. This Fall, we spotted Wales swimming close to share. We also captured a great horned owl on camera when it rested on the next door's chimney top. Very exciting.
