We loved our stay in the Monterey Dunes. The house that we had was beautiful with all the latest furnishings and decor just like a model home. There was lots of room for all 7 of us. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with a multitude of the latest pans, dishes, cutlery, and even spices, paper towels, etc. Our view from the living room and several of the bedrooms was outstanding. We could not have asked for more. We all enjoyed the heated pool which was only a short walk away. There were also tennis and basketball courts which the kids loved. The ocean was just steps way with all kinds of interesting birds, shells, and vegetation.All in all we had a very enjoyable stay in a very beautiful home.

Serene condo. It was the perfect spring break for my family of 6. We spent a lot of time walking along the beach and relaxing on the back patio watching the sunset. This is our return trip from 2021. Perfect destination to escape the business of everyday life

Beautiful property, house was exactly as described and better. Fully stocked with everything a kitchen would need to cook for families. Bathrooms were also stocked which was a great help. Owners were quick to communicate if needed. Location was absolutely lovely, the dunes are stunning, and the beach is incredible.

This is a gorgeous spot for a relaxing beach vacation. Beautiful house (it shares a wall with quiet neighbors) with bedrooms in three separate, private wings, each with their own bathrooms, with two bedrooms having knockout views of the beach, and well-stocked kitchen with everything you need (including good coffee, oil and vinegar etc.) and a welcoming family room. The house has a great barbecue grill and all the necessary beach stuff. The hosts responded to questions immediately and made the place really welcoming. The site is a private, quiet beach community with tennis courts, pickleball, basketball, a nice pool and a good hot tub. And the beach goes on for miles. And you are an easy drive to amazing coastal walks, a redwood grove, and Monterey and its famous aquarium. I went with three generations of family members, eight in all, and it worked well and we had a blast.

This place has everything. From beach and sunset with pool and sports courts to having every possible accessory needed as if it were your own home, this place had it all. Everything was spelled out and easy… didn’t need to contact the owner once during our entire stay. If coming back to Moss Landing, would definitely stay again.
