About this property

Dunes Beach Haven: Amazing Ocean Front Home

Summary:
Welcome to our Monterey Dunes Beach Haven!!

Within minutes to Carmel by the Sea, Monterey or Santa Cruz County this is the perfect location to explore everything the Monterey Bay area has to offer.

We hope you will enjoy this fantastic Ocean Front View three (3) bedroom, three (3) full bath, 1665 square foot Townhouse.

The Space:
This townhouses has unobstructed views straight out to the Pacific Ocean. Open beam ceilings and large windows take advantage of the spectacular view.

This special residential townhouse is the perfect vacation getaway on the Monterey Bay and you will wish it was your everyday beach home.

Wake up to the sound of the ocean and end your day with a walk on the beach with beautiful sunsets right out your door.

HOA includes community pool, spa, tennis courts and a sport court. 

We're sorry, you may not bring your adorable pets to this home. This includes service animals as the owners are highly allergic to animals. Anyone found bringing animals into the home will incur an additional $10,000 fee for the stringent cleaning required to make the home habitable again for the property owners.

The Neighborhood:
The Monterey Peninsula is different than any other part of California. Here, time slows, the architecture is humble (with the exception of the homes in Pebble Beach), and the lifestyle is the perfect synthesis of SoCal laid back and NorCal sophisticated. On the northern side of the peninsula, the town of Monterey draws most of the tourists, while farther south, Carmel-by-the-Sea lures the easygoing wealthy set. Tremendous price tags on real estate helps maintain the small-community atmosphere along Monterey's jaw-dropping coastline.

This area makes for a tremendous road-trip stop or romantic weekend stay. And did we mention the golf courses? This stretch of the California coastline boasts some of the most coveted fairways in the world. Add to than an abundance of natural wonders, luxury resorts and seafood restaurants, and Monterey might just be the ideal destination for your next getaway.

Wonderful views!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home in the perfect location! A short easy walk to the beach and right by the clubhouse as well. The house was well stocked for our stay, the bedrooms were spacious, and we especially loved the rain shower head in the master bathroom. I was a little surprised to see that we were originally told we must go to sign documents and pick up keys all the way in Monterey first, but we ended up not needing to do that, which made it great to go directly to the property after a long day of travel. The wine and chocolates were a nice touch that we appreciated. We made wonderful memories and we would definitely stay here again in the future.

Great location for a getaway

I spent a few days here with my parents and ten-year-old son. The views from the house are amazing, and we saw some sea lions playing in the waves. The beds and living room furniture are all extremely comfortable, and it has everything you would want in a vacation house. We would certainly come back!

Family time

Six adult cousins & spouses gathered folllowing the Celebration of one who left us too soon. The property was lovely - very modern & relaxing. We enjoyed visiting the Monterey/Pebble Beach/Carmel area a short drive away. Our only complaint was the jets in the hot tub refused to come on. Other than that, a wonderful visit.

We had a lovely weekend away. Very nice place with the most magnificent view. Although the weather changed a lot there was lots to do in the area and just hiking on the beach was great. Looking forward to staying there again.

Unforgettable Memories @ the Beach

We have rented many homes on the beach and this one is by far our favorite. It is perfectly located only steps from the secluded waves which is the perfect backdrop to sip your morning coffee or cheers with a glass of wine at sunset. The sand + surf kept our children (including teenagers) busy ALL DAY, and when we were ready to rest, the home was well appointed (and super clean) to make family dinners, play board games and watch movies TOGETHER. The property manager was so friendly, communicative and attentive to all of our needs and questions. Needless to say the memories we made were unforgettable, and we can't wait to return!

Wonderful beach getaway!

What a lovely decorated home right on the beach! Cooked lots of meals in the well stocked kitchen. Enjoyed fires in the fireplace with duraflame logs provided. Nearby we kayaked on Elkhorn Slough and ate lunch at Sea Harvest. We so thoroughly enjoyed how comfortable the home was even to just hangout on the back deck enjoying the sound of the waves hitting the shore.

Fantastic Family Vacation

The property was just what we were looking for to celebrate my mother’s 60th birthday. It was clean, updated, comfortable and you can’t beat the location. Close enough to Monterey and Carmel for a day trip but our favorite day was spent at the house and the beach out the back door. The property manager was fantastic and super responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend!

Great and relaxing condo

This is our second stay this year. We love the location and this unit has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The decor is great for a beach house and super comfortable. Our only suggestion is to maybe add some brighter lighting inside as it felt a bit too dark during the day. Our stay happened to overlap with foggy weather which was a factor.

Looked for sunshine

Our little group of friends enjoyed our time immensely! Location is great! Views for miles! All around good time. Some observations to get to a 5 star rating: 2/3 showers ran slow, door look was a challenge to use at times, couches could be more comfortable for older people, and primary suit bed was a bit lumpy. Again, we really enjoyed our stay! Will be back again!

Private oasis on the ocean

We spent a week enjoying the sound of waves crashing and beautiful views from our townhome. Quiet walks on the beach and family time were a highlight! Beach Haven was so beautiful! We absolutely loved everything about this property. We did day trips to Monterey, Carmel and Santa Cruz. We hiked, we loved point Lobos Nature Reserve. Gorgeous cliff walks on the ocean. We spent a couple days just relaxing at the property! Morning and evening walks on the beach, sleeping to the waves crashing, hot tubbing at night in our private hot tub, swimming in pool, pickleball, reading on the deck, and the list goes on! We loved the remote feel and the cool weather! It was so perfect! A week of true relaxation and fun! Thank you!
