Monterey Dune Haven

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Welcome to Monterey Dune Haven, your secluded hideaway for a never-to-be-forgotten vacation! Nestled on the Monterey Peninsula, this luxurious retreat sits amongst 120 individually-owned homes, stretched over a mile of colorful, sandy beachfront. The area is known for its hundreds of festivals, tournaments, shows, races, and tours - making it a perfect destination for the whole family. Spend your days engaging in some playful competition on some of the world's finest golf courses, watching the whales from the home's back deck, and saying hello to the unique wildlife at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Additional hotspots nearby include Pebble Beach and Moss Landing's numerous antique shops.

When you aren't relishing the surf and the sand, collecting seashells, and watching the sea otters at play, head for the community's shared pool, tennis court, or volleyball court.

When a break from the sun is warranted, head inside the luxurious interior of Monterey Dune Haven. Here, the living is full of light, adorned with high-end furnishings, and decked with modern amenities. Floor-to-ceiling windows highlight the expansive living room with a large TV, ample seating, and beautiful artwork. The adjacent gourmet kitchen radiantly gleams with its granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and center island. When mealtime rolls around, family-style meals can be indulged in at the large formal dining table.

Comfort is in abundance in each of the four bedrooms. Well decorated with subtle hints of nautical living, the bedrooms offer soft linens, private TVs, and plentiful storage space. Additional interior perks include a separate washer/dryer, a fireplace, an EV charger, and internet access.

As the waves crash, fire up the provided gas grill on the patio and host a sweet summer barbecue. Also, outside, you'll find a pleasant seating area and a firepit.

Perfect in Every Way

This house was beautifully set up with such a spectacular and magical view. Quick walk to quiet and expansive ocean. Short walk to pool and activity complex. We were two families with 4 kids ages 6-9. Each family member, adult and child had an incredible time and we barely left the complex.

Needs updating

Third trip to this beautiful and peaceful community. First time to this unit with a larger group, but will not be returning. Bedrooms were very nice, beds comfortable. Kitchen, living, and dining spaces good for cooking and being together. Ugly sofa and wobbly breakfast table in desperate need of replacing. Lighting too bright and cold, so little warmth in these spaces at night. Kitchen appliances are low end. Had to shut off ice maker and make a trip to the store for bag of ice because ice cubes continuously tumbled out onto the floor. Pots and pans are inadequate. Broken handles on some. Knives are a joke. Low end and very dull, making them dangerous to use. Like pots and pans, some of the handles are also broken, wobbly, and unusable. Had to make another trip to a dollar store to buy new knives. For the price charged for this unit, they should have better accommodations. We will be staying elsewhere next time.

Amazing Views

This house is just beautiful. The views from the two story windows to the furnishings. The beds are comfortable and everything was clean. You can walk to the beach from your back door in minutes. The children ages 1-16 had fun at the beach and playing basketball/pickleball at the clubhouse. The clubhouse is a 15 minute walk away. Getting to the aquarium is a 25 minute drive and pebble beach is 30. The only minor troubles we had were getting the tvs to work (needed new batteries) and there were only 6 towels and 2 beach towels for 8 people. Pack some extras and you are set. We would totally stay here again. It was such a fun family home.

Overall it's a nice unit

I have been to the dunes many times since the 90s. This unit was recently upgraded. It looks great and is very clean. My only complaint was that the cleaning crew was still finishing cleaning when we arrived at our check-in time and we had to wait an hour and fifteen minutes before they were done. Also, the water dispenser on the fridge is on the fritz.

Great location right on the beach, relaxing time. House is beautiful.

Very great experience. Wonderful house! Everything you need is there and a short walk to the beach. We utilized tennis court and pool area. Loved how serene everything was and just well managed.

This Home is Amazing

Had a great experience with the home. Getting into the gated community was easy and smooth, the guard at the front gate was so friendly and helpful. Kitchen was furnished with plenty of utensils and plates. Bedrooms had blankets and sheets and super comfy throw blankets. Plenty of towels for bathrooms as well. Internet was fast and never lagged. The home had plenty of room for our group of 9. The living room are was spacious and had an amazing view of the beach. Beach access was directly behind the house. Loved sitting on the porch to watch the sunset in the evening. Renting this home was the perfect way to spend the holiday.

Wonderful Stay

The house is exactly as it appears in the photographs. The beds were very comfortable. Everything that you need for a great stay is in the house. The only negative we have is that it was a little pricey for the length of stay we had.
