Great location, relaxing time

Stayed here while visiting the Monterey Aquarium. We were originally planning on staying right in Monterey or Pacific Grove but so glad we found this property. Just a great location. Quiet relaxing time by the ocean. Nice that it is in a gated community with not a lot of traffic. Will definitely go back next time we visit Monterey.

Nice view, but...

The Host is great! John responded quickly and with humor when we had trouble unlocking the door. However, the overall experience was disappointing. The accommodations are dull and uncomfortable. Not enough comfortable, family-friendly seating in the main room. Beds are okay but creaky and unstable. The headboards constantly banged against the wall, and when we would turn over, it would wake us up. No one slept well…except the one person who slept alone in the king bed! We were asked to take out the trash, but the trash can was half full and smelly. Some dishes were put away unclean.We stayed here for a weekend in mid-December. We were surprised how close all units are connected. Luckily, we had no neighbors, so we had some privacy. We would not recommend this property to a family. The whole operation was a bit slipshod.

Artichoke capitol of the world

The view of the beach with the seals playing in the waves was wonderful and walking the beach collecting sea glass was awesome! The owners were wonderful communicating with us especially when an earthquake and tsunami warning occurred! Aside from all of this, I think the owners need to up their house presentation and hospitality. Grey, discolored towels, greasy, old pots and pans, dirty, non-working soap dispensers and lack of basics like sponges to clean counters or dust and cobwebs and old food in couch cushions really disappointed us! This could be a wonderful place to experience and appreciate the beauty of the Monterey Coast if only the house lived up to it's hype!!

Great views

This home was perfect for our get together with longtime friends. The beach location was wonderful and we enjoyed the beautiful sunsets. It’s a condo unit towards the back of the property and we were able to negotiate the road in the dark. I had trouble with the access code, user error no doubt but the owner checked to ensure we were in. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. I would recommend this comfortable, nice home on the beach!

A mixed review

This is a very big place ( 3 full bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms) probably could be great for a family or even up to three couples. It’s right on the beach and there are great views and sunsets! Some of the bathrooms had been nicely updated as well. Unfortunately we had to rate it lower because there were things like carpeting and walls that were dirty and needed cleaning. In addition there were some things that needed updating too like kitchen cabinets.

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.

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.

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).
