We truly enjoyed our recent stay in Monterey Dunes. This home is quite lovely and has many nice amenities. The only negative critique we have is that the kitchen appliances need to be updated. We had some difficulty working the stove and microwave. Some of the decor and utilities of the home (E.g., linens, blankets, pillows, kitchen utensils, and fixtures) are pretty dated which we did not mind but it would be nice if the owners consider replacing several of these items over the next few years. The location is beautiful and super close to the beach. We highly recommend this location for a couple or small family needing to unwind and take a break from the hectic world for awhile. Also, not far form Santa Cruz or Downtown Monterey so lots to do close by.
