It was spacious and comfortable. The beds were fantastic. I have found that most rental home mattresses are not comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The outdoor patio with hot tub was a lovely spot. It also has a great courtyard with large table for dinner. Alison was always prompt with any issues that came up.

We ate out quite a bit in the evening then played board games and sat in the hot tub. During the day we went whale watching, kayaked with the otters, and played basketball, tennis, and pickleball. We loved the house and the setting, and communication with Alison was easy and delightful. Highly recommend. ##### Trena K.

Alison was a pleasure to deal with. She was very responsive from the get go. The morning of my arrival day, she had sent me a message saying that the house was cleaned and ready for my friends and I to check-in at 10am even though check-in wasn't supposed to be until 3pm. I mean talk about being proactive to have a happy renter! Once my friends and I arrived at the beach home and entered into the residence; we were wowed by how nice of a place Alison had. From the decoration to how nice everything was set up. It was comfortable and had a great homey feel to it. When I had questions or concerns and I sent Alison a message, she would respond in a very timely manner! Talk about great communication! The VIEW! OMG! Every morning was just as amazing as the day before! I would definitely recommend this location. A coffee in the early mornings in the dining room or living room is just so amazing and beautiful. This place is amazing. (If you couldn't tell, I like this spot). This is a beautiful location to just reset from the world! This spot is probably 50 yards to get to the ocean! Location is amazing as well. Close to both Santa Cruz and Monterey so take your pick of which cities you want to visit for food! This visit was with friends but next time, I can't wait to bring my family! I will definitely be renting this place again! Thank you Alison for being such a great host! ##### Lawrence C.

Over that time, we have enjoyed some beautiful properties. This property, however, is by far the nicest and most well kept we have enjoyed. My youngest daughters 16th birthday was the event to celebrate and this home did not disappoint. Well taken care of, clean, comfortable and cozy. Perfect for my kiddo and a few of her friends. Not a single thing I would change about the "Monterey Hideaway". If you have the chance to stay here, take it. This is the gold standard for the Dunes. The host was amazing and communicated perfectly. Zero troubles and all fun. 5 stars and 100% positive. What an amazing place. ##### Mike H.

This home was perfect for us. Three bedrooms with King Size beds and lots of additional sleeping space. The sliding doors basically open right to the beach. We watched dolphins playing in the surf from the family room picture window. The check-in process was super easy and the hosts were right on-top of communication. We would come here again in a heartbeat. ##### Lori B. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marylee C.

Alison’s home is the quintessential restful retreat. It’s tastefully decorated, and has every amenity you could think of for fun and relaxation. The weather was perfect, surrounding areas fun to explore and the accommodations most delightful ##### Marylee C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### anne j.
