Welcome to Monterey Hideaway, our remodeled oceanfront home in the private, gated Monterey Dunes Colony. Just a 30-second boardwalk stroll brings you to miles of peaceful, uncrowded beach. Perched above the dunes, the living and dining rooms offer panoramic ocean views and stunning sunsets. Watch for whales from the window seat, soak in the private hot tub, and drift off to the soothing sound of the waves.

Perfect for family gatherings or three couples, our home features three private king suites with ensuite bathrooms, a bonus loft, and spaces thoughtfully designed for relaxing together while still enjoying privacy.

THE PROPERTY

Monterey Hideaway's split-level design was created around its breathtaking oceanfront setting. The main living and dining areas are elevated above the dunes, allowing everyone to enjoy panoramic ocean views, spectacular sunsets, and wildlife watching from the window seat. Several short flights of stairs connect the home's living spaces and bedrooms, creating a layout that feels both open and private.

OCCUPANCY
- Sleeps 7 (including infants and children, per strict Monterey Dunes HOA rules)
- Hosts up to 10 during the day (up to 3 additional daytime visitors are permitted and must be registered with security in advance)

SAFETY

Monterey Dunes Colony is a private, gated community with monitored vehicle access and a peaceful, low-traffic setting. The community was thoughtfully designed to preserve ocean views while creating a sense of seclusion, with fenced courtyards, homes carefully positioned to minimize direct sight lines into neighboring homes, and boardwalks connecting the homes, beach, and recreation center. Once you're inside the gates, everything is just a short walk away, so there's rarely a need to get back in the car. The result is a quiet, secluded retreat that feels a world away from traffic and crowds.

DISCLOSURE

A Wi-Fi video doorbell records the front entry and courtyard entrance. Exterior areas only—there are no cameras inside the home or in private outdoor spaces.
