3823 Sand Dollar House - Ocean View Nightly Rental on Monterey Bay

Welcome to “Sand Dollar House”! Sleeps up to 7 guests. Spectacular views of the Monterey Bay and your own private boardwalk to the beach are among the very special features of this home in a gated community near the quaint fishing village of Moss Landing. The 3-bedroom, 3-bath condo features designer décor with a modern coastal vibe that fits perfectly into this setting, with an enclosed front courtyard that offers peace and privacy, as well as a back patio looking out upon the bay, where you can watch dolphins, whales and seagulls over the private beach and protected sand dune habitat. Ocean views from the main bedroom suite, living room and dining room let guests enjoy twinkling lights at night and the entire bay by day. Vaulted ceilings, large windows and outdoor seating areas at the front and back of the home let indoors and out flow together seamlessly. A private courtyard at the front of the home is an ideal gathering place for family and friends either for afternoon barbecues or evening socializing, with ample seating and a gourmet gas grill. Part of the Monterey Dunes Colony, the 1,680-square-foot condo is situated at the midpoint of the bay, with easy access to attractions on the Monterey Peninsula and in the Santa Cruz area. The complex is next to Salinas River State Beach, a favorite spot to walk, bird watch and take photos. Monterey and Santa Cruz are within a half hour’s drive, and just a bit further are the world-class golf courses and restaurants of Pebble Beach, the natural wonders of Big Sur, and wine tasting and dining in Carmel Valley Village. Upon your arrival, you will be greeted with complimentary cheese and wine or sparkling cider, wine tasting passes and a basket of local information. An assigned concierge vacation house manager is available to assist you during your stay. We have also provided beach towels, shower and bath amenities, and robes in the bathrooms.
