About this apartment rental

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Sanctuary in the Dunes"! Sleeps up to 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children age 12 and under.

Long Term Rates available - ask your Reservation Specialist for more details.

This ocean-side 1-bedroom 1-bath condominium nestles against the sand dunes on Del Monte beach in Monterey. From your living room and wraparound deck, enjoy a panorama of pelicans, otters, dolphins and vast shoreline views wrapping around the bay.

Sanctuary in the Dunes is a 880 square feet, end unit condominium located in the Ocean Harbor House complex on Del Monte Beach in Monterey. Within 5 minutes by car, you're at Monterey's Old Fisherman's Wharf, great restaurants, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, downtown Monterey, shops and nightlife that includes live music. Travel Highway 1 to Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pebble Beach® and Pacific Grove -- all only 15 minutes away. Highway 1 is also the route to Big Sur -- just 45 minutes away and one of the most scenic drives in the world.

If you're in the mood to walk, follow the nearby footpath nearby called the Regional Beach Trail that connects the entire Monterey Peninsula, over 15 miles from Pacific Grove to the Marina. If you ever had the slightest desire to take a 10+mile walk, let this be the one.

At night, look to the southwest as the harbor dresses for evening in a million twinkling lights. Then look to the northeast, where your senses are soothed by ocean sounds and saltwater smells. Walking on the beach at dusk will be one of the most memorable experiences of your visit. This single-story corner unit's closest neighbor is sand and surf. Follow the footpath just outside your door to the beach.

Living Space
Decorated in crisp whites and ocean blues, this 880-square-foot condo epitomizes seashore elegance. The open floor plan features a living area with a plush sofa and chair. The electric fireplace is Decorative in nature and while it is not a heat source, it gives off a pleasant, ambient glow. The well-equipped kitchen with full-sized appliances making cooking-in easy. The china and glassware are worthy of entertaining your most discriminating guests. Whimsical artwork dots the walls with inspired reminders that you are at the beach. Available for Extended Stays!

Bedroom and Bathroom
The bedroom has luxurious linens for the queen size bed, a TV and direct access to the bathroom.
The recently remodeled bathroom has a shower over tub.

A stacking washer and dryer are located in a closet off the bedroom and the complex has additional laundry facilities with pay-per-load machines that take cards, not quarters.

The unit has one assigned parking space and a small, shared garage space for parking a small to medium car, thus there is a 2-car maximum for guests staying at this vacation home though there is sometimes street parking available outside of the gate as well.

The complex has two pools - one is heated, two jacuzzis, a workout room, sauna.

Small, quiet, well-behaved dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.

When you need a place to get away from it all yet be close to everything, choose Sanctuary in the Dunes.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and condition of this place is wonderful. When I walked in I thought I had finally found "my place" for the annual trips I enjoy in Monterey and Carmel.The Sanctuary staff went the extra mile to help with several problems initially. The TV in the living room is hard to enjoy due to the strange set up of the components. The tech team from Sanctuary helped a great deal and once we figured it out it was OK though still complicated. The TV in the bedroom needs attention. It has a wobbly picture at times and seems old and I feel that the showerhead needs changing or fixing but that may be personal preference.However the reason for only 3 stars is the neighbor with the adjoining wall was a problem for me. She is not well and makes a lot of noise and sounds throughout the day AND night. I was concerned for her a lot, and it sadly often interfered with my sleep and relaxation and finally I had to end my stay early. I don't like writing this as the place is wonderful and Sanctuary did refund me generously but it is beyond their purview to do anything about the neighbor. If you won't be disturbed by the sounds and erractic nature of this situation then you will love the place.
