This was our first time staying at Blue Diamond and it absolutely did not disappoint. We have traveled the coast for years but have not stayed at a more peaceful and relaxing home like this one. The large house and short walk to the beach was perfect for our family of 6 to enjoy our summer break. This space is definitely one we will recommend to others and space we would absolutely visit again. Absolutely no complaints about the home and we greatly appreciate your attention to detail to make our stay memorable and comforting.
The place is clean and wonderful. It is how we imagined the experience was going to be. We can hear the ocean waves from the house, easy access to the beach. The place was well stocked. Everything that we need for our stay was all there. The owner responds fast. 100% we recommend this place.
We had a very relaxing stay in this multi-level beach homeâŠWhen we wanted to go out, it was in the middle of Santa Cruz to the north and Carmel and Big Sur to the SouthâŠ.so it was easy to visit friends in both those areas, and also enjoy the sites and dining out. The home was very comfortable and well appointed for coming back toâŠ.
Perfect space with a professional host in an uncrowded area on a beautiful coast. Three couples fit easily, and the sports courts, pool, and hot tub were all ours when we werenât walking the shore. Really the most relaxing getaway.
Gorgeous location. As we were so close to the beach, we went for a walk in the morning before returning for brunch. What a treat!
Very well equipped kitchen, which made it a pleasure to cook together. And the combination of very comfortable bed and the sound of crashing ocean waves made for a great night of sleep.
And Deb was just awesome with quick response to any question we had.
Highly recommend!
Great place. Clean and tidy. Everything you would need included. The make-your-own beach ornaments was a very nice touch. Perfect for quiet relaxation.
We enjoyed our stay at Monterey Dunes. We were three couples, and the unit was ideal for us. Well stocked and enough space to comfortably accommodate the six of us. Great location with great views and access to the dunes and ocean. Recommend a visit to Elkhorn Slough Conservancy.
We had an amazing stay at this wonderful property. It had everything we needed to cook meals on property. Easy beach access. Great host. We will be booking again for sure.
A particularly well stocked, cozy place. Comfortable beds and linens. All the amenities anyone might need. The heat worked well, parking was easy, and the beach was a dream.
House was well appointed with everything you would need for staying in place vacation. The beach was gorgeous and private. The views were spectacular and access to amenities were not too far. Would love to visit again. Hostess was very helpful. Our three generation family thoroughly enjoyed the area and house.
Location couldnât be better. Enjoyed sitting in front of the fireplace and watching the sunset. Bedrooms were all comfortable. Kitchen was well appointed. Everything was clean. Overall a great stay.
Private beach , community hot tub and heated pool. Tennis courts . Lot of board games . The whale watching from living room . Comfortable king size beds in all rooms.
The property is great for a get-away.... gated, private, right on the beach, you can hear the waves at night, you have your own private bunny hopping through the bushes, and the house has all the amenities you need. Spices, oil, cooking utensils, flatware and dishware, and the beds are comfy. Each room has a bathroom which is an added plus. My nephew loved the puzzles that were available, and I hung out on the lounge chairs on the deck with a glass of vino. Couldn't be happier. Thank you!!!!
Our multi-generational family of four adults and two children had an amazing stay at the Blue Diamond. Communication with the host (Deb) was clear, timely and reliable. The house was spotless on arrival. The generous-sized beds were very comfortable. The view was fantastic and it was so pleasant to wake up each morning to the sounds of the sea. The hostess thought of our every need. The wagon to cart the kids and supplies to the pool, hot tub, club-house was much appreciated. Kitchen was well-stocked with spices, oil, sugar, etc.. I can't wait to return. Thank you Deb for sharing your beautiful slice of California Coast with my family. We made some great memories and can't wait to return soon.
We came with our kids and grandkids for a weekend stay. The house backs on to the dunes and the beach. It was clean and well stocked. The beach, pool, hot tub and outdoor sporting areas are great! The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. Weâre already talking about returning.
Had a great stay. My friends and I loved the view , and the house had everything you could need. Sitting in the living room with giant windows, or the patio off the kitchen with both overlooking the ocean were our favorite places to hangout. We were lucky enough to see the âShooty Shearwater bird migrationâ which happens once a year was breathtaking with the sun setting in background. Bedrooms and bathrooms were plenty big and super comfy beds and linens. Deborah was a top notch host - thank you
Lots of room. All six of us slept comfortably. Kids loved ladder golf and playing on beach. Lots of beach toys and chairs. Made it very easy. Also short walk to beach was great. Plenty of coffee in the morning. Listening to the ocean was wonderful. Very close to moss landing for some great food. Very nice spot. Thanks!
The location of this home on the Monterey Dunes is absolutely magical. The house was clean, and very well appointed- especially with all of the things in the kitchen.
The games and books that are available were also more than expected. There is plenty of gear, beach toys, tennis rackets, beach towels even soap, shampoo,, etc so you really only need to bring yourselves. Direct path to a beautiful private beach and the amenities with pool, tennis court, hot tub were fantastic. Deborah was quick to communicate. We had a wonderful stay with family and would definitely return.
I needed this respite at the Blue Diamond! It was so relaxing to watch the ocean and the birds. The best view is from the living room but there are good views from the dining room, kitchen, a bedroom, and 2 porches on different levels. Since I wanted to spend all my time at the beach I brought all the food I needed for the stay. I was quite impressed with how well the kitchen was stocked. For example there was a drip coffee maker, a French press, and a Kuerig coffee maker. I slept in the master bedroom and the bed was perfect. I slept like a log every night. I left rejuvenated and I canât wait to come back!
Iâd like to add that communications with the host was detailed and prompt.
Thank you!
