Perfect family get away

Darling inside and out! Perfect location, short walk to trail that leads to the beach or you can just enjoy the view from the dining room table. Love that it is mainly single story except a few bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Well equipped, comfy beds, plenty of towels. We will be back for sure!

The view says it all

If you are familiar with Dillon Beach you will love this house. I was surprised how easy the access to the beach was give the location of this property. A short walk down the road leads to a trail that lands you on the beach in less than 5 minutes from the door. And if you didn’t get enough of the ocean the view from the living room includes plenty of the pacific and Bodega Head. Plenty of sleeping space for our party of 6 adults, two kids, and a baby.

Perfect location. Property was exactly as presented. Messages promptly returned. Loved it. Hope to go with family at least once a year. You should add the wildlife to description. We had a deer family, turkeys, and a neighborhood cat

Fun Family Time

This home is casual and comfortable and is ideal for a multi-generational family. Our group consisted of me, my sons and their families which included my adult and teen-aged grandchildren and two dogs. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the fire pit in the evening. Everyone agreed that we should make this a yearly event!

Gorgeous View

Really enjoyed this eclectic home that has a lot of character. Large front windows to give a gorgeous view of the ocean. Beautiful back yard with hot tub, fireplace and grill. House is well equipped with everything you need and is a comfortable place to be. Everything was clean when we arrived. Checkin instructions nice and easy even in needing to access the lock box. It was a perfect home for our girls trip. Would definitely stay here again.

A Wonderful Weekend Retreat

Being the first gathering of our family together since before the pandemic we wanted a special place for this reunion. Two of our sons live in Santa Rosa, so Dillion Beach seemed like a good place for us to converge, with one son's family in Kentucky, and our daughter and son in law, and my wife and I in Washington state. The beach was wonderful and kept our two grandsons occupied during the daytime. There was plenty of room in the house for the 10 of us. Furnishings were tastefully done, plenty of cooking utensils and gadgets supplied, and the backyard was set up for cozy evenings outside by the fire, although during our stay it got pretty chilly outside once the sun set, and we didn't actually use the fire pit or hot tub (next time!). Picturesque view out to the bay from the picture windows in the dining room, (but shades would have been useful once the evening sun sank to eye level.) I think the owner has a winner here. I hope to rent it again in the future!!!

Great stay close to the beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. It was well stocked throughout and the location is unbeatable. In the backyard, The hot tub was lovely, and the outdoor shower was a bonus to rinse off after walking in the sand at the beach, and made rinsing off the dog super easy, too. The gate was easy to open and close, and the fully fenced and tidy back yard was a safe place for the dog to wander around in. The kitchen had all pots and pans needed for several different meals. The microwave worked just fine. I think the oven ran a little cool, so just note that when you are cooking and maybe crank up the heat a bit. The dining area was comfortable for all six of us. The beds and bedrooms were comfortable. One thing I do want to note here is they provided some difficulty for my older relative, as the stairs are very steep, and she was unable to go up and down the stairs. The bedroom on the ground floor has a VERY tall bed (like 4 feet tall), so she needed help getting in and out. We had a great time and would definitely consider staying here again.

I love this house! It has a unique layout that was so perfect for our group. The two upstairs bedrooms, with 7 beds total, was ideal for my teenage son and his friends, while my husband was able to use the second downstairs bedroom as an office. The house is decorated with fun, cool art and whimsical fabrics and furniture that make it feel special without being precious. The location and orientation of the house to the ocean is hard to beat: unobstructed sunset views from inside the home and both decks! And an easy walk to the beach and General Store. My interactions with the owner were stellar; she was prompt with her responses and helpful beyond expectation. We will be back!!

We loved our time here! The house was much brighter and spacious than expected. It's really great for larger or multiple families without being crazy enormous and losing a homey feeling. There's 2 full baths plus outside shower...wayer was plenty hot! Sitting on the front deck was a great spot to work and make friends with neighbors. Backyard campfire and hot tub were great ways to warm up after tidepooling. House was well equipped with extra blankets, beach towels, space heaters, kitchen equipment (just need a knife sharpener), even had marshmallow roasting sticks!! Cool art made the whole place feel fun. Much easier driving and parking than some other houses we had looked at near the main beach. We just walked the trail to fairly private parts of the beach. It was steep at times, so maybe not doable for those with physical impairments. Local residents were super nice. It had me looking at real estate listings...seriously loved it that much! Sunsets from the the front deck (or a few steps down the street) we're breathtaking. I'd love to make this a regular visit.
