    About The Lookout
    Beach in five, ocean views all day, and fireside nights! Just a 5-minute walk from Dillon Beach, The Lookout is a dog-friendly 2-bedroom + bonus sleeping retreat for 8 with coastal-view decks, two fireplaces, and separate upper and lower living areas. Spend the day on the beach, explore Tomales Bay or Point Reyes, then come home for a sunset BBQ overlooking the Pacific. Perfect for families, couples traveling together, friends, girls’ getaways, multi-generational trips, and dog lovers.

    Why This Home Stands Out
    The Lookout pairs walk-to-beach convenience with the extra breathing room groups appreciate. Separate upper and lower living areas, two fireplaces, two full bathrooms, and multiple outdoor spaces let everyone spread out, while ocean views and Dillon Beach just a 5-minute walk away keep the coast at the center of your stay.


    Living Spaces
    Two comfortable living areas give families and groups extra room to relax after the beach. Ocean views, fireplaces, a Smart TV, and easy outdoor access create inviting spaces for gathering together—or enjoying a little downtime apart.


    Kitchen & Dining
    The fully equipped kitchen features a breakfast bar and dining space for easy vacation meals. Fire up the gas BBQ and take dinner outside to enjoy the fresh coastal air and sunset views.


    BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
    Bedroom 1 — Queen Bed
    A comfortable Queen bedroom for a restful night after days on the coast.

    Bedroom 2 — Full Bed
    A cozy second bedroom with a Full bed.

    Bonus Sleeping Area — Two Twin Beds
    A flexible sleeping area with two Twin beds, ideal for kids, teens, or additional guests.

    Additional Sleeping — Sleeper Sofa
    Provides additional sleeping flexibility for larger groups.


    Bathrooms
    Two full bathrooms make group stays more convenient, with a walk-in shower in one and a tub/shower combination in the other.

    A washer and dryer are also available for guest use.


    Outdoor Living
    Start the morning with coffee and Pacific views from the upper deck, walk approximately 5 minutes to Dillon Beach, then return for an easy afternoon outside. Grill dinner on the gas BBQ, dine in the coastal air, relax on the lower patio, and catch the colors of sunset over the ocean.
    Multiple outdoor spaces make it easy to move from beach day to sunset evening without missing a minute of the coastal setting.

Our recent stay at The Lookout was exceptional! The house is positioned perfectly, with the most amazing views of the Pacific while just a bit removed from the main drag for more privacy. The kitchen and house were exceptionally well-stocked with everything we could ever need, and we loved our little welcome basket! Communication with our host was near-instant, and we will definitely be looking at other rentals from this provider because they clearly understand how to make a vacation great. For just one example they offer a lot of add-ons if you're smart enough to take them, like a charcuterie board or private chef, activity ideas like massages, etc.! We will DEFINITELY get the charcuterie next time -- ooh la la luxury! If you are looking for a reliable, high-end stay at Dillon Beach for a great price, this is the place.

We really loved our stay at the Lookout. The house was inviting, comfortable and very well appointed. My only suggestions for improvement are screen door needed on the sliders to the deck to keep bugs and most importantly yellow jackets out of the house. Additionally, one or two yellow jacket traps on/near the deck would help as well. Otherwise we loved it and would totally stay here again.

Beautiful beach vacation

Lovely spotless clean house,stunning ocean views, gorgeous sunsets. Very responsive management and owner. The neighborhood is very hilly and the teens walked up and back to the beach. Those of us with older knees and too much beach paraphernalia had to drive and pay the $10 to park. The house was the perfect place for a awesome CA beach family vacation. knees and to much beach paraf

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: --gorgeous views, within walking distance to the beach and beautifully appointed. My criticism: "Check Out Procedures" which sounded like rules posted in a dorm kitchen,requiring guests who have already paid a cleaning fee to dump garbage, sweep up and wash and put away dishes are excessive. As annoying as this was, none of it could take away from the great time we had.

The Lookout

This is a great property. The kitchen is very well equipped and supplied. Having the separate area downstairs would be great for families or extended families with kids. The only glitch was the check in process. We could not get the lockbox open, so spent 45 minutes waiting outside in the fog and wind, and talking with the property manager. Eventually they called back and said that they had changed the lockboxes recently and had not updated their check in procedure with the new code. Once that was resolved, our stay was wonderful. The manager was pretty prompt in responding to our issue.
