"Room was clean and in good condition. Bed comfortable. Everything worked well (AC, shower, TV, etc.). Only slight ding was that when I checked in, I didn't have the credit card I had used to book on Expedia with me. Initially, even though the room was already paid for, the woman said she couldn't accept a different credit card for my deposit/incidentals. Then she said they would "let it slide" this time. Well, uh, thanks for letting me pay! Never heard of such a thing. Silly."

There was a welcome basket of a bottle of wine and delicious snacks awaiting us when we arrived, and the views from the family room were magnificent!! The large windows overlook Dillion Beach and the Pacific Ocean. The walk to the beach is literally just a few minutes. The house had all the amenities we could need including for all of our cooking. Throughout the week, Fay answered any inquiry I had quickly and thoughtfully.Couldn’t have asked for a better week. We look forward to another opportunity to stay!"
