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.

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.

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!

Beautiful beach getaway

The property was lovely, and very comfortable for our group of friends! We especially loved the front deck with ocean views and the cozy dining room. A few things (including the hot tub) weren't working when we showed up, but the hosts were responsive and worked on getting things fixed before we left.

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!

This was a magical place to spend our family Christmas. Nothing compares to the gathering around that table with the view. From the days at the beach to the evenings in the hot tub and around the campfire, all was provided for our stay. So many towels and enough blankets to keep us dry and warm, the host provided even to the detail of brand names of soaps and shampoos. The upstairs space was perfect for all the cousins (6 of them under 10) and even our dog was a welcomed guest.

Family getaway for the long weekend

My family had a great time on this house in Dillon Beach. The house has a interesting 70’s decoration but we all liked it and found it very functional and fun. It is located just a short walking distance from the beach and the front large windows on the dining room proportionate to the great view from the ocean. The owner allowed us to bring with us our small dogs and they also had a blast going to the dog friendly beach of Dillon Beach. The fence in the backyard has collapsed but the owner is on the way of constructing it back and they told us about it before we went to the house. You still have relative privacy when using the hot tub or hanging out around the fire pit. The kitchen is well furnished with all you need to cook a meal for the family. We found the house clean and check in was with no problems. Thanks for letting us enjoy your place. We will recommend it to friends in the future.

Perfect Family Getaway

We had a family getaway to escape the heat. Our group was three families - 7 adults and 5 kids. Seemed like there was one sleeping space missing - wonder if the upstairs large play room had a trundle for one of the twin beds? Location of this gem was perfect. 3 min walk to the beach. Quiet neighborhood, low traffic. Older kids enjoyed being able to skateboard / ripstick to end of block to take in the ocean. The house was equipped with all you could need. We had an issue with the dishwasher door not closing, therefore we could not use it. Hand washing all our dishes was a hassle but the owners were accommodating. Front porch area was a perfect added space. We hope to be back for sure!

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.
