Great Ocean views from every room!

Marin Co Short Term Renal license P5212

The 13th of Summer is a romantic get-away or a comfy family holiday cottage on the Marin/Sonoma coast. Be awed!

Note: the deck is secure for my 11 lb Maltese dog Sally Rose. The yard is not fenced.

Dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean, waves rushing up the shore. Grand sunsets from hug picture windows or even better from the deck with a glass of wine!

It's just a short five minute stroll to the beach.

When not watching sunsets or the sea, guests can enjoy the household surroundings. The cottage is filled with original paintings and sculpture by local artists. No need to work at a wood burning fire. An environmentally conscience gas burning stove is romantic for that fire-wood stove look, warmth and ambiance. The energy efficient gas heater keeps the cottage cozy.

Take a nap; watch the waves.! The westerly living room has an extra long down filled sofa, huge soft chair w/ ottoman and oak rocker. Lots of lamps make reading and close work enjoyable. The view is wonderful. The easterly sitting area is a cozy conversation or media area and has an overstuffed chair with ottoman and love seat.

An induction range and a refrigerator are in the kitchen. From the sink is a view of the front garden and from the stove, the sea. ATT phone service includes the continental USA is in the kitchen and master bedroom. Mircrowave, blender, food processor, Kenmore mixer, rice cooker, stick blender, toaster

New smart TV

The master bedroom has a queen size bed, blue leather wingback chair and oak dresser. Reading the paper, drinking coffee, and watching birds scamper along the shore make staying tucked in under the down comforter a morning pleasure.

The knotty pine bedroom has a queen bed and twin bed, antique oak dresser and upholster high-back chair. When standing by the windows, the bay and Bodega Head can be enjoyed. Beach chairs and blanket are in this closet

Upstairs and between the two bedrooms is a half-bath with sink and toilet.

Downstairs is the full bath with shower, toilet, sink,and, of course, a great view of the ocean.

The deck provides a great area to relax with teak chaise lounges, table and chair for taking in the view. A cozy and comfortable dining area with the grand Pacific Ocean before you makes inside dining a delight.

The comfy cottage at 13 Summer will reward you with romance and relaxation!

Check in is 4pm and check out is 11am. Note: there is pet fee of $50 for one large dog or two small dogs.

Parking is very limited in Dillon Beach. The cement drive-way along the south side of the house will accommodate one sedan or SUV. Non reserved parking is allowed across the street along the cement retaining wall. I ask that guests let me know ahead of time if they plan to plug in their electric..

Overnight guests are limited to 5 people.

We had an awesome time at Cherry’s rental. The rental was like a home full of beautiful artwork, books, decorative items and antique furniture. We loved it so much that we actually did not travel around much. We enjoyed the patio and views of the ocean as well as the sunsets.

I have stayed in this home many times over the years. I love the warmth and coziness this home offers. Cherry's home is dog friendly and has all of the essentials to make both myself and my dogs happy. Just a few minutes walk to the beach, and with expansive beach and ocean views. I am a clean freak, and this home is sparkling clean!! I will continue to visit this home in the years to come.

Recharge Retreat!

We had such a wonderful stay! The property is absolutely beautiful—spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need, especially in the kitchen. The ocean views from both bedrooms were stunning and made each morning feel like a retreat. It was the perfect place to unwind and recharge after a busy and demanding school year. Highly recommend!

This is our second stay at Cherry's beautiful property. Cherry goes above and beyond to make you feel at home and welcome. The home is full of wonderful art pieces and so comfortable. I love cooking in her well equipped modern kitchen. The deck is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the great view. The location of the property couldn't be better and is just a short walk to the beach. We look forward to coming back next year!

Excellent location and experience

Our 7-day's stay, with two adults and one teenager, at this beautiful location was excellent in every respect - very well equipped and maintained, very friendly contact to and care by Cherry (the landlord). We especially admired and valued the excellent condition of all kitchen equipment. The beach, the view, the comfort - a perfect place to relax!

Fab beach trip

The beach cottage is perfect for a long weekend or short beach getaway. The beach is super dog friendly with both rocky and sandy beach area. And the house is more than cozy with all the amenities. Only downside is that there is only one shop/restaurant to walk to. Loved it!

Great Place to Stay

My favorite place to stay in Dillon Beach, beautifully decorated and the house was so comfortable. I loved cooking in a well equipped kitchen.
