Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us for the weekend. We cleaned it, including vacuuming up any dog hair from our really calm, well-behaved dog, Elin. She is not allowed on any furniture or beds. We have been coming to Dillon Beach for 40 years and love the relaxing atmosphere!

Loved the facility. Only two semi-bummers. 1) Apparently fog mornings and evenings are common. 2) there is construction next door but did not effect the view.

Great views!

This was a great property for my family. We had what we needed in the kitchen - lots of games and towels too. We didn’t try the TV, but everything else worked well! The only surprise was that the furniture in the main living room did not match what was in the photos. But it was all nice and mostly as advertised. We really enjoyed our time here!

As Advertised - Beautiful Place to be

The property was as advertised. The house was beautiful and clean. I'd highly recommend it to others. However, the Wifi and TV's did not work. But our whole idea was to escape both of those, so mission accomplished! :-)

Great place to hangout with family and enjoy the ocean and mountain views

The house is well stocked for hanging out, cooking, relaxing, and quality family time. We enjoyed having three separate levels of sleeping options. The appointments and furnishings are casual and not fussy which was as advertised and worked fine for us. The area in general offers great walks/hikes including more remote coastline trails.

Beautiful place

We came to relax and celebrate my 65th birthday. The house is beautiful and the view is amazing. Loved how peaceful and relaxing the area was. We had deer, hares and quail walking through the yard, which we really enjoyed. The beach was a joy to visit. This house has everything you need for a great visit. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you would need. Would definitely recommend.

Views, views, views!

This house is a terrific property. Incredible views! The home felt very cozy… Relaxing living area, comfortable beds, good size dining table, fully stocked kitchen. Lots of wildlife on the hillsides to enjoy. Close to Dillon Beach. Small general store nearby, with essential groceries, but I suggest bringing most of your groceries with you! We had a bit of an issue upon arrival, but Linda, property manager, addressed it quickly, and went above and beyond for us. We greatly appreciated her!

Weekend Stay

We live in the area and enjoy Dillon Beach. The views of the ocean and of the bay from are great - perfect for sunset. Comfortable furnishings in a very cozy house. Good communication with the manager. Easy check-in. One note: the listing says there is construction "up the hill." To be more specific, the construction is on the lot next door to the property right outside the kitchen and main level bedroom windows. It doesn't block the ocean view, but the construction is level with the house since they have excavated the hill to make a level area to build a home. Fortunately the very loud construction/heavy equipment noise ended by midday on Saturday, and there is no construction on Sunday. There is also construction way up the hill/road. But we did not hear any noise from that. Just something to keep in mind.

Comfortable house in great location

We came to Dillon Beach to celebrate our sister's 50th wedding anniversary. The location was excellent; we could walk up the hill to their house in 10 minutes. The house is furnished very nicely and very well equipped. The beds were comfortable. The only drawback is that the two bathrooms are both on the same floor. One is in the master suite, the other in the hallway. That meant that the couple staying in the upstairs room had to come downstairs, while the person staying in the lower level had to come upstairs to use the bathroom. For people in their seventies, this means one or more times a night. It's not an issue for younger people, and the house was otherwise lovely, charming, and well-equipped (except for tissues; bring your own).
