Short walk to the beach

Escape to your coastal haven, where the rhythm of the waves sets the tone for serenity. This charming sanctuary unfolds across two captivating stories, each infused with the essence of seaside living.

Ascend to the top floor and be greeted by sweeping vistas of the Pacific Ocean, a breathtaking backdrop to the heart of your home. Here, natural light dances through expansive windows, illuminating the open-concept living space where memories are shared and laughter echoes.

Descend to the lower level, where cozy bedrooms invite you to unwind in tranquility. Indulge in the luxury of your private backyard oasis, complete with a soothing hot tub nestled amidst lush greenery.

Step outside and let the ocean breeze kiss your skin as you relax on the patio, enveloped in the peaceful ambiance of coastal living. And when adventure beckons, the nearby Dillon Beach entrance awaits just a leisurely stroll away, promising endless exploration.

Immerse yourself in maritime-inspired interiors, where every detail pays homage to the sea's timeless allure. From nautical accents to soothing ocean hues, each element invites you to embrace the beauty of coastal living.

With convenient parking for two medium-sized cars. Whether seeking solace in the tranquility of the waves or embarking on seaside adventures, this coastal retreat is where memories are made and dreams set sail

Nice but no extras

Beautiful views from living area, balcony and kitchen. Rooms themselves are smaller than it seemed from pictures and there are no extras in this rental (i.e. no beach towels, even though located walking distance from the beach; and kitchen stocked with spices, but no flour, no oil). Also the lockbox for the key is rusted as are locks themselves. Some wear and tear from the salty air and water. Nonetheless, we absolutely enjoyed our stay and would come again.

Great Stay

This is a great rental. I would suggest stocking the shower with shampoo, soap and conditioner. Just the basics. I was surprised nothing was provided. I would also suggest providing more towels, given there is a hot tub. Would definitely rent here again.

A great, relaxing getaway

A friend and I had a fantastic weekend here. We loved the location, we were happy to have the driveway because the street is narrow! Totally comfortable accommodations, we loved the electric fireplace in the living room. Found the kitchen well-equipped but some foil/ziplocs/saran wrap would have been helpful. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend this property!

Great location & beautiful view!

The house was great for our long weekend! It was walking distance to the beach. The view from the main living area was gorgeous! We spent a lot of time on the deck drinking coffee in the morning and drinking some champagne watching the sunset. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The hot tub was nice and hot!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Cali getaway

Enjoyed our time in this welcoming coastal village. Excellent location with stunning views. In the morning after soaking in the hot tub the previous night, I was welcomed by a deer at the kitchen window. Life is great. The hot tub was fantastic!

Lovely view

The view was the best part, but the property was clean and comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. There seemed to be some electrical issues as the breakers kept getting tripped and we didn’t have anything extra plugged in. But overall I’d stay there again.

Perfect Dillon Beach rental

Our family of four have stayed in this Dillon Beach rental four times and it just keeps getting better. There have been improvements to the property that have increased functionality and comfort, and you can't beat the location. The property manager is friendly and there were no issues accessing the property on time. Helpful hints for future renters: - Plan on packing your own food storage containers/ziploc bags. - Bring your own beach supplies (towels, toys, chairs, etc.). - This is a two-story property with no gate at the top of the stairs, which may be a concern for families with young children. Also, no bathtub. - Wonderful amenities for renting at the beach: laundry on-site, hot tub, and BBQ.

Perfect location for us.

Privacy shades only in the bedrooms. Tried to connect with the property manager regarding a failed smoke detector, but no response. Location was great as was the view. Perfect 5-10 minute walk to the beach. Hot tub was awesome.

Ocean cottage

We got to the cottage and the instructions for everything were very clear and easy to understand. The cottage was clean and appeared the same as it was presented on Vrbo. I would definitely recommend this cottage to others and may use it next time we go to Dillon Beach.
