We had the best time staying here for a quick girls trip for 6. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was fully stocked which was perfect to cook dinner together. Renovated bathroom too! Super close to the beach and the general store was right outside. Beautiful view of the ocean. Would definitely come back!

We loved being right in the heart of Dillon Beach at this place. It was clean and well-appointed but keep in mind that it's more on the "rustic" side, but with character.

The host was welcoming. The host did not know about a switch that the turned the hot water on and off. The hot water was not working at 8:30 at night. When we inquired the host explained that she could not attend to the problem at that time of night and she would attend to it the next day. At 10:45 pm we -- the guests found the switch. The number and contact information in the guest book was not accurate the communication with the number was never answered during our 7 day stay. However, Linda who was the contact for the rental was very responsive. The book should be updated

Thank you for your feedback. We’d like to clarify a few points for future guests. You checked in at 4:00 PM and contacted us around 9:00 PM regarding hot water. We responded immediately and let you know we would arrange for someone to come by the following morning to investigate. About an hour later, you contacted us again after discovering the wall switch for the hot water heater was in the off position. Once switched on, the hot water was restored and working properly. Throughout your stay, you made several requests, all of which we responded to and addressed promptly. Guest comfort and quick communication are always a priority for us. For these reasons, we respectfully disagree with the three-star rating, but we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
