We always enjoy our stays with these hosts! This quaint home was perfect for what our family needed for the stay. We cooked most days we were there and were easily able to find all the gadgets/ pans we needed to make the process easier. The location in the village made walks to the store and beach more delightful and simple. We would book here again.

Great place to stay. I wanted to make a nice pasta dinner for my sister and some family members. The house had a great stove and all the pots and utensils I needed. Dillon beach is a nice slow, sleepy coastal town. We went to the area to meet some friends who camped at bodega bay and this was a nice close spot to meet with them. Overall I would recommend staying here.

Great location. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans and spices. We always bring an extra frying pan because when we have stayed at some places in the past, cookware was sorely lacking. It was nice that we didn't have to use it. Supplies for paper towels, toilet paper, towels were were good. Beds were very comfortable which was a plus. We definitely would like to come back. Thank you for sharing your home and for an awesome weekend!

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.
