Our recent stay at The Lookout was exceptional! The house is positioned perfectly, with the most amazing views of the Pacific while just a bit removed from the main drag for more privacy. The kitchen and house were exceptionally well-stocked with everything we could ever need, and we loved our little welcome basket! Communication with our host was near-instant, and we will definitely be looking at other rentals from this provider because they clearly understand how to make a vacation great. For just one example they offer a lot of add-ons if you're smart enough to take them, like a charcuterie board or private chef, activity ideas like massages, etc.! We will DEFINITELY get the charcuterie next time -- ooh la la luxury! If you are looking for a reliable, high-end stay at Dillon Beach for a great price, this is the place.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your stay at The Lookout. The views and peaceful location really do make it such a special home, and we’re so happy you were able to fully relax and enjoy everything it has to offer.
It also means a lot to hear your kind words about the communication, welcome basket, and the extra guest services we offer. We would love to host you again at The Lookout or any of our other homes in the future!
The home is beautiful, beautifully appointed and very comfortable. The views are spectacular and it was just a very, very comfortable place to be, easy to get to the beach, to the town, I’d highly recommend it. We loved getting to have our dog along. too. Very clean and fun snacks.. great deck time listening to the ocean and the birds.

We loved staying at The Lookout. The cottage is adorable and clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and stay-in. Really enjoyed walking down to the store, restaurant and beach, hiking, playing card games, and just gazing at the water from the deck! It was the first time our English Lab, Chuck, had been on a beach. So fun!

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay! The view from the deck really is a sight to see! Hope Chuck enjoyed the beach. We would love to host you (and Chuck) again!
We spent almost two weeks enjoying this as our home away from home. Cozy, well-appointed, and that view! The perfect place to rest and unwind in that classic Dillon Beach way - long walks on the beach, a few short drives to vineyards or a hike in the redwoods, and hours on the back deck watching the waves. Perfect.
