About this property
Sundog Cottage - Clean & Cozy - EV - Walk to Food & Beach - Fenced Yard for Dog
Stocked with the best and often forgotten essentials so you can arrive as you would to your own family beach house. We want you to be at home at Sundog the moment you pull into the driveway.
Cozy, clean and great vibe! This updated (Solar battery backup) cottage with a modern retro flair is in a very walkable location near the General Store, Coastal Kitchen, and main beach access. It is a sleepier section of the village with pastoral views from the fully fenced backyard and if you go to the far left corner of the front deck, depending on the growth of the trees down there, you get a peekaboo view of the ocean. There's even a doggy door for your (smaller) furry friend.
We've made the most of this sweet cottage, and it has an open feel and romantic, comfortable decor.
Each bedroom has a Queen bed.
Solar back up keeps the power on out here, and you know that's a big giant PERK.
ABOUT DOGS:
We LOVE DOGS (madly, I tell you) and are determined to be able to host them too, however we do have insurance restrictions on breeds (check if yours is a high profile breed), and limit two 2 dogs (3 if they're leeeetle) and 4 people max.
Backyard is fully fenced and secure with a charcoal BBQ grill, and picnic table. The birds are almost always singing here.
Front deck is huge, with Adirondack chairs and a a pup gate to keep everyone contained. We have the beach chairs, towels, umbrella, blanket, toys and all the things to make you happy down there in the sand.
We are clean and peaceful and serene, and hope that is what draws you in to stay with us!
Other things to note
No smoking (anywhere on the premises).
Please clean up after Fido.

About the host
Hosted by Valerie
I'm the writer of stories, scripts, and songs. Sometimes they get heard, read, and sung.
*
Connecting with others and providing a personal touch is something that falls within my top strengths, and I'm beyond excited to have a way of exercising these strengths as a host. We also LIVE right here at Dillon Beach and are available to you for spur of the moment questions, directions, and recommendations!
*
We dream of a world that comes together in unity. Where all are included and none despised. So rather than just dream about it, we made our own little space among the big space, and called it The Sundog.
*
Fun fact: We care for orphans and special needs children in India, as well as provide clean drinking water in villages that have none. In this way we peacefully contribute to the world, and your stay with us will contribute there as well.

Why they chose this property
Sundog is not just a quick "pack it in and turn it over over" vacation rental. We are neighbors, and deeply love our little treasure of a community.
The house is precious. It just feels "different" . Better, somehow. Like, a best friend.
We want to make sure The Sundog is what you are looking for in a space just as much as making sure you are a good fit for The Sundog.

What makes this property unique
Fenced Yard
Doggy Door
Baby Gate (to block the stairs out on the deck)
Junior Ping Pong Table (in the closet)
A host that lives a few minutes away and is willing to bring over anything extra we have that may not be in a standard rental. "Do you have an egg? A cuppa sugar?"
While you're here, you're our neighbors.
