Cute, clean, and comfortable cottage!

The cottage was so cozy and quaint! Everything was clean, and very comfortable. The living room windows had beautiful ocean and sunset views. I especially enjoyed the super comfy sofa near the gas fireplace, and the rocking chair on the backyard deck. The cottage has everything for a relaxing, enjoyable beach vacation, it was an amazing week!

Short walk to the beach

Wonderful rustic little cottage to stay at. Nice lot and great view. A short walk to the beach and general store. You can hear the waves crashing on the shore right from the cottage. It was a great getaway for rest and relaxation for this short trip.

I've stayed here before the the addition of the updated backyard in the old existing empty lot. The view is beautiful and the outdoor area is perfect for a still day. Perfect location for a walk to the beach or soft serve at the local market.

Perfect Vacation

The Cats Meow is an adorable, comfortable cottage so close to the beach that you can fall asleep listening to the waves crash. The kitchen was perfectly appointed with everything we needed for prep and cooking, the beds were SO comfortable, and the backyard was great for watching the sunset. My dog wore herself out walking on the beach while we were there. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Dillon Beach!

Lovely redwood cottage, right next to the beach, great yard!

We had such a great stay and we didn't want to leave! We loved the cottage. The pictures don't do it justice. It's lovely! They yard is fantastic! Spacious, great deck to watch the ocean and surfers and sea birds. The location couldn't be better- it's right next to the path leading down to the beach. We can't wait to stay again!
