About this property

Historic Beach Cottage with Ocean View Deck - Steps to Beach

Located in the idyllic village of Dillon Beach, enjoy the stunning ocean views and the peaceful sound of waves in this charming cottage. Take pleasure watching whales and surfers from the front deck during the day or stargaze at night. Have your toes in the sand in just 3 minutes. This lovely retreat can bring a remarkable sense of peace and contentment.

The all wood interior makes use of its original 100 year old-growth redwood and fir. Relax in this light filled house by sitting in the window seat amongst the book lined shelves to read or just stare out the window. The side BBQ deck has a dining table and views of Tomales Bay.

This delightful coastal cottage has 1 bedroom with a queen bed and a pull out queen sleeper in the living room. There are 1 and ½ bathrooms. The queen bed is outfitted in soft organically grown cotton bedding from the local company Coyuchi. It sleeps 4 comfortably.

We have parking for 2 cars, WiFi, and the kitchen is fully stocked by someone who cooks! We welcome well-behaved dogs with an additional fee.

The cottage is very tastefully restored and well appointed with most anything you would need for staying in, relaxing or cooking (though there are some not to be missed restaurants just a short drive away). It’s perched up on a hill so you can watch the waves break and the fog roll in from the comfortable main living space and outside decks. Just a short walk away, Dillon Beach is our new favorite with almost 2 miles for strolling and calm waves for the pups to enjoy. Looking forward to another visit!

The cutest cottage and beautiful beach

We stayed at Dillon beach for three days. The scenery is spectacular and the cottage was the perfect lodging! It’s a great location and provides just the right amount of space and convenience for a family of three. We had a very difficult time leaving.

Another stellar stay at Dillon Beach

Second time staying in this cottage, it's really wonderful. This time we got both amazing sunny warm weather (perfect front porch sitting!) and cold dreary weather (perfect window seat sitting!) Can't wait to come again!

Wonderful Beach Getaway

What a wonderful house and stay! Perfectly sized for our family and dog to enjoy a beach getaway. Checkin was super easy and the house had everything we needed for our stay! Beds were very comfy and towels nice and thick. Nice hot water and great shower. Plenty of room to spread out. We enjoyed the deck overlooking the ocean and it was nice and warm up there. The beach and general store were a quick 3 minute walk down the hill and our kids and dog loved every part of our stay! We will be back.
