Relaxing Stay

We loved waking up to the view of the ocean and watching the surfers with coffee in hand. In the evenings we enjoyed watching the sunsets and the deer; the little fawns jumping and playing with mamas nearby. All so peaceful!We are in our mid-60's and the walk down to the beach was doable. But, we walk regularly. Some our age and older might need to drive to the main beach parking lot a short drive to the south for a more level walk on the sand.Thank you to our host, Jerry, who is a wonderful communicator. He was very helpful and has anticipated a guests questions and needs in his instructions on site.

Family & Friend Getaway

This was my second time at the property. The ocean is great, complete with hawks and deer. The house is spacious and comfortable.The kitchen is well appointed and the open floor plan allows for great conversations and views. Walk to the beach, store and cafe. Nice neighborhood street walking, too. Thanks Jerry!!

Wonderful relaxing getaway

Jerry’s home has a wonderful view and is a short little hike or walk to the beach or for coffee or a beer and snacks. I loved listening to the ocean at night. There are many amenities and the kitchen is very well-equipped. We are hoping to return next year.

Perfect coastal get away

Jerry's home is absolutely incredible! The location is so perfect, a short walk down to the beach with a small difficult part at the end and a 10-minute walk to the general store/coffee shop. The view was spectacular with big windows and a beautiful deck. The home was clean and comfortable and had many accommodations to make our stay as great as it could be.

Beautiful! Great Location

I went on a girls' trip with my college roommates, and we were looking for a peaceful spot on the California coast. This was perfect! We each had a bedroom with a comfy bed and got to wake up to gorgeous views every day. The kitchen was well equipped, and the sauna was a delightful bonus!

Great House

Two old friends and I reconnected for three nights here, and this house was perfect. Everything was clean and organized, and the space is nicely and simply decorated. The views are lovely and the walk to the beach is short. The rates feel very reasonable. I would definitely stay here again and might bring my husband and kids next time.

Wonderful Stay

Easy check in, great location, thoughtful decor and well appointed home. Stayed with my husband and siblings and 16mo old. The den was a great bonus space where we were able to set up her pack + play/slumberpod. The dehumidifier doubled as a white noise machine! Den would have also been a great workspace if we stayed longer. Would love to stay here again and actually use the sauna next time!

Weekend Getaway

My longtime best friend and I needed some ocean and sun. We found a great view, comfy beds and an immaculate house, but due to the cold weather, which a beach house usually doesn't have to deal with, it was freezing inside! It took many hours to heat the house. Luckily we found extra heaters and ended up being very comfortable!! Will definitely return!

Wonderful house to stay in!

We loved our stay at Jerry's house in Dillon Beach's Oceana Marin neighborhood! The home is very comfortable and we loved the midcentury modern furnishings! The beds were super comfortable, and care was taken to make the home user-friendly. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could want, and the pots, pans, knives, etc. were of high quality. There is also an abundance of high-quality books, games, and DVDs for families to enjoy! We didn't have any kids with us, but the den is light and welcoming and has a wonderful table and several chairs for kids to color, draw, or play with toys. There is a TV with streaming services, and a CD player, which we appreciated! It should be noted that there are a lot of stairs inside and outside of the house, although it was no problem for us. Last, but definitely not least, the view is Amazing from inside the living area, and from the ample decks. The easy walk to the main part of Dillon Beach is just 10 minutes, and is very beautiful! I was very sad to leave Jerry's wonderful house and hope to return!!

Or family had a wonderful experience at the house! It has a cool mid-century modern feel and was comfortable. We were able to take in spectacular views and it was centrally located to places we wanted to go. Jerry is a fantastic communicator. He even sent an item back that one of our children left behind. We’d love to go back again some day.

Why they chose this property

We chose Dillon Beach and this house because of it's unhurried, friendly, easy relaxed feel and the great views of incoming waves from the house & the expansive ocean panorama. After about a year working on weekends, the house has been renovated into a comfortable retreat with new furnishings.

The area is relatively undiscovered and far enough off busy Hwy 1 not to be touristy like Stinson Beach or other beach towns full of cars and traffic and it's only about a 1 hour drive from San Francisco. Surrounded by a pristine natural coastline and trails, it's an incredibly relaxing and easy escape from the city and hot Sacramento summers. The sunsets over the ocean and star filled night skies are amazing too. The cool nights and sound of the crashing waves make for an incredibly deep night's sleep as well.

We regularly stay at the beach house when it isn't rented and are continually making sure everything is in order, stocked up and maintained.

What makes this property unique

Staying at the beach is magical - picnics, sandcastles, body surfing and uncomplicated fun. It's a chance to slow down, relax and be together to relish life for a few days and relive fond memories of going to the beach as a kid.
