This place was the perfect peace and quiet that I had been needing. Everything was as described online and the process was seamless from start to finish. The added optional amenities were the perfect addition to my weekend of retreat. The sound of the waves and the view from the wrap around back porch were amazing. Increased by the deer that visited often. Would absolutely stay here again!!My only suggestion would be to have a slider on the back door so that guests can leave the door open to hear the waves from the kitchen and living room area without letting flies in.Also bedroom slider screen could use an adjustment to fix the gap that I believe let some of those flies in as well.

The view at this property is worth a million dollars. It is perfect for a couple or a small family. It appears to be about 800 square feet in total. It is clean and comfortable but could use some updates. I would stay here again if we end up going to Dillon Beach again.

Great escape

Really loved the location of the house. Beautiful views out of every window and the deck is perfect for watching the sun go down while enjoying a glass of wine. Beach walks for miles right down the road. We had everything we needed and felt the host put a lot of effort into the little details of making a stay relaxing. The only thing I would have done differently would be to book directly with Wine Country to Coast to save the VRBO tacked on charge.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful place to stay, this is it. The drive into the Dillion Beach area is absolutely beautiful, and it just kept getting better and better the closer we got to the property. We were greeted by 14 deer our first morning there including 6 fawns. They were not bothered by me standing on the deck watching them eat. The cottage is as pictured, cozy and quiet. Exactly what I needed!

cute and cozy

The property was very comfortable and cozy. It was raining much of the time we were there, so we didn't hang out on the deck. The grill was in good shape. Kitchen was well stocked. The beds are comfortable. There were plenty of towels for us to use in the home. It is important to know that Marin County is under stringent water restrictions. We did not mind at all - we try to conserve water anyway. If you need long showers, you may not want to visit Marin.

Dillion Beach

The house listed on this review is not the house we stayed in. Unfortunately this house was damaged the weekend before we were due to arrive. So we were offered 2 other homes both much nicer than the one we originally rented. The check in process was delayed due to cleaning issues but once we were in the home it was perfect!! Very clean, very spacious and had everything you could possibly want. Although we would have loved some books on the history of the area, the beach - any local history. It was beautiful weather and just steps to the beach. Truly magical place. Thank you

As shown in photos this cottage has spectacular Bodega Bay views - rock cliffs to the north; beach to the south. The kitchen is excellently outfitted with every device and spices, oils, condiments etc. Made making meals very easy and pleasant. Inside furniture is very comfy with afghans for cozying up. You are asked to tend to outdoor cushions on a daily basis, hauling in and out. The west facing windows give great sunset views but also heat up the house incredibly (west windows are not thermal and do not open) -- we often had to have the shades down at times when we would have preferred looking out at the ocean. We kept doors open a lot to keep fresh air circulating in the house. Beds & pillows are very comfortable. We saw deer outside nearly every morning grazing on the succulents that line the cliff and spied a bobcat out the front door one day, not to mention a large variety of birds flying by. The walk to the beach covers very steep incines, up and down, but the nearby public beach is a lovely place to hang out. This is a really pleasant place to spend time.

A Stunning Slice of Heaven

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It's the best view you will ever have for an American vacation. Maybe you can beat it somewhere else in the world but not in the U.S. It's simply an AWESOME (proper use of the word) place to wake up. The kitchen is very well equipped. The Wifi is strong and the beds are comfy. The hot water works well and the toilets flush right. My only knock would be the outdoor cushions are hard to get down from their perch and the outdoor furniture could use an upgrade but with that view you're not bothered by much. The staff at Wine Country are very responsive and helpful. Had a raccoon get into the foundation one night and they took care of it quickly. Good people.

Wonderful seaside getaway

My spouse and I went here to get away from the heat, and it was a wonderful stay! The cozy living space and deck are perfect for lazy mornings sipping hot tea and watching the wildlife (many deer, hawks, vultures, quail, and sea birds). The ocean view is stunning in clear weather and in fog. The house is wonderfully set up with all the kitchen equipment you need, cozy bedding, and bathroom amenities for a great, comfortable stay. This house would be worth it just for the setting, but it's thoughtful setup and homey interior makes it even better. Trips to the beach are quick and easy, and the surrounding area has lots of great food and day trip options. This place is a gem!
