The deck overlooking the ocean is the best feature of this house. You have a clear view of Dillon Beach to the left where you can see the surfers and other beach goers. Straight out and to the right of the house it is open ocean with nothing blocking any of the view. Kids liked the ping pong table, hot tub downstairs and boogie boarding and surfing at the beach. I liked relaxing and exploring the area with my dog. A couple friends came out for part of the week and we especially enjoyed morning coffee and sundown cocktails on the deck. The refrigerator was a bit dirty and had a lot of leftover food from the previous guest. Other than that the house was clean and comfortable. Beds are firm as stated in other reviews but we got used to it.

Location is excellent for enjoying the beach and the trail nearby is quite fine for most but the elderly or very small children. There is a lot of space in the house and the large balcony overlooking the ocean is a spectacular spot for breakfast.
Things that could be improved: bedding and linens seem old and very used, and even though there are many beds, none are comfortable. I think this could be an easy upgrade that would elevate the experience by a lot. There are also things that are broken and duct taped together… like the rail on the top bunk (scary - kids didn’t want to sleep there) and parts of the fridge.
The house is quirky for sure. There is a lot of art, a lot of light, and you can hear the ocean from everywhere. And even with its outdated sleeping accommodations, it was lovely.
Another note on the location. This area is essentially a beach vacation community. There isn’t anything else to do nearby. The general store is very overpriced and limited - we regretted not bringing the basic groceries with us. The town of Tomales 10 mins away has a little more to it (good bakery and coffee) but that’s about it.

We really enjoyed our stay and would book again but have a few minor suggestions. It’s a little odd to find other peoples belongings - some food items in fridge including prescription eye medications, and personal toiletries in the bathrooms and drawers. Some more comfortable beds would be nice too (they were really hard!). Furnishings adequate but pretty dated. But these minor things can be overlooked given the stunning deck and view! Those were unbeatable! So awesome to prepare meals in the kitchen and see the water and hear the waves while looking out the kitchen window and seeing deer saunter by!
FYI. The trail 2 houses down IS challenging as described but I am 48 and overweight and I was able to handle it with minimal struggle. And it was worth it!

The house was warm and fun with all the decor. The view was incredible! Hard to beat sitting on a deck with unobstructed views of the ocean and beach. Listing and pictures are accurate. Great home! My family had a lot of fun staying here.

We had the best time ever. Most awesome views, the ocean being right there to hear the crashing waves. Beautiful sunsets. The deer being all around, especially at sunrise and sunset. The house had so much character. Very special home. Thank you so much for sharing!

This home felt like my long lost family cabin. Art and crafts everywhere. I love the eclectic feeling throughout. Very well thought out and put together. And you can feel the residual love of the owners radiating from the walls. Thank you for letting us share it! What a wonderful memory!

This house is obviously well-loved by the owners and their family, but the house is not well-kept. Thank goodness for the deck, the view, and the waves. which are five star. The house smelled strongly of mold when we arrived. Even though we took over an hour to air it out and left windows open, the smell never completely stopped. I had to use an asthma inhalers all three days we were there. The art and collectibles are wonderful and fun. But the furniture, carpets, and rugs are tattered and dirty. The living room has two futons, a day bed, and a chair. All but the chair face AWAY from the spectacular views and are quite uncomfortable for sitting. The kitchen was very poorly equipped in terms of pots and pans. Some items had to be re-washed before we could use them. The curtains throughout the living room are dirty and stained. The bed in the master bedroom was okay to sleep on. We didn't use the other ones because we were only two people. After we booked, we learned that we had to bring our own sheets and towels because of the drought and covid. Having to bring sheets was not a thrill! Nor the cleanup after we got home. I would have appreciated this information BEFORE we booked. With some tender loving care, a deep cleaning, good living room furniture, and clean rugs, the house could be a winner. But right now, it seems dingy, slightly dirty, and very moldy.

Gorgeous location, access to a fantastic beach, the kitchen is well-appointed. Everyone from the 6 year old to the 73 year old loved it. Relaxed and fun decor. We hope to be back.

We keep coming back to this rental property because of the beach front location, size of the house, & hot tub overlooking the ocean. Dillon Beach is such a sleepy town, & we love feeling safe enough to leave the window open at night to listen to the crashing waves. Saw lots of deer by the house & whales at Bodega Head. Since we went in the spring, the hills were a glorious green peppered with farm animals. Loved walking along the shore to Lawson's Landing, as did the dogs enjoy being off leash & running freely. It's always great to come here to refresh & rejuvenate.

The location of this property is perfect for a northern California beach experience. The views of the ocean and beach are unobstructed and spectacular. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, with easy beach access. This house is interesting, quirky and mostly fun. It also needs a good cleaning, new mattresses, new shower enclosures and some plumbing repairs. Of course, after doing that the rental rate would increase. On balance, a very good experience.

Great location and wonderful views. Deck on 3 sides and upstairs bedrooms can access it. Plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable. Also appreciated the toys, games, and books available for all ages.

Just what we like. Room for 10 people. Not modern. Perfect view of the beach, and easy to get to beach.

My family had a wonderful time at this property. The view was stunning and we loved how we could see it from both inside and outside on the wrap around deck. We felt cozy and comfortable except that the beds were too hard for our liking. We never got tired of looking at all the interesting artwork. We really liked that the table was big enough for all of us to fit around comfortably for eating and playing games together. Our daily strolls on the beach we’re Beautiful and we enjoyed the hiking trails that were nearby. I don’t know OK

the views were breathtaking, the location prefect, off the beaten path so not crowded. the décor was a bit odd but was interesting to look at. The beds were way to hard for me but my husband loved it so I guess a matter of tasteCould of used better/bigger pots and pans, I was surprised there was not a lot of big pans for cooking as this place could house up to ten people. Over all had a great time. Were all ready planning a return trip.
