About this house rental

Nestled in Dillon Beach, this lovely house for £275 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. This spacious 3 Bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 2100+ Sq. foot hillside home has three levels and panoramic ocean and beach views from most rooms. Designed in 1978 by Gualala, CA architect Richard Perkins, in the "Sea Ranch" style, the home is designed and equipped for simple, relaxed comfort and to maximize the view while integrating with the natural setting. The house is well maintained but we have intentionally kept it true to its original design. Situated just above a beautiful rock formation and large open space area, the house is a great spot to watch the local wildlife. The house and furnishings are clean, serene, natural, relaxed, and comfortable. This hillside home is a tri-level house with the main (Center) level at ground floor from the front entrance. It's easiest to understand the home by understanding the levels: Main Level (Ground Floor) The main level includes an open plan living/dining and adjacent kitchen. This level also includes a master bedroom with king bed, divided bath, and sunroom. The sunroom is our favorite spot in the house to curl up and read a book or watch the surfers or constantly changing sky. If you are a couple staying alone, you would probably never leave the main level. If there is anyone in your party who has difficulty with stairs, this level will work great for them (there are just 2 steps into the house from the driveway). There are stunning ocean and beach views from the living/dining area, kitchen, master bedroom, and sunroom. Upstairs Loft: Overlooking the living area is a loft with a queen-size bed and a half bath (toilet and sink). This loft is open to the room below (with a half-height solid wall providing visual privacy). The loft is a cozy place with lovely views of Tomales Bay and Dunes out the south window and views to Bodega Head out the north window. Lower Level: One floor below the main level is another private bedroom with a queen bed and ocean views. The lower level also has a family room with two new sleeper sofas that open to full size beds. For extra comfort, there are two fold up memory foam mattress toppers that you can put on top of the open sleeper sofas. The family room also has ocean views, a wood burning stove, and includes a table with four chairs for playing games or doing puzzles. This room is great for kids and teens. And, because it's close to the ground, it's a great spot for watching deer and looking for bunnies who sometimes appear at the edge of the shrubs. This level includes a full bath (with walk-in shower) and a covered deck with three adirondack chairs. The deck is accessible from the private bedroom and the family room. Beach Access: The house is situated about halfway up the Oceana Marin hillside overlooking Dillon Beach. The beach is walking distance down the hill from the house (about a 10 min walk downhill, but it's a more rigorous walk back up...it's a good workout). If you have little kids, older people, anyone not comfortable with negotiating a steep beach access, or a lot of stuff, using the Dillon Beach Resort parking lot right on the beach (for a small fee) is a good choice. You can save your walking for the beach. (Make sure you go all the way to the south end which rewards you with a gorgeous view down Tomales bay and out to sea). Or even better, at the end of the beach, walk in-land through the camping area and climb one of the most beautiful dunes in Northern California.

We spent Christmas 2018 here, and my whole family was eager to return for this past Christmas (2019). I think it was even better than our first visit. There was a herd of deer that came by on several occasions, adding to the charm of the property. My daughter said that the futons were made more comfortable than on our first visit. There was a plentiful supply of towels and toilet paper. For us, it's a perfect place for our family to be together comfortably for Christmas.

We had a wonder time and I will definitely stay here again. You could hear the ocean from the bedroom. Amazing. Close to shopping and food. Thanks again!

The home was comfortable. The kitchen was great and well stocked. Views of the entire beach were great. Deer and birds of prey were cool to see up close. There is no trail to the beach. It’s basically a deer trail and the community security guard stopped us and said don’t use the trails because it’s private property, there are ticks, snakes and field lice. You have to drive because there are no sidewalk in the subdivision and there’s basically no shoulder to the road either. The property is not ideal for anyone with mobility issues because the loft and ground floor have steep stairs. For dogs, there’s no place to take them to walk or pee other than the overgrown and steep hillside of property. The home looked clean but I found a used tissue in the bed the first night. We moved the couch to find a puzzle piece and there was a bunch of old popcorn under the couch. I understand it’s difficult to keep windows clean on a beach property, but the film on the windows obscured the view. They are old aluminum windows that were very difficult to open and close. All in all, the home was spacious and fairly comfortable. Cons: You have to pay to park when you drive to the beach— $10 per day. There was only 1.5 rolls of paper towels and a single dish towel. The home could have been cleaner. You have to pick up and drop off the key at the manager’s house in the village. The grass was overgrown so you couldn’t really enjoy walking out front because the ground is uneven and you couldn’t see where you were stepping. Other reviews mention the steep driveway which we had no problem with. The price makes this a decent value, but a discriminating vacationer would probably pay more to be closer to the beach in a home that’s been cleaned and landscaped with more care.

Loved this relaxed spot at Dillon Beach. The view was incredible, especially from the enclosed patio where you can watch the beach and the stars. Sue was extremely diligent and easy to deal with. We would come back!

The experience overall was awesome. The property is great and really enjoyed our stay. The board game selection was a nice surprise. Some things to note for anyone considering this property. 1) The driveway is steep and you may bottom out your car, or have trouble with wheel slippage while exiting. My car is probably lower than average but still stock. If you pull in as close to the bushes as possible you shouldn't bottom out. But I had trouble backing out because the tires kept slipping. 2) Bring the majority of the food with you. The general store doesn't have a ton of options and they close at 5pm. The next closest store is 5 miles away and closes at 6 pm. The next closest store is 20 miles away and closes at 8pm. Lessons learned. The view was awesome and you can't beat the short distance to the beach. $10 all day parking. We would definitely do it again.
