\"Wind Song\" Dillon Beach Ocean View Property-Private Yard.
About this house rental
Located in Dillon Beach, this charming house for $325 per night is a great option for your next break. Dillon Beach is one of the last accessible bastions of peace and tranquility that you'll find anywhere on the California Coast. This remote, albeit centrally located community, is situated about one hour north of San Francisco. It is just a few miles off Highway 1 at the 'end of the road,' nestled in the rolling coastal foothills of Marin County. You will pass through the historic town of Tomales (named for the 'Tomal' Indians). Be sure to visit the Tomales History center and the William Tell House Restaurant. Sample early morning treats from the Tomales Bakery and Deli, all seen in the 2001 motion picture 'Bandits.' Our home is located four miles west of Tomales in the original little village area of Dillon Beach, and just two easy-walking blocks from the long, sandy beach. The house is very comfortable, accommodating a maximum of eight people. We welcome families with children but request that the party securing the rental be at least 25 years old. Built in 1940, our family home has been remodeled and upgraded to fulfill everyone's comfort zone. Because 'Wind Song' has been in the family for over 60 years, you will enjoy the many personal touches and photos of the past - creating a hospitable atmosphere and a feeling of being at home. From the bright and sunny living/dining room with ocean views, to the privacy of our beautiful little back yard where you can enjoy morning coffee while watching the birds feed and bathe, Wind Song will provide you with all the ingredients for solitude, relaxation, reflection and just plain fun. Visit the many antique shops in nearby Petaluma and Sebastopol. Play golf one-half hour away at Bodega Bay, or visit their quaint shops. On Friday's, you can visit the University of California Marine Biology Center and learn everything you have every wanted to know about lobsters and other marine life in the area. Have dinner in one of the many wonderful restaurants frequented by the locals. Visit the Dillon Beach Café for a taste of local cuisine and the regulars. Take a drive to the surrounding wineries and do a little tasting. Drive down the bay and purchase fresh oysters; eat them on site at the Tomales Bay Oyster Company or the Hog Island Oyster Company, both at the water's edge, or bring them back to Wind Song and barbeque them out on the deck (recipe posted on our bulletin board). Spend the day walking the beach to the fishing pier, or head up to the tide pools at the opposite end of the beach. Top off your day with a late (and very safe) evening walk through the village enjoying the fragrances of the sea and sand, and look back at the warm glow of the lighted homes up on the hillsides. We invite you to visit us and share the experience. You will be amazed how easy it is to step back in time at Dillon Beach. WE ENJOY KNOWING THAT PEOPLE WHO SHARE OUR HOME SHARE OUR LOVE OF THE COAST. WE ALWAYS ALLOW EARLY CHECK-IN/ - LATE CHECK-OUT TIMES WHENEVER POSSIBLE AT NO EXTRA CHARGE.

Our last minute impulsive Thanksgiving plan was spectacular! Communication with our host was effortless. This home is rich with history. We've rented many vacation homes and most seem sterile and empty in so many ways. This home is like visiting an old friend and the warmness of the original family ownership shined through. The kitchen has updated appliances despite its outdated look. It has everything you need to cook and season your food. The beds are comfortable and the bedrooms are super quiet and dark. The remodeled full size bathroom is beautiful. The whole house is super clean. The views of the ocean are limited yet lovely with the framing of the quaint original village cottages. We loved the short walk to the beach. And our dog was in heaven! A good time was had by all. We would return to this home. Thank you!

Loved the layout of this place. The kids' room downstairs is far from any living room chatter. The windows in the living room are the only windows you'll really want, just perfect. Bathroom is modern while the rest of the house feels like a place with many memories and a lot of character. We really enjoyed our stay.

My family and I have rented a house at Dillon beach every year for the last 5 or more years and this year we forgot to book a home! Thankfully Wind song was available and oh my gosh it was perfect! The second you walk in you feel at home! We've stayed in other beach homes that were newer and remodeled inside but this one was very homie, comfortable, very clean and fit all our needs! The updated bathroom is beautiful btw. We will definitely stay here again because even aside from the house being great, Marilyn was THE sweetest and best! There's something to say about VRBO's that have the owners handling the property instead of a property management. Property managements make everything feel so transactional! But Marilyn was the complete opposite. Staying there just makes you feel like part of their family. It's a really great home, I wish more VRBO owners handled their own properties like this family ❤️

I flew in from Austin, Texas, to visit my 5 friends from Santa Rosa for my 50th Birthday weekend. We had such a great time at the Wind Song! It was the perfect vacation spot. The house was cozy & fit the 6 of us comfortably and the location was wonderful! We enjoyed walking to Dillon Beach every day and through the lovely neighborhood. It was easy to communicate with the owner & the house was very clean and easy to clean before we left. We all highly recommend it and we'll definitely be back!

My family and I absolutely loved our stay at Dillon's Beach. The home was perfect in fact. What sparks this review, is the egregious charge of for an extra cleaning fee after we left. Please note, that there is already a charge incorporated in original fees. If you choose to stay here, please read the cleaning requirements to letter! We were assessed an additional large fee for overloading the dishwasher, not taking out the recyclables, having a mattress pad inter-mixed in the basket with the used sheets and not taking out the bathroom trash bag (i.e. a small bag and which had feminine products in it). Quite honestly, my family and I treated the home like it was our own. It truly upsets my stomach just thinking how we were treated in response because of some super basic oversight. I personally reached out to the owners and gave them my cell number to try and talk it through to no avail. She was basically rude and said that I was full of excuses. Her quote to me on the used feminine product in the trash is that "her cleaning staff should not have to look at that." Super super bummed!!! I wish I didn't have to even entertain this negative review.

Well-outfitted cabin, nice big living room with great views. Comfortable beds. Electric wall heaters work well. In the desirable main village so walkable to beach and store, which is not the case with some of the mega-mansions up on the hill. Recommended!

What a sweet house in one of our favorite places to be! This house has such a cozy feel with a whole lot of love pumped into it. I love how close it is to the beach!! We usually stay up the hill but being in the village is so nice, especially with little kids. Parking with multiple vehicles can be a bit tricky but thankfully we had some in our group that we’re ok with walking to their cars parked around the corner. Make sure to bring your own beach towels! Thank you again for sharing your home!

The house was great. Plenty of bedrooms and the kitchen is really well stocked with dishes and basic cooking utensils. The only thing I wish they had was a washer and dryer. It would have been nice to run a load of towels while we were there.
