As Advertised - Beautiful Place to be

The property was as advertised. The house was beautiful and clean. I'd highly recommend it to others. However, the Wifi and TV's did not work. But our whole idea was to escape both of those, so mission accomplished! :-)

Great location for a peaceful 3-night getaway. We’ve spent time in the area but never in Dillon Beach. Would definitely come again. The house was ideal for us, our son and daughter in law. Plenty of space to be together but also room to spread out. It’s a relatively steep road to the beach so we drove. Our dog loved being off leash. The trundle bed is in an alcove next to the upstairs bedroom. It’s great for a kid or someone else who is comfortable sleeping fairly close to the bedroom. The foldout couch is on the lowest level which would probably be good for a third couple. The two bathrooms are on the main floor with the primary bedroom, kitchen and living area. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking, serving and eating materials. There are a few “leftover” spices and a drip coffee maker. While we would readily come back, there are a few things that could be addressed in a property at this price point. The main draw is the view. But one big window is damaged. Other windows looked like they could use cleaning. Some of the window coverings need replacement. The dryer was filled with laundry. The closets had lots of stuff piled in them. These were all small nits but addressing them would make this place a solid 5.

Home was very well appointed. It comes with just about everything you need to cook in. Weekend getaway was everything we were hoping for and the house was a major factor in our enjoyment. Highly recommend this property.

Great place to hangout with family and enjoy the ocean and mountain views

The house is well stocked for hanging out, cooking, relaxing, and quality family time. We enjoyed having three separate levels of sleeping options. The appointments and furnishings are casual and not fussy which was as advertised and worked fine for us. The area in general offers great walks/hikes including more remote coastline trails.

Awesome house. Great location and incredible views!

We had a wonderful experience staying here. As seasoned home cooks, we found the kitchen really well-stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. The house was immaculate when we arrived and provided all the basics (clean bedding, towels, hand soap). Just remember to bring your toiletries when you come because there aren’t many places around to buy them. We thought the distance to the beach was a little less, so also be prepared to drive (it’s a 4 min drive or so) if you’re planning to bring a lot of beach equipment. House is very spacious which was nice, and the sunset views from the big windows were amazing! Highly recommend.

Weekend Stay

We live in the area and enjoy Dillon Beach. The views of the ocean and of the bay from are great - perfect for sunset. Comfortable furnishings in a very cozy house. Good communication with the manager. Easy check-in. One note: the listing says there is construction "up the hill." To be more specific, the construction is on the lot next door to the property right outside the kitchen and main level bedroom windows. It doesn't block the ocean view, but the construction is level with the house since they have excavated the hill to make a level area to build a home. Fortunately the very loud construction/heavy equipment noise ended by midday on Saturday, and there is no construction on Sunday. There is also construction way up the hill/road. But we did not hear any noise from that. Just something to keep in mind.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us for the weekend. We cleaned it, including vacuuming up any dog hair from our really calm, well-behaved dog, Elin. She is not allowed on any furniture or beds. We have been coming to Dillon Beach for 40 years and love the relaxing atmosphere!

Great views!

This was a great property for my family. We had what we needed in the kitchen - lots of games and towels too. We didn’t try the TV, but everything else worked well! The only surprise was that the furniture in the main living room did not match what was in the photos. But it was all nice and mostly as advertised. We really enjoyed our time here!

Comfortable house in great location

We came to Dillon Beach to celebrate our sister's 50th wedding anniversary. The location was excellent; we could walk up the hill to their house in 10 minutes. The house is furnished very nicely and very well equipped. The beds were comfortable. The only drawback is that the two bathrooms are both on the same floor. One is in the master suite, the other in the hallway. That meant that the couple staying in the upstairs room had to come downstairs, while the person staying in the lower level had to come upstairs to use the bathroom. For people in their seventies, this means one or more times a night. It's not an issue for younger people, and the house was otherwise lovely, charming, and well-equipped (except for tissues; bring your own).

Beautiful place

We came to relax and celebrate my 65th birthday. The house is beautiful and the view is amazing. Loved how peaceful and relaxing the area was. We had deer, hares and quail walking through the yard, which we really enjoyed. The beach was a joy to visit. This house has everything you need for a great visit. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you would need. Would definitely recommend.
