Excellent location. Great home. We had a bit of trouble with the shower not having enough pressure and it was low. We are y'all people 5'o-6'4 and the queen bed was small and felt a little rickety. But it was a very clean home with lovely views which we loved.

Cannot say enough about how kind Linda was regarding check-in. House was super clean with many games and TV’s to keep you entertained. View of the ocean slightly obstructed by other houses and wiring but sitting on either deck reading a book was great. Only problem we had was the fire alarm went off each time we cooked but remedied that by opening all the windows upstairs.

This was our first stay at Dillon beach and we couldn’t have been happier staying at this beautiful location. The home is nice and cozy with all the amenities, and the host was kind enough to include disposable cookware for our use for thanksgiving. The village and store were wonderful, everyone was so friendly! We will definitely be back.

Dog hair on the bed. House was very noise.

Response from VrboOwner on Jan 25, 2026
We were surprised by this review, as no concerns were communicated to us during your stay. Had any issues been brought to our attention, we would have addressed them immediately. Regarding the claim of dog hair on the bed, we complete a walkthrough prior to every guest arrival and did not observe dog hair on any of the beds before check-in. After your departure, dog hair was found on a bed, and since a pet accompanied your stay, it is reasonable to conclude that this occurred during your visit. We have never previously received a complaint regarding noise at this property and are unclear as to what noise is being referenced. We stand by our cleaning and inspection procedures and encourage guests to report any concerns during their stay so they can be promptly addressed.
