About this property
Sundog Cottage - Clean & Cozy - EV - Walk to Food & Beach - Fenced Yard for Dog
Stocked with the best and often forgotten essentials so you can arrive as you would to your own family beach house. We want you to be at home at Sundog the moment you pull into the driveway.
Cozy, clean and great vibe! This updated (Solar battery backup) cottage with a modern retro flair is in a very walkable location near the General Store, Coastal Kitchen, and main beach access. It is a sleepier section of the village with pastoral views from the fully fenced backyard and if you go to the far left corner of the front deck, depending on the growth of the trees down there, you get a peekaboo view of the ocean. There's even a doggy door for your (smaller) furry friend.
We've made the most of this sweet cottage, and it has an open feel and romantic, comfortable decor.
Each bedroom has a Queen bed.
Solar back up keeps the power on out here, and you know that's a big giant PERK.
ABOUT DOGS:
We LOVE DOGS (madly, I tell you) and are determined to be able to host them too, however we do have insurance restrictions on breeds (check if yours is a high profile breed), and limit two 2 dogs (3 if they're leeeetle) and 4 people max.
Backyard is fully fenced and secure with a charcoal BBQ grill, and picnic table. The birds are almost always singing here.
Front deck is huge, with Adirondack chairs and a a pup gate to keep everyone contained. We have the beach chairs, towels, umbrella, blanket, toys and all the things to make you happy down there in the sand.
We are clean and peaceful and serene, and hope that is what draws you in to stay with us!
Other things to note No smoking (anywhere on the premises). Please clean up after Fido.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The place is very cute and cozy. A nice little walk to the beach. The bed was incredible! The price for 1 night was a little crazy, but otherwise it was lovely.
Our stay was lovely! The location was perfect to walk down to the beach, the interior was so cute and the beds were very comfy. We would definitely choose to stay again with our dog and 2 teenage daughters!
Adorable beach cottage, sweet backyard makes it easy to have a dog with you. The linens are divine and the beds comfy. Great, private location with a big deck. And… Valerie is an excellent host!
Loved our stay at Sundog Cottage. It was a short walk to the beach and had everything we needed for our getaway. The host was wonderful, communication was great, and so accommodating! Highly recommend!
This cottage is so incredibly cozy, clean, and lovely. Our family had the best time! Love that we can easily walk down to the beach for the day! The Owner is beyond nice! We cant wait to stay in the beautiful home again!!!
Wonderful renovated beach cottage walking distance to Dillon Beach. Host was great with communication(like conversing with a friend), bedding was divine, home was clean and photos matched the listing. Loved walking the dogs to the beach multiple times a day and kitchen had everything we needed to craft meals. It is obvious host has put a lot of love into making sure guests are comfortable with gorgeous touches throughout like chocolates on the nightstands. Will absolutely be back!!
The place is an easy walk to the beach. Our 1 year old lab had an epic adventure. House is well stocked and quiet. We felt very refreshed after our visit. Thanks to Valerie for good communication throughout our stay.
The property was wonderful. The Sundog cottage is adorable with all the amenities needed for a great stay with kids and pets. As an added bonus the property is close to the beach which is just a short walk away and the beach is dog friendly.
This cottage was so cute! So close to the beach, super comfortable beds, and Valerie was an awesome host! This is a must stay if you are looking for a place in Dillon beach
Sundog Cabin was so enjoyable. From the minute we walked in, to a clean and ready cabin, to the last day of our stay. We loved the fully decorated cabin, and enjoyed the backyard as well as the front deck. We cooked all our meals in, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed!! There were plenty of towels, soaps, and paper products. Dillon beach is in walking distance, as well as the Coastal Kitchen Restaurant and a well stocked local store. All very convenient. We had our golden retriever with us, who also enjoyed the cabin. Thank you, Valerie for making our stay very enjoyable.
Really enjoyed my stay at the Sundog Cottage. Host was super friendly, generous and communicative. She made me and my dog feel very welcome! Location is great and an easy walk to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!
We loved our stay at Sundog Cottage and plan to visit again soon! This beach house community is really peaceful and our place was cute, clean and welcoming.
Beautiful beach cottage - even better than the photos. Well stocked, clean and great decor! Love the front deck - sun all day. Valerie is a wonderful host - great communication! We will be back for sure!
Lovely long weekend at Dillon Beach. The Sunday cottage was conveniently located, clean and well appointed. We loved the afternoon sun on the front porch and the overall zen energy of the place. It was very dog friendly, and Olive the corgi enjoyed her stay as well. Valerie was a practice communicator and her helpful. We would definitely stay again!
Cottage was exactly as advertised - cozy space for four with very comfortable beds and linens. Small kitchen but outfitted well for cooking/baking. Short walk to beach and nearby restaurant and general store. Owner had great communication! Loved our stay!
What an amazing place to stay when you visit Dillon Beach! Lovely cottage, great property owner, and a wonderful location. We will definitely be back!!

About the host
Hosted by Valerie
I'm the writer of stories, scripts, and songs. Sometimes they get heard, read, and sung. * Connecting with others and providing a personal touch is something that falls within my top strengths, and I'm beyond excited to have a way of exercising these strengths as a host. We also LIVE right here at Dillon Beach and are available to you for spur of the moment questions, directions, and recommendations! * We dream of a world that comes together in unity. Where all are included and none despised. So rather than just dream about it, we made our own little space among the big space, and called it The Sundog. * Fun fact: We care for orphans and special needs children in India, as well as provide clean drinking water in villages that have none. In this way we peacefully contribute to the world, and your stay with us will contribute there as well.
Why they chose this property
Sundog is not just a quick "pack it in and turn it over over" vacation rental. We are neighbors, and deeply love our little treasure of a community.
The house is precious. It just feels "different" . Better, somehow. Like, a best friend.
We want to make sure The Sundog is what you are looking for in a space just as much as making sure you are a good fit for The Sundog.
What makes this property unique
Fenced Yard Doggy Door Baby Gate (to block the stairs out on the deck) Junior Ping Pong Table (in the closet) A host that lives a few minutes away and is willing to bring over anything extra we have that may not be in a standard rental. "Do you have an egg? A cuppa sugar?"
While you're here, you're our neighbors.
Welcome to Dillon Beach, here's a casserole.
