Romantic, Dramatic Views! Full calendar https://www.vrbo.com/81742?dateless=true



Marin Co Short Term Renal license P5212

The 13th of Summer is a romantic get-away or a comfy family holiday cottage on the Marin/Sonoma coast. Be awed!

Note: the deck is secure for my 11 lb Maltese dog Sally Rose. The yard is not fenced. The pet fee is $50

Dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean, waves rushing up the shore. Grand sunsets from hug picture windows or even better from the deck with a glass of wine!

It's just a short five minute stroll to the beach.

When not watching sunsets or the sea, guests can enjoy the household surroundings. The cottage is filled with original paintings and sculpture by local artists. No need to work at a wood burning fire. An environmentally conscience gas burning stove is romantic for that fire-wood stove look, warmth and ambiance. The energy efficient gas heater keeps the cottage cozy.

Take a nap; watch the waves.! The westerly living room has an extra long down filled sofa, huge soft chair w/ ottoman and oak rocker. Lots of lamps make reading and close work enjoyable. The view is wonderful. The easterly sitting area is a cozy conversation or media area and has an overstuffed chair with ottoman and love seat.

An induction range and a refrigerator are in the kitchen. From the sink is a view of the front garden and from the stove, the sea. ATT phone service includes the continental USA is in the kitchen and master bedroom. Mircrowave, blender, food processor, Kenmore mixer, rice cooker, stick blender, toaster

New smart TV

The master bedroom has a queen size bed, blue leather wingback chair and oak dresser. Reading the paper, drinking coffee, and watching birds scamper along the shore make staying tucked in under the down comforter a morning pleasure.

The knotty pine bedroom has a queen bed and twin bed, antique oak dresser and upholster high-back chair. When standing by the windows, the bay and Bodega Head can be enjoyed. Beach chairs and blanket are in this closet

Upstairs and between the two bedrooms is a half-bath with sink and toilet.

Downstairs is the full bath with shower, toilet, sink,and, of course, a great view of the ocean.

The deck provides a great area to relax with teak chaise lounges, table and chair for taking in the view. A cozy and comfortable dining area with the grand Pacific Ocean before you makes inside dining a delight.

The comfy cottage at 13 Summer will reward you with romance and relaxation!

Check in is 4pm and check out is 11am. Note: there is pet fee of $50 for one large dog or two small dogs.

Parking is very limited in Dillon Beach. The cement drive-way along the south side of the house will accommodate one sedan or SUV. Non reserved parking is allowed across the street along the cement retaining wall. I ask that guests let me know ahead of time if they plan to plug in their electric..

Overnight guests are limited to 5 people.

This home is very clean and well decorated! The book collection made me want to simply stay in and read! Pet friendly was very important as our older dog may not have a lot of trips left! Highly recommend this location, easy access to the store and beach, off street parking and the hostess was amazing with communication. The time on the back deck included great sunsets and ocean views. We plan to return!

This property exceeded all our expectations! The proximity to Dillon beach for our pups was incredible! Super easy check in and the leaving instructions were what I would normally do for a friend’s house. The owner is super nice and most of all attentive to any of our needs or questions!!! We are definitely coming back. Only 5 stars is the best but I give this 100 stars!!!

Host was so very welcoming. We arrived to champagne and homemade chocolates to celebrate my friend's birthday. All very tidy and directions were clear and located where relevant. We had lovely weather and were very busy so we didn't use heat or grill, but all was clean and easy to locate. Thank you, Cherry!

Cherry has always been a charming and gracious host. My brother and I with our wives were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversaries, and Cherry provided the usual chocolate candies for both families as well as a nice bottle of champagne. As always, the place was clean and prepared for guests.
