The stay was great! Our family had an amazing time. Great views and comfortable facility. Entertainment rooms for the kids. One minor unavoidable issue was the house had a lot of noise at night from the wind causing some rattling in the fireplace upstairs and the sliding door upstairs. Not anyone’s fault at all but could bother light sleepers. Host sent out the check in and check out materials and the visitors guide which were all extremely helpful and well organized. Wonderful stay and would recommend and book again.

Most things were fine. The kitchen needs to be cleaned out of the old worn out pots and pans, it’s a jumble don’t know where things belong and honestly they don’t look safe to cook in. There are all kinds of utensils and spoons and little doodads that need to go.

Reviewer Comments:
The house was comfortable and had beautiful views. It was well stocked with kitchen, bathroom and linen items. Only a couple of call outs for the rental agency to be aware: there were fruit flies, the pool cues were missing tips and the kitchen island corner panel.was broken (unglued). Other than that, everything was in great shape.

This was our first time booking a vacation rental. The house was as listed. Beautiful clean home with plenty of amenities. The pool table in the garage was a hit. And the sunsetting into the ocean from the back porch was amazing. Thank you for amazing time celebrating a 50th birthday.

We had a wonderful time in Dillon Beach with our group of 12! The kids really enjoyed the hot tub, PlayStation, pool table, and sharing the bunk room together. It had a nice amount of seating for meals and playing games. The house is located on top of the hill above the beach and has beautiful views of the area. While it was a little too far and steep of a walk for our littles, it only took a few minutes to drive to the beach. We also enjoyed driving into Bodega Bay to explore other beaches and do a little shopping. Nice getaway to the coast!
The house was thoughtfully laid out and very clean. Plenty of spaces for smaller groups with a kitchen, dining, and living space large enough for the whole family. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We spent Friendsgiving here and loved the views and projector for a cozy weekend in. The trail to the beach near to the house was STUNNING. Highly recommend going if you stay here and the weather is nice.

It was a great location and served us well. The spaces were perfect for our needs. The garage had a pool table and ice hockey game which were fun to play. There is a wonderful walk along the cliffs a short distance from the house. There needed to be more hand towels bath towels and pillow cases for the 10 of us staying in the house. We could have used more cleaning supplies.. we had a mouse problem in the kitchen. The hot tub cover needs some refurbishing and repair.
Beautiful home, lovely location, wonderful extended family time
This home was just what our extended family of 10 had hoped for. The property management was excellent, too!

Our family had a great time and built wonderful memories. We especially loved the quiet street and beautiful surroundings to the home ❤️ The home was beautiful and spacious. The only downside, being a pet friendly rental, there are urine smells in some carpets and rooms in the home. Overall we loved our stay. Thank you!

Thank you for your feedback. Carpet cleaners sent in. The guests before your arrival had a pup and they checked out the day you checked in. Sorry that was missed but taken care of now.

I stayed here with 11 other family members and this house was perfect for us. The community is still pretty private so it was a nice getaway for us. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone asking for a nice relaxing getaway that was perfect for my big family.

A great escape from the heat. Easy access to the dog-friendly beach. A well stocked, tastefully appointed property. A refreshing change from properties with overabundant marine decor. A kid-friendly house as well. A quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Enjoyed seeing many deer. Very close by. We will return in the future.
