Why This Home Stands Out Northern Lights is built for groups who want as much fun at the house as they have exploring the coast. Ocean views and a private hot tub set the scene, while a full-size pool table, projector theater with surround sound, and multiple gathering spaces keep everyone entertained. Two King bedrooms add another big plus for multi-family trips and couples traveling together.
Living Spaces The spacious open living area brings everyone together with comfortable seating, ocean views, a fireplace, and plenty of room to relax. When it’s movie time, the projector theater and surround sound turn a night at home into part of the vacation.
Kitchen & Dining The fully equipped kitchen features breakfast-bar seating and a large farmhouse dining table with room for group meals. Fire up the gas BBQ and take dinner outside for fresh coastal air and ocean views.
BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Primary Suite — King Bed A spacious King suite with private fireplace, TV, and ensuite bathroom.
Bedroom 2 — King Bed A comfortable King bedroom with direct hot tub access.
Bedroom 3 — Queen Bed A welcoming Queen bedroom for additional guests.
Bedroom 4 — Bunk Bed + Trundle Bed A flexible sleeping space with a bunk bed, trundle, and desk area.
Bonus Sleeping Area — Two Fold-Out Futons Provides additional sleeping flexibility for larger groups.
Bathrooms Two full bathrooms and one half bathroom provide added convenience for up to 12 guests. The primary suite includes its own private ensuite bathroom.
Game & Entertainment Space Challenge the crew to a pool tournament on the full-size table, settle in for a movie on the projector theater with surround sound, or break out the indoor and outdoor games. Multiple gathering spaces give kids and adults room to find their own fun—especially welcome on cool or rainy coastal days.
Outdoor Living Start the morning with coffee and ocean views, spend the day exploring Dillon Beach, then return home for a relaxed evening by the Pacific. Grill dinner on the gas BBQ, dine outside, watch sunset from the deck, and finish the night with a private hot-tub soak. Multiple outdoor gathering spaces give larger groups plenty of room to enjoy the coastal setting together.

Beautiful, ample property with spectacular views and great interior lighting. Quiet neighborhood (which we loved) with HOA requirements (no off-street parking allowed). Well-stocked kitchen and plenty of fun games and activities to do on the property (pool table, darts, air hockey, hot tub, party games and puzzles). Close, but steep road access down to Dillon Beach. It was a perfect location for our family reunion of three generations. Highly recommend.

Thanks so much for your wonderful review! We're so glad your family enjoyed the open layout, spacious dining table, and those amazing views. It's great to hear the kitchen had everything you needed for your stay.
We're also happy we were able to catch you in time about the parking pass, it all worked out! Thank you for being such great guests, and we truly appreciate your kind words about our team.
We'd love to welcome you back for another family getaway in the future!
The house was great. Very accurately described and also great views. The decor is so cute! The couches are comfy and the vibe is comfy! Amenities were great, towels, beach toys, there is a pool table in the garage, hot tub. The kitchen was so nice! There were extra sheets and towels! And it was so nice to have a fan in each room as white noise or to get some extra air, such a nice touch! The notes everywhere really helped. Also the game collection was fantastic. Also the kids room with toys was so nice!! I do feel like this host went above and beyond to make this house feel special. I would recommend that the cleaners get under the couches/beds and in the nooks and crannies! It was a little dirty in areas. The stairs are super creaky, but in addition to that the bed upstairs was super creaky. I don’t know if those things can be fixed but it made for a rough night of sleep.
Northern lights was great! A good house to share with friends and family. Beautiful views, great location, a good kitchen to share meals, and a fun hot tub.

Lovely home in Dillon Beach!! Great kitchen/main room, nice bedrooms. Functional kitchen and relaxing hot tub. Easy 30 minute drive to Bodega Bay. Only negative -- WAY too many restrictions and communication from the management company. The binder was 40 pages. Everything was "DON'T DO THIS" or "XYZ NOT ALLOWED." Because everything had rules, it diluted which rules actually mattered and the interpretation is that they had been burned by messy/rowdy groups before, and therefore swung the pendulum back too far the other way. We had a running joke over the weekend and a betting pool on what the final fine would be (purely based on the fact that it seems impossible to stay there without incurring some sort of fine). It cut into how relaxed you can feel staying there.

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.

Thank you for the great review of Northern Lights! We are glad you found it well laid out, clean, and spacious!
We look forward to hosting you again!
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.

We are so happy to hear you had a great time! Yes there can be some sounds as it can be windy out there, you were wonderful guests and hope to host you again!
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.

Hi Juan, thanks so much for your review! I'm glad that Northern Lights was the perfect fit for you and your family! It is a great property for a large family gathering like yours. You were wonderful guests and we hope to host you again sometime soon!
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.
