About Breaking Waves Ocean views, slow mornings, and sunset strolls! Breaking Waves is a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath bluff-top cottage for 4 with panoramic Pacific views, a wraparound ocean-view deck, and a beach trail about a 5-minute walk away. Explore Dillon Beach, Tomales Bay, Point Reyes, and Highway 1, or simply settle in and watch the waves roll toward shore. Perfect for couples, small families, girls’ getaways, and friends craving a peaceful coastal escape.
KEY FACTS 2 bedrooms 1 full bathroom Sleeps 4 2 Queen beds Bluff-top setting Panoramic Pacific Ocean views Wraparound ocean-view deck Approximately 5-minute walk to nearby beach trail Short drive to Dillon Beach Gas BBQ Fast WiFi Smart TV Open-concept living space Washer + dryer Nespresso machine Drip coffee maker French press Single-level layout On-site parking Sorry, no pets
Why This Home Stands Out Breaking Waves is all about slowing down and soaking up the coast. Its bluff-top setting, panoramic Pacific views, wraparound deck, and nearby beach trail create an easygoing retreat where ocean scenery takes center stage—from morning coffee and whale watching to golden sunsets and stargazing.
Living Spaces The bright, open living area is framed by picture windows showcasing sweeping Pacific views. Plush seating and a Smart TV make it comfortable for quiet evenings, while the open-concept layout keeps the ocean scenery at the heart of the home.
Kitchen & Dining The fully equipped kitchen makes meals at home easy, with ocean-view dining and a gas BBQ for relaxed coastal dinners. Coffee lovers get three ways to start the morning—Nespresso, drip, or French press—best enjoyed with a view of the Pacific.
BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Bedroom 1 — Queen Bed A peaceful Queen bedroom with ocean views and direct deck access.
Bedroom 2 — Queen Bed A comfortable Queen bedroom with coastal views.
Bathrooms One full bathroom with a shower/tub combination serves the cottage. A washer and dryer add convenience for longer stays and beach days.
Outdoor Living The wraparound deck is the heart of Breaking Waves, with panoramic views stretching across the Pacific. Find a wind-protected spot for morning coffee, fire up the gas BBQ for dinner, watch for migrating whales offshore, or settle in as the sky changes color at sunset. A nearby beach trail is approximately a 5-minute walk from the home for even more time along the coast.

Beautiful home! Views of the ocean and the wildlife (deer outside our door every day!). Our only glitch was a very warm spell we hit while there and no AC. I suspect it's not needed very often.
Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Sept 2026
Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed the home, ocean views, and especially the deer visits they really are such a special part of the experience. We’re sorry the warm spell made your stay less comfortable. You’re right that those temperatures are unusual for the area, but we appreciate you mentioning it and will certainly keep it in mind. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the living space, ocean views, and the comfort of the home. It’s great to hear the kitchen had everything you needed and that the location made it easy to explore Dillon Beach. We’d love to host you again for another relaxing coastal getaway!
Breaking waves is a perfect place to just unwind and relax. We walked in the door and jazz piano music was playing and then you see the breathing taking view of Bodega bay. We really did not want to leave. We will be back soon. It will be our new getaway spot. The house itself had everything you need from the kitchen to entertainment. The beds were very comfortable. A great snack basket and even a fun art project were waiting in the kitchen to welcome us. It is a definite 10!

Hi David! Thank you so much for the lovely review! We are so glad you enjoyed the home and the view, it truly is spectacular. We truly look forward to hosting you again.
House was clean though the kitchen countertop by the sink needs to be replaced. The gate going to the BBQ needs to be fixed....it is almost falling off & creates a safety issue.Views are fantastic
Perfect!!!! Comfortable peaceful and WOW THE VIEWS!!!!!! I only wish I booked this for longer.Only critique is the 10am checkout was too early. For the cost, 12pm would be more realistic.

Great location.
Would like king size vs. double beds but other than that, we loved it.

We are happy you enjoyed your stay at Breaking Waves! It is a wonderful location on the bluff above the Sea.
King size beds would be great but I'm afraid the owner thinks they would be too big for the rooms. :-)
We look forward to hosting you again

Breaking Waves was a cozy open floor plan with huge windows to enjoy the beautiful Tomales Bay, Point Reyes area, and Bodega Bay. Convenient to a lot of activities and Napa / Sonoma wine country. Highly recommended.
