All the other reviews are accurate! And, from the point of view of two octogenarians, it’s works for us oldies too. FYI…3 easy steps down from street to property, 1 small step into house and house to back deck. Comfortable sofa and bed, great kitchen plus any and all supplies you will need. Quality, comfy deck furniture to watch the action off the deck. Short walk to beach is sloped but manageable. Appreciated the Printed directions for their TV and fireplaces. We brought our dog and were thankful that there were area rugs to keep her from slipping around on their beautiful floors. All in all, a wonderful little house for a wonderful getaway! Thank you fellas!

An amazing cottage in a beautiful beach town

Cute Updated "Surf Shack"

I can't say enough about this adorable cottage with a fabulous view and deck. Previous reviewers are right on. I love when that happens! I met one of the owners who couldn't be nicer. The kitchen is amazing. Everything on the inside has been updated. And that view! My dog and I spent much of our time cuddled on the large round wicker lounge on the deck enjoying people watching and just hanging out with a warm blanket to watch the sunset. I've stayed in more than 50 rentals within the past seven years. Dennis and Dan's place is as good as it gets for the price and for one or two people. Dog friendly to boot!

Perfect Long Weekend

We really had a nice stay at Dennis and Dan’s Surf Shack. It was easy to just drop in, with our two little dogs, and everything we could need was provided for. Great views, quiet even with the weekend activity at Dillon Beach. Our dog Frodo loves being off leash and the walk down to the confluence with Tomales Bay perfect for us. Dennis was a welcoming and responsive host. Really a lovely spot. Thank you!

A piece of paradise.....

The best beach trip we've in our life. The cottage was super cool, from the front yard to the deck with an epic view. It literally had everything you would need for a special get away. The host's Dennis & Dan are awesome. Thank you for a trip we will always remember! K & J

Perfect Location

The property is clean and has all of the amenities you can ask for. We originally booked the property because it was pet friendly and has a king sized bed. The bed is very comfortable. The best part of the property is the location. You are in walking distance to the beach, restaurant, and general store. We will not hesitate to book again.

A true gem!

This adorable home was exactly what my husband and I needed to get-away, decompress from life, and enjoy our anniversary. We have stayed at Dillon beach many times but this is by far our favorite home. Location is pristine. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The balcony was delightful to sit on to enjoy the cool, crisp air and the views. We will definitely be back! Thank you to the devoted hosts of this property for allowing us to stay here.

Perfect getaway for two

Location whew at, property clean and well stocked. Super sweet to walk into a bottle of wine & snacks for both us and our dog. Honestly our only complaint would be that the deck is in need of some love and it would be awesome if it was plexiglassed for the view!

Been coming here my whole life....best rental ever!

My boyfriend , myself and our two dogs came to stay for a couple of days for some much needed R and R.The house was perfect for our needs(including a birthday banner and birthday card for my boyfriend). The owners think of everything you might need and then some. Restful, peaceful and a great comfy bed. Looking forward to staying there again(maybe in December for my birthday).Thanks again Dennis for understanding about the date changes.

Great location and comfortable home!

We had a great time at Dennis and Dan’s place! The house is well stocked with everything you could need. They went above and beyond by providing all sorts of little treats for humans and our dog! The bed was comfortable…we got great sleep in the quiet neighborhood. The view was spectacular and the 2 minute walk to the dog friendly beach was the best! We couldn’t have had a nicer time and look forward to making this regular our quick getaway!

Delightful

It was the perfect little cottage for our beach getaway. The hosts were so thoughtful - they left treats for us and our dog. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable. It is right next to a great mercantile with coffee and soft serve! And it was a quick stroll to the beach (which is a great beach for dogs!).

Everything about this place was perfect and exactly what I needed. I was looking for a peaceful place for a personal retreat and it was just that. A two minute walk to the beach, store and restaurant. Beautiful sunsets. The house was so cute and comfortable. I didn't want to leave and I hope to be back many times in the future.
