Great place to stay. I wanted to make a nice pasta dinner for my sister and some family members. The house had a great stove and all the pots and utensils I needed. Dillon beach is a nice slow, sleepy coastal town. We went to the area to meet some friends who camped at bodega bay and this was a nice close spot to meet with them. Overall I would recommend staying here.

We had the best time staying here for a quick girls trip for 6. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was fully stocked which was perfect to cook dinner together. Renovated bathroom too! Super close to the beach and the general store was right outside. Beautiful view of the ocean. Would definitely come back!

The property manager was made aware of a safety issue but neglected to address it. The knob came off of the inside of the bathroom door when we arrived. I informed the cleaning supervisor (who was there bc the beds were unmade when we arrived) and she informed the property manager. I assumed someone would come repair it. No one did, or even contact me.My 8yr old young daughter got locked in the bathroom in the middle of the night. She had to scream for someone else to wake up to open the door from the outside. It was really frightening for her - in the middle of the night, an unfamiliar house, and not to be able to get out. This is a legitimate safety concern. One TV was not functional. I also was charged in advance for a pet fee, but my dog ended up not coming to the property at all. Again, they refused to acknowledge any of this. Instead, she replied that the house needed additional cleaning. This is clearly an attempt to cover for the safety issue she ignored. We spent VERY little time at the house. I cleaned every dish, took out trash, the living rooms were virtually untouched. There was some sand in the bathroom - that would have been the biggest cleaning issue - but it's a beach house. The cleaning claims are blatant fabrications, which is so completely unethical and deceptive, I can't really even believe it. I was understanding about the bedding issue, but to try to turn the tables when there was an ignored safety issue... beware of these practices.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Jul, 2026
We respectfully disagree with this review and would like to clarify what occurred. During your arrival, our housekeeping team was running slightly behind due to the peak summer rental season. The home had already been cleaned, and only two beds remained to be made. The delay was approximately 30 minutes. To make up for this inconvenience, we extended your checkout time by three hours at no additional charge. Regarding the bathroom door handle, the message you sent us during your stay stated: "I showed the woman who came to change the sheets, but she couldn’t fix it, and my daughter got kind of 'locked in' the bathroom a couple times." This was reported on your first day. At no time during your stay did you request that maintenance come to the property or indicate that the issue required immediate attention. After your departure, our property manager and maintenance technician inspected the door handle. They found it to be operational and determined that it simply needed to be tightened. We also found that the home required cleaning beyond what is considered normal after checkout. Although we documented the additional work and provided an invoice, we chose not to charge you for those extra cleaning costs. We believe your review does not accurately reflect the condition of the home or the service we provided. We strive to address guest concerns promptly and fairly, and we remain committed to providing a high-quality experience for all of our guests.
