About this property

Private Coastal Retreat ~ Walking Distance To Beach

Fully restored Romantic, Coastal, Arts and Crafts Style Cottage, originally built in 1918, one of a few cottages build on the coast. This rare retreat has been restored and designed by two generations of builders and interior designers. It was originally a painting studio and is now a very special coastal retreat with all the best modern amenities.

The Summer street cottage has an all redwood interior, 17 foot high vaulted ceilings, 180 degree ocean view. The cottage is furnished with comfort and luxury in mind for the ultimate get away. Located just 200 strides from the beach down Bumble Bee Path.

Wake up each morning to the sun streaming in the windows and fall asleep each night to the sound of waves and the warmth of two cozy fireplaces. Spend your days relaxing on the patio and upper deck overlooking the ocean. Make some memories under the outdoor trellis with mounted heaters. Fall asleep in one of the two sleeping areas one King and one queen size bed.

The beds, bedding and bathroom should be the best part of any rental experience. The beds are fit with down comforters and plenty of extra blankets for curling up and relaxing. The large bathroom has a soaker tub and large rain head shower with radiant heat floor all finished in Calacatta marble.

A one of a kind place for that special occasion. The cottage has been featured in the Travel section of the New York Times, 'Elegant Bungalows'.

You have your choice of drip coffee, Nespresso machine or french press. We provide a selection of treats, fresh butter and jam and of course a bottle of wine for your arrival. Grab an amazing loaf of fresh bread from Tomales bakery or the Dillon Beach market and enjoy.

Perfect Getaway

Cherried-out village cottage. Perfect for 1 couple. Great location and beach access, wonderful backyard, deck, and jacuzzi. Lovely beach vibe. Not the most affordable cottage in the village, but a worthy splurge.

Great house

Great little house for the weekend. Very cozy, and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Great location. Views were amazing from master and back patio and deck. Construction noise from the house next door was disturbing Friday evening and all day Saturday.

Perfect romantic beach getaway

It was exactly what we needed. Everything was ideal from the enchanting home to the outdoor hot tub and Fireplace. We loved, listening to the sound of the ocean waves while snuggling near the fireplace inside. Every thing was just perfect and we loved the luxurious bathroom too!
