Perfect family get away

Darling inside and out! Perfect location, short walk to trail that leads to the beach or you can just enjoy the view from the dining room table. Love that it is mainly single story except a few bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Well equipped, comfy beds, plenty of towels. We will be back for sure!

Fun Family Time

This home is casual and comfortable and is ideal for a multi-generational family. Our group consisted of me, my sons and their families which included my adult and teen-aged grandchildren and two dogs. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the fire pit in the evening. Everyone agreed that we should make this a yearly event!

Great stay close to the beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. It was well stocked throughout and the location is unbeatable. In the backyard, The hot tub was lovely, and the outdoor shower was a bonus to rinse off after walking in the sand at the beach, and made rinsing off the dog super easy, too. The gate was easy to open and close, and the fully fenced and tidy back yard was a safe place for the dog to wander around in. The kitchen had all pots and pans needed for several different meals. The microwave worked just fine. I think the oven ran a little cool, so just note that when you are cooking and maybe crank up the heat a bit. The dining area was comfortable for all six of us. The beds and bedrooms were comfortable. One thing I do want to note here is they provided some difficulty for my older relative, as the stairs are very steep, and she was unable to go up and down the stairs. The bedroom on the ground floor has a VERY tall bed (like 4 feet tall), so she needed help getting in and out. We had a great time and would definitely consider staying here again.

About the host

Hosted by Jenn Fay

Jenn grew up in San Francisco and Ryan grew up in Pittsburgh, PA moved to SF in his early 20s. We currently reside in Marin County with our son and two English Bulldogs. Ryan grew up watching surf and skate videos from California and always dreamed of having a CA beach house. Jenn, a born and raised city girl fell in love with the natural beauty and serenity of Dillon Beach.

Why they chose this property

It is a quintessential California Beach House built in 1968 by the developer of the community. We love that the home has history and character. The developer picked the location for the views, the stability of the land, and the 100+-year-old cypress tree that shades the property. The backyard is large and private which we love and additionally, the front porches are great for morning coffee, afternoon wine, and gorgeous sunsets.

The floorplan is efficient and open yet provides plenty of room for sleep and allowing everyone to have their own space. This makes the property great for groups.

This is the best location in Dillon Beach because you are a 1-minute walk to the beach path. Unlike the crowded town with no parking or the properties on the hill that get caught in the fog and are not walkable to the beach or town. Whale Tail Bahay is accessible to town and the beach on foot, plus it has parking for 4 cars. Once you arrive you don't have to get back in your car until you leave.

And the unobstructed views are spectacular!
