Great Ocean views from every room!

Marin Co Short Term Renal license P5212

The 13th of Summer is a romantic get-away or a comfy family holiday cottage on the Marin/Sonoma coast. Be awed!

Note: the deck is secure for my 11 lb Maltese dog Sally Rose. The yard is not fenced.

Dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean, waves rushing up the shore. Grand sunsets from hug picture windows or even better from the deck with a glass of wine!

It's just a short five minute stroll to the beach.

When not watching sunsets or the sea, guests can enjoy the household surroundings. The cottage is filled with original paintings and sculpture by local artists. No need to work at a wood burning fire. An environmentally conscience gas burning stove is romantic for that fire-wood stove look, warmth and ambiance. The energy efficient gas heater keeps the cottage cozy.

Take a nap; watch the waves.! The westerly living room has an extra long down filled sofa, huge soft chair w/ ottoman and oak rocker. Lots of lamps make reading and close work enjoyable. The view is wonderful. The easterly sitting area is a cozy conversation or media area and has an overstuffed chair with ottoman and love seat.

An induction range and a refrigerator are in the kitchen. From the sink is a view of the front garden and from the stove, the sea. ATT phone service includes the continental USA is in the kitchen and master bedroom. Mircrowave, blender, food processor, Kenmore mixer, rice cooker, stick blender, toaster

New smart TV

The master bedroom has a queen size bed, blue leather wingback chair and oak dresser. Reading the paper, drinking coffee, and watching birds scamper along the shore make staying tucked in under the down comforter a morning pleasure.

The knotty pine bedroom has a queen bed and twin bed, antique oak dresser and upholster high-back chair. When standing by the windows, the bay and Bodega Head can be enjoyed. Beach chairs and blanket are in this closet

Upstairs and between the two bedrooms is a half-bath with sink and toilet.

Downstairs is the full bath with shower, toilet, sink,and, of course, a great view of the ocean.

The deck provides a great area to relax with teak chaise lounges, table and chair for taking in the view. A cozy and comfortable dining area with the grand Pacific Ocean before you makes inside dining a delight.

The comfy cottage at 13 Summer will reward you with romance and relaxation!

Check in is 4pm and check out is 11am. Note: there is pet fee of $50 for one large dog or two small dogs.

Parking is very limited in Dillon Beach. The cement drive-way along the south side of the house will accommodate one sedan or SUV. Non reserved parking is allowed across the street along the cement retaining wall. I ask that guests let me know ahead of time if they plan to plug in their electric..

Overnight guests are limited to 5 people.

We stayed 3 nights at Cherry's cozy beach house. The house was just as described and was stocked with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Cherry's communication with us was great and the chocolate treats were an added surprise. The check-in and check-out process was a breeze. We would definitely stay here again.

I have stayed in this home many times over the years. I love the warmth and coziness this home offers. Cherry's home is dog friendly and has all of the essentials to make both myself and my dogs happy. Just a few minutes walk to the beach, and with expansive beach and ocean views. I am a clean freak, and this home is sparkling clean!! I will continue to visit this home in the years to come.

We had an awesome time at Cherry’s rental. The rental was like a home full of beautiful artwork, books, decorative items and antique furniture. We loved it so much that we actually did not travel around much. We enjoyed the patio and views of the ocean as well as the sunsets.

We loved the house...everything was well-appointed...including the kitchen. The house was rented to 4 ladies...only 2 were able to enjoy it due to illness. Those two ladies loved their stay, but felt that the room with the single queen might benefit from a king-sized bed instead...that the house is perfect for a couple or two...but for 4 single ladies it was rather awkward...but the 2 that went loved it! Having a single parking spot made it difficult for either of the two who were ill/recovered to visit the house/have a place to park the car. Cherry...simply a wonderful place!

Another great visit to Cherry's warm and inviting house! It's the perfect house for sitting on the deck and reading in the sun, or going down to the beach for a long walk with the dog. Really appreciated all the kitchen supplies and the well-stocked dog towels! We can't wait to come back again.

This is our second stay at Cherry's beautiful property. Cherry goes above and beyond to make you feel at home and welcome. The home is full of wonderful art pieces and so comfortable. I love cooking in her well equipped modern kitchen. The deck is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the great view. The location of the property couldn't be better and is just a short walk to the beach. We look forward to coming back next year!

Recharge Retreat!

We had such a wonderful stay! The property is absolutely beautiful—spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need, especially in the kitchen. The ocean views from both bedrooms were stunning and made each morning feel like a retreat. It was the perfect place to unwind and recharge after a busy and demanding school year. Highly recommend!

We loved everything about the house! We felt at home the second we walked through the door. Super dog friendly house and a few minutes walk to the best dog beach we have been to. The views were amazing. The chocolates were amazing. It was the most well stocked house we have ever stayed in. We loved looking at the art and decorations around the house. We can’t wait to come back!
