About this property
NorthernLights"Your FUN, Bright & Breezy Beach Playground!"HtTb/GmRm/Pup/WiFi
Sonoma and Marin Coastlines have recently been named, "Best Whale Watching in the San Francisco Bay Area!" You can watch whales breach and mother's with their calves right from our beaches! Keep and eye out for seals and pups and dolphins too!
3 Nights for 2 thru April (mid-week stays only) Holidays excluded.
“Hospitality is Our Happy Place” ✨
We’ve been proud Superhosts for 8 years and consistently earn 5-Star Ratings on VRBO/HomeAway across Sonoma and Marin Counties—including Dillon Beach, Bodega Bay, and the Russian River Wine Country. Google even calls us a Top Vacation Rental Company in the region! 🌊🍷
We invite you to walk in, relax, and feel at home. Every space is bright, clean, cozy, and safe, with thoughtful touches like music, treats, and little extras to make your stay feel special. Hang out, laugh, and make memories—we’re just a phone call away 24/7 if you need anything. As locals who live, work, and play here, we know what makes a getaway magical.
Our mission?
To make your stay easy, fun, and full of happy moments—from morning coffee on the deck to stargazing at night, and from check-in to check-out, we will make your stay sweet and seamless!
We look forward to your arrival! 💛

Northern Lights – "Your FUN, Bright & Breezy Beach Playground!"
Northern Lights is a sunny, spacious coastal escape in Dillon Beach where laughter, ocean breezes, and good vibes are guaranteed. Perfect for families, friends, or anyone who loves fun by the sea, it’s loaded with cozy hangout spots, a hot tub under the stars, and a game room that will spark endless friendly competition.
Start your day with coffee on a deck overlooking the Pacific Ocean, chase waves, hunt for shells, or build legendary sandcastles just minutes from the beach.
Come back for sunset cocktails, fireside stories, or a soak in the hot tub while the sky turns cotton-candy orange and pink—it’s basically a front-row seat to coastal magic.
Inside, open spaces make it easy to gather for meals, board games, or spontaneous dance-offs, while quiet nooks are perfect for sneaking away with a book or a nap.
Coastal trails, local shops, and seaside adventures are just a short stroll away, but with this much comfort, you might just decide to stay in and soak up the ocean views.
Northern Lights is playful, sun-soaked, and full of charm—a beach getaway where the fun never stops, the memories last forever, and every day feels like a little vacation in paradise.
