The host is fabulous! This was our 2nd stay at this property. It has stunning views. Every night was spent watching the sunset!! The kitchen is well stocked and beds are comfortable.
DO NOT RENT THIS HOME... unless you want amazing views, a sophisticated property within walking distance to the beach. DO NOT RENT THIS HOME... unless you want guaranteed fun with your family, very comfortable beds, and all the amenities of home. Hopefully now it will be available when we return! Can't be soon enough. Thanks again!
Great location for exploring that part of the CA coast. Beautiful scenery and great birdwatching. Home was clean and comfortable with beautiful views and a few special touches that made it unique. Great that it is a very nice home that is dog friendly! Home is 3 levels so if accessibility is an issue that is something to consider.
Hosts were thoughtful with great recommendations! Property is absolutely clean and stylish. It is exactly the same as shown in the pictures and within walking distances to various attractions.
driving up to this house has that weathered look to it. Opening up the front door to a comforting stairway and then up to the main floor with a fantastic view of Dillon beach and the Ocean is a wonderful enjoyment. Sunsets were great and the fog reminded us of the Ice Wall in GOT. We will be back.
It was a wonderful stay! A few minor hiccups or I would have given more stars. when we arrived there was no propane in the outdoor tank. We could not put on the fireplace or cook dinner. The host corrected it quickly though! We were grateful for that. The kitchen was welled stocked!
Our group finds this place to be a peaceful haven. The house is stunning, with an astonishing million-dollar view of Dillon Beach. From cooking to entertaining the owners provided all the necessities (Big screen TVs, appliances, WiFiâs, board games etc). We had a great experience and want to return in the future. If you want to relax and unwind, I definitely recommend âA Sandy Pauseâ.
What a home! We stayed for 4 nights, and just loved it! The views are spectacular! The home itself is in great condition with a few blemishes, but for being a rental property the owners take very good care of it. The kitchen is fully stocked, and I mean fully stocked, with all the cookware you need. With any vacation rental, bring some spices if youâre going to cook as it is your âtypicalâ vacation rental seasonings. Not a bad thing, by any stretch though.
The Internet is solid, and boy will you need it if you have att. The DirecTV is awesome! I think they have every channel available which is super nice if you want to relax at home. The TV is one of the best vacation rental TVs Iâve had the pleasure of viewing.
The master bedroom bed was a bit on the soft side, but still a super quality mattress though. The view from the bed is very nice as well. The tub has an amazing view, but my wife commented that the water pressure was too low to fill it up in a timely manner. Now, we have a newborn and the tub is massive with a capital M, so itâs not a knock at all. Just patience is allocated to the baby and not much more.
The downstairs bedrooms looked great, but we didnât utilize them cause there were only the 3 of us.
The beach is awesome and the little shop near it has a lot of what you would need if you forgot something at home.
Restaurants in the area are good, but their hours are limited so keep that in mind if you stay there. One of them didnât do takeout orders over the phone, which was weird, but it didnât take forever to get the food and it was really good.
Overall, this is an awesome spot for couples, families or even just a solo trip.
Welcoming home, amazing views, great TV and an awesome area!
We went away on a moms/daughters trip and it was terrific! The house is in amazing condition with beautiful views and plenty of space to relax. It's an easy drive or a 15 min walk downhill to the beach, general store, and lovely restaurant called Coastal Kitchen. The owners were really clear in their communication and the check-in and check-out process was seamless. Dillon Beach is a gem of a spot and you'll love it. In addition - we left a few things behind accidentally and the owners were incredibly responsive and had our special items shipped right back to us. Incredible and so appreciated!
Fabulous house with short walk to the beach. Modern interior with surround sound speakers. Big open space in the living room area, good for groups and family. Big long windows make for hood natural lighting and great view of the beach. The only complaint we have is there is no exhaust fan over the stove so cooking might result in lots of smoke indoors. Other than that we had such a lovely time at the property.
We had a fabulous time enjoying the home and our surroundings. Some of the girls took a walk down to the beach. Such a wonderful experience overall. Thank you for sharing your home.
The large living room and connected kitchen with beautiful views is really lovely. The location a little ways right up the hill, with the amazing landscape , is awesome. The beds are comfy and the the little deck on the main bedroom is a great place in the morning. I wouldnât consider the kitchen fully stocked in terms of spices and oils and stuff. Overall a super relaxing place to be.
Excellent getaway if you are looking for a quick short drive from the busy Bay Area.
Relaxing place and plenty of activities to do in the surrounding areas. House is well equipped, comfortable and clean. The walk to the beach is quick and the uphill did not deter our active teens from getting out and about on their own.
The location was great way to escape the heat and slow down to relax.
The house was great. With the kitchen and living room open to create a great room, it was a fantastic way to visit, cook and enjoy the scenery. I traveled with my Aunt (85 years of age) and my sisters (one that just had a knee replaced), so the split level floor plan of the home was challenging but not impossible. Beach access was by car, because although the beach is very close the walk up hill back to the house was very steep.Once you park on the residence access street there is a narrow path to the beach. The trouble to get there is well worth it.
Property is beautifully decorated, very clean, and in good working order. But the VIEW!!!!
We had never been to Northern California (we are Florida people) so we were totally unfamiliar with Dillon Beach. It takes a while to get out there but once you arrive....WOW! The house is fabulous - we had 9 with us and everyone slept comfortably. The furniture and appliances are top notch - we cooked for ourselves and had a blast. The beach is fabulous - plenty of room to run, explore, climb, & relax. And its an excellent place for sail-boarding/surfing/kite-surfing etc.. The best thing about the house is the view - from the living room & master bedroom its just spectacular. We took day trips to see redwoods & San Francisco. We stayed here a week and hated to leave. A couple of things to know: 1) the house is WAY OUT THERE - it is a 40 minute drive to a town of any size (gas/target/big grocery). 2) this is a place to connect and relax - Dillon Beach is a very quiet, very nice little community so if you are looking for nightlife or places to go out.....its a pretty good drive. For our group this was a plus. 3) there is no shades or curtains on the windows in the master bedroom. The view is fantastic but the privacy is lacking......we didnât care who enjoyed the show since we donât know anyone but.....Bottom line - fantastic house, Jenn is great to work with and responsive to any questions.....we hope to return. Staying in Dillon Beach was one of the best family experiences we have ever had.
Spectacularly beautiful home perched on the Pacific!
We so enjoyed Sandy Pause. Everyone in our party had the same awestruck reaction when they saw the home and the panoramic view. We felt so remote ; yet, wine country was only a half hour away. Wonderful weekend was had by all. Canât wait to return!
We really enjoyed our stay. The view is just amazing! The fire place wasnât working when we arrived. I texted Jenn and she responded in minutes. And the handle man was over in less than 30 minutes to fix the fireplace. We loved our stay.
We loved our time at this property. It is a beautifully designed home, decorated with impeccable taste, and well appointed. The site near the top of the hill allows for spectacular views, and it's also close enough to the beach to take a quick drive down to the coast. Luckily we had clear skies and great weather.
Anyone planning to rent the property should be aware that there are about 15 stairs from the front door to the main area of the house, so pack your food and other items in light-weight bags. And be sure to ask the owner if the house is equipped with the particular items and technology you may need. It has lots of basics, but not everything. And, it's a "smart house", which is good, but be prepared to understand and use a number of remote controls!
We all appreciated being in such a lovely and comfortable house!
Thank you!
