This was our second time staying at this property and we had another great time. Wonderful views and the sound of the waves crashing coming through every open window. Very well equipped home for a long weekend at the beach!!
We were in town celebrating milestone birthdays and the house was a perfect basecamp! Comfortable rooms, good communication and an easy walk to the beach (keep in mind its a little steep).
The location is fantastic. The views are excellent. The seating availablity is spacious, room for all.The house has great features. The new side is bright and roomy. The old side has great charm and character.Some maintenance with doors and lights are needed. Unable to find light switches for kitchen as well as ceiling fan in large room. A deep scrubbing of kitchen cabinets, pots and pans would really add a sparkle of life.
Wonderful time at Dillon Beach with the family. This property is a great location and beautiful views. Perfect for our weekend away. Thank you to the host for being gracious!
This house had amazing views and very close proximity to the DB store and beach. Beds were very comfy and it was nice and clean. The front room could be greatly enhanced with more inviting/cozy furniture. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware, utensils and spices. Plan to bring anything else you might need (baggies, tin foil, cooking oils etc.) We loved the big dining table for dining, games and coloring. Note for owner - the coils in the toaster were sparking and could be a possible fire hazard. You may want to replace it. Thanks for a nice stay!!
We loved being right in the heart of Dillon Beach at this place. It was clean and well-appointed but keep in mind that it's more on the "rustic" side, but with character.
I have been going to Dillon beach for over 40 yrs We decided to return as family and rented 2 homes & my sons finance owns 1 home we occupied 3. Decor is never an issue for me so that it was dated no big deal What is a big deal is basics, 6 towels for an entire weekend?? 2 kitchen towels when no dishwasher, no closet in primary room, no tables to sit coffee drinks on either outside or in, bathroom door that sticks we had to help 2 people out of bathroom and more issues
This is such a unique and fun house. The kids loved exploring all the rooms and finding the SEVERAL light switches throughout the house. Just a block from the beach and an even closer walk to the Dillon Beach General Store. The ocean views from the home couldn't be any better. Highly recommend!
There were just 4 of us. The others that were invited had other things to do. So our son, whose birthday will be on Thursday, did some walking around with his uncle and his dog. All of them really enjoyed being out in the sunny sand!! Sunday and Monday were pretty warm. However there was some wind, but it wasn't a lot. All in all, we did enjoy ourselves!
Overall great location and view.
Cons:
- might consider a exterior remodel. Very run down looking, balcony was too small to be inhabitable.
- might consider a bathroom remodel. Shower did not feel or look clean.
- house only has 2 bowls to eat from.
- missing a pizza cutter
We have stayed at the Pickel Property 4-times and appreciate the quick access to the beach and the store. The property is aging and in need of new, or updated sliding glass doors, rotting deck boards replaced, and window screens would prevent the flies and bees from coming in. The water pressure is also quite low-tricky to wash off sand and canât have two faucets running at the same time. Linda, the manager, is helpful and quick to reply.
We return to Pickelâs Port every year at the end of summer and always love it. Great location, excellent property for families, perfect for a relaxing week at the beach.
This has to be the ideal place to stay in DB! We loved this beautiful homeâs location and view. Super close to the beach! Had almost every amenity (no dishwasher but we survivedđ)! No difficult stairs for our elderly dog. Weâd definitely like to rent it again!
The rating is entirely due to the poor experience I had with the management. The home was very convenient and comfortable, and we enjoyed the stay. My only recommendation would be to add a shower caddy and I also think some mowing and back yard maintenance would be nice. It was tough to see there was even a back gate. I received approval in writing prior to my stay to bring my 2 dogs despite the policy only allowing for 1. I paid the pet deposit. I was charged $250 after my visit and was told it was due to dog hair in the bed. I do know that dogs on furniture or in beds was not allowed. I brought dog crates for the dogs to sleep in because that is how they sleep at home. After explaining this to John (Linda?) I acknowledged they were shedding so there was dog hair in the home but we were not in violation. I would have vacuumed if I had access to a vacuum. He just responded by quoting the contract, including how I violated it because I brought 2 dogs which wasnât allowed. I responded by referencing the pre-approval email I had, and he just ignored it. He said there was also blood in the bed. Iâm not sure which bed because he never responded but Iâm guessing it was my daughterâs because she had oral surgery a week prior, it could have been on the pillowcase. I would understand being charged for that if it could not be laundered. I was charged $250 and wasnât given clear details, photos, receipts -nothing except quoted excerpts from the rental agreement. Awful
