About this cottage rental
Fully restored Romantic, Coastal, Arts and Crafts Style Cottage, originally built in 1918, one of a few cottages build on the coast. This rare retreat has been restored and designed by two generations of builders and interior designers. It was originally a painting studio and is now a very special coastal retreat with all the best modern amenities.
The Summer street cottage has an all redwood interior, 17 foot high vaulted ceilings, 180 degree ocean view. The cottage is furnished with comfort and luxury in mind for the ultimate get away. Located just 200 strides from the beach down Bumble Bee Path.
Wake up each morning to the sun streaming in the windows and fall asleep each night to the sound of waves and the warmth of two cozy fireplaces. Spend your days relaxing on the patio and upper deck overlooking the ocean. Make some memories while getting cozy around the outdoor gas fireplace, under the trellis mounted heaters. Fall asleep in one of the two sleeping areas one King and one queen size bed.
The beds, bedding and bathroom should be the best part of any rental experience. The new pillow-top beds are made with 800 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, down comforters and plenty of extra blankets for curling up and relaxing. The large bathroom has a soaker tub and large rain head shower with radiant heat floor all finished in Calacatta marble.
A one of a kind place for that special occasion. The cottage has been featured in the Travel section of the New York Times, 'Elegant Bungalows'.
You have your choice of organic drip coffee, Nespresso machine or french press. We provide a selection of snacks, coffee cream, fresh butter and jam and of course a bottle of wine for your arrival. Grab an amazing loaf of fresh bread from Tomales bakery or the Dillon Beach market and enjoy.

We will be back!

The house was absolutely beautiful, just as pictured. The beds are super comfy And the views from the upstairs and downstairs are both beautiful. The check-in was a little weird. I’ve stayed at lot of vacation rentals both For personally use and business that being said none of the check in’s have been has invasive, but Linda was nice. Some of the rules regarding guest, stopping by were a little odd to me. But neither the less it was just me and my husband, so it didn’t really infringe on our stay. But I would keep in mind if you Are looking to stay here I would keep it a couple situation. The ocean is such a short and quick walk down and the general store and restaurant are just a few blocks away. We really enjoyed our stay and the amenities at this house had! Great property.

My husband and I had a lovely stay at Full Circle. We chose this place to celebrate our ten year anniversay and it was absolutely perfect. The house itself is a historical wonder and the detail to design and comfort is uncompromised. We spent most of the time just sitting out on the deck and watching the birds, the coastline and the phenomenal sunsets. We visited Bodega Head which I highly recommend, and grabbed lunch at one of the two spots right nearby the park. It's an incredible location. Check-in and support throughout was spot on and Linda is friendly, accomodating and very helpful. This is truly a gem and worth every penny. We'll be back!

It was exactly what we needed. Everything was ideal from the enchanting home to the outdoor hot tub and Fireplace. We loved, listening to the sound of the ocean waves while snuggling near the fireplace inside. Every thing was just perfect and we loved the luxurious bathroom too!

The property is beautiful historic place with all the modern amenities. Dillon Beach is a quiet hamlet north of San Francisco with a beautiful beach. The owners and property managers are wonderful and logistics were smooth. The kitchen has modern appliance, beds were super comfy, gas fired fireplaces took the chill out of the air and outside fireplace/hot tub topped it off! There is a book that includes the history of Dillon Beach and the property. The property has an interesting past and the artwork is amazing. A few steps away is a general store and cafe. Lovely! Definitely top 5 place I've stayed!!

This is a charming, well-appointed beach cottage. Everything was top quality, from linens to glassware to artistry. The kitchen is well-equipped, the view is lovely, and the location is ideal. Check-in and check-out was smooth, and there were fresh-baked scones from the local bakery in the kitchen, perfect with our morning coffee! Highly recommend the Full Circle Cottage!

We loved this home in Dillon beach! It is so beautiful and wonderfully decorated and comfortable. The backyard is incredible. We loved having the option to just walk down the street to the beach. Highly highly highly recommend!

We spent four nights at Full Circle and enjoyed every minute. Very comfortable King bed downstairs. Beautiful bath is behind the gorgeous stained glass door. Some furniture is different from the pictures, but the rustic luxury is throughout. Read the book about the bungalow--very interesting. Relaxed in the charming covered patio area. Open windows let the breeze and the sounds of the sea surround you. We look forward to returning.

This is one of the best short stay properties I've ever experienced. I have been to many, and my mother's family business is in vacation homes. It can't be overstated how amazing this place is. The location, the views, the amenities, the hot tub, the deck, the back patio, the comfy beds, the incredible bathroom, the charming aesthetic, super clean rooms, beautiful decorations. I could go on and on. The owner and property manager were both super helpful. This was truly a special weekend to remember and I am so grateful. Thank you so much!

Full Circle is an amazing getaway for so many reasons. To begin, the home is one like I have never seen. So much attention to detail in every aspect...from the design to the furniture...to the feeling that there are so many separate beautiful spaces to find solace in. The outside spaces were my favorite. You could see the ocean and feel the breezes from the dining area to the hot tub to the fireplace seating...we felt relaxed, comfortable, and in another world.
Thank you for letting us stay at Full Circle. We cannot recommend a night or two or more for anyone needing a beautiful time away.

We stayed here for our wedding weekend and could not have asked for a more perfect stay. The house was even better than the pictures! We woke up every morning to a beautiful view of the ocean. The house is only 2 min from the beach and coming back after a cold plunge to an amazing hot tub was such a perk. The communication was seamless and we were so happy we asked to stay an extra night. Could not recommend enough.

The Dillon Beach cottage escape was exactly what we needed. My boyfriend and I came to celebrate his 33rd birthday and a quiet retreat from the city life of SF. The cottage is rich in history and carefully decorated to maintain the natural beauty of Northern California’s coastal region. The property is very well maintained and has all the amenities one would require for a weekend of wave watching, fresh cool breeze, but creature comforts of modern living (the spa, heater bathroom floors and beautiful Italian marble), and pristine and historic redwood walls. We were treated to wine and pastries for the morning and plenty of coffee to take everything in. Make sure and bring groceries and everything you need so you don’t have to leave. We enjoyed peaceful walks along the shore and above all else some of the best sleep and quiet nights in months. Thank you for an incredible trip. We will be back!

Everything was amazing from the booking, check in process as well as our stay. The property manager was friendly and easy to access if needed. The picture perfectly represents the property and the backyard and hot tub were fantastic. Worth the price!

My husband and I loved our stay at Full Circle for our 25th Anniversary. We loved the artwork and the magical lighting throughout the house and patio and the handmade book about the history of the house and surrounding area. We enjoyed spending time on the deck and patio, looking out at the ocean and listening to the waves. We found the village and beach to be charming as well.

Beautiful arts-and-crafts style cottage with a million dollar beach view. Top-drawer amenities, including bath with heated tile floor(!), as well as super high quality bedding, linens, and towels. Inviting back patio area with overhead heaters and a gas fireplace. Dillon Beach itself was an amazing find: walkable and picturesque. Just a short drive from San Francisco. All in all, highly recommended.

I found this property on the VRBO website and was immediately intrigued. It was everything as advertised, and so much more. Full of fabulous arts and crafts antique touches, but still so cozy. Two gas fireplaces, comfy chairs, Pendleton throws, and lots of cushions; two queen-size beds looking out at the gorgeous view of the beach (one in the loft, one downstairs. The stairs to the loft were a bit narrow for me, so we slept downstairs. But still... the view? Panoramic.) We enjoyed the huge hot tub on the deck, but sadly the weather was too windy to loiter in the lovely back yard. We plan on coming back in good weather! I haven't mentioned the enormous, marble clad bathroom with claw-foot tub, walk in shower, and double basins. Oh yes, and under floor heating. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals: a commercial stove, full-size dishwasher and fridge/freezer. If you're hesitating, please don't. You won't be disappointed.

My wife and I stayed here to celebrate our 20th anniversary. This cottage is amazing. The views, the sound of the ocean, and the sense of togetherness ooze from inside the walls. Every day was a different beach adventure while strolling down the sand or catching low tide to explore what the ocean had been hiding the day before. Quick drive north to Bodega Bay for hiking and a quick drive south to explore Point Reyes. Absolutely wonderful and highly recommended for anyone wanting to reconnect with Mother Nature!

Charming, perfect getaway. What more to say? The description says it all. The neighborhood is quiet. The beach and wave sounds are ever present. Lots of sun and wind in the afternoon but the house is built so you can retreat and enjoy the elements in luxury and style.

We absolutely loved this property. It is perfectly cozy and romantic. The attention to the details in the design and amenities are spot on from the bedding, to the lighting, to the Sonos playlist. Just perfection. We are already planning a return trip!

This beach house is amazing! Checking in and getting settled was very easy. Christine and Linda were very helpful throughout the entire process. The house itself had everything to offer. We grilled every night and enjoyed dinner on the patio watching the sun set and the waves roll in. We relaxed in the hot tub and watched satellites and shooting stars zoom across the sky. The general store is well stocked and has really great coffee drinks which were perfect for early morning strolls on the beach. It was a very memorable weekend, can’t wait to go back!

Stayed here for the weekend with my husband and it was just what I was looking for- a cozy place to hole up with a view of the beach. The cottage is very well designed and nice features. Much more space inside and in the backyard than I thought. Would come back in a heart beat!

I was looking for a week of "me" time and this was exactly what I was looking for. There's a great space to hang out and relax in the back with ocean views, a hot tub, and several lounging areas. Inside is a country kitchen (no mixer - you'll have to work that dough by hand!), two bedrooms, and a beautiful bathroom. The ocean sounds travel well up to the bedroom windows and sleeping with the windows open was a real treat. I was glad I bought groceries on the way in as the store and restaurant in town are nice but the hours and days were limited. It was a great way to spend a wekk and I look forward to returning!

We have waited for over two years to finally enjoy this vacation bucket list. The property was amazing and our daily walks on the beach was very therapeutic. The morning and evening coffees on the heated deck was a great way to start and end our days. This was a special vacation for us and the home was exactly what we had envisioned when we first found it online 2 years ago. Thank you Linda for making us feel so welcome. We will be back.

This home is above the rest. Loving restored and decorated with relaxation in mind. You can hear the ocean waves while enjoying a beautiful home and private gardens. Definitely worth a repeat visit.
