Magnificent ocean views from every room! Exquisite, high end remodeled beach house located in the quaint town of Dillon Beach, near Tomales Bay. Luxurious feel, with a cozy and charming atmosphere.

The space
"Beautiful upstairs with an amazing view, very well located with a nice walk to the beautiful beach. Wonderful for family time together in the big living/dinning/kitchen large room upstairs." - Emi, August 2018, *****
"We loved our stay. The views of the ocean are even more spectacular in person. We used the kitchen every day, and the hot tub every evening. The house was a great addition to a special trip!" - Rachael, July 2018, *****
"Scenic, quiet and comfortable home and location to enjoy a lovely getaway. ... Very remote location which is great for a quiet getaway, family reunion, etc." - Jennifer, July 2018, *****
"Amazing panoramic ocean views from enormous upstairs windows! " - Emily, July 2018, *****
"Coming from San Francisco we really appreciated the quiet and serenity of the beach house. There was so much room for all of our family to move around the space and felt right at home. The upstairs was so light and airy and the downstairs felt private. The jacuzzi was spectacular both during the daytime and evening." - Alisa, June 2018, *****

This property was PERFECT for our group. We traveled with 8 adults and two small boys (aged 7 and 8) and the main floor (kitchen,living space and master) was beautifully decorated and upscale, while the game room and hot tub room were a little dated (early 90s theme) which was amazing because we didn’t have to worry about the kids playing in the game room. It was the best of both worlds!
We were able to walk to the beach (even the kids) and the view was INCREDIBLE.
The only suggestion would be to have a closet with some old boogie boards, beach chairs/towels/toys, plastic cups. The home came with so many things but we felt it was odd that it didn’t contain any beach-related items for use being so close to the water. Minor detail though, it was not a con for the property at all just a suggestion.
Would go back here 10/10 times!

This is our second time staying at this house. The layout works well for our family and we love the kitchen and living room area. The view is spectacular and it’s easy to drive to the beach. The giant hot tub is our kids favorite thing! Highly recommend!

The pics didn’t do it justice, great views from all rooms. The place could benefit from some deep cleaning as there were spider webs in some places and just some spaces that needed some extra care. I would definitely go back.

This house is amazing for a group, we were there with my parents and grand mother and it was giant for the 7 of us. My kids loved the game room and the GIANT hot tub. The view from the main room is spectacular. Only real thing I would change is adding a curtain in the downstairs bathroom since the neighbors use their yard and can see in from some angles

Perhaps I didn't read the description of the property thoroughly, but the family was pleasantly surprised with the garage/game room (foosball, ping pong table, and pool table). There were also three bathrooms, not two, but one was in direct view of neighbors and there were no window coverings for that bathroom. There is a loft area, with a spiral staircase, leading down to the hot tub from one of the bedrooms. We didn't use either of these, nor did we leave the sliding door open from that same bedroom. If you've stayed in Dillon Beach homes, there's a familiar "dank" smell in older parts of homes. So we kept it closed and didn't use the decks either. However, the rest of the house was impressive, modern, and clean. The furnishing were comfortable and the views were awesome. The open floor plan on the main level was perfect for us. There was an outdoor shower at the front entrance, but was not working at the time we were there.
We've gone to Dillon Beach 2x/yr for the last five years. This has been one of the best places we stayed at.
One last thing, I had concerns about wifi because it can be unreliable at Dillon Beach. We needed to take a few important Zoom meetings. For those of you interested, the specs were about 180 MBPS (download) and 100 MBPS (upload). My family was very impressed with that alone.

This home was the perfect location and size for our family vacation. The home and ocean views were beautiful! There was more than enough space for each family member to rest and relax. The living area was roomy and had plenty of gathering space. We will absolutely book again for our next family vacation. Thank you!

Giant hot tub! Need I say more?
Our family loved it. My twin 3 year olds even agreed to sleep in their own room which is a first for us. The property was nicely decorated and not scary. Hehe. Some shampoo, body wash and laundry detergent would have been appreciated but it didn’t affect our overall enjoyment of the stay.

Very comfortable- nicely decorated- a few rooms/ places still in progress, but not intrusively so. Knives could be sharpened, and a larger frying pan/ with lid would be great.
