Thank you for a well-cared-for property. It was clean, convenient, and within view of the beach. The things that were not our favorite (but not a complaint) were the stairs up to the kitchen and living room, the huge windows without curtains, and the scary downhill parking space. Again, not a complaint. The house was as promised and advertised. We celebrated our 56th anniversary there. Thanks.

Excellent location with beautiful views and walkable to restaurant, store and beach. Thoughtful items in kitchen and bathroom...things that you might have forgotten to pack like qtips, lotion, etc. The host responded very quickly and clearly. The whole family appreciated the space.

The house is great in many ways. A bit more run down on the outside than is shown in the pictures. The main living area is upstairs but the only bathroom is downstairs with the bedrooms. There are several pots and pans that will not work with the induction stove; they should be removed. And there were several bulbs out so the lighting was quite dim. The location is great for walking to the beach. Overall a great place to stay; would be perfect if there were more attention to details.

This location in the hidden gem town at Dillon Beach is amazing! The resort restaurant and general store are across the street and it's just a 5 min walk down the street to the beach. 1 hr to San Francisco or Napa and lots to explore in the nearby towns like Freestone. The house has a well stocked kitchen with newer appliances and is well maintained. I would have loved coat hangers in the bedroom closets to hang clothes, but otherwise the place had everything I needed! Can't wait to come back.

Lovely property, close to the beach. My only complaint was the wall heater in one of the rooms did not work and it was quite cold but the bed was nice and warm!

Dear Host, I appreciate you hosting, however, I have some feedback going forward. Our stay for 2 nights was anything but what your listing advertised and it seems as though even the pictures have been manipulated/ photoshopped. I'd first like to start with the general smell of black mold (toxic) as you enter the house. I have also included a photo of it on the window sill upstairs. This is a hazard for anyone that rents your listing. We couldn't use the shower, since the shower head does not attach and falls on you while you are rinsing off. We had someone try to use the shower and it hit them directly in the forehead. The toilet seat could not be used, it is corroded and probably has not been changed in 20 years. This is just a $20 fix to help guests to be able to use the toilet. We wanted to drink coffee in the morning on the upstairs deck and the outdoor furniture was infested with bugs/ spiders (also see attached photo). The indoor furniture is stained and dirty. We had to use towels in order to even use them. The bed sheets are made out of plastic, not cotton, which makes it difficult to sleep. Overall, we were not able to spend any time at VRBO and I would like to give a 1 out of 10 stars. I would appreciate it if you could refund at least one night's stay as this place needs extreme care and maintenance and is not usable for hosting.

The location is amazing--my kids were able to walk to the beach by themselves (after some careful instructions on where to cross the street). The General Store is a 2 minute walk away for whatever you may have forgotten to bring (warning: prices are steep). The partial view of the ocean from the living room is lovely. The kitchen is has all the basics implements you need to cook with. Beds were comfy but the rest of the furniture was not (especially the couch). The driveway is at a very sharp angle and may be difficult for someone with mobility issues. Overall very good value, given that we spent most of our time at the beach!

Nice Location in Dillon Beach. Two bedrooms and 1 bath small but fine. TV didn’t work well. Some pots didn’t work on the induction stove. Black mold on kitchen window sill. Baseboards need cleaning. Handrail sticky. We managed just fine

We made this reservation 6 months in advance for a 2 night stay. We drove 3 hours to stay at Dillon beach. Check-in is at 4pm. We arrived at 1pm to camp there and had this vrbo for our parents who cannot camp. We also had it as a backup for our baby in case he couldn’t handle camping. 30 minutes before check-in they canceled on us saying there was a power outage. No compensation for the 30 min before check in late notice. We asked around the area and there was no power outage. Ridiculous!! We love Dillion beach and visit often. We will never vrbo with this company to safe us the headache of last minute cancellation. Get one of the cottages instead!!

The location was perfect! We didnt have to drive to the beach or store. The only that didn't work out on this trip was The Dillon Beach Cafe closed at 5pm when the told us 6pm the night before. Obviously not a problem caused by the vacation rental, but don't count on the cafe for dinner.

Our overall experience was very good. The property was clean and comfortable. However, the on line photos don't show the wear on the property and furniture. The view of the ocean and beach was limited but we enjoyed it. Being able to walk to the beach was wonderful. The cottage was right on Dillon Beach Road which made traffic noise an issue at times.

This house is close to the general store, which has amazing ice cream cones, and has an easy path to the beach. We stayed at the beach until the sunset and was able to watch the fog roll in before walking back to the house. We spent most of our time playing games at the kitchen table. It can get a little stuffy upstairs but as soon as you open the slider, the fresh air fills the room. We love this house and will keep staying here!

Buyer Beware

Buyer Beware

We were so excited to spend a couple of days at Dylan beach but we were very disappointed when we arrived to our home away from home. This place was pretty dumpy! Very dirty, terrible smell of mildew upon entry that stayed with us for the entire trip. Broken windows

Nice/Basic Beach House

Nice/Basic Beach House

Nice, simple, good value beach house. Short walk from the beach was really great. And being so close to the market/cafe was a plus. The downstairs was a bit chilly in January, but not too bad. The living room and kitchen are set up nice for cooking and enjoying the view.

This was was a nice last minute holiday for 2 nights. The location close to the market was very convenient. The rental was as expected. No real complaints. It for a little cold in the evening but space heaters were available and very helpful. this would not be an issue during summer months.

Great stay!

Great stay!

Almost everything was great in this no-frills, convenient property. It was a five minute walk to the beach. Two nice patios with a sliver of ocean view. Only two minor complaints: neither Netflix nor the DVD player worked, and there was a strong ketchupy smell in the house. It wasn't unpleasant, just odd.

Chilly but nice

Chilly but nice

The rental was pretty much exactly as advertised. The location was great for our vacation and everything worked well, including check-in. Unfortunately we were there on the coldest week of the year, and the electric heaters weren't quite up to the challenge, so we spent some time moving heaters from room to room and wearing extra layers to keep warm. Likely much better suited to the summer! Bonus is that we were easily able to plug in our electric car to an outlet to keep it charged during our visit.

Beautiful little beach house

Beautiful little beach house

My husband and I rented this house for our 5 year anniversary. It was everything we hoped fore and more! Beautiful, clean, quiet. The view of the ocean from the balcony and windows was gorgeous! The house even came with movies and board games. And it was so close to the day use area you could walk. Fantastic stay,I HIGHLY recommend it.

Dillon Beach Retreat

Dillon Beach Retreat

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very cute and well cared for. The location was great, short walk to the beach, short drive to Lawson's Landing and the marina. No cell service at least with ATT. The WIFI worked fine. The kitchen was pretty well equipped for a rental unit and all the appliances functioned very well.. John, the property manager was a Godsend. The VRBO hostess had sent us the wrong code to the key lock box. As I mentioned earlier no cell service. We had to find a high spot with cell and fortunately John responded within a couple of minutes. The hostess didn't even call back. She sent us an email some time later. Should we decide to visit beautiful Dillon Beach again we would certainly consider staying here again.

Awesome little place with lots of character. Great location. Very cool little neighborhood. Make sure when you go, you stock up on food. The only store close is very, very expensive. As well as the closest grocery store. Very expensive! Also, be prepared for a precarious parking spot. There was no other way this could have been done though. Definitely recommend!
