Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family had an amazing time at Abalone Alcove! Gorgeous views from every room, clean and comfortable with a funky mid century vibe. The pool table and hot tub were hits and we loved playing in the tidepools on the beach.

We walked into the house and we were so surprised by the beautiful views and the cleanliness. We spent four nights in this beautiful home with beautiful views celebrating our anniversary. We relax and enjoyed ourselves immensely! Thank you so much!

Great view, nostalgic setting, but could have used more blankets. Overall, very relaxing.

Beautiful house with amazing views Full kitchen was awesome, hated to leave.

Classic house in the style of coastal construction in the 70s/80s. Think classic Sea Ranch aesthetic with interesting history and heating. We had a wonderful and relaxing week. Long walks, hot tub, family meals. Kitchen is well equipped.

We love this home and this is our second stay. It always stuns us when we walk through the front door and are greeting by the amazing views of the ocean and Tamales Bay. The only negative comments are: 1) The closet doors in the downstairs bedrooms are loose and swing inward and are difficult to manage. 2) The coffee pot leaked a couple of times. Otherwise everything was perfect and we can't wait to return!!

The house is decent, and the view is beautiful. The bed on the top floor is a rock. There was no mention of a washer/dyer being unavailable and in the guest info, it said to use only if absolutely necessary however there was no access. There are a few things that could use repairs. I will bring this up to the property management. I don’t personally love all the rules of Dillon Beach. I think if you want to have a family gathering it should be permitted. I probably would not stay here again for that reason.

Great property but could have used better lighting to read and play games Kitchen was well setup!

When we first entered the residence, there was a strong smell of urine that went away after opening the windows, and allowing it to air out. The living room had a cracked window and the bedroom upstairs windows would not open and the house got really warm during the day which brought back the smell of urine. There were a couple screens that had rips in them and a few stains in the carpet the hot tub was 145 days past due for water change, and there is no gas station at Dillon Beach but everything else was better than expected in the end. We enjoyed the house very much and look forward to staying there again.

Abalone Alcove in Dillon Beach was EVERYTHING and more! We decided to venture out to Dillon Beach to celebrate our 17-year anniversary. We took our Dad and dog with us to celebrate with us. There is nothing like walking into a home and the first thing you see is nothing but the ocean. We were very fortunate to secure a last-minute booking for this home. I tell you this place does not disappoint! We had the BEST weather for the 3 days that we stayed and never once turned on the heater because the sun warms up the entire house with all the windows. The pictures of the home are spot on and having a pool table/game room was a nice touch as we like to play pool and try to make impossible shots! It was a 2 bedroom home with a King and Queen bed which is always a nice touch. The neighborhood is perfect. The homes all had wonderful curb appeal and the general store is convenient for quick things you may run out of. We made a day trip to Bodega Bay (a very short drive) and took our dog down to the beach one day for some playtime. Lots of deer run freely in Dillon Beach and around the property which makes you appreciate where you are. This is the 2nd property we have rented in the Dillon Beach area and so far is the big winner! We will definitely be back to visit this lovely home in the future! Thank you again for sharing this special home with us!

Loved the view, the hot tub and the comfy beds!!

Arrived in the rain. Misty, cozy, inviting. Sunny & glorious next two days. Beach walking, beach running, hot tubbing, wildlife viewing, puzzling, pool playing, dining…enjoyed it all!!

After a walk to the beach the spa was a “ten”!! The only sad part was leaving. So serene and beautiful we weren’t ready to leave. Next time we’ll book longer but I suspect the time will fly by again ❤️. Gladys

The property was awesome. The views were absolutely beautiful !! Very roomy and comfortable. We had an amazing stay !

We only had a few days at the Abalone Alcove, and they were lovely. Beautiful views of the ocean and bay. Would love to spend more time here. The home is a bit dated, but very comfortable & clean. Owner provides a parking pass to reach the beach area. We cooked and grilled and owners provided everything we needed for that. FYI, shop before arriving, as there is very little nearby that would equal a full on grocery. Easy day trips to vineyards and oceanside. Look forward to returning.

Loved the views, amazing views from all rooms. The house was clean and stocked with all the amenities.

We were all amazed at the views upon entering the property. The architecture of the house is fabulous and quirky. We enjoyed the amenities and were happy about the proximity to the beach. Overall a fabulous stay!

This rental fully met our expectations. Super clean & organized w/ spectacular views. The walk too/from the beach kicked out butts due to the large hill. But a small price to pay on the weekend when the line of folks in cars waiting to enter the beach parking lot was HUGE & we were able to walk right in w/o paying. Love that the restaurant in town offers water bowls for the pooches, & the store has a yummy selection of ice cream treats. We did the bioluminescence kayak tour through Blue Waters Kayaking in Tomales Bay which was the highlight of our trip. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Abalone Alcove is rustic and lovely. Well equipped and furnished. Spectacular views, comfy furniture. Loved the patio out back, which is a little sheltered from the big wind. The walk to beach and back is down a steep hill and back—so not for the unfit. Easy drive to beach, though. Already planning a return trip—new favorite!

Location of the home was spectacular. Kitchen fully stocked and great pool table for entertainment. House needs to be updated. House is very outdated.

You will love the Ocean View from the top main floor.

This home worked perfectly for our family of five plus our four legged boy! The main bedroom was upstairs and the other was downstairs with a pool table, tv, and plenty of movies and entertainment. Plenty of board games too! We drove down to the public beach and enjoyed the tide pools! I grew up coming here so Dillon Beach has a,ways been a magical place for me!

The view is extraordinary. Breathtaking really. The house is in great shape, and is quite interesting. Pieces of the history of the home adorn the walls for those interested. This is a perfect place for a romantic getaway, or a small family trip to the coast!

You can’t beat waking up to the view of Dillon Beach from Abalone Alcove. Every room on the top level has a spectacular vista. The kitchen is well equipped and the pool table provided lots of fun. The house is in need of updating but overall worked well for us. The hot tub was a nice addition as it was a bit cool and rainy. It was a little disappointing not to have a view. The tub is located inside a walled courtyard and when the cover is lifted, the small window with a view is blocked. Towels were not provided, as clearly stated, for outdoor purposes, but for those of us traveling from afar, it sure would have been a nice option. All said, we would definitely return.

Gorgeous views! Perfect house for dogs and families.
