Historic Beach Cottage with Ocean View Deck - Steps to Beach

Located in the idyllic village of Dillon Beach, enjoy the stunning ocean views and the peaceful sound of waves in this charming cottage. Take pleasure watching whales and surfers from the front deck during the day or stargaze at night. Have your toes in the sand in just 3 minutes. This lovely retreat can bring a remarkable sense of peace and contentment.

The all wood interior makes use of its original 100 year old-growth redwood and fir. Relax in this light filled house by sitting in the window seat amongst the book lined shelves to read or just stare out the window. The side BBQ deck has a dining table and views of Tomales Bay.

This delightful coastal cottage has 1 bedroom with a queen bed and a pull out queen sleeper in the living room. There are 1 and ½ bathrooms. The queen bed is outfitted in soft organically grown cotton bedding from the local company Coyuchi. It sleeps 4 comfortably.

We have parking for 2 cars, WiFi, and the kitchen is fully stocked by someone who cooks! We welcome well-behaved dogs with an additional fee.

Magical Beach Cottage
Where to begin? With the amazing kitchen stocked for those of us who celebrate around food? (Seriously, the Cutco sandwich spreader had me at hello). Every exquisite, thoughtful detail obvious in the updating of the space? The incredible views? The close proximity of the dog friendly beach? We’ll never forget this trip and will be forever grateful to the wonderful host!

Love this cottage!
This cottage is even more impressive in person. We loved our stay there. Just the two of us occupied the property with some day guests. Plenty of seating options for dining. Great ocean views, parking for two cars, hop, skip and jump to beach and general store/cafe. It’s a gorgeous little place all the way around!

Very comfortable cottage for two plus a small dog. Well appointed. Nice quiet location and loved the short walk to the beach. Would definitely recommend it. Had slight trouble figuring out how to use the dishwasher as there were no instructions, everything else was excellent.

The property is newly renovated and beautiful! The finishes, fixtures and furnishings are top notch and strike a nice balance between the era of the original house and tasteful modern. Well done! My wife and I had a very nice weekend. Bring beer and wine, food, a book and relax with a fantastic ocean view and comfortable accommodations. Thanks!

Loved It
My family had a great time at the historic beach cottage. I gave it top notch scores on all categories. Even though it wasn't huge, there was plenty of room for the 3 humans and one 4 legged friend who stayed. The host communicated effectively and allowed us to check in a little early. Everything was updated and clean. I'd love to come back some day.

Top notch location and property!
Everything about our four night stay was lovely, especially working with Judy and Mark. The house was an early 1900's fishing shack that has been remodeled to modern standards and then some! The furniture, the cabinets, the acknowledgment of the history of the home, the walls, the linens and the location were all great! I'm happy to recommend this cozy home and hope that I can stay there again soon!

This small cottage was absolutely perfect for 2 people and 2 small dogs.
Loved the cottage. The owner thought of stocking it with everything you could possibly need that you would not be bringing yourself. The cottage has remnants of the original cottage still built into it, which was very cool. It is small but the interior was done with such good thought that it works perfectly with comfort and tastefulness If you are bringing your dogs, there is even a dog door which leads to a fenced in yard, which we were thrilled to see. I loved the 1/2 bath connected to the bedroom and a full bath with a nice shower nearby. My husband had his bathroom and I had mine. All the windows open to let in the fresh sea air. It was so close to the ocean and a nice ocean view from the living room. Parking off the street. The gas wood burning stove heated the cottage nicely when needed. Very comfortable stay .

Perfect
The house is impeccably designed (right out of my wife’s playbook) and you can’t beat the location and views. The main porch is a place you can stay for hours, sipping wine and watching and listening to the ocean. The bed is vey comfortable and kitchen has quality utensils and a full array of bowls, platters, etc. mostly, the charm and setting made for an outstanding weekend!
