This is an amazing home for a family with kids. Everything you could need for 12. Kitchen is incredible- fully equipped and fun to enjoy the ocean and the cows Access to Dillon beach is super!!9.5/10My .5 - we need a firm bed and none in the home. The upstairs is fabulous for grandparents but a new mattress would really really help. Awesome AB and B and super awesome if you are a soft bed fan

Family Get-together

We loved the layout of the house. It was very spacious and gave all of us privacy. The hot tub and game room were hits. The board games were as well. We even met a photographer on one of our walks who met us the next day and took family photos of us on the beach!

A fun long weekend

The home was truly beautiful and stocked with all kitchen equipment one could possibly want. Everything was clean and comfortable and the view was spectacular. We spoke several times with our hostess and she was helpful and went above and beyond. We would certainly consider staying again should the occasion arise.

Escaped from the Bay Area heat to a beautiful foggy oasis. The house is very well appointed and immaculate with comfortable beds and a large and very functional kitchen. We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub and taking in the beautiful vistas on our walk down to the beach. Hope to come back sometime!

We now can fish, sip wine, relax, now sandcastles, and relax more!! We hope you and your family enjoy Sea Filly as much as we do!!!
