Why This Home Stands Out
The Lookout pairs walk-to-beach convenience with the extra breathing room groups appreciate. Separate upper and lower living areas, two fireplaces, two full bathrooms, and multiple outdoor spaces let everyone spread out, while ocean views and Dillon Beach just a 5-minute walk away keep the coast at the center of your stay.


Living Spaces
Two comfortable living areas give families and groups extra room to relax after the beach. Ocean views, fireplaces, a Smart TV, and easy outdoor access create inviting spaces for gathering together—or enjoying a little downtime apart.


Kitchen & Dining
The fully equipped kitchen features a breakfast bar and dining space for easy vacation meals. Fire up the gas BBQ and take dinner outside to enjoy the fresh coastal air and sunset views.


BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Bedroom 1 — Queen Bed
A comfortable Queen bedroom for a restful night after days on the coast.

Bedroom 2 — Full Bed
A cozy second bedroom with a Full bed.

Bonus Sleeping Area — Two Twin Beds
A flexible sleeping area with two Twin beds, ideal for kids, teens, or additional guests.

Additional Sleeping — Sleeper Sofa
Provides additional sleeping flexibility for larger groups.


Bathrooms
Two full bathrooms make group stays more convenient, with a walk-in shower in one and a tub/shower combination in the other.

A washer and dryer are also available for guest use.


Outdoor Living
Start the morning with coffee and Pacific views from the upper deck, walk approximately 5 minutes to Dillon Beach, then return for an easy afternoon outside. Grill dinner on the gas BBQ, dine in the coastal air, relax on the lower patio, and catch the colors of sunset over the ocean.
Multiple outdoor spaces make it easy to move from beach day to sunset evening without missing a minute of the coastal setting.

Our recent stay at The Lookout was exceptional! The house is positioned perfectly, with the most amazing views of the Pacific while just a bit removed from the main drag for more privacy. The kitchen and house were exceptionally well-stocked with everything we could ever need, and we loved our little welcome basket! Communication with our host was near-instant, and we will definitely be looking at other rentals from this provider because they clearly understand how to make a vacation great. For just one example they offer a lot of add-ons if you're smart enough to take them, like a charcuterie board or private chef, activity ideas like massages, etc.! We will DEFINITELY get the charcuterie next time -- ooh la la luxury! If you are looking for a reliable, high-end stay at Dillon Beach for a great price, this is the place.

The views and peaceful location really do make it such a special home, and we’re so happy you were able to fully relax and enjoy everything it has to offer.

We loved staying at The Lookout. The cottage is adorable and clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and stay-in. Really enjoyed walking down to the store, restaurant and beach, hiking, playing card games, and just gazing at the water from the deck! It was the first time our English Lab, Chuck, had been on a beach. So fun!
