About this property

Private Coastal Retreat ~ Walking Distance To Beach

Fully restored Romantic, Coastal, Arts and Crafts Style Cottage, originally built in 1918, one of a few cottages build on the coast. This rare retreat has been restored and designed by two generations of builders and interior designers. It was originally a painting studio and is now a very special coastal retreat with all the best modern amenities.

The Summer street cottage has an all redwood interior, 17 foot high vaulted ceilings, 180 degree ocean view. The cottage is furnished with comfort and luxury in mind for the ultimate get away. Located just 200 strides from the beach down Bumble Bee Path.

Wake up each morning to the sun streaming in the windows and fall asleep each night to the sound of waves and the warmth of two cozy fireplaces. Spend your days relaxing on the patio and upper deck overlooking the ocean. Make some memories under the outdoor trellis with mounted heaters. Fall asleep in one of the two sleeping areas one King and one queen size bed.

The beds, bedding and bathroom should be the best part of any rental experience. The beds are fit with down comforters and plenty of extra blankets for curling up and relaxing. The large bathroom has a soaker tub and large rain head shower with radiant heat floor all finished in Calacatta marble.

A one of a kind place for that special occasion. The cottage has been featured in the Travel section of the New York Times, 'Elegant Bungalows'.

You have your choice of drip coffee, Nespresso machine or french press. We provide a selection of snacks, coffee cream, fresh butter and jam and of course a bottle of wine for your arrival. Grab an amazing loaf of fresh bread from Tomales bakery or the Dillon Beach market and enjoy.

Perfect Getaway

Cherried-out village cottage. Perfect for 1 couple. Great location and beach access, wonderful backyard, deck, and jacuzzi. Lovely beach vibe. Not the most affordable cottage in the village, but a worthy splurge.

Great house

Great little house for the weekend. Very cozy, and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Great location. Views were amazing from master and back patio and deck. Construction noise from the house next door was disturbing Friday evening and all day Saturday.

Everything was amazing from the booking, check in process as well as our stay. The property manager was friendly and easy to access if needed. The picture perfectly represents the property and the backyard and hot tub were fantastic. Worth the price!

Fun Birthday Getaway with my Husband!

This is a charming, well-appointed beach cottage. Everything was top quality, from linens to glassware to artistry. The kitchen is well-equipped, the view is lovely, and the location is ideal. Check-in and check-out was smooth, and there were fresh-baked scones from the local bakery in the kitchen, perfect with our morning coffee! Highly recommend the Full Circle Cottage!

25th Wedding Anniversary

My husband and I loved our stay at Full Circle for our 25th Anniversary. We loved the artwork and the magical lighting throughout the house and patio and the handmade book about the history of the house and surrounding area. We enjoyed spending time on the deck and patio, looking out at the ocean and listening to the waves. We found the village and beach to be charming as well.

Fantastic stay

We stayed here for our wedding weekend and could not have asked for a more perfect stay. The house was even better than the pictures! We woke up every morning to a beautiful view of the ocean. The house is only 2 min from the beach and coming back after a cold plunge to an amazing hot tub was such a perk. The communication was seamless and we were so happy we asked to stay an extra night. Could not recommend enough.

Great option in Dillon Beach

Beautiful arts-and-crafts style cottage with a million dollar beach view. Top-drawer amenities, including bath with heated tile floor(!), as well as super high quality bedding, linens, and towels. Inviting back patio area with overhead heaters and a gas fireplace. Dillon Beach itself was an amazing find: walkable and picturesque. Just a short drive from San Francisco. All in all, highly recommended.

Wonderful delightful relaxing

Charming, perfect getaway. What more to say? The description says it all. The neighborhood is quiet. The beach and wave sounds are ever present. Lots of sun and wind in the afternoon but the house is built so you can retreat and enjoy the elements in luxury and style.

Slice of Heaven

My wife and I stayed here to celebrate our 20th anniversary. This cottage is amazing. The views, the sound of the ocean, and the sense of togetherness ooze from inside the walls. Every day was a different beach adventure while strolling down the sand or catching low tide to explore what the ocean had been hiding the day before. Quick drive north to Bodega Bay for hiking and a quick drive south to explore Point Reyes. Absolutely wonderful and highly recommended for anyone wanting to reconnect with Mother Nature!

Everything it's made out to be

Absolutely gorgeous property and is everything described in the reviews and description. The property is just a short walk to the beach, however you can hear and see the ocean front every where on the property. They have thought of everything, from greeting us with a bottle of wine to the book about the history of the property to the heat lamps above the outdoor patio gazebo. You truly feel like this is a home away from home, even for just a weekend getaway. We will definitely be back!
