About this property

Looking over the Pacific and Point Reyes, your elegant, relaxing retreat

Luxuriate and relax in this elegant, well-appointed, view-rich home. A jacuzzi and sauna sit on the deck, with views of the beach and whitewater, Tomales Point, Tomales Bay, and the Pacific beyond.

Two of our three bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. You’ll find the things you need and want: Sonos throughout the house, Nespresso in the kitchen, Ghilchrist and Soames soaps and shampoos in every bathroom. Four hangout areas - there's a living room upstairs, a lounge downstairs, the deck out back, AND a 590-square-foot teenzone/movie area with Peloton, foosball, ping-pong, full-body Dreamwave massage chair, PlayStation 5, vintage ‘80s video game console, and giant, memory-foam LoveSac “beanbag.” (Imagine if NASA made a beanbag...)

And when you arrive, you'll find chilled sparkling wine and Pellegrino in the fridge, and a $25 gift card for the Dillon Beach General Store ready for your use...

Explore the environs; visit California's only private beach down the hill; unplug, relax, restore. Open the windows before bed; fall asleep to the calming sound of surf; awaken to birds singing and deer grazing in your back yard. Warm yourself with our three fireplaces, upstairs soaking tub, and outdoor jacuzzi.

Feeling adventurous? Dillon Beach is your central HQ for day trips to great nearby destinations: Bodega Bay, Point Reyes National Seashore, Marshall, Occidental, Sebastopol, Tomales Bay, Sonoma wineries, golf courses, the Russian River, and more. Did you bring your electric car? Fill up your battery with our level two car charger. (No addition fee for this - fill up on us!)

The mile-long private beach is well-maintained and has a chill vibe. North of the beach, you'll find tide pools and access to hikeable, pristine coastal nature trails.

For those of you keeping an eye of concern on California’s annual wildfire threats, please know that Dillon Beach sits (quite fortunately) outside California’s primary fire zones. (Search for the California Fire Map and the California Air Quality Map to check current status, of course...) Our town is generally an excellent place to hide out when fire danger increases - and this is one house that does NOT price gouge during fire season. We’re on the higher end of prices all year round, and even moreso during holiday weekends and peak beach months - but not for public safety emergencies. Because we’re all in this together!

And to prepare for unexpected issues, we've installed solar panels and house batteries. Should PG&E have a power shutoff event, the lights/heat/fridge/etc will remain powered up for days, with the stored battery power and the replenishment of the solar panels.

If you want activity, there are walkable, picturesque hikes upon which you can set out directly from the house - or drivable to, if you so desire. You can join others relaxing strolling and surfing and boogie boarding (use our beach chairs, boogie boards, beach wagon and beach bags, please!) and fishing on the beach. Drive north or south for restaurants and attractions; enjoy fresh oysters found at world-famous oyster farms near Dillon Beach along Tomales Bay: Hog Island Oyster Company and Tomales Bay Oysters. Nick's Cove is also a lovely restaurant destination, ten minutes south on Highway One, and Rocker Oysterfellers to the north in Valley Ford is a lively alternative.

And we're constantly updating our home. Here's the current rundown:

Select reviews:

“Alex's elegant, remote beachside retreat is one of the nicest Airbnb's I've stayed at. I'm a bit of a snob about house rentals and this place surpassed my expectations - possibly the first time the house is even better in person than in the photos. All the furnishings, design choices, and appliances/electronics are top of the line. You can tell that every detail has been thoughtfully curated by the owners.” – April 2021 guest

“This is an incredible home with magnificent views. We are planning on coming back next year.” – May 2021 guest

"We had multiple age groups in our small family group and everyone was absolutely entertained. The “zone” was perfect for lounging, playing games, enjoying a massage, or getting in a good workout. The views from the kitchen, living room, master, and spa are a perfect representation of pure Northern California perfection! The morning fog adds a wonderful mystic layer and as it lifts for the day the wildlife starts to parade in." - August 2021 guest

“Prepare to have your jaw drop as soon as you enter this beauty. The huge picture window offers stunning views of Dillon Beach.” – May 2021 guest

“Alex was one of the best hosts we have dealt with and we have stayed at many vacation rentals. His communication was superb.” – June 2021 guest

“This place is a true gem. The views are breathtaking. The home is spacious and has everything you need to feel at home. I’ve never had a more accommodating, personable, and warm host. Alex went to great lengths to make sure we had everything we needed for a great stay.” – March 2021 guest

Thanks!

Beautiful home and view!
This house was a great find. Not only is the view amazing from every room it has something for everyone in the family. It was also very clean. Unfortunately due to the crazy storm this past week we had to cut our trip short. The owner was very attentive to our needs and we can't wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Alex

Host profile image
We are a Bay Area family, and live an hour away. We stay here when we can - Dillon Beach is a favorite location of ours when we need to decelerate.

Why they chose this property

Dillon Beach is special. It's one of our favorite places. Nature, wildlife, ocean, views, hiking trails starting three minutes away, a calming vibe and wide-open spaces make this a fantastic retreat. The views from the living room, the lounge, the bedrooms, the deck, the hot tub, and the balcony are mesmerizing.

What makes this property unique

If you want Lots Of Things To Do, Dillon Beach isn't an ideal destination. If you want a place to RELAX, it couldn't be more perfect. Quiet, remote (yet only an hour from the Golden Gate Bridge!), and tranquil, it welcomes those who seek an opportunity to recharge. (And your energetic kids can get their energy out with foosball, ping-pong, PS5/retro video games, card games, board games, and roaming around the canyon - but you don't have to!)

Dillon Beach is a place where wildlife roams freely. If you walk down the hill for a morning latte from the General Store, you'll likely see grazing deer, bevies of quail, wild hares, and ever-present soaring raptors above. (Perhaps even a furtive coyote looking for a quick meal!)
