This house is located right on the ocean path down to the water, short easy walk to the water down the dirt path. The house is amazing, with amazing views of the ocean, easy to check in and a large bonus game room.

The location is amazing, great deck overlooking the ocean. Just down the path gets you to a rocky beach, and on lower tide you can take a short walk over to the main part of Dillon beach.Really appreciated the very comfy king beds, game room in the garage, roomy house.

We are so glad you love the deck as much as we do! We would love to host you again.
This was a great house for three couples each with a baby. Each family was able to have their own large space with a bathroom. Loved the views at the house! Everything was really comfortable and cozy. We didn’t end up using the hot tub (we were told the jets couldn’t be used, only a soaking tub). The jets in the big bathtub in the owners suite and the body shower jets didn’t work. The trail down to the beach outside the house is definitely a challenging hike! We opted to walk to the other beach access (about 10 min walk). Game room in the garage was a lot of fun aa well! Overall it was a great stay! We loved the “treasure hunt” that was left for us to do!!

This house was great for our family of 10. The view is spectacular. The kids loved the game room, and we all enjoyed the awesome tide pools. The path to the beach took about 3-4 minutes with some rocks at the end. It was often cool and windy, but overall, I would highly recommend the TidePool house.
