About this property

KH: Life is a Beach

Magnificent ocean views from every room! Exquisite, high end remodeled beach house located in the quaint town of Dillon Beach, near Tomales Bay. Luxurious feel, with a cozy and charming atmosphere. Enjoy the beach, and then relax in the oversized hot tub located in the sun room which overlooks the amazing Pacific Ocean.

The space
"Beautiful upstairs with an amazing view, very well located with a nice walk to the beautiful beach. Wonderful for family time together in the big living/dinning/kitchen large room upstairs." - Emi, August 2018, *****

"We loved our stay. The views of the ocean are even more spectacular in person. We used the kitchen every day, and the hot tub every evening. The house was a great addition to a special trip!" - Rachael, July 2018, *****

"Scenic, quiet and comfortable home and location to enjoy a lovely getaway. ... Very remote location which is great for a quiet getaway, family reunion, etc." - Jennifer, July 2018, *****

"Amazing panoramic ocean views from enormous upstairs windows! " - Emily, July 2018, *****

"Coming from San Francisco we really appreciated the quiet and serenity of the beach house. There was so much room for all of our family to move around the space and felt right at home. The upstairs was so light and airy and the downstairs felt private. The jacuzzi was spectacular both during the daytime and evening." - Alisa, June 2018, *****

There is a spa/hot tub at this property. While we do our best to maintain the spa in operational condition, occasionally it may not be functioning while awaiting a repair or maintenance. As such, we are not able to guarantee the spa will be working during your stay. We are not able to offer any compensation if the spa is not operational during your stay.

Other things to note
* The cleaning fee includes the $100 hot tub fee. The hot tub is over sized, and an absolutely lovely addition, which is very costly to keep up. We are sure you will enjoy!

* Up to 2 small dogs or 1 large dog allowed with $150 pet fee. Please tell us about your pet/s when making the reservation. The pet fee does not cover damages by the pet, it does cover cost of deep cleaning and slight extra wear and tear expected. Renter is responsible to pay for any and all damage to the home during your stay. Pets are not allowed on the furniture.

* Absolutely no more than 4 cars can be parked on the premises. Cars parked on the street, or in other neighbors driveways will be promptly towed.

* Due to strict HOA regulations in this community, no more than 12 people may be at the property at any time, day or night. This includes registered overnight guests plus any local friends who may stop by. The homeowner is at risk of losing the vacation rental permit as a result of violations to the HOA regulations. As such, the following notice is required: "Be advised, Dale Holmes is our authorized agent to inspect and enforce compliance with HOA and house rules at 15 Kameha Dr, Dillon Beach, CA. Mr. Holmes is authorized to enter the home at any time to verify compliance with HOA and/or house rules.

Great house! Beautiful views and awesome kitchen (which is important to me)
This is our second time staying at this house. The layout works well for our family and we love the kitchen and living room area. The view is spectacular and it’s easy to drive to the beach. The giant hot tub is our kids favorite thing! Highly recommend!

Great Ocean Views and Beautifully Decorated.
The pics didn’t do it justice, great views from all rooms. The place could benefit from some deep cleaning as there were spider webs in some places and just some spaces that needed some extra care. I would definitely go back.
