What is Spring like at Northern California Beaches?
The weather is usually mild and sunny and generally fog-free through May! Expect temperatures to range from Mid 50’s to Mid 70’s. Some say the Spring is the best season to visit! Wild poppy, iris, red hot poker, and sea foam plants carpet the headlands, while the sun shines clear and bright.
1. Explore the beaches, sand dunes and tidepools! The beaches are much less crowded!
2. Keep an eye out for Migrating Whales and Baby Seals!

"Bartley Family Beach
Thank you for inquiring about our stay.

We enjoyed ourselves for the 2nd time at this rental with our family.

The coffee maker was not working and was replaced rapidly. Thank you.
One large wine glass got broken in the dishwasher, sorry.

It was very warm inside when we arrived, and we opened the doors to cool it down. later with all the stormy weather it got cool, and we were unable to make it as comfortable as we would like with small children. We did use the fireplace, but it did not make much change. Perhaps we didn't know how to use it properly.

My only real problem was the internet. It was very weak and short ranged. I set my android phone (with AT&T) to wireless but 80% of the time I had no service. I needed to communicate back home but couldn't. My daughter had an iPhone and was able to use it more often. I would hope that you could make improvement in that feature.

We were there when the bad storm hit. We lost power several times but adapted fine. In the morning just before we left, we noticed the barbeque was no longer on the deck and the gutter over the garage was damaged.

We look forward to visiting again next year.

"Beautiful views
Perfect location for a two night retreat. The views are outstanding and the hamlet of Dillon Beach is a nice change from busier beach towns. "
Jan 31, 2024 - Richard H., Coeur d'Alene, ID



"A Perfect Retreat with Stunning Views
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Tide Pool. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views that greeted us. The location of the house is perfect! Just a short walk to get to the beach, and the village. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen is wonderful for cooking with a group. We had an issue with the BBQ not lighting and the management were right on it. They were quick to reply, so friendly and helpful. The game room was another highlight of our stay. It offered a great space for entertainment. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed gorgeous Dillon Beach sunsets on the expansive deck! We look forward to staying at Tide Pool again!"
Jan 22, 2024 - Kelly U., SACRAMENTO, CA



"Great place to stay!!!
House was perfect, ver clean and organized. Game room in the detached garage was a bonus for our family. Having the path down to the beach off the back deck was awesome!! Loved our weekend get-a-way. We will be back! "
Nov 27, 2023 - , Santa Rosa Ca, CA



"Great House but not really close to the beach per sey
Just so you know, the game room is detached from the house. The pic going down to the beach is a little misconceiving. The path next to the house is ok until you get to the bottom. You will be going down on your butt over the rocks to get to the small beach areas. Overall, the house was nice. Basically, a 3 bedroom. The master upstairs has bunkbeds in a closet. There is a couch that is a hid-a-bed in the livingroom. Ocean veiw was great. No fenced in area for your pup.(which they stated). The BBQ ingniter didn't work. The dishwasher door when opened and the bottom drawer pulled out basically put everything on the floor. (be carefull). We let the propery management know. It would have been nice to know which type of coffee maker they had which was both regular perk & Kuerig. Overall with the hiccups, it was good. "

"You didn't like what I had to say
I already left my review and you didn't like my honesty. You can't keep asking for another review until you're happy with it. That's not how reviews work."
Oct 31, 2023 - Gary P., Gold River, CA



"Great vacation home
My nine family members and I enjoyed our stay immensely. The location is wonderful, we found everything we needed supplied. We were so busy we didn’t get to use the wonderful game room enough. It was an easy walk to the beach except for my over eighty self. The beds and linens were very good. The hot tub needed servicing but that was the negative. I would love to spend time there again. Family memories were made. "
Sep 12, 2023 - Carol T., Ashland, OR



"Great family getaway
I will preface this that overall, our stay was great. There were some things that were "interesting", like the bunkbeds were in the closet. Which left little to no air flow. My son nicknamed it the "asylum room". So we moved the mattress to the floor of our bedroom. But overall the house had lots to offer. The game room was in the garage and had a separate entrance, but was filled with fun things, nonetheless. The showers were nice but we had our older father come and there were no walk in showers in the lower level of the home so that was kind of hard. But I think that I personally just need to be better at looking for that when reserving a home (that's not on owner). Like I said overall our time was awesome at the Tide Pool. It is a little pricey, which then makes you really nitpick the little things like crayon on the walls, dirty windows, cobwebs, broken screens, see through drapes, bunk beds in closets. But we love Dillon Beach and were just happy to be there with that amazing view. And the hot tub was a "must"! Especially with that view. "

"Great House Great View
House was amazing. Something for everyone. Clean, spacious, easy walk to the beach."
Jun 01, 2023 - Theresa B., Walnut Creek, CA



"great weekend
The house was located on a beautiful beach with easy beach access. So much to do. The house had all the games you could imagine. Kitchen was loaded with all our needs. Perfect size for hanging. The deck was beautiful and hot tub great. We would definitely go back. Thank you!!!"

"Family Fun
So much fun! We had a four day stay at "Tide Pool" and could not have been happier. First of all Wine Country to Coast were excellent resources for us and responded promptly to our needs, which were few. Description of the property on the website is reflective of what you will get when you walk into the house which was clean and inviting. Easily accommodated our 10 people comfortably, with lots of space, seating and a great kitchen (well stocked) for entertaining. The weather went from sunny and shirt sleeves to stormy, wet, and cold over the course of our stay yet we never wanted for anything as the temperature remained perfect and windows and doors were well maintained to mitigate the rain and cold temps that accompanied the storms. Game room was good although for us a bit too cold on the bad weather days. I would recommend this property without hesitation. "
Mar 09, 2023 - Christina V., Forestville, CA



"Tide Pool Stay
We could not have asked for a better experience, and we want to come back to this same house again! Five Stars all the way; open lines of communication, easy check-in and check-out, and beautiful views! Systems and appliances were state of the art and easy to use! Thank you, Dillon Beach Property Management, Inc.!!!!!"

"Fabulous property and location.
This home is in a great location and is fully equipped with everything you need. The views are incredible. Loved the path to beach a
nd game room. Will return."
Dec 13, 2022 - , Santa Rosa, CA



"Relaxing Place to stay
The living room, dining room, and kitchen area are very relaxing and beautiful full views of the ocean. Loved quick jaunt to beach right down the hill. The bed was pretty stiff in master. Showers need instructions on how to use. Jacuzzi spa in upper bedroom was not functional or if it was it was not understandable to use. The outside hot tub was very enjoyable to use and have a view of the ocean as you sat in it. Really comfortably fits 8 people as the pull out in the living room is a pain to use as both bedroom and living area each day but doable. Pictures seem to indicate the game room had a bed in it but it's the garage and then there is a loft above garage where there is another sitting room but pretty cold during winter months to use as a sitting room as above and open to garage. Garage is separate from the house. The heat was also locked so lowest could go was 62 and sometimes that was too hot for the day. Overall a nice place to use with views but layout of house would of been have been good to see online. But would use again if open as functional. "

"goat trail to beach
took the family with small children and had a blast . beatiful views from the house and porch, small trail to a more private beach was next to the house . a little climb but with help you can pass the little ones down the hardest section . "

"Family Memorial Service
This property couldn't have been more perfect for our family and to honor our parents. Location and view was amazing. Property managers were great with communication. My only recommendation is bring your own food the local store was pretty sparse. "
Jun 22, 2022 - Kathy E., Magalia, CA



"Retirement celebration!
Fabulous house, incredible view, well appointed kitchen! Everything was clean, comfortable beds, some wear and tear but overall everything was great."
Apr 11, 2022 - , West Sacramentp, CA



"nice. great view for painting!
The only problem was they needed more curtains on the bedroom downstairs. Also couldn't open the upstairs window for air !
I would not recommend it if you have little kids as there is no way to latch all the doors and it is near a cliff"

"Weekend getaway
Great for a weekend getaway, very spacious and quiet would definitely stay again "
Feb 20, 2022 - andrew j., Fairfield, CA



"Wonderful spacious house
We had a great time for my birthday staying at Tide Pool. The house was clean and spacious and had great views of the ocean, especially at sunset. "
Jan 31, 2022 - Christoph N., Oakland, CA



"The Perfect Beach Getaway
The view is perfect. The place is perfect. Theres a TON of kitchen supplies. We were able to cook everyday we were there. The game room is fun but its really just an accent piece to a house with a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean. Absolutely plan on staying here again. "
Aug 29, 2021 - , Sacramento, CA



"As close as it gets....
This house is amazing! We loved walking outside and down the path to the sand. What a great spot for a group that appreciates a well stocked game room and a view for miles.... The house was clean, comfortable, and as close to the beach as it gets. We can't wait to go back! "
Aug 05, 2021 - Joanna M., El Dorado Hills, CA



"Restful Beach Vacation
This is a large, beautiful house with all the amenities, a gorgeous view, and only a short walk to the beach. It's also quite close to restaurants and shops."
Aug 04, 2021 - , Santa Clara, CA



"Nice location, floor plan and management
We had a great time. The location is greatif you need a larger house. Beach access is doable if you’re fairly fit (steep and rocky—a long stretch/step at the bottom). The home had a useable floor plan. Clean, well stocked and mostly maintained. Missing screens on 2 of the 3 sliders. We had them all open and a bird flew in. Ice maker dispenser broken, which was a pain, and bedding had to be replaced due to funky/sour smell. Could be housekeeping didn’t let them dry completely before making the bed. Upstairs is stuffy due to no cross ventilation. Some of the kitchy decor could be removed for a more pleasing aesthetic. All in all a good home, but for the high price we expected perfection or close to it. "
Jul 03, 2021 - Cari H., West Sacramento, CA



"Paying for the location
The location is unbeatable but the house hasn’t been very well maintained. We have stayed at this house several times over the years and the views and the ease of walking to the beach are amazing. With that being said over the years the house continues to deteriorate- some touch up paint, replacing ripped curtains, fixing of misc broken items (windows, etc.) would really help. Most houses in this area are older but when you are paying top dollar for a relatively newer home in a great location you’d think a few hundred bucks would be spent on up keep. Not sure if we will rent here on our next visit as there are other older homes with a decent location that aren’t so pricey. "
Jun 10, 2021 - , Applegate, CA



"Lovely house at the ocean
The home and views were just amazing. The path to the beach was a bit rough, but worth it to make the climb. The managers were very responsive and the house is very nicely stocked"
May 05, 2021 - Gina J.



"Beautiful View!
The house is beautiful! Plenty of room for kids & adults. The game room was perfect for our 3 teens & 2 preteens. The path to the beach is easier than I thought it would be. Everything was clean & nice. We will stay here again."
May 03, 2021 - , Lehi, UT



"Fun beach house
Beautiful house in a beautiful location! We had a great time on the beach,and when it got too cold, the house was close and warm! My teens loved the hot tub and game room. Absolutely gorgeous views from deck! "
Apr 25, 2021 - , American Fork, UT



"Great time had by all
We stayed at Tide Pool for a week in March 2021. Our family had a wonderful stay. The upstairs bedroom with the small room with a bunk bed next to it was perfect for my son, daughter-in-law and there two young boys. The fact that there was a bathroom for each bedroom was very convenient. The game room was fun, but at this time of year it was cold (no heat in the game room and loft). We had everything we needed in the kitchen. The large hot tub was broken, so there was a small one person (or maybe two person) hot tub set up.

We highly recommend Dillon Beach Property Management. They are very responsive. The house was clean and comfortable."
Mar 30, 2021 - , Chico, CA



"Tide Pool Home
The views were exceptional, location was great and the home overall was spectacular. We loved the hot tub and the game room. We had our 2 1/2 year granddaughter who spent hours w the play kitchen. One of the toilets was making noise, it was repaired immediately. Will return!!!"

"Tide Pool
If it wasn't for the efforts of the Dillion Beach Vacation house team we may have walked on this rental.I think we have rented this house 5 or 6 times in November for a small family reunions (grandkids)The first couple of stays were fabulous! Then we could see the house begin to detriorate. Looked like hard use, to be expected from a rental property I suppose. However, broken bathrooms, hot tub with nearly all of the jets missing, a dishwasher that doesn't work, furniture that's falling apart is a little over the top for a $6000. a week rental! Please don't get me wrong, Dillion Beach Vacation rentals has done a great job of making it right (without prompting)THANK YOU! However, it would have been much nicer just to come and enjoy the property without the limitations. We live in the Sierras with numerous vacation properties in our neighborhood which makes us aware of the pitfalls into vacation rental. So because of the last few years events, we will be taking our business to Sea Ranch! Sad! I've be visiting Dillion every year since I was 12. I'm 65 now. Please pass this message to the owner. Time to fix it or quit! Again THANK YOU Dillion Beach Vacation Rental for the job you can't be easy!!

What a GREAT vacation! The home was absolutely beautiful and right on the cliff overlooking the beach. The path down to the beach was right next to the home, so super easy access. Can't wait for our next Dillon Beach vacation!!!"

"Outstanding home and management
This house has the most amazing view! We stayed for 7 days and cooked all our meals in the well appointed kitchen. The management team is responsive and answered all our questions given changes with COVID. The house was clean and comfortable for 4 adults and 4 kids. I will definitely come back."

"Dillon beach retreat
We spent two nights at this property with my son and family. We wished we could have stayed longer. The kids loved the game room. The access to the beach was very easy. One day I sat at the porch watching dolphins swim back and forth at a distance while my grandson braved the cold waters. The kids also enjoyed flying kites at the beach. I woke up one morning to see three deer chilling in front of the house. "
Aug 02, 2020 - , albany, CA



"Perfect family friendly getaway
The view is so good we had to pinch ourselves to make sure it’s real. The house was so nice and comfortable. We especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen. My 2-year old helped us cook every meal. And the house was immaculately cleaned prior to our arrival. We hope to go back!"
Jul 15, 2020 - , Rocklin, CA



"Location
What a wonderful location! Such easy access to the beach. This home was very spacious and had a lovely updated kitchen . Our favorite place was the hot tub on the back porch.
The Master bath had a lovely deep jetted tub for two but unfortunately the jets would not turn on and turning on the bathroom lights kept blowing the fuse. Other than that the house was great and the bonus room with ping pong, shuffleboard and pool table was lots of fun! "
Jul 14, 2020 - Maria C., Auburn, CA



"A great place for the family
My family had a great time staying at Tide Pool. The view couldn’t be beat and I loved listening to the waves at night. The place was clean and the beds were comfortable. After strolling the beach and having a soak in the hot tub, we would head to the game room for some fun family competition. It really was a wonderful time. "

"NYE at Dillon
Our family had a fabulous time at the Tide Pool. We've been going to Dillon at NYE's for decades and absolutely loved the house and location!"
Jan 06, 2020 - rose j., pleasanton, CA



"Spectacular ocean views
The property management team was excellent - someone ALWAYS picked up the phone or called back soon. Same good response with emails. We had a problem with an electrical breaker for the hot tub and they had help out at the house within about an hour.

Ocean views from the living room, deck, and hot tub were spectacular. The kitchen was fully equipped and everything worked well. The game room ping pong table, pool table, and shuffleboard were all in functional working order although definitely not brand new.

A minor point that would make the property more "senior friendly" - please trim the iceplant by the steps down from the driveway so we can reach the handrail more easily.

Not a complaint - just an FYI for future guests - the beach trail beside the house might be risky for seniors or young children especially after a rain when it is slippery. There are some steep drops in spots where the trail narrows. But it is only a walk or short drive of several blocks to easy beach access with paid parking.

Highly recommended!"

"Tide Pool Vacation
My family and I (5 adults) enjoyed 5 nights at Tide Pool. We were fortunate to have perfect mild to warm weather, unusual for October. The house was perfectly located on a cliff next to the beach path. We saw many deer and hawks. The house had 3 showers, however only one was working shower. The master shower had an out of order sign, and the shower in the hall down stairs had a drainage issue. Although there was also a tub in the master bathroom with a spray nozzle, that could be used while sitting in the tub, my family choose to all use the same functioning shower. The beds all had mattresses that were covered with a vinyl/slippery fabric. There beds did not have mattress pads or fitted sheets. The result was the bottom sheet instantly slid off the mattress. The beautiful kitchen, although well appointed with many fancy kitchen gadgets lacked regular drinking glasses. "
Nov 07, 2019 - , Santa Barbara, California



"Beautiful Location- Beach View
Wonderful Stay. Here for 4 nights with family of 7. House is very comfortable and beautiful view. Great Kitchen, and decks. Very Clean and management easy to contact. Could use new deck seating and upstairs shower is tricky.. shower enclosure has gaps. Need more glassware. But definitely would stay here again!!!"
Apr 03, 2019 - Vicki S., Lodi, CA



"2018 holiday house
The space in the house worked well for our 7. Our concerns were the lack of grab bars in the shower/tub area. Being elderly I dared not take a chance of falling. The sleeping pillows were lumpy.
Also a lack of adequate reading lamps at bedside, and it would have costed the owners little to

provide the small bath bar soaps, shampoo/conditioners and hand lotion. Yes, the
instructions did mention the soap but 4 of our guests forgot to bring a bar. We never did find a salad bowl but used a large skillet instead. "

"Tide Pool Review
We had a very nice time. The house, deck and view are spectacular. We were a little surprised to find the bunk beds in the master closet. The photos depict they’re in a separate room. The master bed and the couch are in need of replacement. Other than that, we had a great time!"
Nov 06, 2018 - Cristen G., Rohnert Park, CA



"Perfect for family with kids
We had a terrific time with our kids and grand-kids (ages 2-8). Close enough to the beach that we could easily get to the sand, but not so close that we worried about a toddler sneaking out and getting to the water alone. The large open family room area was great for congregating - we could easily see the little kids from the kitchen & dining table.
The BBQ grill is large enough to accommodate a lot of food. The kitchen is well stocked with plates, glasses, pans, paper towels, etc.
The playroom equipment is a little battered, but it was still fun. The toddler play kitchen was a big hit with our gang!!
Bring your own hairdryer if you need one. "

"Tide Pool family gathering
Great location with functionality issues. Master shower was broken at the time of our visit...ice maker in fridge not working correctly. No screens on doors or windows and in order to get a breeze flies and yellow jackets were coming in so could not open windows or sliding doors. On a positive note the views were beautiful and the deck was enjoyed when the yellow jackets weren’t there."

"Tide Poo.l has many benefits
The proximity to the trail to the beach is good, but creates a lot of foot traffic. Not terribly private, and hot tub has no "privacy" either. Wish the deck were enclosed so children (and pets) could be out there. All guests complained their beds were hard and uncomfortable; probably time to replace the mattresses. Kitchen was GREAT the radiant floor heat amazing too.Number of bathrooms and how beautiful they were was certainly a plus.

"Great Place
Once we figured out the light switches to lights we did great. The pool table etc. were great, us old folks had fun as well as the two teens. Rocking chair it really neat but needs some TLC (Glue/Screws) Hall Lights blinked on and off. Called them about that - might be wiring. Need night lights in bathroom. Great walk down the hill and nice to be so close to the path to the ocean."

"Great beach vacation
Had a great time! The house is so nice and the game room was popular with the kids. Hope we can stay here again!! "
Aug 14, 2018 - , Sonoma, CA



"Never a full moment
Fantastic house. So much to do. Pathway easy down to beach but it's not safe if you have leg,hip issues. Careful if you have dogs. I noticed there are foxtails everywhere on the property and on the streets. Too hilly to ride bikes for little ones but one street over has 2 level cul de sac and safe area to ride around. Great natural air conditioning if you're sick of inland 105 degree weather!#"

"House needs maintenance, views are amazing.
Besides the great location and beautiful view, we rented this home for the “game room”. However, the game room looked and smelled as if we were at a frat house. The card room reeked of smoke and the ping pong and foosball table were in horrible condition. We didn’t even bother to take the cover off the pool table. Needless to say, we didn’t spend any time in the garage or upstairs in the card room. Which was extremely unfortunate because that was why we chose the Home. The twin bunk beds were actually in the master bedroom’s walk in closet which I don’t remember reading about in the discription. One of the sliding glass doors didn’t even have a lock on it and they use a poker stick from the fireplace to keep it closed. One of the beds had a blood stain on the sheets and they didn’t even leave enough towels for everyone or sheets for the pullout bed. It’s obvious that maintenance is not kept up on this home. However, the views were absolutely stunning and it is a quick walk to the beach. "

"Yearly Boys Trip
The game room was a huge hit! It’s a bit pricey but you won’t find another house with a deck like this house right on the ocean with beach access out your front door. The best surprise was a beautiful buck that ate breakfast every morning in the front yard!!! "

It was an ok spot, the fridge was working intermittently as well as a broken shower door upstairs"

"great place to stay
This is our second time of renting this house. We have enjoyed both stays. The hot tub is great, along with the 's so close to the beach, and just a short ride to dinner houses. I do have a problem with some of the maintenance .I could not close the main bedroom door until I put new screws in the hinge. I called about the guest shower and left a message that it was not working. We were not informed about it until we got home. other wise we had a good stay.I recommend the house."

"Our new home away from home
From the minute we arrived at dusk and seeing and hearing the waves crash, I knew we had made the right choice in rentals. The house has a beautiful view of the ocean! We would open all the doors and windows and the sound and cool breeze instantly melted all our stresses away.

The house was perfectly staged for our arrival, dimmed lights music playing and fresh towels latex out on all the beds. The kids instantly gravitated towards the game room as we unpacking four our four day stay.

There was every imaginable cooking utensils, pots and pans, but the waffle maker was a hit every morning.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying here.

I do only give four stars on condition as the furniture is dated and the couches are not conducive of actually lounging. That would be my only complaint is they do need to upgrade.Had no trouble sleeping in the beds though.

"Nice home, chintzy owners
Five of us stayed here from Dec 26 to Jan 2. The home is nice; wonderful wraparound sunny deck on the south and west sides with lots of sun and good views. The overall experience was marred by cost cutting by the owners. Examples: no glassware, only plastic except for some punch bowl glasses. One wine glass, many plastic ones, one martini glass, many plastic. The shampoo was in individual packets reminiscent of Motel 6. Same with the tiny bars of soap. There was no kleenex (two people had colds), no sugar, no flour, no Pam, no salt shaker. Bathrooms supplied with single ply toilet paper (really? at $5000 per week?!) Light on the stairs was out, the jets and hand shower in master bathtub didn't work, and the right front burner was not working. Called the property management company (they are closed Weds) but no return call. The trail to the beach goes right by the deck so there is a steady stream of people and dogs going by - one day someone deposited their trash on our deck. Although the home is nice we will not stay there again."

"Annual Family Vacation....
Every October we have rented this home for a family vacation. The location to the beach is perfect... the sunsets are amazing and to put it simply every year when we walk through the doors it feels like we are returning to our own home! Over the years; we have lost family pets that have come to Dillon with us and added grandchildren and even had a proposal on the deck this year! Tide Pool and Dillon Beach will always hold a very special place in our families heart! It's perfect!"

"Pretty but Problematic
Lovely home with amazing view but the house had many issues that kept us from fully enjoying our experience: the biggest problem was a broken refrigerator. We called as soon as we arrived and it was clear this has been an ongoing issue. We were told to unplug the fridge and wait for 10 minutes. We had to keep doing this all weekend as the appliance kept showing the same error code and would not keep our food cold enough, so we had to go buy ice and keep items in an ice chest--felt like we were camping not staying at a luxury home. Also, both downstairs bathrooms had plumbing issues: sinks and showers were clogged and pooled dirty water. Additionally, the bathroom in the hallway has no curtains so there is no privacy when showering--there were painters working on a neighboring house so this was tricky. Many of the lighbulbs flicker or do not work at all. The light over the kitchen sink blinked and we could not turn it off--very creepy and a bit scary as it seems like there may be serious electrical issues. The ceiling fan in the upstairs bedroom is very noisy; sounds like it is loosely attached and pretty rickety. The fan was a must because the upstairs windows cannot be opened and it gets pretty stuffy. Lastly, there are no windows on the screens and the place is filled with flies. Aside from these issies, the place is great. Some repairs are in order if they want to continue renting this place out. Especially since they charge premium rental rates."
Sep 27, 2017 - , Sacramento, CA



"Beautiful home, Fantastic Views, Nice and Quiet.
Window in the master has been in need of repair for a long time. It had a sign on it to not open. The ceiling fan in the Master rocked and made noise at high speed. Kitchen cabinet door off the hinge. Wine cooler in the kitchen did not work. There was no Ice maker in the Freezer. Be sure to bring Ice. We enjoyed our stay, but if paying top dollar you would expect that the place would be in tip top condition. I would return or highly recommend this property if all repairs were done."
Sep 09, 2017 - Arlene B., Napa, California



"Great weekend with our family.
Nice location and the bedroom bathroom situation was fine. The Master did not have a window that opened, so could not get any air."

" Tide pool
House was great! Loved the labeling made putting things away much easier. Just wish the grass and weeds were mowed down so the kids could play on the grass and so when my dog walked through she did get fox tails. Bunk beds in the master was weird but understood your trying to fit as many people as possible. Our overall stay was fantastic and can't wait to come back. "

"Tide Pool was amazing!!
We arrived at 3:00 promptly to check in for our stay at Tide Pool. We entered our code in to the lock box, got the key and opened the door to a beautiful very clean house! Everything about our experience was super smooth. The email/cell phone communication was great. The house was even better and exceeded our expectations, inside and out. We had a great time! We will absolutely book again! All you need to bring are towels for the hot tub, and your special oils, and spices to cook with ( the confirmation letter we received before we arrived told us this so we came prepared!) Thanks again for an awesome, memorable family experience!!!! Definitely good times!!! "

"Whale watching and dolphins from the back deck
Tide Pool was even more beautiful in person. The house was very clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook for a family. The highlight for my family were the dolphins and whale. We watched all afternoon from the deck. The dolphins were there all week. I will not hesitate to vacation there again."

"Tide Pool Review from the Lin Family
This is a very nice, clean vacation rental. It's dog friendly which is key for us - our animals are all under solid voice command and well trained. It appears other renters have also solid pets because the place is immaculate. Very nice to know other pet owners are also responsible.

The path to the beach is a fun adventure, scrambling down the ravine and over the rocks. It's a perfect way to start the beach walk and gives you that last little challenge to get back home after a time at the shore.

Dillon beach is great for swimming too which makes the walk to the beach even more valuable.

The view out the front bay windows is stunning... at all times of the day though the sunrises and sunsets are the most appealing - totally picture worthy!

"Tide Pool House
The house was amazing and the location perfect. The property management company was very helpful when we needed to get the propane filled for the grill.
The only negative issue is that all the beds need an upgrade. The mattresses were hard and pretty uncomfortable. Other than that, we all had a great time and would love to come back next year."
Aug 02, 2016 - , Novato, California



"Tide Pool House
Pros--Great location and beautiful spacious house. The views from around and inside were awesome. We all really enjoyed how close the trail to the beach was. Cons- not so clean in certain parts of the house. Shortage of towels and some were even dirty that was there. Ice maker didn't work..Some game room equipment not in the best of shape and the area wasn't cleaned too... Couch in game loft had a huge stain on it and was gross. Really wished it was better cleaned since we had to pay a cleaning fee. We left the place cleaner when we left and the small broom was horrible when sweeping the whole place. Need something bigger and no vacuum was provided. Ants traps everywhere so beware if you have small children. Even found one in a board game... Overall had a good time and just wished it was cleaner...."

"Perfect home for beach vacation with family
Home was clean, new and perfect for our family. Hot tub, ocean view, short walk to a huge dog friendly beach and the master bedroom also had a room next to it for our granddaughter. The garage was filled with a pool table, air hockey, ping pong and poker table. Hours of fun when the fog came in. Loved our few days !"

Jun 22, 2016 - , Acampo, CA



"pleasant home
The home is new and spacious. It's nicely decorated and comfortable. It's right on the bluff and the view is great. THe rental agents are friendly and really pick up the phone at any hour if you need to contact them. However, the house is RIGHT NEXT TO the path leading down to the beach and you can hear every person passing by. They are literally feet from the living room. The hot water is strange too - you have to turn on a switch and then wait 5 minutes before you can get any hot water. It's obnoxious. The grill also didn't work - but wasn't a big deal for us. It's a fine house but being so close to that path takes away a lot of the privacy."
Dec 29, 2015 - , Redwood City, Ca



"Perfect Weekend Getaway with the Family
First of all I want to give Dillon Beach Property Management a big thumbs up for the service they provide! It was a pleasure to deal with them in setting up our vacation rental. The home itself is well appointed and very clean. The location is unbeatable with a direct ocean view and a trail down to the beach. A restaurant is within walking distance as well. Most of the shopping and more restaurants are located in Bodega Bay, which is approximately 30 minutes away but with a home like this we didn't have the urge to leave the property for too long. There is a ping pong table, air hockey table and pool table in the garage and a hot tub on the deck. The ping pong paddles could use replacing and the air hockey table is probably on its last legs but that is the extent of my suggestions for improvement."

"Amazing views and beautiful house!!
The house is fabulous, the views are priceless, and the entire experience was wonderful! We had 10 adults, and it really does NOT sleep 10 adults comfortably. There are 3 bedrooms and a loft with a futon that is not really big enough for 2 adults. There are also bunk beds inside a large walk-in closet! adults!! We brought an inflatable queen-sized bed for 2 and put it on the living room floor. So it's really comfortable for about 7. But it's a great house!!"

"Wonderful Dillon Beach Vacation
The House was ready for us when we arrived. The view from the front room and porch is spectacular, and the trail to the beach was literally straight in front of the deck. Kitchen was great and fully stocked. Game room is a bonus, and although it needs some repairs, it was a great retreat for the kids. "
Jun 11, 2015 - Fredrick Z., Vacaville, CA



"A Good House To Remember
I like the view the house. Wish it was down the beach climbing up and down the trail to the beach and back home was a little scray. The house was nice and clean I like it. Wish the play room was connected to the house.

Had a little trouble with the hot tub. Follow the instruction NO sand NO drink or food but got charge $175.00 due to dirty water. Per owner stated like pee or something.

Next time if the owner let I will clean the pool myself without charge. Other than that everything was great."

"Coastal Bliss!
Tide Pool is a beautiful, spacious house right on the bluff overlooking the long golden sands of Dillon Beach. We were two couple and a dog, and there was still plenty of room in the house. The house is very well maintained and the wrap round view of the beach is stunning. A very short walk (less than 5 'ins) down the convenient path to the side of the house takes you right to the sand. Dillon Beach and Tide Pool are both dog friendly.
The property management company were extremely helpful and very organised. They made our entire stay very easy and relaxing.
Tide Pool is a great house for a couple or larger group looking to relax and soak up all the natural beauty of Dillon Beach and its coastline. I would definitely stay here again!

This vacation home is in the perfect location. Just steps to the beach, with beautiful views. Listen to the waves sing all night long. Called for one bit of help, and Dale was there right away. The views of the ocean were stunning, the stars were outstanding! 45 minutes takes you from the sea, to the redwoods, to Sonoma Country, to Lagunitas Tap Room, to fantastic restaurants, and of course, small town festivals! Always returning to peace and serenity at Tide Pool."

"3 State Reunion
We love Dillon Beach and we had a family reunion here. This was one of two houses rented. You cannot beat the location as long as you don't mind people walking past the house, as it is right on the trail. So easy to walk to the beach if you are not a toddler or elderly. The house is beautiful, modern and spacious. No houses to block your view makes it wonderful. We enjoyed the house and upstairs bathroom amazing. My issues were the following(Read the fine print)The house would only provide one roll of T.P. per bathroom (ok put TP on the shopping list)and you had to bring your own towels (NOT OK). We discuss this with the management as traveling on planes with towels was NOT happening, as we were coming from 3 different states. They gave us towels but very sparingly. We had to wash towels during our stay and with a water shortage it would have been smarter to provide towels fully vs having us do half loads of laundry. The house also is not set for sound well. With a group of people sound travels everywhere even with bedroom doors closed. The game room was good to get the kids into another space but needs a bit more work to make it more inviting. A game or two not fully functional and they are working on a bonus room, hangout space which will be good for groups."

"Great 50th Wedding Anniversary Weekend.
We had a great time and the home has everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. My only complaint is that the house was listed to sleep 10 persons but it is good for three couples not four. One of our guests slept on what they called a pull out which was like a Futon. No privacy at all and very uncomfortable. The twin bunk beds are in a room directly off of the master bedroom upstairs so if you have children that is great for them to be near parents. The trail to the beach is adjacent to the home so it is very easy access to the beach."
Aug 21, 2014 - Joan D.



"tide pool
nice, clean house. great location to beach, deck with views of ocean is nice. Very hard to fit the 10 people though. 3 couples comfortably, pair of bunk beds in a walk in closet and they are small. Only real complaint. Management was attentive, Carlos, who came by a few times to take care of things, was very nice."
Jul 30, 2014 - , Sacramento, CA



"Fantastic house for family vacation!
We rented TidePool for the 4th of Juky weekend. The house is practically brand new as we recall the house being built the last time we came to Dillon Beach. The house has an open layout downstairs, very roomy. The upstairs was also spacious with plenty of sleeping space. The "extra" room upstairs with bunks was bigger than we expected-not bad considering it's actually a walk-in closet! The kids (teens & 20s) really enjoyed the garage set up with ping pong etc. the room above will be great when completed. They spent hours playing video games and listening to their music without us being able to hear them! I loved the location and listening to the waves crashing in the evening!"

"Tide Pool Review
Some people in my group had concerns re: cleanliness (toliets), squeaky doors, confusion about how much cleaning was expected on our part before we left. We were not clear on emptying garbage, floors, etc. I chose property and was very happy with my stay. Its a beautiful house in a grand location."
Apr 29, 2014 - Rita M., Novato, CA



"Perfect for a 3-generations family holiday.
Great house, close by beach. Beware that the path is a bit treacherous, but that made it fun and even our 5 year old could handle it fine.

Big advantage: a double-sized garage with a pool table, ping pong, air hockey, and even a poker table. Our grandkids loved this option, particularly since the weather was chilly so all-day beaching was not an option. Also, great hot tub. These amenities plus the extraordinary beauty of Dillon Beach and a great house setup made it a terrific vacation. Another great feature was the layout of the rooms: our kids who have 5 children stayed on the top floor, with its own bathroom plus beds for everyone. on the main floor was a bedroom with bath for our son and his family (one infant) and another bedroom with its own bath for my husband and myself."
Apr 25, 2014 - Susan H., Denver, Co



"Staff Appreciation weekend
I took my staff here for an "appreciation weekend," and although it has a great location, I personally would stay in this house again. There must be damage in the pipes, or something not set-up properly, because if you showered upstairs, water damage was happening to the ceiling below. We called immediately about this issue. For the most part, it was clean. We found someone's dirty sock under the couch at the top of the stairs when we were making it into a bed. The knives in the kitchen are dull, and we would reccomend more big bowls for cooking. We have stayed at 6 different homes at Dillon Beach, and I would rate this one somewhere in the middle of the 6.

Over all my family and were very pleased.

"The perfect location for a perfect vacation!!!!
First off....I must state that we've rented homes in Dillon Beach for approximately seven years and this home is our new favorite! The location was perfect for our daily trips down to the beach. We were able to walk easily down the path and even my parents (who are in their early 70's made it down with some help!). The property has a very nice deck with a BBQ, hot tub and a nice sized table that we used daily for meals! The inside of the house is very well equipped. All of the bedrooms (2 downstairs and the master upstairs)had everything we needed and the kitchen was well equipped with utensils, coffee maker, blender, etc....
There are many flat screen TV's and they have Directv so we were able to watch our football games!!! We only used the game room a couple times and they do have pool, ping pong and foosball but most of the tables were older and not in great condition!
All in was a perfect place to celebrate my parent's 49th wedding anniversary! We had everything we needed, the house is located in a PERFECT location for our daily beach trips AND most is dog friendly! We'll definitely be back!! "

"Great escape
Wonderful home and view. Beautiful dark night sky. Loved the hot tub. Kitchen had every appliance. Easy walk down to beach. (Though not suitable for older unsteady relative.). Just remember to bring groceries! Local store was extortion--$7.50 for tub of vanilla ice cream. Bring fleece too. SF summer fog can be cold. "

"Great time!
What an incredible home, and I mean home. It felt like you walked into your own home, comfortable, great kitchen for the family feast, with a dining room table that all 10 of us could enjoy! Weather could of been better but hot tub was a treat! Absolutely a great place to stay...manager where super helpful! Do it!!"

"Tide Pool
A beautiful new house on the bluffs above the beach. Great view and beach access. Its beatifully finished inside. So new it hasnt been finished yet, there are no railings on the front porch, the front yard is not landscaped and the game room is in the "unfinished " garage and the game tables are all in pretty well used condition."

"Beautiful home and amazing views.
House was new and clean. There was a few minor issues that come with a new house. We loved the master bedroom and master bath. It says it sleeps 10 but one of the beds is a pullout and is for little people. Another bed is located in a large closet area it's a air mattress, no one wanted to sleep in there it doesn't have any air flow or windows (stuffy). We put our own air mattress down stairs. If you have kids it is a ok room then. The other two bedrooms were very nice. Kitchen was nice had about everything we needed and was fun cooking. Hot tub was wonderful soaking and watching the waves roll in. Beautifull view from inside and out. You can't beat the location just hop on the trail right in front of the house and your at the beach in 2 minutes. It was perfect for our kids they wandered to the beach all the time. Tide pools are really close also. We had a great time playing in the game room pool, ping pong etc. would definitely rent again. "

"Gorgeous, Like living in a novel
This place was absolutely wonderful! The view and walk down to the beach made me think of some novels that I've read. The house had everything we needed in great condition. The beach below is so beautiful and easy to access. There are deer that visit the neighborhood each evening. We were close to Point Reyes Seashore, Bodega Bay, and a short drive to the wine country. We would definitely rent this house again!"
