Beautiful Views, 1/2 mile walk to Dog Friendly beach, Free WiFi, Pool Table

We just got back from one of the most relaxing weeks in my life. Our dogs just got back from one of the most exhausting weeks of their lives. The house is gorgeous and has all the amenities. The view is spectacular! Even though it rained a couple of days, we had the HDTV and the internet and a suitcase full of books to keep us occupied. Dillon Beach is one of the few remaining beaches that allows dogs and our pups romped in the surf and body surfed every day. A 1/2 hour trip to Hog Island results in a bag of fresh oysters which we ate raw, bar-b-qued and baked with garlic butter and Gruyere cheese. Nick's Cove on the way back from Hog Island has a crab 'n Mac n' Cheese and an oyster Po' Boy to die for. It is so quiet out there you'll think you've gone deaf and we never tired of just staring at the ocean as the pattern of the waves breaking changed each day along with the weather. A walk along the beach to the end and back is about a 3-mile exercise trip to help walk off that Mac n' Cheese. Petaluma and major grocery stores are only about 40 minutes away allowing you to restock the fridge as needed and the fellow Dillon Beachians are wonderful people and very friendly and accommodating. A short trip north takes you to Bodega Bay where Alfred Hitchcock filmed "The Birds" so you can re-live the movie that scared the poop out of you as a teenager. Tippi Hedren was actually in the restaurant at Bodega Bay signing autographs last time I was there a couple of years ago...and she's still gorgeous.
"Above and Beyond"...try it, you'll like it!!

This house is at the end of a cul-de-sac in an exclusive area in a development above the beach. The house is clean, nicely furnished, well-kept, and comfortable. The furnishings are new or next-to-new and are well-maintained. Bedrooms are downstairs; kitchen and living room up. The view is spectacular. The wifi was strong. One of our party has an issue with stairs, but because the kitchen, living room and half bath are all on one level, it was easy for him to get around. The dining room asily seats 8. It's just a very few minutes drive to the beach itself. I have rented lots of homes in the U. S. and abroad, and this is one of the nicest.

We had an absolutely lovely week at the beach. It was a great house. The kids enjoyed the play station and pool room and we enjoyed the great view! The distance from the beach is a healthy hike, we tended to drive the kids (teenagers) down with the dog and then we walked down to meet them. We typically walked back with the dog and then drove to pick them up. With skim boards and chairs and towels, the hike down to the beach and back would have been a bit much.

The house was clean, well-maintained. Beautiful view and great dinner table. We enjoyed spending time together in the upstairs and look forward to coming back.
