About Randy Knight

Randy and Sheryl Knight are Realtors in Sonoma County and live a short distance away on their horse ranch in Sebastopol.

Randy Knight purchased this house in 2004
Why Randy Knight chose Dillon Beach

We fell in love with Dillon Beach and searched for quite a while to find the right property. We knew in an instant this house was perfect for us the first time we saw it. It's huge and all of the rooms are very large, open and bright. The quality of construction and finishes are also far better than the vast majority of homes on the coast and the views are fantastic. Come enjoy our home. We're sure you will love it too!

What makes this house unique

The thing that sets this home apart from most is the spaciousness. It is perfect for any type of large group or family. We have several renters that come back on a regular basis for ladies groups; scrap booking; book clubs; seminar retreats and annual vacations. The huge living room and kitchen are perfect for entertaining and it is great to be able to seat 12 for dinner in the dining room.

I rented this beautiful house with a group of my close friends for my 30th birthday. We chose here verses places closer to the cliff for the great layout and quality of the interior. We were not disappointed. We had just a great time playing in the game room, cooking together in the large kitchen, and laughing around the fireplace. It slept 12 adults comfortably (no bunk beds!) and plenty of parking for a 3-4 cars. The owner was very helpful, responsive, and fair. Couldn't ask for a better place! Highly recommended to all. Enjoy!

Large, nicely equipped home in Dillon Beach

5 of 5
Submitted: November 7, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
I've rented a lot of houses in Dillon Beach, none better than Sea Filly. The house is extremely large and really nicely equipped. The kitchen is large, laid out nicely, making it great for cooking, and has everything you need. The dining room is adjacent to the kitchen and has a table big enough for a very large group. Attached to the dining room is a very large living area, with plenty of seating. There's a game room with pool and air hockey, which leads to a fenced backyard (great when you've got small kids) with a hot tub. The bedrooms are nice and there are enough sleeping options to accomodate different size groups. Plenty of off-street parking, which is essential for a house this size. Mostly, the place was just very comfortable and enjoyable. We had a large group with some small kids and everybody had a blast. The owner was very responsive throughout the reservation and rental process.

Group Fun with Room to Spare

5 of 5
Submitted: March 1, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
I threw my fiance's 30th birthday party at the Sea Filly House and it was great. We had about 12-13 people actually stay the night, and about 20 people over during the day for a cookout, There was plenty of room for everyone. The house is great, so spacious with views from the living room, dining room, kitchen and the wonderful Master Suite upstairs which had a really big private deck attached, and a bathroom bigger than my apartment
There's a big gameroom in the back with air hockey, a pool table, a ping pong table top that goes on top of the pool table and a door that goes straight outside to the hot tub in a lovely yard. The kitchen was massive and is where all of us spent a bunch of our time hanging out. Bring your laundry with you, the place has a couple of nice and new washer and dryers (I recommend keeping the laundry room door closed though, it was a little mildewy smelling)
The owner Randy was great, very accomodating and welcoming, and if we had needed anything I would've had no problem calling him.
A few things
1. Get there before it gets dark! Past Petaluma the road gets a little twisty and rural and there are no street lights. In the area where the house is the fog was like a thick blanket the first night. With no street lights and no lights showing the house address numbers, it's a little dicey.
2. Operating the hot tob wasn't as user friendly as you'd expect in a vacation rental. The operating instructions are a little confusing to say the least. They had a "key to the symbols". All you should need is on/off & temp.

Overall I would recommend the Sea Filly to anyone. It was perfect for a group and would be great for a family reunion, Thanksgiving, any kind of celebration with a bunch of people.

Sea Filly - wonderful weekend rental

5 of 5
Submitted: June 7, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
We just returned from a wonderful weekend at Dillon Beach with a group of friends. We were 10 people, and the house suited us very well --especially the large kitchen where we could cook together and the beautiful large wooden table which seated us all comfortably.
In addition, the living room is large, and was perfect for our activities - singing, games and just spending time together. The room locations offer privacy although one "room" we used is actually a very large master closet (empty, but with two beds). It is closed off from the Master bedroom so it is workable, but it is not like having a full bedroom to yourself. On the other hand, there is a wonderful patio outside the master bedroom, and we all enjoyed being up there and watching the sun set over Dillon Beach.

The owner nis very easy to work with and very fair. He let us check in early and stay late. After our stay, he notified us that he would immediately send back our full security deposit since we had left the place as we were supposed to. I also let him know of a couple of minor repairs that were needed, and he let me know that there were plans in place to take care of those.

The location of this home is high up in Dillon Beach and you can see beautiful views of the coast. It is very quiet and peaceful. You can walk to the beach in 20 minutes, but there are some steep up and downhills to get there. The house from the front is quite interesting - the windows are in several shapes (squares, rectangles, circle and a half circle). It is attractive, and interesting to view especially at night. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and seeing the architecture of the homes. In contrast, right behind Sea Filly is an old barn, and a line of small bird houses. So along with the spectacular modern architecture of the homes in the neighborhood, there is also a peaceful rural feel in that area of Dillon Beach. We'd go back again.

We really enjoyed staying at your Dillon Beach property. Not only is the house beautiful, but very comfortable, and the peaceful atmosphere is extremely relaxing. It was very clean and offers all the comforts of home, with extras. The game room is a lot of fun, you can sit down relax, cook great meals in the beautiful kitchen which is spacious enough for people to hang out, or go for a nice walk with a wonderful view. Makes me wish I had a vacation home on the coast. I highly recommend your place and will do so every chance I get. Well worth it!
