The cutest cottage and beautiful beach
We stayed at Dillon beach for three days. The scenery is spectacular and the cottage was the perfect lodging! It’s a great location and provides just the right amount of space and convenience for a family of three. We had a very difficult time leaving.

Another stellar stay at Dillon Beach
Second time staying in this cottage, it's really wonderful. This time we got both amazing sunny warm weather (perfect front porch sitting!) and cold dreary weather (perfect window seat sitting!) Can't wait to come again!

The best! So cozy & comfortable!
This cabin is really amazing. A nice mix of comfortable and modern with some history thrown in. (Really beautiful light fixtures!) Great views, nestled in the village but super close to the beach. We had pretty nasty weather but we were delighted that meant we could cozy up in the house! The listing photos are a great representation but there actually is more space than shown as there's a big kitchen table nestled in the back corner that isn't in any photos. A nice surprise and perfect for dinner for four or a sprawling game of cards! Lots of seating areas outside which we sadly didn't get to use because of the rain but that just means we'll have to return in better weather! Judy was very responsive to all messages. We can't wait to come back again!

What a wonderful cottage
My husband, two small dogs, and I stayed at this lovely cottage. Before arriving I was a little worried that it was too small, but it was perfect. Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped, with high quality appliances and cookware. It is actually even better than the pictures, with panoramic views of the ocean. The living room is bright and sunny, and the deck lovely for lounging. The side yard was a perfect and safe spot for our dogs. I have rented several places at Dillon Beach. This is my favorite. I felt like I was staying at some very nice person’s lovely home. We will be back!

Magical Beach Cottage
Where to begin? With the amazing kitchen stocked for those of us who celebrate around food? (Seriously, the Cutco sandwich spreader had me at hello). Every exquisite, thoughtful detail obvious in the updating of the space? The incredible views? The close proximity of the dog friendly beach? We’ll never forget this trip and will be forever grateful to the wonderful host!

Love this cottage!
This cottage is even more impressive in person. We loved our stay there. Just the two of us occupied the property with some day guests. Plenty of seating options for dining. Great ocean views, parking for two cars, hop, skip and jump to beach and general store/cafe. It’s a gorgeous little place all the way around!

Very comfortable cottage for two plus a small dog. Well appointed. Nice quiet location and loved the short walk to the beach. Would definitely recommend it. Had slight trouble figuring out how to use the dishwasher as there were no instructions, everything else was excellent.

The property is newly renovated and beautiful! The finishes, fixtures and furnishings are top notch and strike a nice balance between the era of the original house and tasteful modern. Well done!

Loved It
My family had a great time at the historic beach cottage. I gave it top notch scores on all categories. Even though it wasn't huge, there was plenty of room for the 3 humans and one 4 legged friend who stayed. The host communicated effectively and allowed us to check in a little early. Everything was updated and clean. I'd love to come back some day.
