Beautiful beach vacation

Lovely spotless clean house,stunning ocean views, gorgeous sunsets. Very responsive management and owner. The neighborhood is very hilly and the teens walked up and back to the beach. Those of us with older knees and too much beach paraphernalia had to drive and pay the $10 to park. The house was the perfect place for a awesome CA beach family vacation. knees and to much beach paraf

Lovely family time

The Lookout worked beautifully for our family get together after not seeing each other for almost 1 1/2 years. The open floor plan was great for cooking, chatting and eating, playing games, etc. walk to the beach was easy. Unfortunately the week we were there was exceptionally windy which limited our beach time. That being said we had a great time and the house served us well.

A great cottage at a wonderful place

Clean, with all the amenities. A beautiful view, just a short walk to the beach for leash-free dog fun. Everything we could have wanted. Comfortable, bright, lots of fresh air. Really enjoyed our stay. A couple of nitpicks: the info on where the parking is could be clearer (driveway is located on the street below), and the house can get chilly in the winter. The space heater downstairs is essential. Would stay here again, for sure!

Summer stay

Perfect location for Dillon Beach. Easy walk to beach and the all important General Store. Ample parking which was key for the summer when the beach crowds arrive. The parking is also great if you have a larger vehicle, which can be tight with other Dillon properties. House is clean and comfortable. Views from balcony are gorgeous. Nicely updated kitchen. The downstairs was a perfect spot for kids to have they own space to play while the grownups relax upstairs. Will definitely return.

The Lookout

This is a great property. The kitchen is very well equipped and supplied. Having the separate area downstairs would be great for families or extended families with kids. The only glitch was the check in process. We could not get the lockbox open, so spent 45 minutes waiting outside in the fog and wind, and talking with the property manager. Eventually they called back and said that they had changed the lockboxes recently and had not updated their check in procedure with the new code. Once that was resolved, our stay was wonderful. The manager was pretty prompt in responding to our issue.

Fantastic view, lovely beach cabin and excellent location!

I am very much looking forward to returning to this wonderful beach home. We've been taking beach vacations for many years. We usually stay in Dillon for our dogs and the beach that allows them to run without leashes. This cozy cabin was an absolute delight! Probably the best view in the area that allows for all day viewing and sunsets that are amazing. Perfectly equipped kitchen, absolutely clean and spotless, throughout. Comfortable, cozy bedrooms and very modern bathrooms. Couldn't think of anything that might be missing. Thank you again for your jewel of a cabin. *** I loved reading the house binder which included the personal history of the cabin and all the restorations that were done to bring this home to its current modern and dazzling look!
