About

Cozy, clean and great vibe! This updated (including solar battery backup) cottage with a modern retro flair is in a walkable location near the General Store, Coastal Kitchen, and main beach access. It is a sleepier section of the village with a peekaboo view of the ocean from the corner of the deck, and pastoral views from the fully fenced backyard. There's even a doggy door for your medium or smaller furry friend.

Good to know

ABOUT DOGS: We LOVE DOGS (madly, I tell you) but are only 710 square feet please: Two dogs and 4 people max. While we are dog friendly, we are amazingly super clean. I know, right? But it's true! I credit our super-hero cleaning crew who always goes above and beyond to make the Sundog sparkle for you. We also have very washable furnishings (Ruggables, etc) to make sure you are comfortable and we are clean. I have twins, so, you know... experience. Backyard is fully fenced and secure with a charcoal BBQ grill, and picnic table. The birds are almost always singing here. We are clean and peaceful and serene, and hope that is what draws you in to stay with us!

Other Details to Note

No smoking of any variety (anywhere on the premises). Please clean up after Fido.

House Rules

Shhhhhh 9pm - 8am Our neighbors live here full time. Please do not let your dog poop in their yard (and always clean up after them on the street and beach) . Please do not block neighboring driveways. Due to our small but mighty size, as well as our septic system, we simply can't accommodate a group larger than 4 or parties of daytime visitors. There are a lot of homes here that can, tho! Just not The Sundog. What lives at the beach, stays at the beach. Our gorgeous coastline is home to much sea life that you are likely to enjoy viewing in their natural habitat! These are sensitive creatures, so please leave them where are, and allow them to thrive. Thank you!

Accessibility

Neighborhood

The Dillon Beach Village is a charming little town with a mixture of full time and part time residents. Our neighborhood is a sleepier side of the village a stones throw from the store and restaurant. A short jaunt past the new tiny homes, and you're at the main beach. We are neighbors first, as we live just down the street from here, and so excited to help make a special experience for you. Parking is very limited with only one driveway spot, so please plan accordingly. With all of this in mind, please message prior to booking and let's see if we are a good fit for one another!

Guest Access

The house is yours! There is nobody else living there. :) The lower door is storage space, only.

Goodness, this place is a gem. House - matches the photos, is super cute. High quality linens and towels - yes they make a difference and you can tell. The location of the house is great, walkable to the beach, close to the store and restaurant. The house is the best stocked AirBnb I have stayed at. Has all the kitchen tools you'd need, generous supplies for the the usual needs- salt, pepper, tea, coffee, etc made it really easy to cook as if it was your own home. Host - The host is exceptional. She made everything from booking to checking out seamless. She makes you feel like it's your home. 100% would recommend and will be staying here again.

This place was perfect for our stay! It was just what we needed. Valerie is a great host and went out of her way to make sure we felt at home. She was proactive and I would highly recommend her place.

We absolutely loved our stay at Valerie’s place! I truly can’t say enough good things about it. The place itself was perfect for us. The kitchen and bathrooms were so well appointed, everything was absolutely spotless, the beds were comfortable, and it was wonderful to have a private backyard. Valerie was so responsive and kind. She thought of absolutely everything, and we were so grateful for her flexibility with our checkout time. We will definitely be coming back!

This cottage was lovely! The beds and linens were clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Everything was welcoming and cozy. Gorgeous fresh cut flowers were all around along with a gift of delicious local cheese, fresh fruit and crackers. And there were even treats for the dog. The kitchen and the espresso and coffee makers were perfect. The host was amazing, kind, thoughtful, and responsive. Such a clean, well kept, cozy, and tastefully decorated cottage. We enjoyed our stay very much, everything was perfect and as described…even better!

This was a great stay for us (and our 2 dogs). The home is beautifully set up. Valerie was extremely quick to respond to questions, before and after our stay. We appreciated having an EV charger available, which let us explore the beautiful Marin/Sonoma coast each day without dealing with finding charging stations. The only negative was low water pressure (for showers), which I hear is a challenge throughout Dillon Beach.

We had a very pleasant stay! The property was exactly as described in the listing—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The beds were cozy, the kitchen had all the essentials, and the location was peaceful but still conveniently close to the beach and the general store. Check-in was seamless, and Valerie was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions we had. It’s clear that she takes great care in creating a welcoming space. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others looking for a reliable and relaxing place to stay!

This was a beautiful beach house in easy walking distance to the beach, making the perfect weekend getaway for our family (including our dog). It was in great condition and Val was super welcoming, thoughtful, and responsive. Thanks again for a great stay!

Valerie was a gracious host and the home was very comfortable and well appointed for our family of four. As our first time in Dillon Beach, we could not have booked a better location and home to stay in. Everything was clean and beautiful throughout, with furnishings and details all perfected. We look forward to staying again.

The Sundog Cottage was perfect for our small family - walkable to Dillon Beach, toys for the kiddos, and Valerie made up a cute toddler bed for our son! It was the perfect space and would definitely stay again.

Sundog cottage is lovely! We were so happy to find that it was even more beautiful in person than the pictures. Super clean, great kitchen, deck and backyard were perfect for our dogs and just relaxing and listening to the ocean. The linens are amazing and the beds comfy! Valerie went above and beyond as a host, even left us local eggs, butter and crackers. She was friendly and easy to communicate with. Sundog is a gem and we can’t wait to come back!

Find us

Walking to the store and beach you have two options. For the more spry, risk taker, a straight shot down while you look out vehicles coming into the beach. Otherwise, for the more nonchalant, leisurely stroll enjoying the views and fellowship throughout the village, walk north to North St. (haha) Turn left and left again at Cypress (the green house). You're now in eyeshot! See that? Easy peasy!
