Many guests comment on how clean the cottage is. We did even more during the pandemic and will continue to value the heath and safety of guests and housekeepers. We leave cleaning supplies and soaps so you can continue to wipe down and wash up as you have at home.

Currently, I offer a 3 night minimum with a max of 5 guests. Check in is 4pm and check out is 11am.

Parking is very limited in Dillon Beach. The cement drive-way along the south side of the house will accommodate one SUV or two sedans parked front to back. Non reserved parking is allowed across the street along the cement retaining wall. I do expect guests who plan to charge their electric vehicle to let me know ahead of time. At this time I do not charge for the $10-20 additional cost to the house electric bill.

Overnight guests are limited to 5 people.
A pet fee is required when bring a pet.

Verizon cell service in Dillon Beach. ATT service is not available in Dillon Beach

Great Ocean views from every room!

The 13th of Summer is a romantic get-away or a comfy family holiday cottage on the Marin/Sonoma coast. Be awed-
Dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean, waves rushing up the shore. Grand sunsets from hug picture windows or even better from the deck with a glass of wine!

It's just a short five minute stroll to the beach.

When not watching sunsets or the sea, guests can enjoy the household surroundings. The cottage is filled with original paintings and sculpture by local artists. No need to work at a wood burning fire. An environmentally conscience gas burning stove is romantic for that fire-wood stove look, warmth and ambiance. The energy efficient gas heater keeps the cottage cozy.

Take a nap; watch the waves.! The westerly living room has an extra long down filled sofa, huge soft chair w/ ottoman and oak rocker. Lots of lamps make reading and close work enjoyable. The view is wonderful. The easterly sitting area is a cozy conversation or media area and has an overstuffed chair with ottoman and love seat.

An induction range and a refrigerator are in the kitchen. From the sink is a view of the front garden and from the stove, the sea. ATT phone service includes the continental USA is in the kitchen and master bedroom. Mircrowave, blender, food processor, Kenmore mixer, rice cooker, stick blender, toaster

The master bedroom has a queen size bed, blue leather wingback chair and oak dresser. Reading the paper, drinking coffee, and watching birds scamper along the shore make staying tucked in under the down comforter a morning pleasure.

The knotty pine bedroom has a queen bed and twin bed, antique oak dresser and upholster high-back chair. When standing by the windows, the bay and Bodega Head can be enjoyed. Beach chairs and blanket are in this closet

Upstairs and between the two bedrooms is a half-bath with sink and toilet.

Downstairs is the full bath with shower, toilet, sink,and, of course, a great view of the ocean.

The deck provides a great area to relax with teak chaise lounges, table and chair for taking in the view. A cozy and comfortable dining area with the grand Pacific Ocean before you makes inside dining a delight.

The comfy cottage at 13 Summer will reward you with romance and relaxation!

Beautiful Home and Beautiful View
Our family had the most relaxing stay at Cherry's home. We spent our days walking down to the beach, playing games at the dining table with a gorgeous view of the ocean, and had the best sleep in the comfy beds. Cherry was easy to communicate with and answered questions and made sure we were well prepared for our stay. We would LOVE to stay here again!

Great Place to Stay
My favorite place to stay in Dillon Beach, beautifully decorated and the house was so comfortable. I loved cooking in a well equipped kitchen. One of my most favorite things about this house is the deck and the ocean view and just a short walk to the beach and general store. I can't wait to go back!

Beach getaway with family
Cherry’s beach house is truly something special. My family and I travel often, but this is the first time I’ve felt completely relaxed and didn’t have to force myself to put down my work phone. In fact, I didn’t open my laptop once. While the view from the front room was stunning, we were even more captivated by Cherry’s art collection. Of course, we took our daughter to the beach (mere few minutes walk), as that was the purpose of the trip. However, we were all perfectly content just lounging around the house. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else when we return to Dillion Beach.

Beautiful family getaway
We stayed at Cherrys beach house for 3 nights. It was a perfect getaway for our family. The views are amazing. It's a short walk down to the beach. The beds are super cozy. The kitchen was fully stocked. There were even thoughtful things for our small dog like a towel & shampoo. We loved curling up at night by the fireplace and watching the waves. Would definitely recommend this place for a family.

Delightful beach house!!
This warm, cozy and simply wonderful beach house was just perfect for our family vacation. The amazing views were enjoyed both inside with the back side of the house completely covered in windows & on the lovely deck outside. Every morning we would turn on the gas fireplace stove which was the most cozy way to welcome in the day. The beach was easily accessed by a path down to the water. Our children really loved the house too. The kitchen was well stocked & the grill was great!! Cherry was so helpful as we figured out some places to eat near by. We heartily recommend staying here and cannot wait to get back again as soon as possible.
