We really loved our stay at the Lookout. The house was inviting, comfortable and very well appointed. My only suggestions for improvement are screen door needed on the sliders to the deck to keep bugs and most importantly yellow jackets out of the house. Additionally, one or two yellow jacket traps on/near the deck would help as well. Otherwise we loved it and would totally stay here again.

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

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: --gorgeous views, within walking distance to the beach and beautifully appointed. My criticism: "Check Out Procedures" which sounded like rules posted in a dorm kitchen,requiring guests who have already paid a cleaning fee to dump garbage, sweep up and wash and put away dishes are excessive. As annoying as this was, none of it could take away from the great time we had.

We loved staying at The Lookout. The cottage is adorable and clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and stay-in. Really enjoyed walking down to the store, restaurant and beach, hiking, playing card games, and just gazing at the water from the deck! It was the first time our English Lab, Chuck, had been on a beach. So fun!

We spent almost two weeks enjoying this as our home away from home. Cozy, well-appointed, and that view! The perfect place to rest and unwind in that classic Dillon Beach way - long walks on the beach, a few short drives to vineyards or a hike in the redwoods, and hours on the back deck watching the waves. Perfect.
