Description

Abalone Alcove is one of those beach houses you can walk in, kick off your shoes, plop on the couch and feel at home. You can sit on the couch and look at the outstanding views or hit the beach with your friends & family! The beach is within a 2 minute drive or 12 minute walk.

For those looking for the perfect location for your next "flex-cation," Abalone Alcove is perfectly equipped for you with fast and reliable WiFi with download speeds of over 100mbps!

The entry level has the hot tub (Brand New as of August 2022!!!) and deck, kitchen, living/dining areas, primary bedroom, wood burning stove, and full bath. The couch in the living room folds out to a queen size bed for extra sleeping!

Downstairs has a large game room with pool table, media lounge, twin size futon, second bedroom, another full bath and 2 patios.

If you are looking for a quaint and comfortable beach house with great amenities and AMAZING views, Abalone Alcove is the perfect fit!

Note: This lovely home has a unique heating system. Heat is thermal/solar panels which heats the house during the day, it gets very toasty on a sunny day. There's a wood stove in the living room which is the main heat source at night. The upstairs bedroom and living room also have baseboard heaters, and the downstairs uses space heaters.
Wood Stove directions: Please be sure to bring wood and kindling with you as we do not provide it. We will provide firestarters which you can light with the oven lighter. Wood can be purchased close by at the Dillon Beach store or the store in Tomales, but we recommend purchasing it on your way in from a larger store.

Disclaimer: We are kindly requesting all guests to be respectful and conscientious of their water usage due to the severe water crisis at Dillon Beach. This includes limiting your water use to only what is absolutely necessary and following hot tub guidelines to rinse off before use. California is very thirsty right now and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation!

PET POLICY:
Dogs only - NO cats.
$80 Dog Fee per Dog

Just a reminder: 6 people is the maximum for this house day or night, 3 cars maximum in driveway.

I rented Abalone Alcove to host friends from out of town who had never been to the ocean before. Our stay was from Thursday night to Sunday morning and we lucked out with some great weather during this normally cloudy, cold October. The house was quite clean, came with a kitchen stocked with necessities like spices, salt/pepper, and a full complement of kitchen supplies, and also included some things that I suspect previous guests left behind, like yeast, tea/coffee, etc. We were also given some welcoming snacks and a bottle of sparkling water, which was a pleasant surprise.

Our stay was very relaxing, with an upstairs and a downstairs and several comfortable nooks and crannies where people could find some quiet time to read or get away from the group. We played pool and enjoyed the hot tub (though for some reason the cover of the hot tub comes up so that it blocks the only window off the porch area, thus blocking the only possible view from there). There was also an outdoor grill which we didn't use, but which looked fully serviceable. Internet was fast and reliable. The house was easy to warm and while space heaters were provided for the rooms we used them mostly for enjoyment, not because they seemed necessary. The wildlife viewing from the house was spectacular! We saw deer, fawns, raccoon, quail, red-shouldered and red-tailed hawk, kestrel, and turkey vultures all from the comfort of the sitting room window.

This is definitely a house to enjoy the view, and not one for easy (walking) access to the beach. The house is up a steep hill and it's about a 15 minute walk downhill. This is not a walk for people unused to walking and hiking back up to the house should only be attempted if you are healthy with good lungs and walking muscles. The house includes a parking pass for the neighborhood, which is great for parking at the bottom of the hill and avoiding the $10 parking fee at the beach. Overall we had a wonderful weekend!

Great place to hang out with our adult son and his wife and dog! Close to beach and an easy ride up the coast...Spacious kitchen to prep food and cook in with well supplied pots/pans and dishes. (Wish there was a teapot for we tea drinkers!) Amazing views of the beach from the comfy couch and chair in the upstairs space where we read, ate, and played games at the large table. Game room downstairs for pool and smart TV to watch movies. (very uncomfortable couch to sit on - please replace!) Disappointed that unfortunately the hottub was broken, but hosts were responsive in compensating for this. (And also responded quickly to a question regarding laundry facilities.) We 4 would definitely come back! Thank you!

Our stat at Abalone Alcove over the fourth of July was amazing. The property is perfectly located on the hill, just a short walk down to the beach. The views are amazing and cannot be beat. You can spend hours sitting in the comfortable living area looking out the picture windows at the ever changing landscape. The house is well appointed, clean, cozy, and well stocked. You will not be disappointed with this rental and I hope to return again.

We had an absolutely wonderful long weekend at abalone alcove. The view was unbelievable. Even better than the pictures! The house was situated perfectly, views from every room. My kids loved exploring the surrounding rocks and hills. The house was extremely clean, I loved how they had welcome music playing for us. The kitchen was very well stocked, had everything we needed to cook all our meals. We had picked up some oysters at hog island and used the grill as well which was in perfect working order. The pool table was a hit. Only down side was the mattress in the upstairs bedroom was extremely firm. We have spent lots of time at Dillon beach and this house was definitely one of our favorites. We will definitely stay again!

Amazing location and such a well thought-out space. The privacy afforded by having each bedroom/bathroom on a different floor inside, the surrounding green space outside—luxurious! The views from the bedrooms, living room, kitchen, patios, hot tub—unmatched in our experience and we’re all travelers. Were there any tvs? A pool table? Who knows?? (I mean, of course there were but we spent all our time watching the waves, ships, DEER EVERYWHERE, seals, sunsets...) The only downside was that the kitchen was so well-stocked that we didn’t use any of the kitchen gear we brought. The town is PRECIOUS. The off-leash dog-friendly beach was the highlight for two members of our party—and ALL the dogs were friendly. We will absolutely stay again, in this same house, if we have the opportunity. And we are VERY VERY reluctant to leave such a good review because we’d really rather keep this place our little family secret. But if you’re still reading this: just book it!

Our family had a great time, even though this place could use a deep cleaning. The pots and pans all had to be washed before use and there is black mold in the window frame in the upstairs bath. A little tender loving care would benefit this place a lot. The view was outstanding and location good.

I have rented many different rental homes in Dillon Beach and I must say that Abalone Alcove has the most stunning views from living room and kitchen. Very comfortable beds, fun pool table, well appointed kitchen, 1 minute drive to beach. Will definitely be coming back to this house! Only one suggestion is that there be more windows that open to cool house down in the afternoon. Utilized pull down sun screens which helped some.

We had not come out to California for some years but
decided to make the trip to celebrate a birthday and Thanksgiving.

Staying at Abalone Alcove was a restful and welcome experience. The views and location were superb. The house was well appointed and we enjoyed the effort that went into making our stay so memorable.

Our first time to Dillon Beach and it is a great find! Totally relaxing, great surfing community, beautiful views. The views from the house are fantastic and it's a short 25 minute walk down to the beach. The house is clean and comfortable, quite functional for a weekend getaway.

Lovely place to visit. Bedroom and bathroom on main floor and bedroom and bath on the lower level. Hot tub on deck with window in the fence to view the ocean while you are in the tub. Beach a short drive away. It was $10 per visit. Picture window in living room to look out over the ocean. Kitchen utensils were available and had a good selection. We would visit this place was exceptionally hot when we got there. A portable fan was promptly delivered at our request. Buy all your groceries before you arrive. The shopping area is 30 min away. Place was clean. Previous guest put away some dirty silverware and dishes but that was the only issue we encountered and we washed them before using them. Ground around house was steep. Not a problem for us but may be a challenge for others. Great place to stay.

The house was mostly as described and very comfortable. Everything is slightly dated and there were a couple of missing or difficult items (no iron, couldn't figure out turning on the heat, could have used a couple more pillows and blankets, etc.) Also Dillon Beach Property Management sends WAY too many emails. The system is confusing and hard to navigate (I don't want to download an app or log into a portal to retrieve important information) and they sent the same information many, many times by email. Otherwise everything was great.

We were here for 6 nights. The longer we were here the more we enjoyed the place. On arrival we were struck by the excellent floor plan, warm paneling, and soaring ceilings. Yes, there are some minor cosmetic issues. The kitchen and bathrooms are original to the house, most likely built in the early 80s. I’m guessing the 1980s because a publication touting the structure’s innovative solar heating system, posted on the wall, was printed in 1981. The house’s efficient modern style feels more 1960s than 1980s to me.

Because we arrived after sunset we had to wait until morning to enjoy the view, but the brilliant stars were a wonderful welcome. The next morning we awoke to a treat to the eyes and spirit. Every window from the kitchen, dining, living, to bedroom has a different vantage on the sprawling sea, beach, and hills.

Over the week we enjoyed the location. Dillon Beach General Store is under new management, as is the Resort restaurant. Both worth trying. Armstrong Woods also great. I’m a bit sad to leave.

This house has a spectacular location and a breathtaking view. My family enjoyed the spacious house, pool room and hot tub. This house is clean and comfortable, it hasn't been updated, but it has everything we needed. It can be hard to find a spot to stay with our family's two requirements 1 - hot tub, 2 - dog friendly. The Abalone Alcove delivered!

We enjoyed a wonderful week relaxing and enjoying the views from this comfortable beach house on a hillside. The house is exactly as described and suited our needs perfectly. It was equipped with everything we needed and then some! We were surprised by the wildlife sightings - mule deer, gray fox, turkey vultures, brown pelicans, scrub jays, costas hummingbirds, red-shafted flickers - all from the living room windows! The communication from the rental folks was excellent and everything was so easy! Highly recommended!

We stayed at Abalone Cove for 5 nights. We loved the large windows with expansive views of the beach, Tamales Bay and surrounding area. The house was well-stocked and the grill was very clean. Overall the home was pretty clean, but there were some cob-webs and corners of floors that needed more attention. The living room is super comfortable with a large sectional & we enjoyed having fires, playing pool & using the hot tub. It's a great walk (about 15 min) to the beach, which we enjoyed. Dillon Beach is a remote place (which we loved) so plan ahead and get groceries before you come. It's a half-hour to Petaluma. Overall, this home is heavenly and we would return!

This house was on the crest of such a lovely view. The hot tub was perfect for the chilly afternoons after the beach. The house was well set up and the rental company took great care to be sure we were welcomed! Thank you for the wonderful experience.

We had an excellent stay at the Abalone Alcove. The house was very comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. The house is a bit outdated, but the couches and beds were all comfortable. The view is killer. We had a great time enjoying the hot tub and pool table!

We had a wonderful stay at Abalone Cove. The house met all of our needs. Being able to bring our dog is always a plus.
Plenty of space and very comfortable beds. Very helpful management.
Will definately be back.

We had a blast walking on the beach during the day and hanging out in your awesome home in the evenings. Breathtaking views! We had a blast with the pool table as well. Perfect romantic getaway but also would be awesome for kids. Lots of board games as well as a huge assortment of video games. Loved the information about this historic home and its decor. We can't wait to visit again!

We had an absolutely wonderful time! After my father passed away in September I could not bare the thought of doing our traditional holiday festivities. I proposed a Christmas at the Ocean to my family and they were willing to give it a try.
I spent weeks looking for the perfect house and I found it! In fact, we loved the house and our stay so much that we decided to make Christmas at the Ocean and at this house our new holiday tradition!! Everything was perfect and we cannot wait to go back. The property was nicer and included more amenities than we expected. It was clean and very well maintained. FIVE STARS FOR SURE!

My husband and I (plus our two small dogs) spent a few days here for our anniversary. We had a great time and wished we could stay one more day. I wanted to clear up a few things that we read in prior reviews that worried us and caused hesitation before booking. Luckily they ended up being non-issues but we'd hate for anyone else to be scared off by some of the negative comments.
- Hot tub: Contrary to some reviews, we did NOT notice an unusually strong chlorine/bromide smell and we spent a ton of time in the hot tub. The jets are finicky though and randomly turn on and off at times, but other than that worked great.
-Overall cleanliness: House shows it's age a bit, but it's cleanliness was more than adequate and much cleaner than what you'd expect for a dog friendly home. Very satisfied.
-BBQ: Worked perfectly, no complaints.
-Pool table: No level issues, felt in good condition, all the balls were there.
-Bedding: Very clean & good condition.
-Contrary to prior reviews the house was not stuffy and cooled down very quickly with the windows open. There are multiple windows that open, however some of them are hard to close due to broken handles, probably more of an issue during the winter.
- We experienced no issues locking ourselves out of the front door (common sense applies here).
- Minimal cleaning required upon check-out. Comparable to every other rental we've stayed at. (not nearly as daunting as one reviewer claimed).
- Pull-out couch: Yes, this was uncomfortable but we only used it once to watch TV on. Not sure I'd recommend it be used as a main bed.
-Backyard could benefit from some mowing but we may have just caught it at a bad time.
-One thing to note is that there is no Ping Pong table as listed under the Entertainment section of Amenities.
-Location - AMAZING view, close proximity to beach.
-Loved the downstairs "fun room."
Overall, we had a really pleasant stay here and have talked about coming

My husband and I celebrated our 20 year anniversary at Dillon Beach. We rented Abalone Alcove. The home was clean. Plenty of towels, blankets, etc. The kitchen was well equipped. You can enjoy the views from the large picture windows found in the main living area, extending into the kitchen area. The 2 patios also had great views. The spa was somewhat private with another view to enjoy morning coffee and mimosas. We really enjoyed our stay at this house and hope to return.

Abalone Alcove is great. We loved the fantastic views from front room, bedroom, and kitchen windows. The enclosed deck is so private and also safe for letting dog in and out for a drink of water. There were two other patios on the lower level that were great for enjoying the sun and views (along with deer).

Abalone Alcove is a fantastic rental! This was our second time renting this house and we loved every minute. The view is incredible and the house itself is well appointed. Easy to move right in and make yourself at home. Only downside is, this time, the cue ball from the pool table was missing. One of our favorite rentals by far in Dillon Beach!

I love Abalone Alcove! It's like staying in the Brady Bunch's beach house in the best possible way. So cozy and warm! Spectacular views from every room. The only downside was that the hot tub was not working as advertised. We were totally bummed about it but overall did not put a damper on a magical stay. Just would have made it that much better!

My wifeand I and our little dog Lola had a fantastic time at Abalone Alcove. The house is well equipped (though the BBQ is on its last legs), and we thouroughly enjoyed the views , both in the early morning and at sunset. My wife is an artist, and she loved being able to set up in the living room and paint the beautiful views.
We took a nice day trip down Tomales Bay to Point Reyes, stopping at Nick's and had lunch in the boat house with friends. Another day we ventured down to Hog Island for some of their wonderful oysters.
We had a lovely time and will both recommend to friends and return in the future, I'm sure!

What a memorable week we had at Abalone Alcove!! This property is beautifully situated high above Dillon Beach; and we spent hours enjoying the view of the town, the ocean, Tomales Bay, Point Reyes and of the open space right in front of the house, where we often saw deer. We had 7 adults + 1 dog for three nights and just two couples the remaining four nights. The house worked perfectly for us!

Although we brought a few items from home for specific food preparation that we did, the kitchen is very well-equipped. Also, there was an abundance of blankets, pillows and futons to complement the two very comfortable beds and two sofa beds.

We made good use of the hot tub and pool table; set up the card table to do puzzles; sat out on the patio to enjoy the views; had lunches at the picnic table in the enclosed entry area, and watched movies on the large TV in the game room. Many enjoyable meals, conversations and games were enjoyed around the dining room table, which we converted to a round table when there were just four of us.

We had some days of abundant sunshine and a couple of days of rain. The house was great for all situations!

We highly recommend a stay there!

My partner and I stayed at Abalone Alcove with our dog for two nights in February. What a terrific home! The 180+ degree view of the ocean and bay is amazing. The home is well appointed with a nicely equipped kitchen, a pool table (!), satellite TV, a hot tub, and a full bath on each floor. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time. I liked that the house had basically two living areas - upstairs and down. The views were wonderful! The home was well stocked with cooking utensils and everything that we needed. In the past, we had camped at Lawson's Landing but I no longer have the RV -- I kept saying, "I'm so glad we are in the house this year"! I'd rent this home again.

This home has the most beautiful views. I was up before the sun every morning to watch the moon set on the water and the sun start to rise in the east. The home was comfortable and spacious for the three of us and had everything we needed for cooking meals there. The large picture window in the kitchen overlooking the ocean made clean up and dishes a treat instead of a chore. We hope our travel plans bring us back to this area again and if they do, we will be wanting to stay in this home again. Dillon Beach Property Management company was excellent to work with and Val even made a courtesy call while we there to make sure all was well and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We did the night tour at Alcatraz (excellent views of SF from the island), Segway tour of San Francisco, Pier 39 had great foods and shopping although could have used much more time there to shop. Excellent antique arcade on Fishermans Wharf that was a lot of fun. Caymus winery in Napa had the best wine of the wine tasting we did, and Union Hotel had amazing italian food paired with excellent service. We wished we'd had more time to explore locally as the Tomales bakery and deli, the William Tell House, and Lawson's Landing were places we wanted to check out and just didn't get the time to do so.

We wished we'd had more time to explore locally as the Tomales bakery and deli, the William Tell House, and Lawson's Landing were places we wanted to check out and just didn't get the time to do so.

Ho fantastic! Sounds like you really made the most of your stay here in the San Francisco Bay area! How Fun!
Glad you had a sweet stay at Abalone!

This home has the most beautiful views. I was up before the sun every morning to watch the moon set on the water and the sun start to rise in the east. The home was comfortable and spacious for the three of us and had everything we needed for cooking meals there. The large picture window in the kitchen overlooking the ocean made clean up and dishes a treat instead of a chore. We hope our travel plans bring us back to this area again and if they do, we will be wanting to stay in this home again. Dillon Beach Property Management company was excellent to work with and Val even made a courtesy call while we there to make sure all was well and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We did the night tour at Alcatraz (excellent views of SF from the island), Segway tour of San Francisco, Pier 39 had great foods and shopping although could have used much more time there to shop.

I enjoyed a wonderful visit back home to Dillon Beach and enjoyed time with my son and his family. The house was very comfortable and provided a spectacular view!

From the moment we opened the door and saw the views from every room we knew it was going to be a wonderful stay. Pool table, Jacuzzi and games galore. Kitchen had everything you need. Clean and welcoming, our family will be back. This home had something for everyone. Oh and the wildlife all around was an added treat. Twin fawns and momma as well as bucks grazing outside our door. Who could ask for more after a play day at the beach. The property managment folks are very helpful to see your needs are taken care of. Don't pass this one up!

This home is amazing. The views were surreal, especially while sitting in the hot tub. The kitchen had everything you need, to include a great gas BBQ! The walk down to Dillon Beach was about a 30 min walk. Or a 5 min drive. The beach was gorgeous and extremely dog friendly :) I highly recommend staying here!

Our family enjoyed a very comfortable and enjoyable 3 nights at Abalone Alcove. You felt "right at home" and really felt like it was YOUR home. Fantastic views complemented the nice, let's sit around read and relax atmosphere. Perhaps the only drawback is that the dishwasher could probably be replaced (many racks missing holders). That did not detract at all from our weekend, but it was noticed. The only other thing is that it is not an easy walk to the beach; consider driving, although for the truly hardy, the uphill return walk is do-able. Overall, we will be back again!

We had a very relaxing week at Abalone Alcove. We have stayed there before. It's perfect for 4. The positives are the view and the comfortable vibe. The only thing I would warn people about is that our papers say 1 King, 1 pullout, 2 singles. The downstairs has a queen bed and the sofa bed springs downstairs are broken. My son couldn't sleep on it as the mattress would fall off. He slept in the living room. The garage was locked so no washer/dryer. We could pick up enough 3G on AT&T to check email but nothing more so don't count on internet. (Good!) All said, a lovely property and we will book again!

Took my parents, wife and dog to Dillon beach for a little R&R. The house and appliances are somewhat dated but it didn't deter from our experience at all. We loved every minute of it from walking on the beach to playing board games with the amazing view of the ocean. Tips for future visitors would be. 1. Make sure you grocery shop in Petaluma. 2. Bring additional dish towels and dish washing tablets. 3.Parking at the beach is only during certain hours and costs $8 a day. Walking to the beach is not an option unless you are uber fit and don't mind a steep decent and then ascent.

Wonderful end-of-week break. This house has beautiful views of everything. Long walk or short drive to the beach. House had everything, and then some, to make our stay very enjoyable. Management staff very helpful when I locked myself out of the bedroom! Enjoyed the hot tub. Just a great time had by all. Will definitely go again.
