It was everything described, photos included.<br/>House floor plan is perfect, it's a panoramic view the moment you wake up! Downstairs is perfect for privacy. The way the houses are set up you feel secluded, even though they are close. We barely saw anyone. It was a very nice stay for my family and i. I would definately rent again in the future and have already recommended it to several friends, looking for family stays.

Manager's Response

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear the home was everything you expected and that the layout worked so well for your family. That panoramic view really is something special to wake up to, and we’re glad you enjoyed the privacy and peaceful surroundings. We hope to host you again!

Thank you,

Great spot for a family getaway! The house was the perfect size and we loved that we could bring our dog. The deck had amazing ocean views and it was fun watching the deer wander by.<br/>A few tips for future guests: the driveway is very steep, the kitchen doesn’t have much in the way of basics (no salt), and you’ll want to bring your own beach towels and toys. Overall, a super relaxing place to stay!

Manager's Response

Thank you for your kind and detailed review! We're so glad to hear the home was a great fit for your family (and your pup!) and that you enjoyed the ocean views and visits from the local deer, such a peaceful touch. We also appreciate your helpful notes for future guests, We'll take a closer look at the kitchen basics.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing stay!

For the third consecutive year my wife and I hosted our kids, spouses, and grandkids at Dillon Beach for a small family reunion coinsiding with a yearly meeting my wife attends in the Santa Rosa area. Whale Watch was the most nicely furnished and comfortable rental home we have had, and the next time we do this I will certainly check its availability before any of the other homes in the area. If you are considering this home you will not be disappointed, (just don't take my week!)

Manager's Response

We are so glad you have been able to do this for three years now and that you had a great time.

Hope to host you again SOON!

What a beautiful home! We love the views of Dillon Beach and Lawson’s landing from the the house, brought some good binoculars hopping to see whales swimming by, but maybe next time! Beautiful drive to point Reyes area! Stopped at south beach (beautiful) our dog Mowgli had a blast! On our way back we stopped to eat at Nicks Cove ( good delicious food). It was hard for us to pack up and leave this house!!!!

A large house with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, great room (kitchen, living and dining), lg family room, garage play room. VERY STEEP DRIVEWAY. Did not like the driveway. Wrap around porch. No real outside space, the lot is too steep. Some problems fireplace didn’t work, slider screen door was damaged, one of the steps to the front door was not illuminated. (My husband fell.). Absolutely beautiful view of Dillion Beach and the Pacific.

Great everything!

We had a comfortable stay for a family weekend trip to the beach. The living room was great for hanging out and the kitchen and grill made preparing meals very easy. The game room was fun.<br/><br/>The house could use some minor repairs: some of the window blinds are missing, some of the kitchen chairs are broken, one of the toilets is a little loose.<br/><br/>Overall, very cool house and a great place for a group trip to Dillon Beach!

The home is just as described and was very clean when we arrived. It’s well stocked with appliances for cooking and eating and we cooked several yummy meals in the kitchen. We rented whale watch for my mother’s 75th birthday and my siblings and I couldn’t have been happier. The views seriously can’t be beat. We’ve gone to Dillon beach my whole life and this cabin has better, more expansive views than any place we’ve ever stayed. The ping pong table was a huge hit! The only “issue” that did arise has nothing to do with the home or the owner or the property managers - as they were all amazing - but it has to do with the neighborhoods HOA. My brother and his wife were going to go camping after our weekend and so he had his truck camper (the kind that sits on the bed of the truck) on. At about 9pm my mom noticed someone peering into our cars and when she went out the guy took off. Instead of telling us that the HOA doesn’t allow any form of camper in the neighborhood he ran away and called the owner and property managers and probably woke them up. They both called to let us know about the rule and both were very nice about it and told us where he could park it near the neighborhood, which we did immediately. Anyhow - just a warning that the HOA is pretty intense. They also have a very strict “no more than 4 cars” policy per driveway which was fine for us but just know that ahead of renting! Again, on a whole the cabin was incredible and we would definitely rent again!

Manager's Response

So glad you had a great stay! It is such a wonderful home, happy it was the perfect fit for you family! The HOA is strict, but we do send out the paperwork ahead of time with the rules, one if which is "no campers". Anyway, really happy you had a sweet stay and would love to host you again.

We had a lovely family reunion at the Whale Watch house over the 4th of July weekend. The house was great ~ very comfortable, well furnished, well equipped and very clean. Check in was easy and the management company was responsive and easy to reach when we had a question or two. Overall, it was a great experience.

Great location, great space, super clean. We hosted my friend’s low key bachelorette here and it was perfect. Great spaces to hang out as a group and play board games. A lot of folks had never been to California before and this gave them the best taste of how wonderful it can be!

I loved my stay at Whale Watch! The location simply cannot be beat. The view from the living room and front deck is postcard perfect and you really feel the majesty of the Pacific coast from the moment you arrive. It’s a short drive or medium walk to the beach, which was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was incredibly spacious and well designed. Fun amenities like the game room with ping pong and foosball tables added a lot to our stay, as did the hot tub. Two of the beds are pull out sofa beds, so plan accordingly. My friends didn’t mind but it could be tough for folks who want their own room or don’t want to share a bed etc. Overall, I’d say this place is a gem: great location, cozy home, and enough space for a medium group to savor the beauty of Tomales Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

Our trip is exactly what we needed! House was very clean! Upstairs is amazing - big open kitchen and family room. Very comfortable couches, beds, etc... We will be back for sure. Notes: Deer lots of deer...after the sun goes down they will be out in the back behind the grill and out front bedded down for the night.! I was surprised at how close they were to the house. We were given 1 towel per person for the whole visit - I wish they had some back up. Also important to note there is NO washer or dryer. Not a big deal but something to keep in mind. We are already looking at when we can go back.

We had a beautiful 3-day stay at Whale Watch. Loved the open and updated kitchen, living and dining space. Good views and house was very clean (appreciated!). Also had ocean view from the primary bedroom (nice!). Unfortunately, we did experience two separate hours-long power outages during our stay. Ended up playing games by lamp light. And no washer/dryer at home, just an FYI. Not listed but we were surprised by this. Property company very responsive and professional.
