-Bluff
On the northern California coast the Point Reyes Peninsula is separated from the mainland by Tomales Bay, one of the nation's most pristine estuaries. It’s a sanctuary for kayakers and swimmers (yes, the water is actually warm enough to swim in here at sweet spots named Heart’s Desire and Shell Beach). Where Tomales Bay merges with the Pacific Ocean, there’s Dillon Beach California -- powdery sand, a mile of dog friendly beach and sublime views that can stretch from Point Reyes to Bodega Head in Bodega Bay California. Just an hour from San Francisco, Dillon Beach California is a world away. Just a café and a little store. High-speed internet has only recently arrived. Cell phone service is sketchy. And the only place to stay is in a vacation rental. “It’s a really warm-feeling place,” says Carolyn Moore, who runs Moore Vacation Rentals of Dillon Beach out of her home. “You see little children and dogs on that beach, smiling. Even the dogs are smiling!” Dillon Beach is very family oriented -- and less pricey -- than Bodega Bay and Stinson Beach. It’s also a great place for girl’s getaways, and just-the-guys fishing trips. In the diverse inventory of cottages and beach houses offered by Moore Vacation Rentals of Dillon Beach, you’ll find some great bargains. And return guests love the low-key, personal service. “We do our best to make sure guests have a good time and want to come back,” says Carolyn.

Three Standout Qualities 1. Off-the-Beaten Path, But Not Out of Reach Dillon Beach California has been a favorite with families from the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento for generations. “People come back for the peace and quiet,” says Carolyn. “We get groups of women who work on quilts and scrapbooks, and men come for the fishing. It’s a dog friendly area, so people bring their best friends.” During the summer, it’s common for a family from another state to meet up with California relatives and spend a week on the beach and taking day trips. Dillon Beach California is an easy 20 minutes to Bodega Bay, 40 minutes to Point Reyes National Seashore and 45 minutes to the Napa, Sonoma and Russian River wine valleys. “And the drive to anywhere is so beautiful. It’s like an added treat,” Carolyn says. 2. Off-the-Beaten Path Prices Almost a dozen homes of the homes in Moore Vacation Rentals’ inventory rent for less than $1,000 a week (plus a $50 cleaning fee). There may be additional fees for pets and linens. 3. Clean and Well Cared For Moore Vacation Rentals of Dillon Beach California offers homes that are “just the bare bones – a phone, TV and barbecue grill – up to all the frills, a hot tub and everything you could imagine,” Carolyn says. “Working out of my home makes people feel like they’re just visiting a friend. It’s a fairly low-key, homey kind of operation. One main objective is they’re clean. We make sure of that. But we’re here to make sure that their stay is as comfortable and as enjoyable as it can be.” Why not add a weekend at another California beach house?Click here to see what's available in San Francisco or The Sea Ranch.Back to the top of Dillon Beach California Pet Friendly Beach Vacation Rentals
