Dillon Beach, California
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.

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 are in the kitchen and master bedroom. Mircrowave, blender, food processor, Kenmore mixer, copper pots are available.
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.
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!

My husband, 10 month old daughter, and our dog just spend the weekend at the 13th of Summer at Dillon Beach. We had such a great time. The house is perfect- light and bright and filled with so many little charming details and it is a super short walk to the beach. Cherry was so helpful with booking and she everyone feel so welcome- towels and a note laid out for our baby, a great basket full of dog treats and toys, and the best chocolates for us adults. We just loved our stay and hope to come back next summer. The general store doesn't have the best selection so the only thing we would do differently would be to bring more food from home. But that didn't stop us from having a wonderful time and some nice picnics. Just loved the weekend!!!!!
If you are looking for a beautiful, relaxing, romantic get-away, this is it! Cherry, the owner, is quite possibly the sweetest person I've encountered in a long time, and this beach cottage was the perfect retreat for a weekend away. I would love to come back and stay for longer. The cottage looks right over the beach, and the rooms and decor are so charming. Cherry has left no detail overlooked, and you will arrive and feel right at home.
Amazingly furnished and decorated. Super clean and well taken care of. Our friends from Pennsylvania observed the best rental in 50 years.
We've stayed at this cottage for many years now, it is our favorite place to stay. It has the best views of the beach, you can hear the ocean roar, the house is welcoming, comfortable, and clean. The owers are attentive and truly care about our comfort during our stay...not to mention the delicious (melt in your mouth) handmade chocolates that await us every visit.
This is our third time we had the pleasure to stay at this incredibly beautiful beach cottage. My husband and I were pleased to finally meet the owner and she gave us a tour of all the new upgrades and beautiful garden before she left. We were welcomed with a small box of her delicious homemade candy. She is truly a special lady. As usual this place was so well stocked that you could spend a season there without having the need to leave except for purchasing groceries. The decor, artwork and furniture are beautiful and comfortable and the ocean view from the windows and large deck are to die for. We enjoyed feeding the wide assortment of birds and our little dog enjoyed exploring the area. Thank you again for another wonderful vacation and your help on how to hook up to the internet with our older computer. It worked. We'll definitely be back next year. Your happy renters from Sacramento.
This cottage is amazing--impeccable taste in decor, luxury kitchen with all the amenities, beautiful gardens in both front and back yards, and the most comfortable beds (besides your own) you will ever sleep in. We felt like we were staying in a friend's home. We will definitely return. Dillon Beach is one of those untouched places. Sharing the sandy beach, dunes, tide pools, and roaring ocean with our children is the greatest gift we could realize.
Overall, this was the most relaxing trip to the beach ever taken by our family. Everything we needed was available to us. The cottage was warm, cozy, comfortable and the views were outstanding from every window. Fortunately, we had good weather and enjoyed the deck, BBQ and just relaxing outside as much as possible. We could watch our husbands surf fishing on the beach. We cooked all our meals and found everything we needed easily. The kitchen was well stocked and newly updated. Every room was very clean. It was a nice touch to find delicious chocolates when we walked through the door. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a get away to rest, relax and enjoy the beach. Just wish our stay could have been longer.
I absolutely love this cottage. It has a simple elegance that is unsurpassed. We have used VRBO many times, and never have we felt more comfortable. The views from all the rooms are breathtaking, the convenience to the beach, perfect. The accommodations topnotch, including high grade cotton linens and beautiful dishes, not to mention all the beautiful artwork. The house is a true joy to be in, so much so that we have already booked for next year - thank you so much Cherry for making your home so welcoming - Louise
My husband and I had a wonderful time at the 13th of Summer house. Our first two days were glorious spring-like days. The next two were cold, clear and wintry. Almost as though we stayed in two different places. The views are magnificent. The sunsets out of this world. Sunrise was my favorite however, with the sunshine spreading over the ocean like a shimmering blanket. We've made plans to return in July and can't wait for the fireworks. It looks like we've found our new go to place for fun and relaxation. Everything we needed and wanted was there. Cherry and Jim have provided a well equipped home that just makes me smile. Thanks for sharing the 13th of Summer with us. Suzi, our Shih Tzu, loved playing on the beach. Fabulous beach for dogs.
I thank you for sharing this beautiful and comfortable home. I loved the ocean view and the amount of sunlight throughout the whole house. To wake up in the morning and being able to see and smell the ocean. And, at night falling asleep listening to the sound of crashing waves on the beach front. Your new kitchen is beautifully updated and such a delight to cook in. The house welcomed me with so much love, charm, and comfort.
