Good stay overall… many outlets in the house didn’t work or sparked if we tried to plug stuff in. The walk to beach was tough for our older family members with physical ailments so we ended up driving them down to the public area at Lawson’s landing, which cost 15 per car to park for the day.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The feel of the beach house could be described as really "family comfortable". The layout is such that we never felt really tight or pressed for space, even with 9 people, there's a lot to love about the place. We cooked daily and 4 nights and the kitchen met our needs. Even though it's an older kitchen, they have it really well stocked with most all of the appliances you would need. One thing that was an inconvenience was that you could only plug in 1 device into a kitchen outlet (i.e. microwave or toaster, coffee maker, etc.) otherwise it will trip the circuit breaker. (workaround - we wound up making coffee in the bedroom) This may or may not be an easy fix to address on the electrical service panel.The beds and bedrooms were all considered comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked with towels, as well as spa towels.We had an issue with one of the tall white deck chairs, as someone had tried to make a repair, but when my wife went to sit up into it, the whole thing collapsed. She weighs all of 110 lbs. and fortunately bailed before it folded. The chair should be tossed to avoid serious injury. It would be nice to have a hand held battery blower available to keep the decks tidy.We loved the location to the beach, with easy trails, which made it a breeze to head out for walks or a run. You can literally be at the beach in about 5-10 minutes. The views are pretty sweet from each of the decks as well.All in all, it's an older beach home, but really charming and comfortable in it's design, layout, amenities, and proximity to the beach. We would stay here again!

Very comfortable! Stocked kitchen. Views the of the ocean from most rooms in the house and beach access just down the street. Our family of 6 had ample room to hang out together in the living and dining room. Management very responsive when we had questions or any needs. Great beach just a 5 minute drive from the house.

Fantastic location with ocean views from various parts of the house. Well stocked kitchen, large space for relaxing and dining. Recommend better maintenance however. Mildew in bathrooms and dirty sofas should be addressed. Otherwise great place. Thank you!

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: Once a year, family from out of state look forward to getting together at Dillon Beach. This beach house is our go to rental. Beautiful views of the ocean from not only the outdoor decks but also from almost every window in the house. Everyone can't wait to go back next year.
4.0 / 10.0
It's a great house. Spacious. Great views. Steep access to beach. The beach is not accessible from the house if you have mobility or ambulatory issues. You will need to drive to the public beach access. Short, hilly walk to the little neighborhood restaurant. Quiet neighborhood. Our biggest issue was that we came home from a day of exploring to find a maintenance worker in the house without our knowledge. Not only were we not informed by the property management company that maintenance was necessary but the person broke into the window because they didn't have a key. When I asked further, they told me it was because we took the key from the lockbox and locked the door so they had no way of entering the property. We called and emailed with the property management company several times to better understand why a person employed with the property didn't have a key to enter the property. We received a 3% refund for our troubles. I still feel very dismissed about our safety concerns and their protocols for when it's necessary to inform the renters that some one will be entering the property. They did respond quickly and politely but they were clear that their policy is to allow people to enter the actual house without informing the people currently renting the property.
