About The Lookout
Sandy toes, sunset BBQs, and cozy fires after a day at the beach—The Lookout is pure Dillon Beach vacation fun! Just a 5-minute walk to the sand, this dog-friendly ocean-view bungalow sleeps 8 with two fireplaces, multiple living spaces, and decks made for soaking up the coast. Surf, build sandcastles, explore Tomales Bay, or take a long shoreline stroll, then come home for cards, cocktails, and a Pacific sunset. Perfect for families, couples traveling together, friends, girls’ getaways, multi-generational trips, and pups ready for a beach adventure.

Why This Home Stands Out
The Lookout makes beach days wonderfully easy. Grab your towel and stroll down to Dillon Beach, then come home to ocean views, a cold drink on the deck, and two cozy fireplaces waiting when the coastal air turns crisp. With separate upper and lower living areas, there’s room for movie watchers, card players, kids, and grown-ups to spread out—then come back together for dinner and sunset.


Living Spaces
Upstairs is where ocean views and easy coastal living come together, with comfortable seating, large windows, a fireplace, and direct deck access. Downstairs, the second family room adds a large sectional, Smart TV, another fireplace, and extra lounge space for movie nights, games, and lazy afternoons.


Kitchen & Dining
The fully equipped kitchen features a breakfast bar, dining area, and convenient deck access for effortless vacation meals. Pick up fresh local seafood, fire up the gas BBQ, gather everyone around the table, and let dinner roll right into sunset drinks on the deck.

We spent almost two weeks enjoying this as our home away from home. Cozy, well-appointed, and that view! The perfect place to rest and unwind in that classic Dillon Beach way - long walks on the beach, a few short drives to vineyards or a hike in the redwoods, and hours on the back deck watching the waves. Perfect.
