"Wonderful Experience
My family and I had a wonderful weekend in Dillon Beach! This property is very beautiful and we all had our fair share of fun. I loved that the property was well stocked with everything (kitchen utensils, pots, pans, seasonings, extra towels, blankets, pillows, zip lock bags, etc). I am definitely planning to come back to this property in the new year! The hosts made it a very easy check in and check out process. The view was amazing! The neighbors were also very friendly and nice! I would 10/10 recommend! "

"Beach Combing!
The house was clean and comfortable. Plenty of room for all my family. Short walk to the beach cliffs and then down to the beach. The Property manager was very responsive to all my inquiries."

"Knot A Care
Dillon Beach has been our family happy place for years. With all of the changes that have taken place there it was great to find a house big enough for us within walking distance to the beach. The house is comfortable and well maintained. We so enjoyed our family time. The property management folks were great."

"Great location; everything else was ok but not special
Excellent location and the house was very clean. Didn’t love the little inconsistencies, eg all the lights and fans were on when we checked in, but we’re asked to shut them all off at check out , out of alleged sustainability concerns. "

"Great Location!
Nice stay in a quiet neighborhood. We were off season and not here on a weekend, so really enjoyed the lack of crowds, traffic and noise. Lots of wild life abound. Hot tub had some sand in the bottom and someone stopped by unexpectedly to maintain, but otherwise very peaceful. Neighbors were friendly. Nearby general store is expensive, but helpful in a pinch for miscellaneous needs. Hosts were extremely helpful and accommodating. "

"Fabulous Beach house
My family and I had an amazing time at this beach house. Family gathering is is a perfect place to make wonderful memories. Thank you for the welcome goodies, the beautiful views and relaxing music as we entered the beach house. Thank you thank you. "

"Great place for a girls getaway
We had a couple problems that were addressed immediately. Dennis the handyman was efficient, professional and friendly. We were there during a rainy period and had a leak downstairs, which was inconvenient but manageable. Property management was quick to respond, which was a great comfort. All in all it was a great place to spend a long weekend with friends. Neat and clean and comfortable. Very short walk to the beach.
The kitchen had everything we needed. We were confused by check out requirement of not only running dishwasher the morning we were leaving but to empty it as well. That made checkout day hectic. We will definitely book again!"

"Wonderful beach vacation
I've started a tradition of renting a place in Dillon Beach each year for my birthday in January. We've been using Wine Country to Coast for over 5 years now and have always had a great experience with all their properties. This location was no different. "

"Knot-a-Care
GREAT! Beautiful house, great location close to the beach, great window and deck views of the ocean. All amenities were present in the home--we enjoyed using the grill and hot tub, and living areas. TV was very old, and we couldn't connect with any of our smart devices, so were limited to a strange collection of existing dvds. "
Aug 03, 2022 - Rosalind C., Sonoma, CA
"We'll be back!
We enjoyed it very much. Our group included 6 adults and three children. Everyone loved the house. Fantastic location near the beach. Hot tub. Table tennis. nice amenities. well maintained.
The beautiful beach is 2-3 minutes easy walk from the house.
The place is quiet and has a very nice view of the beach.
Short driving distance to small towns with restaurants and stores.
Best vacation in many years. "

"Knot a Care
4 adults and 3 children “hit the decks’ on an extremely windy afternoon arrival.. the kids claimed their spaces immediately and unpacked in spacious closets, as did adults. West deck for sunsets was great but winds forced us East to glassed in West deck- a lifesaver! Kitchen, dining and living area were well appointed snd stocked with essentials. Terrific sunset/ ocean views from perfectly placed windows/ the home fit our needs perfectly!!"

"Our stay at Knot-a-Care property in Dillon Beach
It was pleasant. The beds were comfortable. The property is in a walking distance to the main beach. That was awesome.
NOTE: the only issue we had with the house was, one of the rail on the deck out of master bed room is extremely loose and it is a major hazard and accident waiting to happen. It definitely needs immediate repair."

"GREAT SPRING BREAK VACATION HOME WITH MY GRANDKIDS
MY DAUGHTER AND I HAD A GREAT TIME WITH 6 OF MY GRANDKIDS...THE KIDS ENJOYED THE PLAYROOM IN THE GARAGE AND ALL OF THE ROOMS WERE VERY COMFORTABLE, WELL STOCKED AND SPACIOUS. THE KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS WERE ALSO VERY WELL STOCKED. ONE COMMENT ON THE ROAD TO THE BEACH...I EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO WALK DOWN TO THE BEACH WITH THE KIDS, BUT THERE WAS A WASHED AWAY SLOPE ON THE WALKWAY TO THE BEACH, THAT MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO WALK WITH CHAIRS, BAGS, ICE CHESTS, ETC. AND THE KIDS. WE HAD TO DRIVE TO THE BEACH...BUT WE HAD A GREAT TIME WHEN WE GOT THERE!"

"Fantastic location, easy walk to Dillon Beach
This house is in a fantastic location, it was an easy 5 min walk down to the beach that was on a trail easy enough for my 70 year old mom and my 3 year old daughter.
The house itself was a great set-up for traveling with kids as there are 3 rooms downstairs plus a family room with a tv so we were able to not listen to 5 ipads/video games and have an actual adult conversation upstairs while the kids were playing downstairs.
The beds were a bit on the firmer side but that was ok, really the only issue was the downstairs shower had no water pressure and it took 3-5 mins to actually get warm, not hot, water. We tried to take really short showers because of the draught but that shower made it impossible.
The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all meals at the house and the hot tub worked great!
Overall fantastic vacation and we'd definitely rent the house again!"

"Amazing birthday weekend at Knot-a-Care!
We had a wonderful time celebrating our birthdays at Knot-a-Care! It exceeded all expectations: clean, spacious and comfortable with amazing views, a very short walk to the beach and into town, bbq on the patio, hot tubbing nightly and multiple ping-pong championships. Highly recommended! "

"Girl Trip Success
Our trip was amazing! The house was clean and perfect for our group!! The location was perfect. We hiked, spent time on the beach, walked the bluffs and never needed our car!! We will be back!! All this & an amazing property mgmmnt staff!! "

"A calm respite from hectic times.
The home fit our needs: quiet relaxation and a gathering spot to hang out. It is a very short walk to the beach, but be aware that it is a climb over rocks. The house had a wonderful large table we could all eat around. The kitchen is small but very workable. The place is light and airy with great windows and plenty of space. The back deck is huge and has plexiglass to shelter you from the wind. Unfortunately, all of the outdoor chairs seemed to be broken (cracked so unsafe to use)."

"Just what the family needed
2 grandparents, 2 daughters, 2 sons-in-law and 2 grandchildren ages 3 and 12 enjoyed much-needed time together at the beach, playing ping pong and board games, singing karoke, feasting, snacking and hot tubbing. The time was too short especially since check out time was at 11 am. "

"50th Anniversary Celebration
Excellent rental and location, had a fun 4 days here in June 2021. Plenty of dishes cups and space for 10 people. The home was comfortable and clean. Property management company was wonderful and fixed a small issue with the dishwasher within hours of reporting it. I would love to come back and rent again as it was a wonderful week in Dillon's beach."

"Perfect getaway to the beach
The rental was great, just what we needed for our first trip since lockdown 2020. It was clean, well stocked, super close to the beach, and very quiet. See the review for more details, but overall we really enjoyed the rental and felt like we had good communication with the property management and knew exactly who to call for any issues thanks to the obvious signage in the home."

"December Trip
We had a wonderful time! The view of the ocean while drinking coffee in the morning was the best. We all enjoyed ourselves."
Dec 20, 2020 - , Forbestown , CA
"Wonderful beach house
Lovely big house. Comfortable beds. Quiet. Deer visits every day. Great outdoor spaces included the back deck sheltered from the wind and a front deck perfect for morning coffee while staring at the horizon and listening to waves. Loved walking the bluffs, watching the sunset and playing on the beach.
If I could improve one thing it would be adding a window covering on the big beautiful picture window in the living room. Long summer days give way too much sun in that room making watching the tv tough and it can get warm in there, even in the mild beach weather and with windows open.
The hot tub wasn’t working but they called ahead to let us know and gave a discount, so no real complaints there.
Overall, wonderful and we hope to be back!"

"Perfect Stay
My husband and I were so lucky to stay at Knot-a-Care. We are travel healthcare workers and truly needed a little beach time with our kids. Stacy's house was perfect. It was clean, had everything we needed, a 2 minute walk to the beach and had a hot tub! There was hardly anyone around the entire time we were on the beach, we couldn't have asked for more. THANK YOU!"

"Epic Birthday celebration weekend!
My family and I had the opportunity to spend an incredible weekend at Knot a Care Dillon beach, it was a wonderful house well stocked, we loved the decor, there was enough space and rooms for all. The walk to the beach was short and sweet. The views were great! Thank you so very much! So many great memories!"
Feb 19, 2020 - Rita G., Sonoma, CA
"Perfect Location
Overall we had a lovely stay. Their were cleaners in the house at our arrival time. The internet was also out when we arrived, because we were there for a working retreat we needed internet ASAP. We called the number on the box and the repairman came quickly and he spent 4 hours rewiring the internet, including drilling new holes in the roof. He was very professional and friendly, but that isn't how a stay should start. Also when we arrived the hot tub was green and cloudy. We called and were told the hot tub person said green was the normal color. We then sent a picture, and they came out and drained and refilled it (and it no longer looked green or cloudy). It took over 24 hours for the water to warm enough to use it. We were given a discount for this issue. The kitchen table is also very wobbly which made working at the table a bit difficult. Other than those things, the house, the linens, and the location were perfect. "
Feb 18, 2020 - , Berkeley, CA
"Beautiful, clean, comfortable home
We had a wonderful time here and will definitely come back! The house is even nicer and more spacious than the pictures suggest. Rooms had plenty of linens and pillows, kitchen was clean and fully stocked. The location is superb, just a short walk down to the beach or to the Dillon General Store. We were a group of three families with small children and there was more than enough space. One recommendation if you have really small kids is to bring a baby gate, as the stairs separating the living area from the bedrooms are quite steep. "

"Knot-A-Care Christmas
My family (5 grownups and 4 grandchildren) spent Christmas week at the Knot-a-Care property in Dillon Beach on the Sonoma Coast. It was absolutely delightful. The beach walking is fabulous. There is a great market in the village. We never got in our cars or left the area except for Christmas dinner with relatives nearby. The house accommodated all of us very nicely. It's a short and lovely drive to Tomales. The staff is friendly and accommodating. As I pulled up, Dani happened to be there to ready the house for us and was welcoming and helpful. We would definitely stay there again! Our only suggestion to the owners would be to better stock the kitchen with some basics--salt, pepper, a few common items like garlic powder, etc. We felt like the basics one normally finds in pricey rentals were sparse. Other than that, splendid!!"

"We loved knot-a-care
This was a great house for our group of families. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kids loved playing ping pong in the garage, and the common areas and hot tub were loved by all. Being such a short walk to the beach was fantastic, too. And the views! Such amazing views from the living room, deck, and kitchen. Perfect for watching the beautiful sunsets.
The kitchen had a few glitches that we weren't crazy about--the (electric) oven/stove didn't work all that well--one burner not at all and the oven seemed to only really heat on one side. Also, there was a stand mixer in the photos, so we planned a baking project that we wouldn't have undertaken if we knew we had to mix/knead by hand, but when we went to use the stand mixer, it was completely dead (we tried it in several different outlets that were definitely working). Not a huge deal, but I found it a little annoying that it was in the photos and yet didn't work. I know those mixers look pretty, but if it doesn't work, don't advertise that it's there.
We had trouble with the heat when we first got there, but we called and someone was sent over immediately to fix it.
Overall, we loved this house and are already thinking about renting it again next year. We've stayed in at least 8 different houses in Dillon Beach and this is one of my favorites."

"Do not rent the homes within the Dillon Beach HOA!!!!
Rented this property for my daughter's 40th b-day. Being a family of 14, we rented 2 homes from 9/19-9/22. Knot A Care is located in the Dillon Beach HOA & the other was in the village. We would walk between the 2 properties & it seemed to work out. On Saturday afternoon, my 40 year old daughter, was walking to the village & cut the corner on Tahiti/Oceania. She did not trespass or walk through the vacant property.. A security vehicle driving by slowed down & told her to "get back to where she belonged". When she said she was staying at 3 Tahiti & it was her birthday, he responed "I don't care". Background on my daughter: she is a professional property manager who supervises large multifamily properties & knows tenant/landlord and Fair Housing law. Telling someone to "get back where you belong" is not a phrase that illicit a positive response from anyone. She started to respond to this ignorant dictate, but decided to walk away. At 6:15 that evening I received this email from Dillon Beach & Russian River Escapes: "Melissa, I was just told that one of your party was wandering on the property of XXX Tahiti Way. This can not happen. Im going to have to still my boss, Stace, about this. Dale patrols our homes for us and the person he told to stay off of the neighbors property was disrespectful of him. Please take care of this problem. Thanks, Valerie." I called immediately but an answering service answered. No help to my problem. Later that evening, our group was on the front deck in anticipation of watching the sunset. We watched, oohed and awed and were throughly enjoying the evening. At 7:45 another employee of the HOA pulled up in front of the house telling us a neighbor had complained. We were told to get inside. My husband & I are 60+ & our group included grandchildren. Not wild nor loud. The five houses that bordered us were vacant. I have heard about the harassment of visitors but this was appalling. Ruined our vacation. Think twice about renting here. "
Sep 24, 2019 - Melissa S., Sacramento, CA
"Great stay
Stayed here with my family and my brother and his family- it comfortably slept 8-10 of us. Great views- watching sunsets on the deck was the perfect end to a great day. Enjoyed long walks on the beach and all the dogs. Would love to come back."

"Perfect Family Escape!
just 5 houses from the beach, lovely views of the ocean, wildlife, quiet neighborhood,huge back deck for outside BBQ's, front deck for morning coffee with ocean view, beautiful architecture, great beds!It's PERFECT! A block from the adorable downtown cottage village in one direction and the ocean in another. "
Aug 06, 2019 - , San Rafael, CA
"Great Location for various activities
The house was in a great spot to go to wine country, san Francisco, redwoods and various nature hikes. Enjoyed the comfy atmosphere of the house and rooms and seeing the deer walking around was a bonus. It was missing a blow dryer but we received one shortly after reporting it. Only other recommendation is that on the papers that explain some things about the property, you should put where the FUSE box is located. A fuse blew one morning when we had the toaster plugged in and both sides going and could NOT find the box for about an hour. "

"A relaxing getaway
We had a wonderful time at Knot-A-Care. There were 10 of us and we felt like we had plenty of room, and the kids even had their own space. We loved the decks and the views. The only problem was the house phone didn't work and since we had no cell service we couldn't make calls out, but it was nice being away from it all for a weekend. Being so close to the beach was a major perk! "

May 29, 2019 - , Vallejo, CA
"too many emails from you...
It is annoying to me to get all the system generated emails once we rented the house. It is a vacation; give me a break.
The property could use some landscape maintenance; seemed overgrown. Hot tub temp set at 96 degrees; couldn't increase it. Kitchen cupboards over the counters are right at head level; was afraid I would bump into one. (would be nice to have soft close hinges on them) "
May 15, 2019 - Gary W., Woodland, CA
"Perfect family vacation home
We rented this Dillon beach home for our family vacation and it was perfect. Location is amazing, lots of space to hang out, hot tub included, what more could you want? We even went to Nick's Cove for dinner one night which was just a quick 15 minutes from the house. The beach was literally right down the street and during the weekdays it was really quiet and peaceful. We are already discussing coming back next year."
May 14, 2019 - Heather R.
"Good Photographer
The owners had a good photos for the website. $1500 for two nights. Wifi not functioning, dishwasher not leveled (racks came out of the dishwasher as soon as you opened the dishwasher), a sheet for curtains in one bedroom and constant reminders of the rules. All of this might be okay but there was no warning about the condition of the house. I would have chosen a better rental for the price"

This place is beautiful! Beds were clean, enough space for several adults and 2 small children and didn’t feel on top of each other. The little town has an amazing little bakery that is a must to try! Only note is to go to the grocery store before arrival as it is quite a drive. "

"Perfect Spot for the Family
A great stay for our family rendezvous! Very convenient to the beach, every amenity you need, and the perfect layout for ocean views! Low traffic in the neighborhood made for safe bike riding for the kids. Loved the deer bedding down in the open area next door!!"
Jul 06, 2018 - Donna P., Ogden, UT
"Perfect for a family
They layout was perfect for our family with a mix of ages. The husband and I stayed upstairs in the master and had privacy while the kids and grandchild were downstairs enjoying their own living room and hot tub at night while we wound down for the day. The deck was wonderful for watching surfers in the morning and the sunset in the evening while the back deck, being sheltered from the wind, was great for dinners al fresco. We had one issue with a sticky lock box and the owner's rep was over within 15 minutes to take care of it. I would not change a thing about our experience or this rental. "
Jul 03, 2018 - Sheryl F., Alameda, CA
"Great views! Equipped with almost EVERYTHING!
This vacation home is a rare find in that it's spacious, updated, has great views and must be the most well-equipped home we have ever stayed in. The kitchen was amazing; you can tell the owners really want to make sure their guests are comfortable. "

Our group of eight enjoyed a blissful weekend playing ping-pong, eating oysters, relaxing in the hot tub and soaking up the sun at this lovely property. Knot-a-care had everything we needed- comfortable beds, a fully equipped kitchen and prime location to enjoy ourselves in style. The proximity to the beach is a real plus, and the sunsets over the bluff were stunning! Hope to stay at this wonderful house again. "

We rented the house for our family and friends to celebrate our sons graduation. The house was very well stocked and very comfortable. We did have grandparents with us so who were unable to walk to the beach but the rest of the family loved it. The rental company was very easy to work with the battery in the smoke alarm was chirping and called they were right there to fix it on a Friday night. My kids are already asking when can we go again !
Thank you again"

"Excellent stay
I could not have asked for more... courteous & prompt responses to my questions; wonderful app that was full of timely reminders and helpful information; clean, spacious unit, well situated. The amenities mentioned in the listing were plenty (kitchen well stocked, books, board games, bedding, towels) all worked without any hiccups (wifi, hot tub, ping pong room). Most importantly, the property was clean and well-maintained for the kids to run about. Minor plus: good soundproofing of the rooms helped with our late nights while the kids slept in their rooms.
Thank you for helping us enjoy our vacation!"

"Family stay at Dillon Beach
We rented Knot a Care house in Dillon Beach. It's a very nice, comfortable house with a hot tub, game room with ping pong and 4 bedrooms, 2 baths. The 5 children we had with us loved the game room and also the board games in the house. There are nice decks to sit out on. The house is in walking distance of the beach and has nice ocean views. We enjoyed our stay very much."

"Knor-A-Care Lives Up to Its Name
We had a great family extended weekend stay at the house. The nearby beach is very kid friendly and my Grandchildren declared the holiday "the best ever." Although the home is relatively small the layout was perfect for the three families. We all enjoyed the hot tub and the access to the beach. the oly downside was the house next door kept their outside lights on all night and they shone into our bedroom and obsucered the beautiful star filled night. I asked them to turn them off after the first night but alas they remained on for the stay. I was surprised they were allowed 7 cars on the property and were able to park on the grass. Maybe they had special dispensation from the HOA. OVerall, we decdied toreturn to Dillon Beach for our yearly Presiden'ts day family weekend. I look forward to returning and recommend this home for others.

"Quilting Ladies
Property description needs to be updated. There was a bunk bed instead of a twin and trundle. Senior ladies don't do well with bunks. Funton had a 6" long and 4" wide dip in center. Don't know how anyone could sleep on it. Excellent management company. Had problems with hot water heater and they had someone there in less that 1/2 hr. even on Sunday. Gave it a 4 rate because beds weren't as described. Lots of knives and forks in kitchen but could use more spoons. Beautiful home. Easy walk to beach even for us old ladies. Hot tub was wonderful.
If you are going for a sewing get a way be sure and take heavy duty extension cords there are no electric outlets in the dining room. Plan on setting up your ironing and cutting stations in one of the bedrooms. Great place and rental agency is wonderful."

"Family stay at Knot-a-Care
My children, their partners and I had a wonderful Labor Day weekend at Dillon Beach. Knot-a-Care is a lovely home, well situated near the beach, with everything we needed for our stay.
We loved the comfy sofa, spacious decks with view of the ocean, and comfy beds.
The beach is a five minute walk away, and the trail down to it pretty manageable. "

"Every time the power goes out
This is the second time we've stayed at Knotacare and the house is in a great location, it is beautiful with enough space for everyone. My only complaint is both times we stayed the power went out. And there is only one flash light in the house. I had a house full of kids that we could not cook for or do anything for one night and the next day. This happened twice now, so I don't know if it's a normal thing that happens with all the houses on dillions beach but if so I believe the houses need to be better prepared for power outages. "

"Knot A Care was Fabulous!
We stayed here for 4 days/3 nights. With 8 adults and 2 kids, there was plenty of room for all of us. The house is beautiful, with 3 bedrooms downstairs and the kitchen/dining/family room and another bedroom located upstairs. The 2nd floor wraparound balcony has an unhindered view of the ocean. There is a patio in the back with a propane BBQ and plenty of chairs and tables -- it was here that we spotted several deer almost each day of our stay! The neighbors were quiet and kept to themselves. Our Cell Phone service and GPS had no service here (but the house has landlines which was great!). There is plenty of parking in front of the house (2 cars) and additional parking on the side leading to the garage (can park at least 3 cars). When we walked in to the house, the lights were on, there was pleasant music playing on the TV sets upstairs and downstairs and a little welcome granola bar/chocolate snack set up on the table. The house has almost everything that you may need. The kitchen is well stocked. There is plenty of bedding (the beds are all extremely comfortable and HUGE). There is quite a collection of books and DVDs/VHS tapes offering entertainment. We even used the ping pong table in the garage one night. The hot tub is clean and well maintained. Overall, the house is delightful and I am so glad that we chose it. My only complaint (if I can really call it that) is that there weren't very many things for young kids to play with; however, that is not their fault! You can walk to the beach directly from this property (the path is pretty steep in some areas so not suitable for all). Also, you can't park at the end of the street to climb down to the beach (it is restricted only to people who have an "Owners Permit" but it only takes a couple of minutes to walk down there. Overall, this property was very clean, well maintained, well stocked and the location is unbeatable. By the time we left, it was feeling like home and we were feeling nostalgic. "

"Perfect long weekend family getaway
Our family stayed at Knot A Care for a long weekend in March. We loved the house - the four bedrooms provided all the sleeping space we needed for the eight of us. The house is beautifully and comfortably furnished, with everything one could possibly need in the kitchen. The hot tub is wonderful, the multiple decks are awesome with gorgeous ocean views, and the ping pong table gave us the opportunity to have some friendly family challenges. This property is only a few minutes walk from the beach and from the Dillon Beach store and cafe. We would not hesitate to recommend this property as a great place to stay!"

"Good location. In need of simple upgrades
Pros: location, very comfortable beds, game room, hot tub
Cons: terrible oven. Uneven burners, old pots, old cooking utensils. Made it hard to cook. Musty smells, lots of dust in corners. Leaks in roof during rainy week. Wifi advertised and no bwifi available.
Simple upgrades would have changed the experience dramaticallyu"

"A Disappointment
Listed below are a numerous issues.Garage window does not lock.The interior door leading to the garage doesn't close.The door had to be wedged and bags set in front to insure this door would stay shut overnight.The water heater door does not stay closed.The siding glass doors upstairs do not latch.Down stairs sliding glass door, next to the hot tub, does not have a security stick. This stick is needed due to the lock on the sliding door is unreliable and broken as well.The outside light near the hot tub and the upstairs bedroom exterior light does not work.The closet handle in the bedroom next to the water heater room, has a nail sticking out and could potentially injure someone.Water leak at the upstairs chandelier. Water leak at the entry way ceiling.While looking in your guest notebook, I have noticed that some of the items I have listed, have been an issue since 2011. The maintenance on this property has not been great. Handyman wise and cleanliness. I woke up to an swollen uvula due to the mildew and mold at the windows and on the linens in the upstairs family and I have been renting properties at Dillion's beach for years. Family gatherings or just weekend getaways from our stressful lives. We enjoy the atmosphere and beautiful landscape of this section on the Pacific Ocean.I have come to your property to celebrate my daughters 16th birthday. And so far have regretted our stay at your Knot A Care property. For the price I paid for this two night stay is very disappointing. I don't feel safe and secure while my family sleeps with the lock issues.The name you have for this property, Knot A Care, is far from reality."

"Great Beach House!
We had a wonderful family reunion over Christmas at Knot-a-Care. The family room with the warm fireplace and beautiful view was the perfect gathering place. We enjoyed the ping-pong table, hot tub, and and walks to the beach. A great Dillon Beach escape!"

" Very satisfied!!
This was a great place for a holiday vacation. We station our friends from out of town at this house and took turns visiting them. It was a beautiful location, very near the beach, and All age groups were delighted. We had kids there and old folks and they all left happy! We made full use of the hot tub and the game room and the ping-pong table. The views were lovely and the house was very clean. We had trouble with the Wi-Fi and a couple bof lights were out, but other than that , Everything was great! Thank you again!"

"Wonderful Weekend
I rented Knot A Care for a long weekend to celebrate my boyfriend's 30th birthday and everything was just great. I have to shout out to the whole staff in the rental office for always being available and reaching out to their guests. We would definitely come again and stay in this beautiful house."

"A lovely gem
What a beautiful place! It was so peaceful. It was cool but the beach was lovely and scenic and so very nearby. The views from the upstairs deck in the morning and evening was wonderful and relaxing. The kids were entertained with the game room. With two families on location, the two stories were perfect to give us privacy and we loved the long table where we were all able to enjoy meals together. The decor is very stylish and feels like a resort. We didn't want to leave! Thank you."

"Not enough time...
This house is by far one of the better houses I have stayed at. Very clean and nice. You have a big ocean view from every bedroom. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. The kids loved the ping pong table and the fact his house is by far one of the closest to the beach the kids could go back and forth on there own. All 13 of us loved it and had a great time just wish we had more than a weekend, we needed a week to enjoy this place. Renting this home was a breeze everything over the Internet and key was at the house in the lock box when we arrived."

"The Perfect Escape
Our writers group loved the home. Nice open spaces for gathering. comfy furnishings and amazing views from so many rooms (and the decks.) The kitchen was very well-stocked too. Everyone loved the easy 2-min walk down to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!"
Nov 24, 2015 - Diana L., Sacramento, California
"Great location and neighborhood
Over all the house was nice. The kitchen draws could use a good cleaning and there were no coffee filters for the coffee maker. The beach is beautiful and a very short walk to the house. You can't beat the location! "

"End of the season don't worry about it!
13 page rental contract. A rule for everything! The house was not clean. Upon discovering the poor condition of the property we called the management to come out and inspect and they said that the management office was too far away to do a walk through and that it was the end of the season and don't worry about it."

Everything was exactly as it appears on the website. Clean, well-stocked, right on the beach. Our staff retreat was wonderful and we made use of the hot tub, ping-pong table, the kitchen, and more. Vacation rental company was responsive and flexible. Highly recommended!"

We had a great time at "Knot a Care". The house had an amazing view from second story kitchen / living room & tons of deck space as there are two huge decks. We loved the house. Super clean. We will definitely stay here again."

"Beautiful home with beautiful views
We stayed here for our anniversary with a few other close friends. The place was perfect for a relaxing weekend. The kitchen was fully stocked giving us the optimal setup to cook breakfast each morning and my husband and I cooked dinner for our guests the first night. We were lucky with the weather as well, a gorgeous day to take the easy two-minute walk to the beach and enjoy a warm sunny day lounging. "

"Exceptional house in a fabulous location
We had a great time here with friends and family. The kids had a blast walking down to the beach and spending the whole day there. We will certainly come back to Dillon beach."

"Didn't want to Leave
Wonderful weekend! Hot tub, decks, BBQ, views of ocean and hills, spacious inside and out! We had six people in our group and one could still find a quiet corner.
Our only request to management is pay more attention to the cleaning and maintenance of the property. (curtain rod pulling away from wall, an old towel behind sofa, spots on walls of bathroom, thick dust in places, and a dehydrated grape plus crumbs on carpet under living room coffee table). Attention to details would have made this a perfect weekend!"

"Great, comfy stay within walking distance to the beach
Great views, nice decking-huge, nice clean accommodations. Not the most kid friendly-steep stairs. We had a great stay except for one little guy that kept wanting to go up/down the stairs. The beach is right down at the end of the street with gorgeous sunset views."

"Perfect Ladies getaway
I have stayed at this rental twice, most recently for a bachelorette weekend. We all loved it! The house is a stumble to the beach, in great shape and with a well-stocked kitchen (including blender-crucial for margarita making). We love to save water and so were all down to bring our own towels. The only problem was that we ran out of toilet paper by the last day of our stay which was kind of rough (I'd recommend bringing extra). Overall though, awesome place!"

"Great house but needs a deep cleaning.
The house was awesome and ideally located however it was not the cleanest home we have rented unfortunately. The furniture needs to be cleaned or replaced; cabinets need a good cleaning and so does the outside of the refrigerator. "

"Knot-A-Care
We have enjoyed staying at Knot-A-Care for 5 or 6 times for a week long vacation for our extended family. The grandkids absolutely love the beach house, the hot tub and location so near to the beach. We noticed some minor improvements this year which were appreciated (painted tables, new dining chairs and new BBQ). However, the upstairs shower control knob was broken making it nearly impossible to control the water temperature. The slider door onto the back deck is nearly inoperable due to no wheels on the track. Otherwise, there were plenty of dishes, pots and pans and the Wi-Fi and TVs worked just fine. We hope to be able to rent Knot-A-Care again next year at about the same time. "

"Group getaway
A good place to get away from the city for a weekend for friends. Lots of bedrooms so it can accommodate quite a few people. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. All in all he place could use a little bit of love with regard to the furniture, bathrooms, decks, etc. very much feels like a second home full of undesired seconds. Not much of a community to explore, so I recommend bring it all in with you. "
Jul 09, 2013 - , Oakland, CA
"June 2013
The one great plus is the location! Down to the beach in a couple of minutes and down to the store is an easy walk also.
Now, for the down side. The futon was pitiful! The couch arms in the upstairs looked like they had never been cleaned. The kitchen is very small when you are housing 10 people although it is well equipped. And, the kitchen floor was sticky when I first walked in. One key for 10 made it difficult
As far as rental rules, I think there are far too many. My brother stopped by one morning and we were paranoid. That should not be the case as he was there to pick up someone. Also, my 14 year old granddaughter who is popular baby sitter could not even stay behind alone when the rest of us went to the beach, etc. Just two examples I'll share at this point. Next time I will rent through just because of the stringent printed protocol. There should be some trust involved. I am not trying to put anyone on the defense because the women I dealt with were highly professional and very accommodating. "

"Comfy Home by the Beach with Awesome Views
Loved our stay at the house. Everything was very nice. All basic necessities were there, clean and great views, very close to the beach. Minor issues... There was a problem with one of the toilets that was making strange noise when flushed and one of the beds was really squeaky. Overall enjoyed our stay a lot and would come back!"

"felt like errant children
we are a professional couple who has rented at Dillon every year for the past 20 years. we rented from this company for the first time and it was a nightmare. we were called to let us know that the traffic control person "spotted" a 5th car in our driveway! (not on the street). we were then called a second night to make sure "we knew" that we could not more than 10 people in the house at any time and that if we were going to have a party that there could only be 10 guests. Seriously, we read and signed the agreement and frankly are appalled at the lack of professionalism on the property managers part. for the record, we never breeched maximum number of guests. we felt like errant children and we will not rent from and we will tell amyone who asks - not to either."

"Ladies Weekend
Overall, the place was in a beautiful location and was comfortable for our group of 10 girlfriends. The beds were comfortable, the hot tub was great, the kitchen was cute and the dining area a good size. But the bathrooms were pretty dingy--felt like Motel 6. And the lack of towels was also a little ridiculous. One tiny towel per person for the whole weekend, and NO bathmats. Really, the towels at Motel 6 are nicer than these. I was disappointed that something this simple couldn't be included in the rental."
Jan 09, 2013 - , Sebastopol, CA
"
Several basic supplies were missing from the house. We suggest always providing sufficient toilet paper, paper towels, and facial tissues for the number of people (10 in our case). Also, the kitchen could use some basics such as oil, sugar, and aluminum foil.
Thanks."

"Knot a Care
It was perfect(almost)!! Having been spoiled at other properties along the coast (particularly Bodega), I was a bit annoyed by having to put linens on the beds. We were tired after our long drive, and making several beds was not a fun start to relaxation. But, other than that, perfect!"

"Wonderful!! I have been visiting Dillons Beach for 27 years and still enjoying being there. This house was perfect for my family. The management service was excellent. They took care of the jacuzzi and the garbage service! Many thanks!
The property management company was wonderful. I called them re: using the phone because of car trouble my dad was having. Not only were they concerned, but they were willing to call a tow company for me and told me to call if I needed anything. "
