House Vibe...
Breaking Waves is an idyllic 2 bedroom 1 bath coastal retreat, offering the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure for 4 of your favorite people. This cozy, original beach cottage is perched on a bluff, with stunning panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. The promise of sea breezes, possible sightings of whales and dolphins, and the rhythmic sounds of the breaking waves below, creates an inviting atmosphere for both family gatherings and romantic getaways.
Seating on the deck allows leisurely moments spent soaking in the natural beauty, perhaps with a good book and glass of wine simply watching the world go by.
Breaking Waves is an ideal destination for anyone seeking a true coastal experience, where they can unwind, reconnect with nature, and create lasting memories by the sea.

Calm & Cozy
While smaller than our usual vacation rentals, we found Breaking Waves to be most accommodating. This home is clean and very well cared for. Beds and pillows were comfortable for our preference. The kitchen exceeded my expectations with needed items and workspace. The oceanfront splendor - what can I say!!! We hope to return soon and often.

Wonderful seaside getaway
My spouse and I went here to get away from the heat, and it was a wonderful stay! The cozy living space and deck are perfect for lazy mornings sipping hot tea and watching the wildlife (many deer, hawks, vultures, quail, and sea birds). The ocean view is stunning in clear weather and in fog. The house is wonderfully set up with all the kitchen equipment you need, cozy bedding, and bathroom amenities for a great, comfortable stay. This house would be worth it just for the setting, but it's thoughtful setup and homey interior makes it even better. Trips to the beach are quick and easy, and the surrounding area has lots of great food and day trip options. This place is a gem!

From the moment you enter through the front door, you are greeted by a very impressive view of the pacific ocean. The home was thoroughly cleaned and the beds were very comfy.

Exactly the trip I needed
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: If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful place to stay, this is it. The drive into the Dillion Beach area is absolutely beautiful, and it just kept getting better and better the closer we got to the property. We were greeted by 14 deer our first morning there including 6 fawns. They were not bothered by me standing on the deck watching them eat. The cottage is as pictured, cozy and quiet. Exactly what I needed!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Second time at this house and it did not disappoint. I will likely go back. The location and views are perfect for anyone who enjoys being by the ocean. The only suggestion I have, and this would not affect my returning, is to put screen doors on the sliders. That's it, otherwise the house is perfect.

Lovely Escape from the Sacramento Heat
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We absolutely loved our stay at Breaking Waves. It was the perfect ocean front home for my wife and I and our 2 year old daughter. It was very kid friendly and one of the best views in the entire neighborhood. The beds were very comfortable with a variety of pillows to choose from depending on your sleeping style. There were a bunch of games to play and toys for kids in a toy chest in one of the bedrooms. The entertainment center was very easy to use. We were able to connect our phones to the Sonos system immediately. However, we really didn’t need to because there was already music playing when we walked in. Plenty of warm blankets and towels. Great kitchen, cooked some amazing pasta and grilled some steaks outside. The grill ran out of propane but there was a spare waiting! We saw many animals from the patio including deer, bobcats, pelicans, and vultures. The really high ceilings made the space feel incredibly spacious but the size and decor of the house made it very cozy. 5-10 minute walk to the beach and a 2 minute drive to the beach parking.The only things I would change would be having the windows and patio glass cleaned. It was really hard to see through. I thought it was just condensation but we found an old squeegee and did our best to clean off the windows and could see through them easily for the rest of the trip. The other thing I would fix would be the deck. The side gate to the bbq was broken and there were a few areas on the deck where I had to pay close attention to my daughter due to a few rusty nails.Other than these minor issues, this home was incredibly well loved and I imagine the family it belongs to has had countless cherished memories of their lovely seaside home. I’m grateful my family and I could create memories of our own here.

The house listed on this review is not the house we stayed in. Unfortunately this house was damaged the weekend before we were due to arrive. So we were offered 2 other homes both much nicer than the one we originally rented. The check in process was delayed due to cleaning issues but once we were in the home it was perfect!! Very clean, very spacious and had everything you could possibly want. Although we would have loved some books on the history of the area, the beach - any local history. It was beautiful weather and just steps to the beach. Truly magical place. Thank you

Beautiful and a Little Odd
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 house was very nice and the location was amazing! The view was incredible. The house was clean and as expected. It wasn’t exactly a simple walk down to the beach. It rained while we were there so it didn’t matter to us. The kitchen was well-stocked. The mattresses were hard so that made for restless nights. We did appreciate the space heaters and extra blankets. The odd part was a tv that would suddenly turn on, full blast, on its own and then back off again. It happened a few times the first day and that was it. Very weird! That being said, we would absolutely go again. Especially if they replace those mattresses.

The view at this property is worth a million dollars. It is perfect for a couple or a small family. It appears to be about 800 square feet in total. It is clean and comfortable but could use some updates. I would stay here again if we end up going to Dillon Beach again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is my third stay at Breaking Waves. It's the perfect house for two people. I could sit and look at the ocean all day and check out the activity on the beach. The home is well stocked, but this time I did feel like it needs some updating. The kitchen and bath are starting to look shabby. The decor is lovely, but for the price, some modernization is called for!

Million Dollar Views
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: Good location, awesome views, clean and had everything we wanted. To be honest, the house and furniture are a bit worn. However, it's pleasant, comfortable and homey. Also it's not cluttered with superfluous kitchen supplies or decorative features (two of my pet peeves with rental homes). Two surprises that we especially appreciated were the tray of goodies from the management agency, and the very extensive DVD collection, presumably from the owners. Wifi was great, TV and DVD player were easy to use. Neighborhood is quiet. Loved being right by the ocean, staring out at the sea, hearing the waves, watching the birds & deer, and seeing the moon and stars on clear nights. It IS the California coast in summer, so there was often fog in the mornings, usually clear in the afternoons. We drove either north to Bodega Bay or south to Point Reyes every day, took a hike, went out to dinner. Had a great 5 days! We were happy to be there and would definitely stay there again.

perfect intimate getaway
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: Breaking Waves was the perfect place for a romantic getaway. The house is right on the water; we spent mornings doing yoga on the gorgeous deck and evenings bundled up listening to the waves. Well stocked kitchen, small local general store within walking distance if you forget anything. Size of rental was perfect for a couple, or 2 couples if you are close. Can't wait to return.
