Matt’s Celebration
Reviewed on 2025-01-16 by Joyce T. , Sacramento, CA USA large house with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, great room (kitchen, living and dining), lg family room, garage play room. VERY STEEP DRIVEWAY. Did not like the driveway. Wrap around porch. No real outside space, the lot is too steep. Some problems fireplace didn’t work, slider screen door was damaged, one of the steps to the front door was not illuminated. (My husband fell.). Absolutely beautiful view of Dillion Beach and the Pacific.
Great everything!
Reviewed on 2024-09-25 by marci d. , Gold River, CA USThis house was clean and very well organized and stocked. The view was unbelievable. The beach is close. We would definitely stay there again. We loved the hot tub!

Great stay for a group trip
Reviewed on 2024-08-16 by , Sacramento, CA USWe had a comfortable stay for a family weekend trip to the beach. The living room was great for hanging out and the kitchen and grill made preparing meals very easy. The game room was fun.<br/><br/>The house could use some minor repairs: some of the window blinds are missing, some of the kitchen chairs are broken, one of the toilets is a little loose.<br/><br/>Overall, very cool house and a great place for a group trip to Dillon Beach!

Absolutely wonderful
Reviewed on 2024-03-18 by , Austin, TX USThe home is just as described and was very clean when we arrived. It’s well stocked with appliances for cooking and eating and we cooked several yummy meals in the kitchen. We rented whale watch for my mother’s 75th birthday and my siblings and I couldn’t have been happier. The views seriously can’t be beat. We’ve gone to Dillon beach my whole life and this cabin has better, more expansive views than any place we’ve ever stayed. The ping pong table was a huge hit! The only “issue” that did arise has nothing to do with the home or the owner or the property managers - as they were all amazing - but it has to do with the neighborhoods HOA. My brother and his wife were going to go camping after our weekend and so he had his truck camper (the kind that sits on the bed of the truck) on. At about 9pm my mom noticed someone peering into our cars and when she went out the guy took off. Instead of telling us that the HOA doesn’t allow any form of camper in the neighborhood he ran away and called the owner and property managers and probably woke them up. They both called to let us know about the rule and both were very nice about it and told us where he could park it near the neighborhood, which we did immediately. Anyhow - just a warning that the HOA is pretty intense. They also have a very strict “no more than 4 cars” policy per driveway which was fine for us but just know that ahead of renting! Again, on a whole the cabin was incredible and we would definitely rent again!

Airbnb Review - July 2022
Reviewed on 2022-12-02 by ReillyI loved my stay at Whale Watch! The location simply cannot be beat. The view from the living room and front deck is postcard perfect and you really feel the majesty of the Pacific coast from the moment you arrive. It’s a short drive or medium walk to the beach, which was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was incredibly spacious and well designed. Fun amenities like the game room with ping pong and foosball tables added a lot to our stay, as did the hot tub. Two of the beds are pull out sofa beds, so plan accordingly. My friends didn’t mind but it could be tough for folks who want their own room or don’t want to share a bed etc. Overall, I’d say this place is a gem: great location, cozy home, and enough space for a medium group to savor the beauty of Tomales Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

We will be back no doubt
Reviewed on 2022-10-24 by , Turlock, CA USOur trip is exactly what we needed! House was very clean! Upstairs is amazing - big open kitchen and family room. Very comfortable couches, beds, etc... We will be back for sure. Notes: Deer lots of deer...after the sun goes down they will be out in the back behind the grill and out front bedded down for the night.! I was surprised at how close they were to the house. We were given 1 towel per person for the whole visit - I wish they had some back up. Also important to note there is NO washer or dryer. Not a big deal but something to keep in mind. We are already looking at when we can go back.

Ocean Views
Reviewed on 2022-10-13 by Julianne N. , SACRAMENTO, CA USWe had a beautiful 3-day stay at Whale Watch. Loved the open and updated kitchen, living and dining space. Good views and house was very clean (appreciated!). Also had ocean view from the primary bedroom (nice!). Unfortunately, we did experience two separate hours-long power outages during our stay. Ended up playing games by lamp light. And no washer/dryer at home, just an FYI. Not listed but we were surprised by this. Property company very responsive and professional.
