About

Cozy, clean and great vibe! This updated (including solar battery backup) cottage with a modern retro flair is in a walkable location near the General Store, Coastal Kitchen, and main beach access. It is a sleepier section of the village with a peekaboo view of the ocean from the corner of the deck, and pastoral views from the fully fenced backyard. There's even a doggy door for your medium or smaller furry friend.

Good to know

ABOUT DOGS: We LOVE DOGS (madly, I tell you) but are only 710 square feet please: Two dogs and 4 people max. While we are dog friendly, we are amazingly super clean. I know, right? But it's true! I credit our super-hero cleaning crew who always goes above and beyond to make the Sundog sparkle for you. We also have very washable furnishings (Ruggables, etc) to make sure you are comfortable and we are clean. I have twins, so, you know... experience. Backyard is fully fenced and secure with a charcoal BBQ grill, and picnic table. The birds are almost always singing here. We are clean and peaceful and serene, and hope that is what draws you in to stay with us!

Other Details to Note

No smoking of any variety (anywhere on the premises). Please clean up after Fido.

House Rules

Shhhhhh 9pm - 8am Our neighbors live here full time. Please do not let your dog poop in their yard (and always clean up after them on the street and beach) . Please do not block neighboring driveways. Due to our small but mighty size, as well as our septic system, we simply can't accommodate a group larger than 4 or parties of daytime visitors. There are a lot of homes here that can, tho! Just not The Sundog. What lives at the beach, stays at the beach. Our gorgeous coastline is home to much sea life that you are likely to enjoy viewing in their natural habitat! These are sensitive creatures, so please leave them where are, and allow them to thrive. Thank you!

Accessibility

Neighborhood

The Dillon Beach Village is a charming little town with a mixture of full time and part time residents. Our neighborhood is a sleepier side of the village a stones throw from the store and restaurant. A short jaunt past the new tiny homes, and you're at the main beach. We are neighbors first, as we live just down the street from here, and so excited to help make a special experience for you. Parking is very limited with only one driveway spot, so please plan accordingly. With all of this in mind, please message prior to booking and let's see if we are a good fit for one another!

Guest Access

The house is yours! There is nobody else living there. :) The lower door is storage space, only.

Valerie is a terrific host. She went out of her way to communicate with us and assure that we had everything we needed. This listing was full of charming extras. The kitchen was well stocked, the bedding was fantastic and she responded immediately to our texts. Despite the cottage being at the back of the village, when you open the windows and the front door, you can hear the waves crashing. The neighborhood is quiet with a lot of wildlife to include, deer, owls, and hummingbirds and the general store is literally a two walk from the front door. We had a wonderful stay

Had a wonderful mini stay at Sundog with a baby and toddler. Val was super kind and helpful, providing us with an early check-in and local recommendations. The home is spotless, warm and welcoming. It is so thoughtfully put together; Val has really thought of everything. And yes: the beds and linens are really that ridiculously comfortable. Would stay again in a heartbeat! Hopefully for longer next time.

The Sundog was the perfect place to relax with my family (both human and dogs). Cute, comfy and felt like home. Close to the beach and very peaceful. Valerie was so thoughtful and welcoming, she even provided gifts for both human and our fur babies ❤️. We will be coming back and would 150% recommend to stay here!

The sundog is such a special place and an amazing way to experience Dillon beach. Valerie is such an amazing host and is so kind, we mentioned we were celebrating our senior dogs gotcha day and she got a present for him and he has been cuddling with it ever since 😊

Valerie is definitely one of the best Hosts I’ve ever experienced. She was responsive, helpful and extremely personable! Her home was cozy and very well appointed. The decor is tasteful & eclectic and felt beachy in the best way. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again!

Goodness, this place is a gem. House - matches the photos, is super cute. High quality linens and towels - yes they make a difference and you can tell. The location of the house is great, walkable to the beach, close to the store and restaurant. The house is the best stocked AirBnb I have stayed at. Has all the kitchen tools you'd need, generous supplies for the the usual needs- salt, pepper, tea, coffee, etc made it really easy to cook as if it was your own home. Host - The host is exceptional. She made everything from booking to checking out seamless. She makes you feel like it's your home. 100% would recommend and will be staying here again.

Find us

Walking to the store and beach you have two options. For the more spry, risk taker, a straight shot down while you look out vehicles coming into the beach. Otherwise, for the more nonchalant, leisurely stroll enjoying the views and fellowship throughout the village, walk north to North St. (haha) Turn left and left again at Cypress (the green house). You're now in eyeshot! See that? Easy peasy!
