A bit about Abalone Alcove – "A Super Fun Coastal Beach House with Epic Ocean Views!" 🌊✨
Perched above the sparkling Pacific, Abalone Alcove is a bright, playful retreat perfect for families, friends, or couples looking to soak up the magic of Dillon Beach. Start the day with coffee overlooking the ocean, spend afternoons laughing and relaxing in the breezy open living spaces, and end with sunset cocktails or cozy movie nights.

Sunny, cozy, and full of coastal charm, Abalone Alcove is Dillon Beach at its happiest—fun, relaxing, and

Reviewer Comments:
We love this location and each time we rent a little longer than the time before and I’ll be darned it still flies by. Amanda (wine country to coast rental agency representative is amazing. Excellent customer support. The amenities this time were great! House always had a coffee pot, but now they have a Keurig machine (we used usually packed ours) and different flavored pods. Also the bathroom has upgraded supplies and for the hot tub towels are now provided for guest use! Sounds silly but I really appreciated all the extras the agency provided and didn’t have to unpack half of my own items. Love the entire atmosphere of this house. The deer are so beautiful and friendly. Pet friendly too!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Nov 2025
The home was very comfortable, well furnished and everything was available. The views were sensational. Host was welcoming and available The only thing I would ask for is better weather otherwise a marvelous get away.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
Easily the best stocked beach home I have ever visited. There were so many wonderful little surprises and extras … the dishes and ability to make utterly anything that came to mind was truly appreciated. The property was clean, lovely floor plan with enough space for everyone and then some! We absolutely loved our visit to Dillon Beach!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2025
There were some problems with windows and how hot the house was with minimal fresh air. Problem with parking pass. Views were amazing and since I was at the beach most of the time, it was ok. Won't be back there again. Prefer a property closer to the ocean.
