Sundog Cottage - Clean & Cozy - EV - Walk to Food & Beach - Fenced Yard for Dog

Stocked with the best and often forgotten essentials so you can arrive as you would to your own family beach house. We want you to be at home at Sundog the moment you pull into the driveway.

Cozy, clean and great vibe! This updated (Solar battery backup) cottage with a modern retro flair is in a very walkable location near the General Store, Coastal Kitchen, and main beach access. It is a sleepier section of the village with pastoral views from the fully fenced backyard and if you go to the far left corner of the front deck, depending on the growth of the trees down there, you get a peekaboo view of the ocean. There's even a doggy door for your (smaller) furry friend.

We've made the most of this sweet cottage, and it has an open feel and romantic, comfortable decor.

Each bedroom has a Queen bed.

Solar back up keeps the power on out here, and you know that's a big giant PERK.

ABOUT DOGS:

We LOVE DOGS (madly, I tell you) and are determined to be able to host them too, however we do have insurance restrictions on breeds (check if yours is a high profile breed), and limit two 2 dogs (3 if they're leeeetle) and 4 people max.

Backyard is fully fenced and secure with a charcoal BBQ grill, and picnic table. The birds are almost always singing here.

Front deck is huge, with Adirondack chairs and a a pup gate to keep everyone contained. We have the beach chairs, towels, umbrella, blanket, toys and all the things to make you happy down there in the sand.

We are clean and peaceful and serene, and hope that is what draws you in to stay with us!

Other things to note
No smoking (anywhere on the premises).
Please clean up after Fido.

Beautiful and so comfortable!

My mom, 7 yo daughter, dog, and I stayed at Sunday for a ‘girls weekend’. Valerie was by far the most welcoming and kindest host I’ve worked with for a vacation rental (and I do this at least 4 times a year, through various platforms.) The house is beautifully decorated and totally clean, the beds are SO comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked, and the attention to detail is impeccable. Also, the fenced yard with a dog door is a great bonus for dog owners, and I don’t think I’ve seen it at other Dillon Beach rentals!

Sundog Cottage is a Must Stay!

Absolutely loved the place. Within walking distance to the beach and very close to the Dillon Beach Costal Kitchen restaurant. The cottage was well stocked, very clean and cozy. The beds were fantastic. We highly recommend Sundog Cottage.

Sweet Beach Cottage

My two kids and I had a nice stay at the Sundog Cottage. The lovely cottage was fully stock, had super comfy beds, and was just a short walk to the beach and general store. It's also a perfect place to bring your pet - we brought our dog and he loved laying out in the sun on the deck and in the backyard.
