Horseback riding 20 minutes away Point Reyes Lighthouse and National park THINGS TO KNOW: HEATING: This lovely home has a unique heating system. A passive heating system using thermal/solar panels heats the home quite well throughout the day and well into the night - in fact, it can get pretty toasty on a sunny day, but opening window vents and doors to let in the ocean breeze cools the house nicely if it gets too warm. There's a wood stove in the living room which is the main heat source in the winter. The upstairs bedroom also has a baseboard heater, and the downstairs uses space heaters. - Wood Stove Directions: Please be sure to bring wood and kindling with you as we do not provide it. We will provide fire starters which you can light with the long lighter. Wood can be purchased close by at the Dillon Beach General Store or the Tomales General Store, but we recommend purchasing on your way to Dillon Beach. - 6 Person Max Occupancy - Day or Night - NO PARTIES - We are in a Private Community with an HOA/Security - NO Large Gatherings - 3 Car Maximum in Driveway - No On Street Parking - Dog Friendly! 2 Dog Maximum - $90 Dog Fee per Pup - Dogs must be leashed when outdoors - Dogs may not be left alone in the home unless QUIETLY crated. - One Guest Parking Pass provided for easier beach access - Not to be used for general On Street Parking.
