Why This Home Stands Out
At Whale Watch, the Pacific is part of the experience from morning to night. Watch for migrating whales in season, take in panoramic ocean views from two decks, or settle into the private hot tub as the sun drops toward the horizon. A separate game room and second family room give larger groups plenty of space to gather, play, and spread out.


Living Spaces
The spacious main living room keeps the Pacific in view with comfortable seating, a large TV, gas fireplace, and direct access to an oceanfront deck.
A second family room gives groups another place to relax, making Whale Watch especially comfortable for multi-generational stays, friends, and couples traveling together.


Kitchen & Dining
The fully equipped kitchen offers generous prep space and breakfast-bar seating for easy vacation meals.
Gather inside for dinner with an ocean view, or fire up the gas BBQ and take the meal outside for a sunset dinner on the deck.


BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Primary Bedroom — King Bed
Private bathroom, ocean views, and direct deck access.

Guest Bedroom — Queen Bed
A comfortable Queen bedroom for additional guests.

Twin Bedroom — 2 Twin Beds
Ocean views and direct deck access make this a fun and flexible sleeping space.

Additional Sleeping — 2 Fold-Out Sofas
Provides additional sleeping flexibility for larger groups.


Bathrooms
Two full bathrooms on mani level and one half bathroom on lower level provide a convenient setup for families and groups.
The Primary Bedroom includes its own private bathroom for added privacy.


Game & Entertainment Space
The game room is ready for a little friendly competition with ping pong, foosball, and darts—all with the Pacific nearby.
It’s a natural headquarters for family tournaments, foggy coastal afternoons, and late-night rematches while giving the rest of the group another space to relax.


Outdoor Living
Two oceanfront decks give Whale Watch a front-row seat to the Pacific.
Start the morning with coffee and salty ocean air, watch for migrating whales in season, or settle into the lounge seating for an afternoon overlooking the water.
Fire up the gas BBQ for dinner outside, catch a spectacular Dillon Beach sunset, then slip into the private hot tub overlooking the Pacific.


GOOD TO KNOW
Dillon Beach is approximately a 15-minute downhill walk from Whale Watch or about a 3-minute drive.
Guests walking to the beach should be comfortable with the uphill return.
The driveway is steep but levels out near the house, and there are stairs from the driveway to the entry level.

Book Whale Watch

The views are magnificent from almost every room upstairs. It was very windy while we were there, so there was little beach time and the views made all the difference. Staff (Stace and Amanda) were great and check in was easy and we were fully aware of the driveway entrance before we arrived, so that was all good. The ambience was great and the beds were comfortable. We had hoped for a better game room - especially because we really couldn’t go to the beach. Game room was in the garage and ping pong was only playable with the garage door closed to avoid balls getting lost down the driveway - which was kind of claustrophobic. Overall, we had a great time and would rent Whale Watch again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were very happy with our stay at Whale Watch. We shared the home with another family, and it was perfectly suited for that setup. The kids especially enjoyed the game room, which included ping pong, air hockey, and darts. The upstairs common space was spacious, bright, and very clean. The rental company also left welcome snacks for us, which was an unexpected and appreciated touch. Overall, this home exceeded our expectations, especially when it came to cleanliness and comfort.
