Farol, by Vinifera Homes | House in Dillon Beach

Summary:
“The view was jaw-dropping—waves stretching forever, sunsets that stopped us in our tracks. Perfect for our family getaway!” – Cathy
Welcome to Farol, a coastal retreat perched high above Dillon Beach where the ocean seems endless and time slows down. Named after the Portuguese word for lighthouse, Farol is your beacon of calm—a place to gather, reset, and take in views so sweeping they feel almost infinite. Just a few minutes from the sand but a world away from the rush, this home offers front-row seats to whitewater surf, golden sunsets, and the ever-changing moods of the Pacific.
The Space:
Farol sits like a lighthouse on the hilltop, guiding you toward peace, light, and wide-open horizons. Rustic in spirit yet designed for comfort, it’s a house made for connection, whether you’re cooking together in the open kitchen, sharing stories by the fire, or watching the waves roll in from the deck.
With room for up to 12 guests across six serene bedrooms and five full baths, Farol is ideal for large families, groups of friends, or anyone craving inspiration from nature’s grandeur. Nearly every space in the home frames a piece of the coastline, Tomales Bay, Point Reyes, and the endless blue of the Pacific.
Step outside to the expansive deck and breathe in the ocean air. Fire up the BBQ grill, pour a glass of wine, and settle into a front-row seat for sunset. At night, stars stretch across the dark sky while the sound of waves below becomes the soundtrack to your stay.
Inside, warm wood tones and sweeping windows create a sense of calm and wonder. The open living and dining area centers around the ocean view—whether you’re sipping coffee at sunrise or watching the last light fade behind Point Reyes, the horizon always takes the lead.
The chef’s kitchen is built for entertaining, with high-end appliances and a large granite island that invites everyone to gather around. Cook, laugh, and watch the waves from every angle.
Each bedroom offers a quiet retreat, with plush bedding, soft light, and the soothing rhythm of the sea nearby. The bathrooms are spacious and spa-like—two with jetted tubs perfect for unwinding after a day of sand and salt air.
“The views are just as promised on the website description. The place is big and roomy with lots of comfortable beds and a place for everyone to hang out!” - Cheryl
Just over an hour north of San Francisco Bay Area attractions and only a few minutes from the beach, Farol offers easy access to a one-mile stretch of golden sand where you can surf, stroll, or wander among tide pools at low tide. Spend your mornings hiking along the bluffs of Point Reyes National Seashore (about 25 minutes away), your afternoons kayaking or power boating in Tomales Bay (a 15-minute drive), and your evenings watching whales crest the horizon from the deck.
If you’re up for a round of golf, the beautiful Links at Bodega Harbour is just 25 minutes south. And when it’s time to unwind, Sonoma’s world-class wineries are less than an hour away—close enough for a scenic day trip, but far enough to feel completely away from it all.
Farol isn’t just a name, it’s a reflection of what this home represents. Like a lighthouse, it stands above the waves, offering light, perspective, and peace. Whether you’re gathering loved ones for a milestone celebration or simply escaping to breathe and recharge, this is a place that pulls you back again and again.
