Congratulations for stumbling upon these Dillon Beach cottages. While hordes of tourists battle it out for tanning spots on the busy beaches due south, you’ll enjoy a quiet retreat near a mile-long (1.6km) private beach. Cozy sleeping lofts, fully stocked kitchens and small sitting decks will have you falling in love with low-key coastal living. Follow the path down to the beach, stopping at the General Store for coffee, soft serve and supplies for a perfect picnic on the shore.
