Great location!! 5 minute walk to beach, shops, dining! Property was perfect size for a couples getaway. Had a Spectrum issue but was resolved quickly by owner and he even brought a bigger TV !! Very cozy setting, nice outdoor sitting area. We stayed in the back cottage and didn’t have any issues with the other guest in front cottage. Shared garage but we didn’t bring a car ( used Uber ) which was great! Highly recommend!!DanielNorth Carolina

Such a beautiful place to visit and the cherry on top is the Starfish Cottage. The atmosphere and comfort of the cottage made our vacation our best trip yet. The beach was just steps away. They have a spot to rinse off and beach towels for comfort. The hosts also have all the lowdown on the hot spots for food, shopping, surfing, and travel. We will be returning.

My wife and I recently spent our anniversary in Seal Beach, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations.The property was immaculately clean—spotless, well-maintained, and incredibly welcoming. It was clear that a lot of care and attention goes into keeping the place in top shape. We felt right at home the moment we walked in.Our host was exceptional—proactive, responsive, and thorough in every communication. From check-in to check-out, they made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It’s rare to find a host who is this thoughtful and on top of every detail.The location was absolutely ideal. Just a short, pleasant walk to the beach, and surrounded by a wide variety of outstanding restaurants and local shops. We loved being able to stroll along Main Street and enjoy the laid-back charm of Seal Beach—whether grabbing coffee in the morning or dinner as the sun set.We had an outstanding time and made some truly special memories. This was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary, and we’re already planning our return trip. Highly, highly recommend!

We love visiting Seal Beach for family and the walkable beach/coffee/food. This was a great spot to stay and the hosts super great with prep and communication throughout. Very cute patio (shared with the larger house but we were the only ones here for the week) and great to be able to park the rental car in the garage off the street. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

We had a great stay.

Nice 4 day visit to Seal Beach. Great little cottage to call home for four days; close to beach, short walk to shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed our Seal Beach mini-vacation.

#### Quiet, private cottage in a great location
We had a wonderful stay in this charming cottage. Host was easy to communicate with and checked to make sure we were happy. It's a block from a very nice beach and a short walk to the heart of Seal Beach's main street. Try Sweet Jill's Bakery, Angelo's Italian Deli for the best sandwiches, and Bruster's ice cream.

#### Awesome Cozy Cottage
We had a wonderfully relaxing stay at the Starfish Cottage. We walked Old Town, rode bikes and had 3 beach days. We were able to make breakfast & lunch at the cottage and then enjoy dinners out. Access to the garage was great. We will return one day!

#### The Star of Seal Beach
The stay was so delightful and peaceful. I loved the place and the area. The accommodations were comfortable and beautifully maintained, making it feel like a home away from home. The surrounding neighborhood was charming and offered plenty of opportunities for relaxing walks and exploring local attractions. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that all our needs were met. I can't wait to return for another stay. Highly recommended!
