We had a great time over 4 days last week. Internet was great to allow for some remote work and the location was fantastic for beach hanging and walking to coffee/dinner. Very relaxing. The unit was very well appointed and I hope we'll be back! ##### Jackie K.

His recommendations from the Surf lesson our daughter took to the restaurants we ate at made this trip one we will never forget! Thank you so much for your kindness and we hope we will be able to return to stay longer next time!! ##### Steph W.

Also a good location for walking to Seal Beach business district. Starfish is best enjoyed by two people, so larger groups should try to get one of the other cottages they offer. ##### Eric D.

My wife and I had an incredible stay at this property from Nov 15-18, 2024. Kye meet us on arrival and talked us through everything while also providing all kinds of tips on local restaurants and activities. He also let us know about the Ride Circuit app where we can call local transportation to take us around Seal Beach for only $2 per person per ride. Very convenient. It was incredibly clean and absolutely silent at night. The gas fireplace was wonderful and cozy in the chilly evenings and mornings. I would definitely recommend this property and we will be coming back again and again for future Seal Beach stays! ##### Bret Z.

To begin the hosts Kye and Elena are exceptional. They communicated with me right away when I booked my stay, and during my stay anytime if I had a question or needed anything they responded quickly. The cottage is perfect for a nice quiet stay at the beach. It has everything you need to feel at home such as wi-fi, TV, kitchen, washer/dryer, parking, comfortable bed. It’s a comfy cozy quiet little getaway that feels like home. Its a very charming and unique little gem. The location is ideal as it’s a close walk to the shops, restaurants, and the beach. This is my 2nd stay at the cottage and I already booked my next visit. Thank you Kye and Elena for making my experience at the Pineapple Cottage a wonderful and delightful experience. ##### Linda G.
