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.

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! ##### Kathy Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robyn P. 12 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Seal Beach Starfish Cottage We love Seal Beach and you are in the middle of it when staying at this lovely cottage.

The hosts contacted us ahead of time to let us know a neighboring property was in the middle of termite extermination and offered to move us to another unit to get away from the noise. Great customer service. The unit we stayed in was cute, quiet and comfortable. We highly recommend the hosts and property. ##### Arlin B.

The managers were both kind and generous with their time. I asked for a few modifications, and they enthusiastically worked with me. When I met Kei, he personalized my stay, which made it very memorable since it was over the Christmas holidays. The lodging was both comfortable and relaxing. I regretted not booking more days!! ##### Stephan M.

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. ##### Ken W.

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. ##### Kim A.
