A wonderful weekend get away all around! Starfish Cottage is was the perfect place for the two of us. Elena & Kye are great hosts, we got a personal welcome from Elena and Kye was quick to respond via text as we were enroute. Their printed instructions are clear and easy to follow we felt very much at home. The cottage is so cozy and cute (my wife made me say that) everything we needed or would want was there for us. It's a very short walk to the big, clean and at this time of year uncrowded beach. The cottage has beach ware, chairs, umbrellas and towels to use. It's also a short (for us) four block walk to Main street where you will find shopping and bars/restaurants almost all locally owned and operated HUGE plus in our book. We did not have a car and didn't feel like we needed to go anywhere else for dining/entertainment. Check out is a breeze too, again instructions are simple and not onerous. Just a few tasks that any good guest would do anywhere. We loved our stay in Seal Beach at Starfish Cottage and it's on our "do again" list.

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

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!

The starfish Cottage is close enough to walk to the water, or Main Street and the Peir. The owners are so welcoming and made us feel right at home. Don't worry about hauling chairs and umbrellas for the beach. This place has you covered.
