The property was across the street from the beach entrance and about 4 blocks to the main drag. The owner was super nice and met us at the property when we checked in. That really helped since everyone’s TV is different! I would definitely stay there again.

We had a great time in Seal Beach & the Starfish Cottage was the perfect place to stay! Kye & Elena were very communicative, the place was neat and tidy & within walking distance to everything- the beach, local shops, & great local restaurants with delicious meals! Visited Avila's for Taco Tuesday after Kye's recommendation & it did not disappoint! Highly recommend both Seal Beach & Starfish Cottage!

We absolutely loved our stay at Starfish Cottage! The home was immaculate, with a super clean interior and patio, beautiful decor, and so many thoughtful little details and hidden treasures to discover throughout the property. You can tell the owners put so much love and care into making this place special.From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was incredible. We were welcomed with chocolate wafers and drinks, and the owner even met us for our late check-in to make sure we found everything okay and helped carry our things to the cottage! They went over local restaurants, provided coupons, and kept us informed about street cleaning so we could avoid any parking tickets. The communication and personal touches were above and beyond anything I’ve experienced at a vacation rental.The outdoor shower was wonderful after a day at the beach, and the location couldn’t be better! It’s a short walk to Seal Beach. It’s also an easy walk to restaurants and the pier, with fantastic corndogs and chili cheese fries just across from the pier. Disneyland is only about 25 minutes away, too. The neighborhood itself is quaint and charming, filled with adorable homes and beautiful gardens.What really sets Starfish Cottage apart is how genuinely invested the owners are in making sure their guests have a relaxing, enjoyable, and personalized experience. I’ve never experienced this level of service from a vacation rental owner, and it made our experience amazing!

Kye was at the cottage to greet us upon our arrival and was extremely helpful indoctrinating us to its amenities as well as those of businesses and activities nearby.While we were only a short 15 miles from our home, we truly felt we had gotten away to a fabulous vacation spot. The neighbors we met on our morning and afternoon walks were extremely friendly and the beach living atmosphere was in full splendor.We fully intend to make return trips back to the Starfish Cottage in the future.Thank you for a wonderful experience!
