Great beach cottage!

Our family loved the Starfish Cottage. The place is so cute with all of the decorations and personal touches. The beds are comfortable and the walking distance to the beach as well as grocery stores (and Urgent Care especially if you have young kids) is especially convenient. We loved our stay and hope to be back. Thanks Kye & Elena!

Family Summer Beach Vacation

Our family vacation at the Starfish Cottage was perfect! This cottage had everything we needed with two outside areas to visit with friends and family, fully equipped kitchen, extra linens to beach chairs and a cooler to use at the beach. Elena and Kye are wonderful hosts and responded quickly when we needed a suggestion on a duffle boat company to use for one of our day adventures. We are looking forward to staying again at the Starfish Cottage!

Seal Beach Gem

Our family is originally from the area and moved out of state in 2016. We came into town as visitors for the first time in 5 years and, knowing the area, we jumped at the chance to stay in Old Town Seal Beach. We loved having stayed at a quintessential beach bungalow that was walkable to Main Street shopping, restaurants and the Beach. The owners, Elena and Kai, have a fabulous little place! We loved the location, the cleanliness, the comfy decor, and the ability to walk to everything! We would definitely stay again, Thank you!

Starfish cottage is our favorite

We have stayed at this cottage 4-5 times and it never disappoints. We stay at a lot of vacation rentals and this is our favorite. The location is perfect for time on the beach or enjoying Seal Beach shopping & restaurants all just a short walk away. The cottage has everything we need from beach toys & towels to every cooking item needed to make a home cooked meal. Kye & Elena are incredible hosts always making sure we have everything we need. I could go in and on. 5 stars all around!

What a beautiful home and so close to the beach. :-)

My daughter and I enjoyed everyday on the beach making Sand Castles. We got the biggest kick out of being able to walk to many places to eat and them come back to our spot on the beach to relax. Thanks for having chairs, towels and beach toys available. We will be back and have started planning for May of 2015. Have a great Holiday Season. PS: We loved the Surfboard shower to rinse the sand off each day.. thanks for having one in the yard.

Great location and service

We visited in July 2024 for a last minute 4 day beach trip. We had a wonderful experience staying at this property. Very well appointed with a variety of kitchen items and tons of linens, pillows and towels. Owners were very receptive and had outstanding communication with us the entire time. Location is about a block and a half from the beach. The property is clean and well-looked after. Keep in mind the washer and dryer are coin operated and not free so bring a roll of quarters for your stay - each load will run you $2. Also, the property does not have A/C which was not a draw back for our stay but something to be aware of. Thanks Kye & Elena for the great stay!!

Elaena, your place was fabulous! The one bedroom house was so private and relaxing that we want to book our one year anniversary with you! Thank you for adding those few extra touches, I appreciate that you had flowers and candy ready upon my request - my wife was ecstatic! We loved the fact that we had our own private house where we could walk to the beach in a few minutes, and we didn't have to drive anywhere because all of the best restaurants are within 5 minutes of walking distance. Thank you for helping my wife and I enjoy our Honeymoon, we look forward to celebrating here again soon!

! IT WAS MAGIC

! Life's a beach - and it's right at the end of the street from this charming one bedroom Starfish Cottage. An all too brief stay in this clean, cozy, comfortable back cottage was everything this grandma hoped & wished for special beach-time family fun & easy care/entertaining - ! including the red wagon filled with sand toys. Elena is a delight to work with - professional, responsive & helpful.

QUALITY FAMILY TIME IN SEAL BEACH!

My friend and I traveled to Seal Beach to spend Labor Day Weekend with my family! My sister and her family live on 16th Street and my parents were staying in the "Starfish Cottage". We rented the Starfish Back Cottage for the holiday weekend. It is an adorable 1 bedroom cottage that I wish I could transfer to New York City! Wow... what Kye and Elena, the property owners have accomplished in decorating and adding all the amenities you could want in this cozy cottage! We had a wonderful relaxing time and can't wait to return again soon! I would highly recommend this darling beach cottage to all of my friends and family. Thank you Kye and Elena for making our family vacation so much fun!
