Perfect.
I had back house,The Starfish Cottage, and my girlfriend had front house,The Starfish Bungalow. It was a perfect way to spend time together but also have our own retreats. She could have her guests visit and I could have mine with plenty of space because of having use of both patios. It really was ideal. Hosts keep both places spotless and are very attentive to any needs.

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!!

Seal Beach Gem!
The pictures are accurate as cottage was immaculate, stocked with everything we needed and beautifully decorated. We loved hanging out on the front porch and the back patio! It is a block from the ocean and a few blocks from restaurants and shopping. Hosts were very helpful. We will definitely be back!

Loved the Starfish Bungalow!
Our family stayed at the Starfish Bungalow in Seal Beach and loved the starfish theme and bright orange Dutch door. So fun! The decor is cute and our toddler was kept busy looking for shells which were placed around the property. The fenced yard provides a safe place for little ones to play. Kye and Elena were great hosts and a wealth of information about places to go/eat in Seal Beach. We felt at home during our stay. Until next time!

Great stay
The Starfish Bungalow was convenient to the beach and Main Street (Crema was SO good). Owners were very friendly and quick to respond. If it was any warmer it would have been very uncomfortable without AC but we did okay. Comfortable beds and sheets and well equipped kitchen. Appreciated the wagon and beach towels and umbrella. We would return if in the area again. Thank you!

Thank you for hosting us 5 gals for a 3-day stay for Jaxon’s, the Ninja warriors funeral. Though it was a sad time, we so enjoyed your hospitality and the cutest cottage in Seal Beach. Kye, you are the best, greeting us and sharing the ins and outs of your cottage and the Seal Beach area. You gave us a few chuckles w your personality. You may not have seen the last of us!

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!

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!
