Stayed Jun 13, 2026We enjoyed our stay at the Starfish. The host was friendly and very responsive. The property was clean and well stocked with beach equipment and cookware. We were only a block and a half from the beach, which was great. The detailed checkout instructions provided a little stress as we were leaving, since there’s a surcharge if not followed. The lack of A/C on the property was a little uncomfortable during the day, but nighttime temperatures were fairly cool. The laundry is coin operated, which I wish I’d know before hand.All said, the hosts were great to work with and the property is very cute. Thanks for having us!

Stayed Jun 9, 2026The check in was a breeze- Kye met us to show us the ins and outs of the property. They even had a cute little welcome tray in the fridge (pictured.) They were very reachable during our stay to answer questions and provide recommendations as well (for example, we wanted to rent a youth life vest because of the historic surf levels/rip currents, and he replied quickly with the suggestion of checking M&M. I mentioned we were at the cottage and Mike was more than happy to hook us up!)The house is clean and comfortable. They have thought of everything, truly. We were nervous about the shared back patio but it was great! We spent a lot of time of the front patio watching the locals walk their dogs. We can’t get over how friendly everyone was in the community. You can tell they truly respect the place they call home.The walk to the beach is so short! We walked to the downtown area multiple times a day. We loved trying all the local coffee and restaurants. We also went to the farmers market on Friday morning which was nice. The checkout list/requirement is more than reasonable, as well. When looking through the guest book, there were multiple entries from families who return to this same rental every year and it’s evident why! If we’re ever back in the area, we will rent from Kye and Elena again.

Stayed May 30, 2026Such a great spot to stay! Cute, decorated bungalow perfect for our family. We didn’t even drive our car, just walked to the beach, to coffee, ice cream and food, so the garage was a plus for us. The courtyard and front area are very nice. Host was friendly and knowledgeable. Everything worked and we didn’t have any complaints.

Stayed Apr 13, 2025The pictures did not do this adorable place justice. It was perfect for my family of 4. Kye was very friendly and came to meet us. He gave us the tour of how everything worked and made it fun for our teenagers. I loved that it has two twin beds in the second room giving the teenagers a little more space. The place was so cozy with plenty of space for games and conversation. The area in the front and back was so nice to hangout. It had everything you needed for cook meals, going to the beach, and just feel like it was your home. It is so close to the beach, Main Street, and the grocery store. We walked everywhere. We did not want to leave and can’t wait to go back.

Stayed Feb 14, 2025Starfish Cottage was perfect for me. It gave me a 'home' away from home so my family could visit Grandmom during my six weeks stay. Elena and Kye were the perfect hosts. They were welcoming yet not overbearing; they were always available to take my text or phone call; and they paid attention to detail whether it was taking care of Starfish Cottage, helping me navigate details of the rental process, or getting around Seal Beach.For all of that, I gave them an additional star........ making my rating 6 stars out of 5. Thank you, Elena and Kye!

Stayed Sep 12, 2024I 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.
