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!
