There is nothing like an escapade to the beach to let the ocean and its waves wash all of your worries away! This beachfront, coastal-themed home is nothing but the perfect choice if you are looking for that and so much more. This prime location situates you right on the beach with easy beach access from your property - all you have to do is put on your flip-flops and some sunscreen and walk a few yards until you can dig your toes in the sand. You are right in the heart of Seal Beach and within a short walk or drive of great attractions, including the Seal Beach Municipal Pier, Seal Beach, Knepper's Alaska Fishcamp, and Anaheim Landing Historical Landmark.
This coastal beauty is ideal for larger groups or multi-family getaways. The first level of this retreat offers a nice and homey family room with an attached kitchenette. Here is a great spot to unwind and chill with your loved ones and watch TV, and if you ever feel hungry, the well-appointed kitchenette will have your back. It's complete with a mini-fridge, a full-size stove and oven, a dishwasher, a microwave, and an ice maker. From here, you have access to a furnished beachfront deck as well. On this level, you will also find one bedroom and a den-like seating area with an electric fireplace, a desk, and another TV.
Upstairs is where you will find the main living area and all of its beauty. The open floor plan makes it easier for groups to share and create everlasting memories. Watch a favorite movie on the large TV in the living room, gather around the dining table to play any of the board games provided, or head over to the balcony to work on your tan while reading your favorite novel. The kitchen is complete with everything needed to prepare mouth-watering meals and beach snacks. A Keurig coffee maker has been included to please coffee enthusiasts in the group.
This level features two bedrooms and a washer/dryer. The primary bedroom has its own electric fireplace, TV, and an en suite bathroom, which is something out of this world. It's as spacious as a bedroom and boasts a walk-in shower, a soaking tub, two vanities, and a spacious walk-in closet.

Nice Stay
View was nice outside from balcony. Not great from inside. Blinds downstairs didn’t work so it was dark on lower level. TV didn’t work in bedroom. Bathroom (white) rug was dirty.

Great Getaway!
The nautical decor throughout the house enhanced the mood of living on the beach as well as listening to the rhythm of the ocean waves. It was very relaxing to sit on the top deck or second level patio and watch the pelicans, seabirds and people go about their day. It’s a great place to getaway, relax and reconnect with family. The location is perfect as you are in a quiet spot on the boardwalk but within walking distance to the green belt or Old Town where all the tourists and locals hang out.

Great House
We were in town for a memorial so our stay was short. The house was lovely, views were calming and I kept thinking this house would be great to spend a week in.

Incredible Property
This property had all the amenities needed to feel the comforts of being at home. The kitchen was complete with plenty of dishes, pots, pans, flatware, bakeware, most everything you could need. The garage is enormous and so convenient to have on property parking. The neighbors were quiet. The rooftop deck had a natural gas bbq with incredible views. The house is light and airy with plenty of windows, natural light and the nautical theme. The white furniture was lovely, but could be a bit stressful (it was all fine). Full size washer and dryer made was also helpful to our one week stay. There is a television in every bedroom, both family rooms and one in the entry sitting area. The property managers were quick with replies.

Seal Beach Christmas Parade
Amazing from top to bottom! Perfect spot on the sand for me, wife, son, mom, and in-laws. Yes, 3 grandparents and my teen boy joined the wife and I on our 2nd annual weekend attending the Seal Beach Christmas parade. Beautiful, fun house that I will definitely book again.

Beautiful Property
Property was as advertised. A lot of room for a family of five or more. Right on the beach wiht great views. Nice little town nearby with a small main street. Quiet suburban location. The unit is very modern and has all the amenities you need. Was very pleased with the property and would rent again if ever out in LA.

Beautiful home
This beach house in the sand in the south west corner of Seal Beach exceeded all expectations. We rent a lot of vacation homes, and this is one of the nicest we’ve stayed in. The location is perfect. There are ocean views from all levels. The roof top deck has especially great views. The decor is very nice. It was well stocked with everything we needed. I’ve stayed in a number of places with elevators, but this was the first that had it available for renters to use. Seal Beach is a fun little beach community. It’s a 10 minute walk on the boardwalk to the pier and main drag with lots of great shops and restaurants. We were there for a long weekend for a nearby volleyball tournament. We hope to stay here again for the next one.
