We donโt have enough good things to say. The location was perfect. It was easy to walk to Main Street. Stores were close. Make sure you go to The Beach House for brunch. It was just steps to the ocean. Checkin/checkout were flawless. It was really nice to have a dedicated parking spot. Elena and Kye are excellent hosts and make sure you feel welcome. Highly recommend and weโll visit again.

Annual baseball trip
Staying at the pineapple cottage was an absolute wonderful experience! The owners of the cottage were always accessible and communication was superb! Starting from a few days out, they communicated with us on how to easily check in and procedures for our stay. Super friendly and hospitable! The cottage itself was perfect for our small family. We were only there for a few days for my sonโs baseball tournament But we wanted to enjoy the surrounding area since I grew up there. The cottage is literally 20 feet from the sand. You can jump on the boardwalk and walk up to Main Street in less than 10 minutes. Main Street has all of the things that youโll need, great restaurants, great shopping! Disneyland is a short 20 minute drive, Queen Mary is about 20 minutes away, several other options available. Huntington Beach and Sunset Beach are all a less than 20 minute drive as well! Will definitely be looking to stay here again when we come back next year! Thank you so much for such a charming and quaint place for our trip!

In a word, wonderful!
The cottage was charming and comfortable, and a half block to the sand. In the evenings, a huge and cozy fireplace filled the living room with warmth and ambience. We would have loved to have stayed there for two months but had to suffice with two weeks. A great home away from home, and the hosts were incredible!

Step back to another time ...
Once inside this clean and cozy space, it was like we stepped back to another time - the 30s or 40s. I kept hoping to see Benny Goodman, Bing Crosby or maybe Frank Sinatra walk by and say hello. This is a lovely little cottage with its centerpiece fireplace perfect for two visiting a splendid part of California with great food, shopping, and the sea nearby. We can give it our best recommendation and will stay again. Julia and Bob, Manhattan, KS

Great Cottage at the Beach
The hosts of Pineapple cottage were great. They communicated very effectively and met us at the rental to explain the details of our stay. The cottage is a block from lovely Seal Beach. It is decorated in a beach/pineapple theme that totally matches the location. This is a great place to stay.

Nicest VRBO
This home was clean, neatly decorated and well appointed. This has been one of the best VRBO experiences we have had. The owner lived at this property and you can tell it is loved. Hard to find VRBOs that arenโt just purchased and turned directly into a VRBO and never lived in by the owners-thereโs a difference. Elena met us for check in. She is very nice, easy to reach and knowledgeable about the community she clearly loves. We will be back!
