"Cannot say enough good things about this rental. I don't love vacation rentals and have been avoiding, but took a chance on this trip and I am SO glad we did. We checked in late evening and had no trouble locating everything. The directions were clear. Fresh, clean, and every single thing we needed was at an arm's reach. We were very comfortable. Walkability to the ferry was perfect. And it goes without saying, Balboa Island at Christmas is MAGICAL! Thank you for the wonderful stay, we hope to...

"We love visiting Seal Beach for family and the walkable beach/coffee/food. This was a great spot to stay and the hosts super great with prep and communication throughout. Very cute patio (shared with the larger house but we were the only ones here for the week) and great to be able to park the rental car in the garage off the street. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!"
