  • If you looking for a great beach rental...the "Pineapple Cottage" is the perfect place. This beach cottage is not only furnished with all the comforts of home, you are 1/2 block from the sand! We stayed for 2 weeks and were very sad to leave and return to the Arizona summer heat. Our daughter and son-in-law are lucky enough to live in the delightful city of Seal Beach, so that made our stay extra special! We can't wait to return to again and stay in the "Pineapple Cottage" A big "Thank You" to Elena, Kye, Liberty & Bombay for making our vacation so enjoyable. Tammy and Merrill Dean Scottsdale, AZ

    Tammy and Merrill: You were the 5th Arizona family to rent the Pineapple Cottage this summer. We enjoyed meeting you and please know our home is always here for you. Cheers, Elena

  • If you're looking for a beautiful cottage within walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops with fabulous hosts, you'll find it at The Pineapple Cottage. We enjoyed sitting at the cottage, discovering all the interesting details that Kye, Elena and Liberty have put in place that make it so wonderful, inside or on the roof top deck, and all around the outside of the cottage, little surprises and details are everywhere. It was great to walk to town to dine and shop and just as nice to come home to the cottage. The kitchen is fully stocked and we made as many meals as we ate out. Sorry to say we didn't get to try the Quesadilla maker, maybe next time. Kye promises it's a favorite! We can't say enough, it was truly fabulous.

    Chris and Judy: Sorry to respond so late to the great comments. Thanks for sharing photos of the wedding and you have one beautiful flower girl. On your next stay we will make you Quesadillas. Enjoy the summer. Elena

  • We could not have asked for a more wonderful week than the past seven days we spent at Pineapple Cottage. Escaping from the cruel winter to the warmth of the beach, morning coffee on our private sun deck, snuggling in front of the fire in the evening with a glass of wine - it was hard to return home. Thank you for thinking of all the little touches to make our stay perfect.... the cottage is smartly arranged for privacy, comfort, and efficiency...from the cotton robes in the closet for lounging to the beautiful dishes in the kitchen, a selection of books to read, and hooks EVERYWHERE! The Pineapple Cottage is just so well thought out! Staying here combined all the comforts of home in the beauty of an exclusive upscale guest house. Clean, beautiful, comfortable, welcoming...... Walking down the beach, it's an easy stroll to downtown for charming restaurants and shopping. The pier is a great place to people watch or just gaze out over the ocean. Elena and Kye (and Liberty) were the perfect hosts- making sure we had everything we needed and allowing us the privacy we cherished. Thank you.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    We are glad you enjoyed the Pineapple Cottage. I'm so glad you had warm weather during your visit to Seal Beach. We look forward to seeing the both of again.

  • Seal Beach is a wonderful town, even in winter, and we enjoyed staying in your cottage very much. What a great place to explore the town and the beach from! Kye and Elena were so helpful and we felt like honored guests. Thank you for creating such a beautiful place. We won't forget our New Year's Eve at the Pineapple Cottage!

    Jill, Jim and Miss Audrey: Thank you for adding a few comments to the VRBO vacation site. You have a wonderful family and we very much enjoyed meeting you all. We were so happy to hear Audery enjoyed Disneyland. Cheers! Elena Osti

  • Relaxing, accomodating, convenient, classy and absolutely phenomenal! Your house has everything imaginable and is kept in very nice condition. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of the beach, tides, restaurants, bike trails, shopping and the list goes on! As a travel nurse on a long assignment, this was the perfect "home away from home". No complaints here...nothing but thanks to Elena, Kye, and Liberty.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Kathi,We are so happy you enjoyed the Pineapple Cottage during your 2 month stay here in Seal Beach. You have an exciting job with all of the travel you do. We would love to have you as a guest again. Happy travels..into 2009........ Elena

  • We had a wonderful stay at Pineapple Cottage. Everything we could need was at hand. We used Pineapple Cottage as home-base for visiting relatives all over Southern California. When we weren't visiting others, we easily walked everywhere we needed to go in Seal Beach - including a full service gorcery store. Kye, Elena and Liberty were very welcoming and made sure we were comforable and happy during our stay. The fireplace in the front room and the welcome package with sweet treats made the few days of rain quite enjoyable. The Cottage is beautifully decorated. Thanks to the Ostis for a pleasant stay.

    Jessica, Scott & Gabriel: We were very happy to share our home and the 2008 Christmas Holiday with your family. Happy and Festive travels into the 2009 Year..... Elena

  • Our visit to the pineapple cottage can be summed up with one word, "amazing." My husband and I went to the Pineapple Cottage for a relaxing weekend away from the hustle and bustle. Being so close to the beach really made everything so perfect. We loved the cleanliness of the cottage and all the space. Seal Beach is the perfect beach town for families or couples. Try out Walt's Wharf for some fish and chips.

  • Gorgeous, really fun place. Kye & Elena were wonderful. Everything was clean & tidy. Very comfortable and the private deck upstairs on the roof was so great to lay in the sun. Ohh and so close to the water we went swimming in the ocean. Well more like paddling but fun anyway. We are looking forward to booking this great cottage again.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Chad & Michelle: I was so excited to meet you both and share stories of the wine Country. You are welcome back anytime... :) Elena. Osti

  • We had a great time at the Pineapple Cottage. After grocery shopping, there’s hardly a need to get in your car again if you want to relax by the beach. It’s hard to find such a clean and nice beach in Southern California as Seal Beach. It was a teat to be able to stroll down the boardwalk to Main Street and enjoy the shops and dining found there. We particularly enjoyed O’Malley’s on Main. They have the best calamari I’ve ever had. Don’t miss the Queen Mary and aquarium in nearby Long Beach – My family really enjoyed the self- paced tour of the Queen Mary. Thanks again! John, Teresa, Tom & Tyler Vitale

    John & Teresa: We are very happy to hear you enjoyed your visit to Seal Beach and the Pineapple Cottage. We are now getting ready for our winter guests as the weather has changed, bringing in the fall season. Have a wonderful remainder of the year. Elena Osti
