Why the Owner Chose Seal Beach
We have always enjoyed Seal Beach and lived here many years ago. After moving back from Hawaii we knew we wanted and needed to live by the water. Our house is one home to the Pacific Ocean and the oppertunities with the cool breezes, ocean walks ect. were well worth the move to live here again. The ability to come home after working all day and walk or ride a bike to the grocery store, movies, pier and many restaurants is a treat worth experiencing.. Ejoy life. The Osti's

my husband and i looked at many vacation rentals in seal beach before choosing the "pineapple". our three prerequisites were cleanliness,comfort and coziness. the cottage delivered on all three superbly but i must say what really made our month's stay was the owners hospitality and attention to detail. we are looking forward to our next visit.

Our stay at the Pineapple Cottage was simply put AMAZING. We were only a short walk from the beach making it convenient to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The cottage is decorated with personal touches that add such charm and truly made us feel like it was our home away from home! The photos on the website accurately showcase the cottage. We highly recommend this beach cottage, we can't wait until our next trip... Our many thanks to Elena, Kye and Liberty for making our stay memorable.
Owner response:Anthony & April: We are so glad you had a relaxing trip. I try hard, to make our guests start and end of a vacation enjoyable with the Pineapple Cottage. Please come visit anytime and congratulations on the new addition to your family. Cheers, Elena

This was our second stay at the beautiful Pineapple Cottage - and like before - a good time was had by all! The accommodations are perfect for anyone who wants to get away, unwind, or relax. It was the perfect location for our all girls stay, and we especially want to thank Kye for putting up with our late night karaoke singing! Most of our days were spent lounging up on the Pineapple Deck, or walking down to nearby Main Street, and we especially enjoyed our daily walks to the ocean to watch the sun set. Cheers to Elena and Kye for making us feel right at home. We look forward to seeing you again next year!
Owner response:Hello! Irene & Ann: We are so glad you enjoyed your 2nd stay at the Pineapple Cottage. Your timing was perfect for the beach weather. Thank you for the wonderful 5 star review. I am sorry! I missed out on the Karaoke, I hear it sounded great. Cheers Elena PS: I have your 2012 dates booked on VRBO & the staff looks forward to meeting you all again. Take care

Review Submitted: 09/05/11
What a fantastic find this was. Well worth the many hours I spent looking for somewhere suitable for my family to stay, in a town I had last visited over twenty years ago. Pineapple Cottage was perfect. It is everything it says it is and more. The owners love this property and are extremely proud of it and this certainly shows. The decor was tasteful and relaxing and it felt very homely. As it was only a stone's throw from the town with it's various eateries we walked in most evenings and chose a different restaurant to dine in. A lovely safe, friendly and very clean community.
Owner response:Debbie: We enjoyed your family visit and thank you for your very charming review. Ps: Hope to hear your family are all well and healthy throughout the new year. Cheers, Elena

My review of Pineapple Cottage
Guest: Dean & Vivian

Date of Stay: 07/09/11
Review Submitted: 07/19/11
Not often do I give reviews of VRBO, But, in this instance I must rave about the quaintness and very well done Pineapple Cottage. Owners (Elena & Kye) are on site so you're not dealing with a real estate office. Now let's review the location which is just great; one short block to the sand & beach, about 1/4 mile walk to the pier and center of town. The actual Cottage is so cleverly done in pineapple decor (what else); new flat screen TV's and (at last) a Wi Fi system that works. Rooms are small - one would never believe that the cottage was once a garage - unreal. It has a fireplace, small living room, adequate size bathroom/shower, comfortable bed and small functional kitchen. BUT, the topper to all this is the deck on top of the unit - we just lived up there, catching up on our reading and lying in the sun. The town of Seal Beach has an Irish history, many Irish restaurants/cocktail lounges. Restaurants are of personal choice, we found that the "Crema" was just excellent for breakfast/lunch. Also, my wife had an excellent meal at the "Kinda Lahania", I ordered deep fried scallops, my mistake, and so I ate much of my wife's meal. Not to forget "Bogart's", our favorite coffee shop. The local people are so friendly there, they love to talk about how they have cleaned up the image and apperance of Seal Beach which they really have!!!! Once again, considering the price, convenience and people you're dealing with, Pineapple Cottage is a bargain.
Owner response:Hello- We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at the Pineaple Cottage in Seal Beach. One reason we purchased the cottage 10 years ago, was because of the excellent craftsmanship that was done to the entire house exspecially in the Pineapple Cottage. The Cottage used to be a studio, with no Garage and in the 70's it was remodeled making it larger (one-bed/bath cottage) We had the fun of making it modern. We are happy you enjoyed your stay and it was good seeing you at the Pier for music night. Cheers, Elena PS: Hope to see you agian next year when you need to escape the Summer heat of Palm Springs

Elana and Kai are very generous and helpful. The cottage itself is charmingly furnished and has everything you will need for a beach vacation. It includes an enclosed deck above that is private and a perfect place for the sun, especially on a windy afternoon. Very close to the beach and handy to the pier and Main Street. We always look forward to our next stay at the Pineapple Cottage. Jon and Bronwen Auckland, New Zealand

This is our second time around for the Pineapple Cottage. Feels like home but way better! As usual, the ambiance is perfect...clean, comfortable and enough whimsey and well appointed details to feel special. The cottage impresses even those with discriminating taste as it is classic yet unique. It is the ideal escape from the daily grind. Our stay was brief, but refreshing in every way. This place is the perfect location for quiet and privacy, yet a short walk to the pier and Main Street shops and restaurants. The beach itself is literally steps away. Just park the car, leave it, and enjoy! Our hosts are wonderful, too. Life is sooo good at the Pineapple Cottage. We will be back again and again. :-)
Owner response:It was great too see you and your family again.. Have a wonderful summer.

My wife and I stayed Easter weekend to explore the area for future stays in the summer ( Az gets hot and Kathleen NEEDS ocean vacations). Though we arrived late due to car trouble Kye and Elena greeted us and we felt comfortable. The cottage was cute and while a bit small had everything. The upstairs deck was perfect although during our stay a bit windy and cool. ( the umbrella blew over and the B_B_Q had a tough time in the wind). We loved the location. Seal Beach was very comfortable and friendly and Main street was walking distance for most people. All in all we felt at home and Kye was very helpfull- thanks for the Plumaria cuttings! You will enjoy the surroundings and the plantings were great. We recommend this place and hope to return soon. Stan and Kathleen ( Scottsdale)
Owner response:Thanks for your reply-- we enjoyed your vist and your knowledge of all of the plants we have at the Cottage. Take care. Elena nd Kye
