had a nice stay, the owners were very attentive to our requests for use of their beach ammenities. the location was good only about 200 ft from the beach...weather was a little cold, but not the fault of the owners. loft was clean and functional there were 5 in our party and sleeping was fine. we had a great time. Disney was only about 20 minutes away so it made it easy to rotate from days at the beach and days at disney.

I know Seal Beach well so I was happy to see that we'd be staying in the far south end of Old Town. This is the quieter area. It may be a bit more of a walk to Main Street, but it's worth it. This is the cleanest, most well appointment rental I've stayed in. It is beautifully decorated and the kitchen has everything you need to cook a full meal. The parking is a bit tricky but who needs to park more than once when staying in Seal Beach! It's only a one bed/one bathroom but you could easily sleep 4 people comfortably and more if you need to. I'll certainly be back again.

Great Family Beach Vacation

The Bamboo Loft was a great place to stay for a family vacation. We have four very active children, and the accomadations were perfect. The location is perfect also, steps from the beach and a short walk to Main Street, where there are numerous restaurants, shops, and good coffee. Don and Carol were outstanding hosts. The kids (and myself) really enjoyed using the boogie boards. The tomatoes from there vegetable garden were delicious. Also, our kids loved their dogs. The bamboo Loft is a great place that we would recommend to anyone.

Don and Carol are terrific hosts, providing helpful information and fresh vegetables from their garden! They provide a beautifully furnished apartment that accomodated my family in perfect comfort. Location was great, a short and enjoyable walk to Main Street and steps from the beach. Very tranquil in the evening as well. Just the sound of the ocean breeze every night to fall asleep to! I highly recommend the Bamboo Loft for a great time at the beach.

The Bamboo Loft was the perfect place when I decided to return to the beach where I grew up. It was a quiet retreat that allowed my daughters and I to reconnect and enjoy some down time. We enjoyed being so close to the beach and within walking distance to shopping, restaurants and entertainment. The Bamboo Loft was exactly as it was described, although larger than the pictures depicted. There was plenty of room for the four of us. Don and Carol really make you feel compfortable and are available to answer any questions that you may have. Thanks for everything. I will definatley be back soon.

Owner response:Thank you for your kind review. If you plan on returning to your hometown again be sure and let us know early so we can guarantee your preferred dates. We are glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay.

Great place to say with a family!

We really enjoyed staying at the Bamboo Loft. There was plenty of room for our family of four. Day bed and pull-out couch in the living room worked great for our teenage son & daughter. Don provided great recommendations for restaurants and groceries. Quick, safe walk from the loft to the beach and downtown. It's located in a quieter part of the LA area, but still easy access to the freeway.

Owner response:Thank you for the great review. Also, thank you for mentioning the freeway access. It's rare that you can have both the beach and easy freeway access especially when you combine that with our small town atmosphere.

Just what we needed!

Don & Carol were wonderful hosts! We were just a very short walk from the beach and minutes from disneyland. Easy access to stores, freeways. We were 2 adults and three teens and we fit comfortably in the loft. Lots of comfortable seating and the kids had a blast on the body boards. Not sure what to do when you're down there or where to eat? Ask Don and Carol! A++++

Owner response:Carleen: Thank you for the wonderful review. In 1962 I also lived in Washington State. One weekend I visited Southern California and never left. Come and visit us again, you might consider staying longer. Don

We loved our stay at the bamboo loft recently ! It was everything the listing described and more. The place was very comfortable, spacious, clean and well supplied. There is lots of cupboards, storage space for suitcases and very comfortable for sleeping. It was a perfect location ! A few steps from the ocean and downtown seal beach for shopping. Close also to take in the sights: minutes from Disneyland, Newport Beach, and Lugana beach. I would highly recommend this ! It was a great place to come back to after days of seeing relatives and sightseeing. very quiet and relaxing ! Thanks Don and Carol ! We want to come back again in the future .

Owner response:Jan: Thank you for your gracious and thoughtful review; our 22nd straight "5-Star" review. We so enjoy meeting such wonderful families such as yours. Be sure and check back with us early when you are ready to return so we can lock in your desired dates. Don and Carol

Another visit to the Bamboo Loft and another visit I didn't want to end! Seal Beach is an awesome place to spend a month and being able to stay at a place that feels like home like the Bamboo Loft makes it just that much better. Don and Carol are great hosts and have done a wonderful job creating a very relaxing home away from home. Highly recommended!

Owner response:Seeing you two every year makes for sort of a family reunion. Stay warm in Indianapolis until we see you again. Don and Carol

Birthday visit

Our stay at the Bamboo Loft was quite relaxing, nice quiet neighborhood, some weekend warriors working in their garages on Sunday, a little noisy, but not overwhelming. I think staying during the week would be more quiet. 1/2 block to the beach, minutes walk downtown, room to store bikes. The apartment was roomy with plenty of ambient light. The bed was comfortable, we slept well both nites.
