  Bali Bungalow offers a charming glimpse of coastal living. It is situated in the heart of Seal Beach, one block from the ocean and three blocks from Main Street. It is within walking distance of sparkling Alamitos Bay,the Pacific Ocean, San Gabriel Mountains, and river which make it an ideal location. The place is bright and airy, overlooking a small courtyard with flowers and bubbling fountain. The decor celebrates leisure living, with ocean colors and lush gardens outside. The sunset views are spectacular! Bev made every effort to ensure a wonderful stay . She left a complimentary bottle of wine and a box of candy from a local company. She was always prompt with her weekly delivery of fresh linens and even came by with bouquets of flowers from her gorgeous garden. I really enjoyed having Netflix and Pandora streaming through the 42-inch television—it was a great way to relax after a day at the beach. The neighborhood includes a variety of architectural styles. The residents are friendly and welcoming. It is a treat to walk along Main Street and visit restaurants and shops. Bali Bungalow is a home away from home, a place to return to year after year.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Thank you so much Karen for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Your comfort is always our top priority. So pleased that you enjoyed all our little gem of a town has to offer. Hope to see you again soon.

  What a wonderful get-away awaits at Bali Bungalow. This charming home-away-from home is perfectly located. A short walk to the beach, and equally short walk to the wonders of Main Street. Bali provides all amenities, is beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. There's also a parking spot, although so much is available withing walking distance. We highly recommend Bali for all your vacation needs in beautiful Seal Beach, California. We loved our stay and plan another month this winter.

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Really looking forward to your return. What a special way to spend the holidays close to your family and in the California sunshine! Visiting for a full month is a smart way to escape a cold winter and is such a great value. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience.

  Wonderful, clean bungalow close to the Beach and Main street. Recovering from major surgery and needed a quiet, restful place. Bev is a great hostess and made our stay as relaxing as possible. The local area has some fabulous eats and is just a 2 minute walk away. A definite recommendation!

  Owner response: So pleased that you enjoyed the serenity you sought for your recovery! The comfort of our guests is always top priority. Thank you for such a definitive recommendation. Hope to see you again.

  Bali Bungalow exceeded our expectations. The bungalow is exactly as it appears in the pictures-stylish, cozy and very clean and neat. Bev has thought of everything, from coffee and sweeteners to fluffy beach towels and a cooler to make your beach trip easy. We are a family of 4 and it was perfect for us and our 2 small children. The location is perfect, just across the street from the beach and a short walk to downtown and all the restaurants and shops. Bev is so welcoming and allowed us to use her garden for picnics and play time.I can't say enough good things about Bali Bungalow. Thanks Bev!!

  Owner response: It was such a joy to see your family enjoying time together at the beach and in the garden. Hope the rest of your summer is just as fabulous! Thanks so much for the great review.

  Bev, thanks for making our second visit to the Bali just as enjoyable as a year ago - the new bath room was awesome and thanks for the new ironing board - you always take care of the smallest details. Hope to be back next March

  Owner response: Your choice to return along with the great review is the ultimate compliment. So happy that you love the new bathroom and the latest improvements. What a treat to meet your family! Look forward to seeing you next year... if not sooner.

  This beach bungalow is so perfectly located -- away from the Southern California hustle & bustle -- that we used less than half a tank of gas during our one-week stay! We were blessed with unseasonably warm January weather and enjoyed walking to restaurants, coffee shops, the pier and the beach -- just a few steps from our door. Bev was a warm and welcoming hostess before and during our visit, and her property is spotless, cozy, and comfortable. She provided everything we needed for a pleasant stay, including a large bowl of fresh fruit. The convenient, central location made it easy to drive to area attractions, but our favorite part of this visit was exploring the clean, safe, and friendly community surrounding our "home" for the week. We intend to return for a longer visit!

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Your timing was perfect. The weather and sunsets were really spectacular ! Thanks so much for the excellent review. You were a pleasure to meet and to host. I hope you can return in spring or summer when the garden is in full bloom.

  We were immediately impressed with the upbeat energy of this cozy cottege. Perhaps inspired by the Architectural Digest magazines available to guests, Beverly has used a palate of beautiful ocean blues and greens, perfect for a summer cottege and has added a level of sophistication by introducing a Balinise design theme. Accross the street from the beach, we enjoyed cool ocean breezes every afternoon during the week we visited. A fragrant, flower-lined three block stroll took us to historic Main Street, the heart of Seal Beach, where a variety of restaurants and shops are convenient and fun to explore. Beverly is friendly and available, yet we never felt our privacy was being invaded. A good kitchen, comfy beds, ocean air and streaming Netflix and music on a huge flat screen TV makes this a great vacation destination. We'll be back!

  What an awesome spot! Loved this beautiful, clean, cozy bungalow. The location to the beach and town was perfect. We walked most everywhere - what a great little town. Fabulous way to escape the HOT Arizona summer. So much better than a hotel. Definitly can't wait to get back to the bungalow!

  Bev, I really enjoyed my stay here at Bali. What a wonderful seaside town. It was great to be so close to the beach. Your bungalow was private and cozy, but just a 3 minute walk to to shopping, dining, and the pier. Would love to come back sometime. Bridget My. Pleasant, MI.

  We had an excellent, relaxing stay at the Bali Bungalow. It's just steps from the beach and a short walk to all the great fun to be had on Main Street. We highly recommend the Bali Bungalow and will visit again.

  In my profession I travel frequently to the west coast. When possible, I prefer to stay in a home rather than a hotel. I saw the Bali Grand Opening listed on VRBO and was intrigued, so I contacted the owner. I found the owner to be most accommodating; with excellent business practices and the ease of the rental process was appreciated! I escaped the cold for two weeks in February and found a warm and lovely retreat at the Bali. I was impressed with the easy access to the freeway and the number of great restaurants within walking distance. My stay was quiet and comfy – it was truly a work vacation, hope I pass this way again . . .

  My wife and I recently stayed here and couldn't have been more satisfied! Seal Beach is the areas best kept secret. This location was perfect for all of our activities, walking to the beach, pier and lively Main St. The unit itself was more roomy than we had expected and the furnishings and decor take you to another place and time. It's quite romantic. We found it to be quiet and exceptionally clean, which is always a big concern for us with vacation properties. Everything from the crisp sheets to the furnishings appear to be brand new. We Loved the big Plasma HDTV with free streaming Netflix and WiFi. It was the perfect refuge after a long day sightseeing or at the beach. We WILL be back!
