Great Cottage at the Beach

The hosts of Pineapple cottage were great. They communicated very effectively and met us at the rental to explain the details of our stay. The cottage is a block from lovely Seal Beach. It is decorated in a beach/pineapple theme that totally matches the location. This is a great place to stay.

Step back to another time ...

Once inside this clean and cozy space, it was like we stepped back to another time - the 30s or 40s. I kept hoping to see Benny Goodman, Bing Crosby or maybe Frank Sinatra walk by and say hello. This is a lovely little cottage with its centerpiece fireplace perfect for two visiting a splendid part of California with great food, shopping, and the sea nearby. We can give it our best recommendation and will stay again. Julia and Bob, Manhattan, KS

About the host

Hosted by Elena Osti

Host profile image
Our first sunset when we moved back to Seal Beach.

Why they chose this property

We have always enjoyed Seal Beach and have lived here for many years. After returning from Hawaii, we knew we wanted to live by the water. As luck would have it, our home is one house away from the Pacific Ocean, where we experience cool breezes, and ocean walks. The pleasure of coming home after a hard dayโ€™s work is well worth the ride!
The Osti's

What makes this property unique

Our home is 74 years old and has been completely remodeled with care to keep the charm of the 1940's. "Modern with old vintage character". The Property was the model home in 1941 for the small beach cottages along Ocean Ave & other old town streets here in Seal Beach. We tried hard to keep the unique vibe of the 1940's charm but added a modern feel of today. Once you check-in to the cottage, you are just steps to the Pacific Ocean, the Boardwalk,, Pier and Main Street. The entrance to the Pineapple Cottage is on Seal Way.
