King sized living, steps to ocean, now with AC!
Me and my husband stayed here for the first few days of our honeymoon and we both really enjoyed the stay! The place is very cute and just as described. The hosts are very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again if we’re in the area!

Sunset Retreat loft
Enjoyed my stay at Jennifer's apartment. I would stay there again. Super host.

Cute One BR in Rose Park South w/1 Parking Space
Great stay at Maria’s place! It’s a sunny, comfy apartment with ocean breezes. I loved that the bedroom curtains allowed for a dark vibe for sleeping in but also the apartment in general had lots of light and fresh air. Lots to walk to including restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and the beach. And super convenient to a grocery store. Would love to stay here again!
Custom Craftsman With Hot Tub Close to Ocean
This was one of the best AirBnb's I have stayed at. Jan was friendly and left several extra ammenities inside the home. The location was in a safe and walkable location. The outside seating areas were inviting and relaxing. My stay was very enjoyable and I will be returning when I am in the area again.

Classic beachfront home in Seal Beach, CA

#Beachside Rustic Getaway LocationLocationLocation
Loved being 1/2 block from 2nd street and 2 from the beach!!! Lots to do, secure location that felt like home away from home!

ON THE SAND! Beachfront Seal Beach CA 3bd 3ba home
Staying at this spot is extremely peaceful. There is little sound so you can always hear the ocean. It's really nice being directly on the beach. Johnny was an extremely communicative and gracious host. I appreciate his help on every question which came up and helping us out troubleshoot issues during out stay. The unit itself looks like it does in the pictures. It's not a new unit and some of the windows need help opening/closing but for a beach bungalow style getaway with maximum silence, it's a good spot!

Retro Room | walk to pier w/firepit + more
Very clean and welcoming place for our short stay. Everything was exactly as described and ideal, walkable locations to great shopping and dining. Very nice touches in kitchen with water cooler/coffee machine and the freebies in the fridge! What an adorable place!!

Your guide to Seal Beach
All About Seal Beach
Located on the coast about 45 minutes south of Los Angeles, the Orange County town of Seal Beach offers a window into Southern California’s mellower side. The state’s second-longest wooden pier juts out into a stretch of the Pacific Ocean filled with small fishing boats. And although there aren’t as many seals living here as when the town was first established, you may spot a few playing in the water early in the mornings. For guaranteed sightings, you can enjoy the seal emblems, murals, and statues that adorn the city streets.
Surfers and sun-seekers populate the town’s beachfront, and if you’re looking to explore beyond the sand, you can rent a bike and ride along the San Gabriel River Bike Trail or hike through Gum Grove Park near the Los Cerritos Wetlands.
Seal Beach’s colorful Old Town is a tree-lined pedestrian area populated by local businesses. The district hosts bakeries, cafes, ice cream parlors, and restaurants serving fresh fish and chips. Quirky gift stores offer maritime souvenirs, and you’ll find art galleries, antique shops, boutiques in town as well.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Seal Beach
Southern California is famous for year-round sun and pleasantly warm weather, and Seal Beach is no exception. Summer is the most popular season to book Seal Beach vacation rentals as the days are long and sunny, and the town is especially lively with an outdoor concert series from July through August. It’s a good idea to keep plenty of sunscreen on hand during your visit. As water temperature dips slightly in fall, a seal sighting becomes far more likely. The winters are brief, but the temperatures can get quite chilly during the evenings, so it’s best to bring warm layers. Rain is more common from January through March, but spring brings the arrival of new seal pups and the blooming fields of California poppies.
Top things to do in Seal Beach
Seal Beach Municipal Pier
Just minutes from the town center is the Municipal Pier, where you can try to spot dolphins and seals in the ocean waters below. It’s an excellent place to take in the sunset or sunrise, and you’ll find restaurants along Main Street where you can grab a bite or a drink to enjoy. With showers, restrooms, changing areas, and parking lots, this is the most accessible beachfront in town.
Old Town
If you’re looking to grab a bite or a drink, this downtown district hosts bakeries, seafood restaurants, cozy breakfast cafes, and bars, among other offerings. The shaded, tree-lined sidewalks will keep you cool as you pop into local galleries or scour shops for maritime-themed goods. Bonus if you arrive on wheels: parking for both bikes and vehicles is plentiful here.
Beaches
The town has about 1.5 miles of soft sandy shoreline to enjoy — whether that means stretching out with a good book, surfing, swimming, or taking out a boat. You’ll find numerous seashells along the main beach, making this a popular spot at low tide. You can also explore the San Gabriel River’s end at the northern beach, or observe the surfers at Surfside Beach.
