This was our second time staying here and I can't think of one thing that we would change. The decor, the area, proximity to the beach. Mattresses and couch are super comfy, everything is well stocked. It's fabulous and we will definitely be back!

My husband, mother in law, two children (3yr & 6yr), and myself traveled from Dallas to stay here. We had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay. We always felt safe and would stay here again.

We absolutely loved staying here! It was the best location — close to the beach, close to lots of restaurants, across the street from a coffee shop… everything! We would definitely stay here again and I would recommend this place to anyone!

House is so cute and can’t beat the location. Linda is the best host and so easy to work with. They are locals so they were always around if we needed anything. Garage is packed with beach gear and bikes and having a place to park is priceless in that area. Highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful stay at the Seale Shack. It met the needs of our family perfectly (we traveled with our 2 year old and 6 year old). Our favorite thing by far is the proximity to the beach, and all of the beach accoutrement that was supplied - towels, chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys. The property was very comfortable, and it was really nice to not have any stairs (everywhere else we've stayed in Mission Beach is a multi story building). All in all a really great stay!

We absolutely loved our time at the Seale Shack! The house is adorable inside and out. So clean and stocked full of everything you could possibly need. Our family loved using the beach cruisers and all the water toys. This was the perfect spot for our family and we all can’t wait to come back!

This beach house is fantastic! It was clean, cute and comfortable. The garage was very well stocked with beach stuff. We really enjoyed our stay. The front patio is the perfect place to sit and relax and people watch. Must get cinnamon rolls from Olive! Perfect location just a few steps to the beach and easy walk to PB. Only suggestion would be to have a couch and gas fire pit on patio. We spent a lot of time hanging out there! Overall a great stay and we would stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is in a great location to the beach and a dangerous location to a very tasty bakery across the street. The house was small and cozy, which kept us all interacting as opposed to everyone going off on their own. Walking distance to everything and Instacart, for everything else! Comfortable, clean, happy.

Seale Shack is a perfect beach getaway for a family. Close proximity to beach, tons of water sports gear and close to so many San Diego attractions. Our family had a wonderful time. We loved hanging out on the porch, taking walks along the beach, Olive’s bakery, surfing, and so much more. Could not have asked for a better spot. Linda is fantastic as an owner and was very prompt with any questions that arose.

My family and I (including our 11 and 13 year old daughters) have been coming every summer for the past 5 or 6 years to Mission Beach for a week and have stayed in a different home every time. This home is by far our favorite place thus far! Linda has made this cottage very cozy and has thought of all of the little details that her guests would need. Her garage is filled with beach toys, plenty of bikes, boogie boards, umbrellas and chairs (the list goes on!). Her kitchen is the most well stocked kitchen I’ve ever had in a rental. She was also fantastic with communicating before and during our entire stay. The location is great (steps away from the beach) and we absolutely loved eating all of our meals and just relaxing on the front patio. We would absolutely love to come back and stay at the Seale Shack again!

We stayed here for 5 days in July, and it was cute, and classy! We liked how close it was to the beach, bay, shops, restaurants, and the Olive Baking Co/bakery across the street. This charming beach house is clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need, plus more! It was awesome to have bikes available for our family to use, plus other water sport items. Thank you Seale family for sharing your sweet place! :)

10/10

We typically stay in Mission Beach a couple times each year and have stayed at many different places. This is by far the cleanest and most convenient place we have stayed! Everything about this cottage was perfect! Linda, the owner, is very communicative and obviously takes great pride in making sure that everything is in order for her guests. Everything was right on site for us to use: beach gear, bikes, toiletries, towels. We have yet to stay at the same place in Mission Beach twice, but that's about to change! Can't say enough good things about this cottage! Stay here if you can!!!!!

Our family had a great time staying at the Seale Shack! The house is in a perfect location, just steps to the beach, and comes fully stocked with everything needed for a wonderful beach vacation. The house was very well kept, very clean, and in great condition. Linda was an awesome host and responded quickly to any messages. It was very obvious that Linda takes pride in this home and wants her guests to feel welcome and have a wonderful time. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend the Seale Shack to anyone looking for a great place to stay. Thanks, Linda!
