Perfect cottage at the Beach
Lovely cottage at the beach, our short stay was made easy with beach toys available for our two and half yr grandchild, all amenities close by. Our host was easy to contact and helpful. Would love to spend longer there next time:)

Cottage on the beach
Beautifully designed and cared for 2 BR walking distance to beach. 2 adults and 2 teens comfortably fit in and all enjoyed the entire stay. Equipped better than any VRBO we have stayed in. Anyone should enjoy this beautiful beach cottage.

Best cottage ever!
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!

Perfect!
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!

Fantastic stay!
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!

Perfect location and patio!
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.

The Seale Shack is fantastic! Perfect location and so charming!
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!

Happy Little House
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.

Perfect Beach Cottage
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.

Fantastic beach house - with everything you need to have fun!
I would rate this a 6 if I could. Great house, comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, everything you need indoor and out. The garage has everything you need for the beach plus bikes, roller skates, skateboards, etc! We will be back as soon as we can plan another trip!

Perfect Beach Getaway
Our family recently stayed for a weekend at this wonderful beach house. Everything was just perfect. The home was exactly as described in the listing and photos. The check in process was very easy and the house was very clean and well appointed. We really appreciated all of the beach items available to use in the garage. The house is situated just steps from the beach and near restaurants etc. , but is very quiet at night. We look forward to returning!

EXCELLENT! BEST PLACE IN MISSION BEACH!
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!!!!!

Sweet House!
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! :)

Can't wait to return!
This spot a few houses from the boardwalk/ocean is outstanding! The home is spotless and equipped with everything you can think of (and even the stuff you don't). The beds are comfortable, the blankets are soft, and the front patio is the best place to people watch. There is a lovely bakery and restaurants within walking distance. We took full advantage of the bikes in the garage. Even with imperfect weather we had an amazing trip. Everything is 15-20 min away, great location! We will definitely be back, thank you, Linda!!
