Before we even left home we were impressed with this rental. Lois promptly sent us thorough information, helpful hint and good directions. The property and setting turned out to be even nicer than the lovely photos. We enjoyed driving through the dense forest each time we returned to the cottage. It is quite spectacular when one emerges into the opening where the cottage and main house are located. The cottage is in a sweet residential area, but on a large private tract of land. It is convenient to the marvelous Sunny Mayne bakery and a serviceable grocery store...not that anything is far away on the island. Seal Beach Cottage has one of the best equipped kitchens of any airbnb rental we've stayed at. We actually cook so appreciate having the tools to do so. Thanks Lois!
