I have seen some very unique vacation rentals here in Southern California, but the one I am about to show you takes the cake. We talk a lot about places that are a *destination in themselves* and this historic Airbnb in Seal Beach, CA, embodies that in every sense.
This famous water tower was originally built in 1892 as a water source for steam engines on the Pacific Railway. Nearly 100 years later, it was converted into a one-of-a-kind house that is now available as an unforgettable vacation rental.
The tower stands at a whopping 87 feet high and is the country’s second tallest single-family home. It also seems that this is the only water tower home in the country.
There are four main floors of the home - aside from a bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room on the ground level. The first level you’ll reach by elevator is the Sunset Deck, where you’ll stash some drinks in the mini-fridge and soak in a private jacuzzi.
Above the Sunset Deck, also accessible by elevator, is the main living space with magnificent views of the beach, panoramic windows that open out, and a large wraparound deck.
The cool kitchen has everything you need to prepare and enjoy coffee, snacks, and meals to enjoy with those unparalleled views.
There are two master suites, each with king-sized beds and en-suite bathrooms, and a third bedroom with bunk beds on the floor above the living area. Including the ground floor queen-sized bedroom, the home sleeps eight guests - perfect for families or groups of friends vacationing together.
You’ll find stunning and unique features throughout the Water Tower House, from the wooden ceilings to beautiful stained glass windows.
The top floor is a true entertainment center with tons of seating, games, four large-screen TVs, a bar, and 360-degree views of the coastline, the city, and the mountains. It’s like having an elite sports bar in your own home!
You won't find another vacation home in Southern California - or anywhere else, for that matter - like this historic Airbnb in Seal Beach, CA!
