Princeville by the Sea is a caring, home-like senior community that focuses on providing personalized and respectful care. The reviews show that many families and residents appreciate the home’s cleanliness, beautiful environment, and warm atmosphere. The small size, with only six residents per home, allows staff to give more attention to each person and develop strong relationships.
Residents enjoy nutritious, home-cooked meals, often made with fresh ingredients, and many appreciate the friendly staff who are attentive, caring, and organized. Families mention feeling confident because the staff is genuinely concerned about both the physical and mental well-being of their loved ones. The community also offers activities like music, games, exercise, and outdoor time, creating a lively yet peaceful environment.
Several reviewers highlight how well the staff adapt to residents’ changing needs, especially those with conditions like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer's. During COVID, the small setting and family-like atmosphere helped residents stay connected and comfortable despite restrictions in larger facilities.
On the negative side, there are no major complaints in the reviews. The only potential concern might be that, as a small community, there are fewer residents and activities than larger facilities, which might not suit everyone. But overall, families and residents agree that Princeville provides a loving, respectful, and high-quality setting for seniors who need care and companionship.

Princeville by the Sea was a wonderful place for my mother. She was there for almost four years, until she passed away at the age of 99. The place is always clean and uncluttered. My family and I always felt welcomed whenever we came to visit. I was especially impressed with the meals. They were always well balanced and made with fresh ingredients and very delicious. The staff members were very caring, friendly and attentive. My family and I highly recommend Princeville by the Sea to anyone who has an elderly relative who would benefit from 24/7 care.
Our family had a wonderful experience when our mother became a resident at Princeville. The caregivers were caring, attentive, and organized. The house was always clean. The meals were healthy and appealing. Our mother loved laughing and chatting with the caregivers and other residents. After her stroke, the caregivers continued to be so helpful and patient. We felt supported and encouraged by the entire staff at all times during the time our mother lived there. I highly recommend Princeville!
During this COVID crisis, we have been grateful that my mom was able to move from a large assisted living community to Princeville by the Sea in Seal Beach. The home is beautiful, warm and family oriented. Mom had Parkinson’s dementia and floundered in her larger community because of the quarantine restrictions. At Princeville, she was able to be a part of a very small, family like community. Her individual needs were noticed and tended to. The caregivers are well-qualified and there was stability and consistency in their schedules. This allowed the four caregivers to know my mom well. She was only there in Seal Beach for 3 months (she passed away in August) but it was by far the best place she could be during her time of decline and Parkinson’s progression. We were able to visit with masks and distancing on the beautiful garden patio in the back yard. We are very grateful for the owners Lee and Myriam. My mom’s needs were challenging, but they never waivered in their commitment to her care. I highly recommend Prineville by the Sea for any of you looking for a loving place to care for your loved ones.
Both of my parents were residents at Princeville By the Sea in Seal Beach (College Park East) — my mom for 2 years and my dad for 3 years. It was so wonderful to have them so close to me, as I live in the same neighborhood. I could visit every day & the other 4 residents became like family. It’s great having only 6 residents, compared with having hundreds at a large facility, and this also allows for the caregivers to truly get to know their residents. I highly recommend Princeville to anyone looking for a safe & loving place for their parent(s).
My mother lived her last two years at Princeville by the Sea. She was so much happier there compared to the other Assisted Living places she stayed. The thing that struck me immediately when I first visited was how clean and beautiful it was, and how it had a very serene and peaceful atmosphere. It really felt like being in someone's well-kept home. The residents were all well-cared for, and I got to know them well over those two years. The best part about it all is the superlative quality of the care my mother received from the caregivers. They were genuinely concerned about each resident's welfare, both physical and mental. During my many visits, I really got to spend a lot of time with them and I now consider them part of MY family. If you are looking for a place for your loved one, you cannot go wrong by choosing Princeville by the Sea.
