About this property

History, Views, Charm and Perfect Location!

  • Located in the original 1913 Seward town site. Charming and quaint, it has everything you want from a Alaska summer vacation rental.

    After a full day of sightseeing, touring, fishing, hiking and shopping, you can relax in our comfortable and fully appointed home-like setting.

    Conveniently located in downtown Seward, you are steps away from why you came to our historic and exciting town.

    Views from Upstairs loft and from your dining room. Step out our front door for a breathtaking view literally a few steps From Resurrection Bay, walk to the Sea life center for an afternoon of discovery, or visit Brown and Hawkins for home made Gelato and fabulous fudge.

    If you like to walk, follow the waterfront towards the Marina or stroll towards Lowell Point for an afternoon of Kayaking or a try at Catching a King or Silver Salmon at the nearby Waterfall.

    For those who like to get the kids out of the house and relax, send them to the local library, the skate park or to skip rocks at the waterfront all within walking distance.

    If you prefer to read and relax, sit on the back deck or settle into a comfortable chair and enjoy a book. Games and videos available for the kids.

    For Dinner, invite friends and cook dinner on our back deck BBQ or in the fully appointed kitchen. We have what you need from pots, pans, to plates and utensils.

    Fresh linens await you upon arrival and there is no cleanup required when you leave-Just no dirty dishes, please.

    We hope you enjoy our home away from home, it is a paradise retreat we are proud to share!

    Six to seven is most we accommodate ideally.

This quaint, local home was the perfect place for our family of 6! We loved the authentic charm and history, and the views from the home of the Bay are amazing! There isn't much storage, but the thoughtful touches (coffee bar, bathroom items) were great. The home is in a great location for walking downtown and to the playground and waterfront. We hope to return someday!

We loved this house! It has so much historical charm and the location can’t be beat. It’s right in the downtown, which is so cute and there is so much to see, all of it walkable. The owner was quick and responsive to all of our needs. We had a great stay in Seward and would highly recommend this rental. We are a family of 5 and fit very comfortably in this house.

Late Season Family Celebration Stay

Again, Tanguy has aided us in creating great family memories and a comfortable stay. He worked with me in figuring out how to accommodate us and I truly appreciate it. Mostly everything we needed to cook and get cozy was provided, the view as always, soothing and the location unbeatable.

Great location and perfect place to stay in Seward

This home is the perfect place to stay for a couple of nights when in Seward. We spent 2 nights as we were in Seward for a cruise and wanted something that had a kitchen so we could cook our own light meal due to dietary restrictions. The kitchen was super clean with everything labeled and in its proper place. The rooms were well appointed with clean sheets and linens. for the bathrooms. The view of Resurrection bay from the dining table Was amazing. Check-in and Check-out instructions were very clear. Plenty of parking space both in front of the house and on the side. We will definitely recommend this property.

Seward is Best Place if you love Alaska Wildlife!

Two couples rented this house for 5 nights before boarding our Celebrity cruise. We flew into Anchorage and hired SalmonBerry tours to take the 4 of us to Seward, stopping at the Wildlife Conservation Center, for lunch & Bear Creek Weir. Our friends stayed upstairs with their own bathroom and TV. We stayed downstairs with a bathroom adjoining our bedroom. It's an old house that has been mostly redone. The kitchen was perfect for our needs & had good supply of pots, dishes & seasonings. The dual coffee maker used kcups as well as ground coffee & owner privided nice selection of k-cups. Nice dining room & living room, tons of games, books. The dresser in downstairs bedroom was filled with pillows and the closet filled with an extra mattress. The host supplied shampoo, conditioner & body wash which was great. The location is perfect since we didn't rent a car. We could easily walk to restaurants and a health food store. We walked a short distance to the SeaLife Center which we loved and appreciated the discount the host gave us. We could also take free shuttle from the SeaLife center & it even took all our luggage to the cruise port when we left. We walked to the harbor & Safeway..but it was a longer walk. The absolute highlight of our stay was our 8 1/2 hour Wildlife cruise with Major Marine & we appreciated the discount our host provided. Very fun way to experience a bit of Alaska!

Amazing stay!

The house was very convenient to town and other activities in the area! Perfect for families, especially with young children. We appreciated the recommendations to visit the local library next door, along with the neighborhood park and Lowell Point beach area. Our kids enjoyed the selection of games available to play too. Kitchen was fully stocked and there was plenty of room for our multi-generation family of 8. Thank you for a great stay!
