We thoroughly enjoyed this rental. The unit was clean, toiletries were supplied, and the host even had snacks for their guests... how welcoming! It was perfect for the two of us.. nice and cozy and conveniently located between both ends of town. We loved this rental. Would definitely stay here again when we come back!

Enjoyable overnight trip

Our stay was very enjoyable. We arrived later in the evening and the hosts were accomadating. Entrance into the home was very simple. The home was clean and had a large selection of goodies (coffee, snacks, etc). We would definitely book again in the future.

Great stay

Overall nice experience. Clean, comfortable and in proximity to all that Seward has to offer. Front door needs to have a deadbolt strike adjusted to function properly and numeric lever to be tighten. My stay was for 2 nights and I was out all day exploring. Neighbors were quiet and no mischief was going on in the neighborhood ( always a plus ). Thank you Toni

Out of the rain

Easy to find. Walking distance to harbor and city center( about a mile either direction). Quiet neighborhood. Cute layout and art. Comfy full size bed. Nice coffee counter with microwave and small fridge. Good communication with owner. Good place to hole up during the rain with WIFI, TV, movies, and lots of board games.

Nice

My mistake, but there wasn’t a kitchen. We were planning on cooking our fish from our fishing trip. But it was very comfortable and clean. So if you don’t mind not cooking. Awesome! Thanks for letting us stay.

Overpriced for what it is

Honestly, I wanted to love this place but it is overpriced. For the record: I can get past the fact it hasn't been updated in years. The space itself is large enough for two people to be enjoying on a rainy day without getting cabin fever. The decor in the bathroom is cute! The location really sells this place...walk either direction: to downtown business district for all your meals or up to the marina for fishing and scenic cruises. Security and the mold/mildew in the shower are the biggest concerns. The bedroom window does not latch (owner plans to repair it after the season) and there is no security chain to lock from the inside to make sure no one accidentally comes in while you are there. Also, the arctic entryway does not lock and has no blinds - this would be an awesome space for extra gear storage. While you have the entire space to yourself, you are really in some rooms cordoned off from a larger house. There is unfortunately no outdoor space to enjoy. This is out of the owner's control, but the place next door is an eyesore. Front yard has junk and things everywhere. Back to thus place...the freezer does not work. We put leftover gelato in and next day it was soup, so don't plan on frozen meals. We appreciated the snacks and coffee and tea, that was a nice touch! But calling it a kitchenette is a stretch. Moral of the story: if you just need a place to sleep and store your stuff and this is the cheapest option, go for it.

Quaint Place Downtown

This was a quaint little place right downtown Seward. It was close to a Free Shuttle stop, which was great because we arrived by train and didn't have a car. It was clean, had lots of amenities, like advertised and a few nice surprises, and in a quite neighborhood.

Great space to rest up for the next adventure

This location was easy to find and convenient to both the walkable downtown area of Seward, as well as more uptown areas (including the hub for our outdoor expeditions with Exit Glacier Guides and Liquid Adventures, both five-stars!). Clean, with comfy couch and bed, and enough amenities to give us a comfortable break from a mostly-outdoor vacation, and at a reasonable price.
