Beautiful Stay for Family Celebrations.

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.

Perfect location

Location of the property was perfect to walk around. Older quaint apartment perfect for what we were looking for near the water and town. A 20 min walk to the port for marine tours if you don’t want to drive and right next to the marine wildlife center. Gas grill is on the ground floor and this unit is upstairs if you choose to use it.

Good location

Loved the location, 2 blocks from the historic area of Seward. Short walk to the inlet and the sealife park. Only down side thing was we couldn't figure out how to turn the heat on to take the slight chill out of the air. We did find an electric oil heater to use.

Well done renovation

My family and I rented both floors of this historic property and we loved it! It's central to the downtown area of Seward. It is within a 2 minute walk to one of the most beautiful views in Alaska, Resurrection Bay. The house itself had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. We highly recommend this property.

Alaskan Overview

First time to Alaska and Seward definitely has all things Alaska. Stayed all 7 days in this town and each day was a new adventure. Even just the Sea Life center was a favorite. The water is within site of this place, walking distance to everything. Absolutely the perfect place. Clean, plenty of room and perfectly located in town. Thankful we found this gem and highly recommended. Hosts also are very helpful on local advice.

Cute property, but…

This house couldn’t have a better location. It was clean and charming with all of its history. However, although the house was from 1905- I was not expecting the mattresses to be from the same era. The mattresses and pillows in this house desperately need replacing. Also, there really is not much point in having a bedside lamp and clock if they are not plugged in and no extension cord is provided.

Great location & spacious living areas.

The place worked good. But the listing has the wrong address & the property manager never returned our 3 calls requesting how to put the heat on & what the Wi-Fi code was. We did find the code on a slip of paper by the tv & did get some heat. Also, the text symbol for the property manager does not work. So no texting. The view is great & eventually everything worked.
