Host was wonderful! Location was great and close to pier and everything in Seward. Check in and out was super easy. Perfect for one or two people. My 70 year old friend slept on the couch and was comfortable. Keurig coffee and water was provided. Bed was super comfy and blackout curtains were so awesome. Full stock of board games and small book library was sweet! When hotel room are 400 plus a night, this was a welcome surprise. Loved my stay!
The property is well located, clean and organized. The host is very thoughtful and responsive. The check-in process was smooth and the living room has snacks.Highly recommend this listing to others visiting Seward!

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!
Perfect place in Seward! Had everything i needed, was very comfortable, quiet, great location. Coffee, tea, snacks provided and much appreciated. Great host, would stay there again, Seward is fantastic! Did a 7 hour Kenai Fjords tour, hiked up Exit Glacier to Harding Ice field, ate at The Cookery and Flamingo Lounge. Stunningly beautiful place.
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.
After an initial problem of trying to get into the property, we found the suite very comfortable and had everything one would need for a wonderful stay. I would suggest the host hang a curtain on the door window for some added privacy.
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
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.
Most restaurants and the Aquarium were less than a half mile walk. I asked for extra pillows and the Host (Toni) was very accommodating. It did not have a kitchen/kitchenette but it did have a small refrigerator. Everything worked as it should and it was clean. We didn’t have any issues with the stay.
Location was perfect. The house was clean. Snacks and anything else you could possibly need was provided. First aid kit, toiletries, extra blankets, towels, Netflix subscription, and everything else you could think of. Very private and cozy.
Place was extremely clean and check in was the easiest check-in ever. The host was lightning fast to respond. This place makes any destination in Seward an easy walk. Park the car in the huge parking spot and explore Seward. Everything you need for a relaxing short stay is there and it’s reasonably priced. Thank you!

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.
