1 Block from the Bay!

2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, Sleeps 5 to 6

Also known as Captain's Quarters. Conveniently located halfway between the Seward small boat harbor and Seward´s historic downtown. Both are within a short walking distance along a coastal trail that is just one block from the front door. The trail is part of the original Iditarod Trail. Very clean and private with 2 bedrooms, a full kitchen, wifi, DirectTV/DVD, Washer and Dryer and a BBQ. this unit also has a futon style couch that folds flat and could sleep one to two more people. Bringing the total to 6 people. Adjacent to our other vacation rental unit (VRBO Listing #738304). This is great for someone who is wanting to have a rental for 8 to 10 people, as the two units are side by side. Owned and operated by a 4´th generation Seward, Alaskan.

Good: Communication with the property manager was great. He even allowed us to add one extra person to the reservation after we booked. He was amazing by allowing us to check in as soon as we got off the train which was so incredibly helpful. We received the code at an appropriate time before check in. It is 1 block from the bay and approximately 2 blocks from the cities free shuttle. People in the neighborhood seemed very nice and even offered us a ride when they saw us pulling our luggage. Bad: It was pouring down rain and we had to trek our luggage 2 blocks from the free shuttle, up hill. 3 of us are younger and it wasn't such and issue, but we had our mothers with us so that made things more challenging. The trailer was a bit run down but to be honest we were in a small Alaskan town so its different than a big city. The cleaning left a bit to be desired. There was a huge cobweb in the main bedroom, a dirty hand towel on the bathroom sink that I'm assuming the cleaning crew just forgot and the front bedroom and bathroom windows were left wide open so one of the beds had a huge wet spot from the rain pouring in. The neighbors wake early and are very chatty so since we shared a wall, we too were up early.

Very comfortable and convenient!
This well-equipped home was perfect for the 4 of us women. I slept on the couch, which wasn’t as comfortable as the beds, but the home was well-equipped in the kitchen, had a washer and dryer, and was located near downtown and the harbor. We needed bedding for the couch and owners were very responsive in bringing it over.

Paying for location
Cozy, small unit a block from the water which was great for walking! The unit was a little rough around the edges though, not as clean and well kept as I expected for the price. The kitchen and laundry was much appreciated. Worked just fine for our group but wasnt amazing.

My room had a window that opened and it was a cool breeze and very quiet. We had a sweet reunion with family. We were so happy and grateful to be here in beautiful surroundings and to be close to the beach was superb! Thank you!!

Please don't judge a book by its cover! The area and outside is a little weathered, but the inside was clean and the amenities were top of the line. It was a perfect location to the marina for early morning fishing trips

New carpet was a plus. Need to update kitchen items as it’s very limited and dishes have chips. Would have been nice to have laundry detergent. Coffee was bold, too strong for us.

The hostess did not communicate after I emailed her. I had to call her. Then she gave me the wrong apartment. She gave me the code and I walked in and there were other people's belongings in the apartment. She gave me another place but the whole place smelled old and stale. Both bedrooms smelled like urine and sweat. The bathroom was moldy. It was too late to get a different night stay because everything was booked up. The old building is actually a doublewide trailer or manufactured home. I would not recommend this place.

We enjoyed our night at this property. The location was perfect for whatever a guest would choose to do in Seward. We centered our visit around a cruise of Kenai Fjords and we could reach the small boat harbor quickly. Consider this property for your visit to Seward!

Tim and Bri have a beautiful home nestled in Seward, and within walking distance to everywhere. My son had his wedding at Miller’s Landing and this was a quick 10 minute drive to the location. Clean and comfortable with all the amenities.

Nice cozy place and clean. Seward is not a big town so this home is placed perfectly between the docks and downtown. The bedrooms are tight but we weren’t in Alaska to hang out in a house.
