Just what we needed
The house was in a great location, walkable to many good restaurants and shops. The neighborhood was quiet, away from the harbor and crowds, which is what we were looking for. The house was clean, spatious and comfortable.

Comfortable house and location
This house was great for my son and I as we visited Seward in August 2024. There are portions of the house that are dated, but not uncomfortably so. Everything worked well, the house was well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. Communications with the property manager were quick and friendly. The house is within easy walking distance from restaurants and attractions.

Cutest little property
We had the best time staying here. It is perfect for families. Everything was comfortable! When we had a question or needed something, they are super quick to respond! We walked around, played on the playground, enjoyed the downtown scene, and had stunning views. This property is a great stay and would recommend!!

Quaint cottage
Even though this is not a waterfront propery, the location was perfect for our family. Great water views from each side of the house. 1 min walk to waterfront trail and founder's monument. Awesome library/ museum across the street, which my kids loved!!! 2 block walk to mainstreet seward shops, restaurants, and gelato. Most fave part was sitting in lawn chairs basking in sun and watching Northern lights at night :) very clean and kitchen had everything we needed.

It’s ok
The home was ok. Adorable from the outside, run down from the inside. But there are so few choices in Seward. Location was amazing- close to EVERYTHING. Parking was easy. This is not a standalone home- there is another apartment in the back- which created some confusion with the host and the other guest. The inside felt run down. There were a few coffee beans in one of the large jars right on the counter- not sure why. For the price you pay you would think there would be some cheep ground coffee some place, but no- just a few whole beans. Pillows were inside the decorative pillow cases- had to look for the ones that we could actually sleep on. Lots of “bright light” lightbulbs which will make you feel like you are in the office. One night a powerwasher started blasting our windows arounf 9:20pm- we were already in beds trying to get over our jetlag. Scared the heck out of us. Oh well. It could have been better. But it was ok.
