About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Driftwood Suites - TidePool (#3)

This apartment was designed with your comfort in mind and comes fully equipped with everything you'll need for an enjoyable stay. This unit has 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath and is located on the second floor. You'll find unbeatable views of surrounding mountains from every window as well as from both the front and back decks.

Each bedroom and sleeping area is thoughtfully fitted with black-out coverings to help guests get a good night sleep in the land of the Midnight Sun. The blinds are also top down, bottom up so that you can maintain privacy from the street but still enjoy the mountain views.

There are two bedrooms with a queen size bed in each and one bedroom with a bunk bed that has a twin and full size mattress. The apartment has only one bathroom, but the toilet and bathtub are separated from the sink. There is a washer/dryer in the unit.

The kitchen features a large space for cooking and a grill is on the deck for outdoor cooking as well. The kitchen is fully stocked with most everything you'll need to prepare meals and beverages. We do encourage guests to refrain from cooking fish inside the unit and instead encourage the outdoor grill to cook your local catch instead. We do not allow processing of fish on property.

Ideally located right in the heart of Seward within walking distance of the harbor and the historic downtown district, Driftwood Suites houses three vacation rental apartments and the office for a real estate brokerage, Seward Properties. Please keep in mind that the suite shares a wall with another unit. If you're a light sleeper, we suggest bringing a sound machine.

Located only two blocks from a free city shuttle stop and less than a block away from Exit Glacier Guides, which offers inexpensive transport to the Exit Glacier area of Kenai Fjords National Park. Perched along the rocky coast of Resurrection Bay, Seward is a small, seaside community and a great destination for those seeking adventure, Alaskan style!

As a free resource, my husband Clay, a local boat captain, and I are here to answer questions or help you book the perfect excursion to explore Seward and the surrounding Kenai Fjords National Park. We offer discounts on many tours to our guests.

Kylee, Clay and the Seward Vacation Stays team are excited to host you, share their favorite Alaskan adventures, and ensure you have the very best stay in Seward.
We do encourage guests to refrain from cooking fish inside the unit; however, we do provide a grill for outdoor cooking of your local catch. We do not allow processing of fish on property.

Great Location and Great Place!
Great property for our family to stay! It had a balcony with a great view of the ocean and mountains which was a bonus! The place was clean and there was one minor repair needed that I alerted the property owner of that they were working on fixing right away. The location was a couple blocks walk to downtown and the ocean which was so nice. Plenty of space for our group of six to stay. We were glad they had lots of basic kitchen amenities and a washer and dryer to use too. Overall, would highly recommend for anyone staying in Seward and wanting a place close to amenities with plenty of room for guests!

Location! Simply Perfect!
The location could not have been more perfect. We were there for the 4th of July festivities and we could walk to everything: Boat parade, Fireworks (from our deck), Race day route just at the end of the alley, plenty of parking onsite. All around a great location, amenities, layout/space of the 3 bedroom was great. We had some downtime and for having 6 it didn't seem crowded at all. Loved the options to sit on the deck (front or back).

Great stay at a nice little apartment
It was very clean and centrally located between the two main downtown areas of Seward. Easy to get to. There was coffee and a machine already available which was great. Free, fast WiFi. Definitely would recommend staying here. My family of four plus a grandma (so 3 adults and 2 kids, 9 and 11) very comfortably stayed here. It is small, but the point of going to Seward isn’t to stay inside! Also be aware that it’s on the second story—not a problem at all for my group, but good to know.

Clean comfy place; great views!
Stayed a quick two nights after our cruise. Very clean- easy walking location and a nice view. Well stocked, comfy pillows and we loved having the washer and dryer with soap provided. Only little drawback was being on a main road so some street noise. But overall great little condo

Magnificent Views and Location
This unit was perfect. Immaculately clean and located between historic downtown and the amazingly beautiful small boat harbor. We were in unit 3 and had incredible views out of every window. And the windows were BIG! Didn't need a car which was nice. Mt Marathon hike was also steps away. Shhhh. Don't tell!

We loved our time in this condo. We had enough space for the six of us and they nicely supplied plenty of towels and glasses and dishes. The owners were super responsive and when we needed to add a night to our booking, they quickly arranged it. Seward is absolutely gorgeous. We would love to come again.

Great stay
Our stay at Driftwood Suites was great. The place itself was perfect for our needs (two couples + 1 teenager). Everything was as we expected. The location was great (between the two "centers" of Seward). Check-in and checkout was super easy. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
