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.

Nice rental

We enjoyed several days here in Seward. The propoerty had enough beds for the entire family and we hung out in the living room at night relaxing and watching TV. Super conveniently located, just a quick walk to restaurants downtown, to the ocean, and in the opposite direction, to the marina where we took a boat tour and saw some amazing wildlife.

Relaxed, comfy stay in Seward!

I spent two nights here on a work trip. It was very clean, well-maintained, a block from Waterfront Park, and close to everything else. All the appliances worked well, it was stocked with coffee and tea, and the bed and couches were comfy!

Clean and well appointed

The only issue we had was something beeping in the middle of the night. Beeped 4 times then 12 seconds nothing then beep again. We looked for where it was coming from but could not find it.

Comfortable Stay

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!

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.

This was a neat, quiet property. It was close to a nice walking path that skirted the harbor area. The apartment was neat and tidy, and the lawn was freshly mown. I would recommend this spot and stay here again!
