The property was very nice and had everything we needed. Great lighting, comfy beds, clean bathrooms and no clutter! This was the perfect place for us to wrap up our 2 weeks in Alaska.
Enjoyed our stay in Driftwood Suites!It was comfortable, clean, and roomy for 4 adults.we loved being able to walk to all the great restaurants and shops.
This was just what we needed for our stay in Seward. Everything was clean, and safe. Laundry detergent was provided, along with basic toiletries in the shower, which was nice. Would stay here again!
We had a great time here! Easy walking distance to the waterfront park, downtown, and the docks where the tour boats take off. The 4-hour wildlife and glacier viewing boat ride (Major Marine Tours was excellent.
Great views of Resurrection Bay and the surrounding mountains. Unit was well stocked and clean. Very comfortable and within walking distance of harbor and downtown Seward.
The hosts were awesome and were great communicators. We were only here for a few days and didn’t spend too much time in the property but it was a great location.
Walking distance to the bars/shops/harbor! Perfect location! Place was clean and tidy and great for 5 adults! Hosts were very responsive for anything we needed! Used our discount on the Major Marine tours for a wildlife cruise in Resurrection Bay which was very enjoyable as well!
Great property - highly recommend. The location is centrally placed between fishing docks and downtown, walkable in both directions. The host was wonderful, giving plenty of details about access, amenities, etc. Everything you need in the apartment for cooking, washer/dryer, and even bear spray. Will stay again on our next visit!
Great location and plenty of room for six people. Perfect for a family vacation. We were able to fix a nice breakfast for all of us and still get out by 7am to make our boat excursion. Clean and in excellent condition. Highly recommend it.
The property was nicer than the photos. Everything was clean and well cared for. The property had everything we needed. It exceeded all our expectations.
Had lunch and busted the Exit glacier while waiting to check in. The place was small but clean, opening windows kept rooms cool. It had lots of hot water and laundry. Close to town- easy to park am lit to get Kenai Fjord tour.
Great location, clean property. Had everything we needed for 4 people for several nights. Thanks for sharing it.

Great place right in between the port/train station and downtown easy to walk to both. There is also a free shuttle, one block away, which is super easy as well. The unit itself is completely updated and had everything that we needed. The host was great and communicated great as well.
The apartment was wonderful! It was home away from home for us as we had space to lounge out and cook. Great location to be able to walk to town or hikes. Short driving distance to Safeway and to Exit Glacier. Great view, clean and well stocked! Great communication from the hosts for check-in and check-out and for activities to book prior to arrival. We loved our time in Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park!
From the moment we walked in we were awestruck by the unit and the view! It was in a convenient location to everything we wanted to do. All the comforts of home from coffee to a clean and comfy bed. The blinds when down kept out the “night” light. We looked forward to going back at the end of each day. The reservation staff (Kylee) was excellent in responsiveness. We’ll definitely stay here again!
Friend and I came in for a couple days of fishing. Stayed here a couple of years ago. I thought it looked newly remodeled back then. Looks exactly the same.
Great location.
We will be back.

We came to Seward, from Anchorage for one night. Originally booking a local motel. Ended up staying here instead, and it was the right move! This unit is exactly is pictured and described, if not better. We were given instructions via e-mail on the check in process, which was very easy. Both rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The unit was great, and much better then what the motels had to offer, for a very similar price. If I come back to Seward, this will be where I stay.
