WATERFRONT COTTAGE RENTAL

WATERFRONT COTTAGE BUILT 1952
An iconic Seldovia home is now available for rent. This idyllic cottage home, built-in 1952, has been home to many Seldovia families. It is built on the historic old boardwalk that once ran the entire length of Main Street prior to the 1964 quake. The lower level on the boardwalk is a warehouse with a washer & dryer, up a gentle flight of stairs to the kitchen & sitting area, two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The kitchen is fully appointed with Cuisinart, Kitchen Aid Mixer, and press pot for coffee; owners live next door if you need anything. A steep staircase takes you to two more bedrooms. The wrapped deck includes a BBQ, planters, and furniture. We purchased the house in 1976 and enjoyed it as a weekend retreat from our busy lives in Anchorage. It is one of the most photographed scenes in Seldovia, the first glimpse of town from the bridge when arriving from the airstrip. The home is built on pilings over the slough, a tidal estuary of Seldovia Bay. Enjoy the energy of the daily tides and the many varieties of birds, including eagles with scenic mountains in the background. You can fish for salmon from the beach below the deck in June, watch the 5K salmon shuffle run down the boardwalk the morning of July 4th, see otters playing in the slough below the house, and admire the perennial garden park just outside the door. Visit www.seldovia.comto see what’s going on in the community, see live webcams, and make plans for activities. You otter be here, you're going to love it!

Cozy cottage in great location
This was our 2nd stay at Susie’s waterfront cottage and will remain our go-to for trips to Seldovia. Once again really enjoyed the location - easy walk to the harbor area for food, paddle boarded from just below the cottage, watched the kids fishing off the bridge from the deck, prime eagle watching location. The cottage itself is cozy and stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Suzie is a wonderful host and we are happy to have found this vacation gem!

Right on the slough! We caught fish from the deck. Owners live next door and are easy to reach if any problems. I will be back!

Perfect home away from home
We had the best time at Susie’s place! Took the kids for a long weekend, turned off the TV, beachcombed, assembled puzzles, and made lasting memories!!

Quiet Seldovia Getaway
This was our second time to Seldovia and we loved having the opportunity to stay along the iconic boardwalk! Suzie's quaint and authentically Alaskan cottage on the water has stunning views and just invites you curl up with a good book and rejuvenate. Suzie was very responsive and helpful during our stay, even allowing us to have a late checkout which was extremely helpful while travelling with an infant! Would absolutely stay again! Thanks for another amazing visit to Seldovia Suzie!
