About this property

Entire place

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

History, Views, Charm and Perfect Location!

Located in the original 1913 Seward town site. Charming and quaint, it has everything you want from a Alaska summer vacation rental.

After a full day of sightseeing, touring, fishing, hiking and shopping, you can relax in our comfortable and fully appointed home-like setting.

Conveniently located in downtown Seward, you are steps away from why you came to our historic and exciting town.

Views from Upstairs loft and from your dining room. Step out our front door for a breathtaking view literally a few steps From Resurrection Bay, walk to the Sea life center for an afternoon of discovery, or visit Brown and Hawkins for home made Gelato and fabulous fudge.

If you like to walk, follow the waterfront towards the Marina or stroll towards Lowell Point for an afternoon of Kayaking or a try at Catching a King or Silver Salmon at the nearby Waterfall.

For those who like to get the kids out of the house and relax, send them to the local library, the skate park or to skip rocks at the waterfront all within walking distance.

If you prefer to read and relax, sit on the back deck or settle into a comfortable chair and enjoy a book. Games and videos available for the kids.

For Dinner, invite friends and cook dinner on our back deck BBQ or in the fully appointed kitchen. We have what you need from pots, pans, to plates and utensils.

Fresh linens await you upon arrival and there is no cleanup required when you leave-Just no dirty dishes, please.

We hope you enjoy our home away from home, it is a paradise retreat we are proud to share!

Six to seven is most we accommodate ideally.

We loved this house! It has so much historical charm and the location can’t be beat. It’s right in the downtown, which is so cute and there is so much to see, all of it walkable. The owner was quick and responsive to all of our needs. We had a great stay in Seward and would highly recommend this rental. We are a family of 5 and fit very comfortably in this house.

Amazing stay!

The house was very convenient to town and other activities in the area! Perfect for families, especially with young children. We appreciated the recommendations to visit the local library next door, along with the neighborhood park and Lowell Point beach area. Our kids enjoyed the selection of games available to play too. Kitchen was fully stocked and there was plenty of room for our multi-generation family of 8. Thank you for a great stay!

Convenient place

This is a convenient location. No bells or whistles in this older home, but has a beautiful view of the water and is an easy walk to shops etc. we’ve suggested some updating to the owners, but if you’re looking for adequate lodging that is close to a good portion of Seward’s shops, this is a good fit.

Fun times despite bad weather

As is the gamble with two days in Seward, you never really know what you are going to get in regard to weather so we ultimately spent several days eating out and at the house. The house is historic in feel in that it is nothing flashy but has tons of neat character. I’d stay here again.

This is an older property in the old part of Seward close to everything. Great decor and use of the space to make it very comfortable and relaxing. The only thing that would be nice is laundry but certainly not a deal breaker. Owner communication was excellent.

Cute house Convenient location

This house was perfect for our ladies weekend in Seward, 7 total. We really enjoyed our stay in this cozy downtown house. It is located in a convenient spot just up the street from the Sea life center. The living room was great for us to hang out and play games. The kitchen was perfect for us to be able to make all of our meals. I would definitely recommend this rental and I hope to return in the future. Thanks!

Quaint historic home in beautiful town

Everything about our stay in this historic home in Seward was fantastic - from the owners communication and recommendations for our trip, to the home itself as base camp for 4 adults (4 separate beds) to the picturesque and laid back town. This rental experience also had almost a familial sense to it - no cleaning deposit, things like ketchup and coffee available for our use and simple check out instructions. It was like we were staying in a friend's home, which made it all the more relaxing. Also impressive is the hosts' commitment to and love of the area. I'd definitely stay here again when visiting Seward!
