1 Block From The Beach!

2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, Sleeps 4

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. Adjacent to our other vacation rental unit (VRBO Listing #971600). 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 house very nice location

Its a decent house... had all amenities and good utensils in kitchen. Loved the location... its literally a block away from the beach side and beautiful view...and very close to the harbor for cruises. We enjoyed our stay and convenience from this location.

Fantastic place

We stayed for two nights and this was perfect. Plenty of room for a family of 4 with 2 teen boys. Enough space for everyone, able to do some laundry, very comfortable beds and a great location. Kind of brought in the middle of the old Main Street by the sea life center and the marina. Easy to take a walk with gorgeous Resurrection Bay views to either of those areas. Highly recommend this location for a stay in Seward. .

kitchen items

the only recommendation we had was the pots and pans were not non stick which made ours meals very hard to cook and eat. would have loved to have dish rags to wash dishes. had to end up using our wash clothes from the bathroom.

Good location

The unit was in a good location. The bedrooms had a musty smell—possibly from the carpet—but fortunately, it was warm enough to leave the windows open for ventilation.There isn’t seating for more than two people to eat, which, in retrospect, is clear from the photos.Overall, it was a fine place to sleep and have breakfast for a couple of nights. We spent most of our time out doing activities.Communication with the host was excellent.

Between the Harbor and Downtown

The home was very comfortable and clean. I would stay here again. Host was responsive. Beds were cozy and we both slept well. Room darkening shades in the bedrooms..The shore, the harbor, and downtown were all walkable. The large picture window in the living room facing the parking lot is unencumbered by a curtain.
