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

Driftwood Suites - TidePool (#3)

This apartment was designed with your comfort in mind and comes fully equipped with everything you'll need for an enjoyable stay. This unit has 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath and is located on the second floor. You'll find unbeatable views of surrounding mountains from every window as well as from both the front and back decks.

Each bedroom and sleeping area is thoughtfully fitted with black-out coverings to help guests get a good night sleep in the land of the Midnight Sun. The blinds are also top down, bottom up so that you can maintain privacy from the street but still enjoy the mountain views.

There are two bedrooms with a queen size bed in each and one bedroom with a bunk bed that has a twin and full size mattress. The apartment has only one bathroom, but the toilet and bathtub are separated from the sink. There is a washer/dryer in the unit.

The kitchen features a large space for cooking and a grill is on the deck for outdoor cooking as well. The kitchen is fully stocked with most everything you'll need to prepare meals and beverages. We do encourage guests to refrain from cooking fish inside the unit and instead encourage the outdoor grill to cook your local catch instead. We do not allow processing of fish on property.

Ideally located right in the heart of Seward within walking distance of the harbor and the historic downtown district, Driftwood Suites houses three vacation rental apartments and the office for a real estate brokerage, Seward Properties. Please keep in mind that the suite shares a wall with another unit. If you're a light sleeper, we suggest bringing a sound machine.

Located only two blocks from a free city shuttle stop and less than a block away from Exit Glacier Guides, which offers inexpensive transport to the Exit Glacier area of Kenai Fjords National Park. Perched along the rocky coast of Resurrection Bay, Seward is a small, seaside community and a great destination for those seeking adventure, Alaskan style!

As a free resource, my husband Clay, a local boat captain, and I are here to answer questions or help you book the perfect excursion to explore Seward and the surrounding Kenai Fjords National Park. We offer discounts on many tours to our guests.

Kylee, Clay and the Seward Vacation Stays team are excited to host you, share their favorite Alaskan adventures, and ensure you have the very best stay in Seward.
We do encourage guests to refrain from cooking fish inside the unit; however, we do provide a grill for outdoor cooking of your local catch. We do not allow processing of fish on property.

Property is Wonderful

We loved our time in this condo. We had enough space for the six of us and they nicely supplied plenty of towels and glasses and dishes. The owners were super responsive and when we needed to add a night to our booking, they quickly arranged it. Seward is absolutely gorgeous. We would love to come again.

This was an amazing spot to enjoy our time in Seward. The apartment was clean and well appointed with anything you might need to feel at home. The sweeping views of Resurrection Bay were amazing. Close enough to walk to some shops and restaurants as well as the path by the shore. The host was responsive to questions and communication was great.

Spotless and Beautiful.

The moment you walk in the place, it smells clean and looks spotless. Such a well taken care of place. We had everything we needed from the bathroom to the laundry to the kitchen. If I ever come back to Seward I will be coming here again. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. So much space and a beautiful view of the water right from the balcony. There was not a single thing I could point out that was an issue and everything worked as expected. Love, love, love this place and Seward and can’t wait to come back!

Great Location and Great Place!

Great property for our family to stay! It had a balcony with a great view of the ocean and mountains which was a bonus! The place was clean and there was one minor repair needed that I alerted the property owner of that they were working on fixing right away. The location was a couple blocks walk to downtown and the ocean which was so nice. Plenty of space for our group of six to stay. We were glad they had lots of basic kitchen amenities and a washer and dryer to use too. Overall, would highly recommend for anyone staying in Seward and wanting a place close to amenities with plenty of room for guests!
