Perfect Seward Getaway!

We were in town for a few days fishing and getting ready for a wedding! The place was absolutely perfect! The hosts have thought of everything you need for a relaxing place just minutes from the Seward waterfront! We will absolutely look to stay here again on our next visit!

Pleasant Stay

We had a nice stay at this property. It was clean, comfortable, and Shirley was responsive to questions. The only disadvantage was the foot noise from the upstairs rental.

Seward

We were in the bottom unit which was very noisy if there were guests upstairs! We could hear every footstep. The unit is basement, so it’s a little musty smelling. The owner does have a dehumidifier running in the bedroom. The unit is clean and well stocked. The location was good for hiking and adventures based out of Seward. We liked having the grill and we sat on the porch bar stools watching eagles!

Perfect spot to decompress

We are local Alaskan's who traveled to Seward for a weekend of decompression and to enjoy the area. The lodging was perfect for our needs. It accommodated two friends who just wanted to unwind, enjoy nature, rest and relax. The lodging was clean and had everything we needed. The hosts were easy to get in touch with (although we didn't need anything). The area is amazing and we had a wonderful time kayaking with Sunny Cove in Resurrection Bay and beach combing at Lowell Point and 4th of July beach. One of our favorite meals was at the Flamingo Lounge.

Perfect place for our needs!

Was a great place for myself and two daughters… felt spoiled after cabin camping and went on to tent camping after. Shirley even provided an air mattress so we could each have our own bed after sleeping side by side all week lol. Beautiful kitchen and bathroom!

Nice stay

Enjoyed our stay. Had a problem finding the house. Used Waze which took us to what appeared to be a random location on Seward Hwy. after some thinking realize the property near by. But after a long travel day was frustrating. Also had confusion as to whether we rented the top apartment or the lower apartment. A quick call to host corrected my confusion. Unit was clean and comfortable.

Nice house located outside of town In a Quiet area.

This was a nice quiet place for two of us to stay. We did not spend a lot of time In The house but found it clean and as described in the listing. Check in and out process was easy. We were happy to be outside of traffic in town.

Clean and Comfortable Cabin

Great place to stay! Beautiful view and porch area. Clean and comfortable. Check in/out process was simple and Shirley was readily available. I would recommend if you are a light sleeper to opt for the top floor vrbo that is also offered. Foot steps were quite loud and I could hear the person above me snoring.

Wish all properties were this welcoming

From the moment we walked in the door we knew we had chosen well when we booked this property. Everything is of fine quality - the sheets were luxurious and the towels brand new and soft and dense. The living area is large and accommodating. The kitchen is high class and plentifully equipped with everything you could need. A Keurig machine and K-cups sat on the counter. Countertop and backsplash look brand new. We especially appreciated the gas grill.

Great Hideaway - Everything Close And Still Feels Remote

We spent 8 days here, the home was very welcoming, the views were great, the hosts were friendly and responsive. We'll be back. The interior of the home was bright with lots of windows to see the forest and mountains around you, and the blackout curtains were perfect for keeping out the Alaskan midnight light when it was time to sleep. Trailhead to an amazing hike (Lost Lake Trail) was just 2 minutes away with fresh berries everywhere and views of Resurrection Bay and surrounding peaks along the way. Just 5 minutes from town for those grocery store trips. BBQ grill on property for grilling up fresh fish or anything else. Fresh grilled salmon for breakfast is hard to beat. Nice picnic table, chairs, and fire pit for catching up on the day's adventures. Covered space over lower unit landing was perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks, watching the mountains or a bald eagle perched across the road. The home is up-slope on a hill, which gives you some nice views. Very happy, already wishing we were still there.
