Perfect location
Location of the property was perfect to walk around. Older quaint apartment perfect for what we were looking for near the water and town. A 20 min walk to the port for marine tours if you don’t want to drive and right next to the marine wildlife center. Gas grill is on the ground floor and this unit is upstairs if you choose to use it.

Good location
Loved the location, 2 blocks from the historic area of Seward. Short walk to the inlet and the sealife park. Only down side thing was we couldn't figure out how to turn the heat on to take the slight chill out of the air. We did find an electric oil heater to use.

Cute property, but…
This house couldn’t have a better location. It was clean and charming with all of its history. However, although the house was from 1905- I was not expecting the mattresses to be from the same era. The mattresses and pillows in this house desperately need replacing. Also, there really is not much point in having a bedside lamp and clock if they are not plugged in and no extension cord is provided.

Beautiful Stay for Family Celebrations.
Again, Tanguy has aided us in creating great family memories and a comfortable stay. He worked with me in figuring out how to accommodate us and I truly appreciate it. Mostly everything we needed to cook and get cozy was provided, the view as always, soothing and the location unbeatable.

Alaskan Overview
First time to Alaska and Seward definitely has all things Alaska. Stayed all 7 days in this town and each day was a new adventure. Even just the Sea Life center was a favorite. The water is within site of this place, walking distance to everything. Absolutely the perfect place. Clean, plenty of room and perfectly located in town. Thankful we found this gem and highly recommended. Hosts also are very helpful on local advice.

We moved to Alaska 24 years ago for a couple of years and never left! We have raised four Alaskan Kids here and love Seward and Alaska. You will too!

Why they chose this property

My wife and I purchased this home because we fell in love with its fascinating history, location and feel. We could imagine ourselves here in 1905 and wanted to restore and honor this important part of Seward and U.S. History. Right next to library and two blocks from the part and waterfront.

What makes this property unique

Views and walking distance to everything!, period decor, amazing views, proximity to the waterfront, charm and coziness.
