About this property

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.

Great place to stay in Seward.

The location, check in process, communication and overall experience was fantastic. You’re close to everything in town and at the harbor, the place was spotless and it’s the kind of seamless ease you want when renting a house on vacation.It was a great place for our family and I highly recommend.
