History, Views, Charm and Perfect Location!

Located in the original 1913 Seward town site. Charming and quaint, it has everything you want from a Alaska summer vacation rental.

After a full day of sightseeing, touring, fishing, hiking and shopping, you can relax in our comfortable and fully appointed home-like setting.

Conveniently located in downtown Seward, you are steps away from why you came to our historic and exciting town.

Views from Upstairs loft and from your dining room. Step out our front door for a breathtaking view literally a few steps From Resurrection Bay, walk to the Sea life center for an afternoon of discovery, or visit Brown and Hawkins for home made Gelato and fabulous fudge.

If you like to walk, follow the waterfront towards the Marina or stroll towards Lowell Point for an afternoon of Kayaking or a try at Catching a King or Silver Salmon at the nearby Waterfall.

For those who like to get the kids out of the house and relax, send them to the local library, the skate park or to skip rocks at the waterfront all within walking distance.

If you prefer to read and relax, sit on the back deck or settle into a comfortable chair and enjoy a book. Games and videos available for the kids.

For Dinner, invite friends and cook dinner on our back deck BBQ or in the fully appointed kitchen. We have what you need from pots, pans, to plates and utensils.

Fresh linens await you upon arrival and there is no cleanup required when you leave-Just no dirty dishes, please.

We hope you enjoy our home away from home, it is a paradise retreat we are proud to share!

Six to seven is most we accommodate ideally.

We loved this house! It has so much historical charm and the location can’t be beat. It’s right in the downtown, which is so cute and there is so much to see, all of it walkable. The owner was quick and responsive to all of our needs. We had a great stay in Seward and would highly recommend this rental. We are a family of 5 and fit very comfortably in this house.

Historical Seward House

Parts of this home were great, but several items need attention for the price. Bathrooms and other areas are in need of paint, repairs and general upkeep. Specifically, downstairs bathroom needs paint, better shower curtain and some general maintence. Upstairs had windows sealed with duct tape, blinds that don't work, bathroom has accordian doors that fall off into the room. No access to laundry or garbage cans.

Great location and perfect place to stay in Seward

This home is the perfect place to stay for a couple of nights when in Seward. We spent 2 nights as we were in Seward for a cruise and wanted something that had a kitchen so we could cook our own light meal due to dietary restrictions. The kitchen was super clean with everything labeled and in its proper place. The rooms were well appointed with clean sheets and linens. for the bathrooms. The view of Resurrection bay from the dining table Was amazing. Check-in and Check-out instructions were very clear. Plenty of parking space both in front of the house and on the side. We will definitely recommend this property.

Very expensive for quality

We had 5 people for 2 nights… I called the manager about extra towels and was told there were plenty enough …8 face towels and 8 bath towels… there were in fact 6 face towels and 8 bath towels… he was not very friendly on the phone…..our family took multiple showers because of hiking and stuff and in all Fairness he offered to get them if we didn’t like wet towels lying around… for the cost of this VRBO we thought it should have been cleaner ….

Seward is Best Place if you love Alaska Wildlife!

Two couples rented this house for 5 nights before boarding our Celebrity cruise. We flew into Anchorage and hired SalmonBerry tours to take the 4 of us to Seward, stopping at the Wildlife Conservation Center, for lunch & Bear Creek Weir. Our friends stayed upstairs with their own bathroom and TV. We stayed downstairs with a bathroom adjoining our bedroom. It's an old house that has been mostly redone. The kitchen was perfect for our needs & had good supply of pots, dishes & seasonings. The dual coffee maker used kcups as well as ground coffee & owner privided nice selection of k-cups. Nice dining room & living room, tons of games, books. The dresser in downstairs bedroom was filled with pillows and the closet filled with an extra mattress. The host supplied shampoo, conditioner & body wash which was great. The location is perfect since we didn't rent a car. We could easily walk to restaurants and a health food store. We walked a short distance to the SeaLife Center which we loved and appreciated the discount the host gave us. We could also take free shuttle from the SeaLife center & it even took all our luggage to the cruise port when we left. We walked to the harbor & Safeway..but it was a longer walk. The absolute highlight of our stay was our 8 1/2 hour Wildlife cruise with Major Marine & we appreciated the discount our host provided. Very fun way to experience a bit of Alaska!

Lovely location and good experience

Overall, we enjoyed the property. The house was advertised as historic, which it definitely is. Unfortunately, some of the historic features are a bit challenging, or could be for certain travelers. The kids did not mind the stairs, but they’re quite steep and might be difficult for some. Similarly, the water pressure in the showers was fairly low and there was not a lot of hot water. The views are amazing, the beds comfy, and the blinds kept it pretty dark which we appreciated! While I love the concept of sharing leftover items in the fridge, I did throw out a few funky smelling items. It would be helpful to have a sharpie to date items so the next person can have an idea of the freshness. Regarding cleaning, the house was very clean but there were a few details that could’ve been better, such as used bars of soaps in the shower and a coffee machine filled with grinds. I did not call to have these things addressed as they were minor, but perhaps they will be better noted in the future. Overall, happy with our stay and the location was perfect; just outside main part of town but easily walkable to great restaurants, etc

Amazing location in Seward

This is our second time staying at the property. As mentioned, the location is superb. Morning and evening walks along Resurrection Bay are spectacular. This time we saw stellar sea lions frequently in the water close to the walking path. One evening we watched a humpback whale feeding for at least an hour mostly within 50 yards of the shore. The house is walkable to numerous restaurants, food trucks, and coffee shops. While we drove to the harbor for whale watching boats you could walk it in 15-20 minutes. The house continues to offer a wonderfully equipped kitchen with all you need to cook meals. We would buy fish at the J Dock seafood market and cook up at the house. The Wi-Fi worked great and the TV has Roku. The house also is stocked with K-cups for morning coffee. The host is very communicative. The only negative is the bathroom on the main floor, which in our opinion, should be renovated to be in keeping with the rest of the house and to get a 5-star rating.

Fun times despite bad weather

As is the gamble with two days in Seward, you never really know what you are going to get in regard to weather so we ultimately spent several days eating out and at the house. The house is historic in feel in that it is nothing flashy but has tons of neat character. I’d stay here again.

Kitchen was fully stocked and there was plenty of room for our multi-generation family of 8. Thank you for a great stay!

Convenient place

This is a convenient location. No bells or whistles in this older home, but has a beautiful view of the water and is an easy walk to shops etc. we’ve suggested some updating to the owners, but if you’re looking for adequate lodging that is close to a good portion of Seward’s shops, this is a good fit.
