My husband and I spent a few days in Seaward, and all we can say is that we had an amazing time.
Kylee and Clay have absolutely done everything right at their cute little cabin! They have everything you could ever need and more. First, they give you a listing of recommended experiences, which helps out a lot.
They had wonderful communication
The cabin is conveniently located in the heart of Seward. It is probably one of the best properties we have ever stayed at.
We are looking forward to coming back and will tell our friends and family about Salty Sam’s.
Thank you for helping us create lifetime memories.

WOW! I am absolutely in love with Salty Sam's!
After changing my camping plans and searching for a place to stay I landed on Salty Sam's because of how clean, updated, and beautiful it looked in the pictures as well as the prime location near many restaurants/shops, the harbor, and the train station.
This place looks exactly like the photos in person (and with many nice surprises as well) and it is immaculate!! Kylie was also great in providing tons of helpful information about the area and the home leading up to check in which ensured everything was smooth and easy.
I had the best stay here and hope to return to this special place.
Thank you!!!

Each year my husband and I come to Seward for a fishing trip. This is our second stay at Salty Sam's. We love it. We now refer to it as "our vacation house" when we talk about it with our friends. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone staying in Seward area. It's a great location and house is comfortable and adorable.

Quaint, clean little cottage. We were glad we shared the space with another couple for only 1 night. The bathroom being in the bedroom
was a little awkward, but it worked!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sam's. It was very clean and the perfect location in Seward to enjoy the town. The house is well equipped and comfortable. I would recommend it for a short stay.
I know the dated plumbing is mentioned, but flushing the toilet even with one piece of TP makes it gurgle and made us nervous. The shower also did not drain properly.

Everything was beyond wonderful. Host thought of everything we would need in a home away from our own home. We were comfortable and had all we needed at our fingertips. Highly recommend to travelers in the Seward/Kenai area. Thanks again for making our stay memorable!

We loved the quaint little cottage. The location is perfect for downtown. We couldn’t get a rental as they were sold out and we managed perfectly with the location taxi companies that are very efficient. The kitchen of this little cottage is freshly remodeled and top quality. The kitchen will not disappoint! The check in team and the cleaning crew were exceptional. We enjoyed interacting with all of them.

Salty Sam's felt like home. We are from the Aleutians and noticed Tustumena art around the home - it felt very comfortable and familiar. We loved it! Thank you, Annette

We loved staying at Salty Sams. It was so cute, comfortable, and conveniently located. We wished we could have stayed longer. Also the hosts were super helpful in advance of our trip in terms of providing guidance related to activities in the area. The Kenai Fjords boat trip that was recommended was a highlight of our trip, and we also enjoyed short hikes that were recommended by the hosts. We would love to return to Salty Sam's at some point on a future trip! Seward is so fun.

Enjoyed being walking distance to “downtown” bars and restaurants, including the Flamingo. We also were able to see grizzly bear and her cubs using our binoculars and looking at the mountain from the front porch.

We only had one night here before our cruise, but were able to check in early and enjoy this cute little house. It is decorated with great artwork and festive details relating to Alaska and the sea. It was a short walk into town and down to the water. Communication was great with the host, no complaints!

This is a great place in the heart of Seward. Just a couple of blocks from many downtown shops and restaurants. It’s even just two blocks from the beach too. It’s full bedroom and full kitchen was just the right size. We would definitely stay here again.

My daughter and I visited my son in Seward. Alaska spring was beautiful but chilly! I loved the kitchen and cooked several meals. We enjoyed playing board games…real quality time. Saw amazing sea life on KFT tours and got great pics:) Mother’s Day to remember!
