About this house rental

Seward Beachside Bungalow is located in Seward, Alaska, gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park and one of the most scenic areas of Alaska.

The Beachside Bungalow is a two bedroom rental house conveniently located midway between the small boat harbor and downtown Seward, each a short 10 minute walk from your doorstep. This charming coastal cottage is fully equipped for a comfortable vacation. Resurrection Bay is less than a minute walk from your doorstep. There are many excellent hiking and backpacking opportunities nearby. Easy access to glacier tours and fishing charters is within walking distance. After a day of adventuring, relaxing, or sightseeing, the town of Seward is a nice place to dine, shop, or enjoy a nice walk along Resurrection Bay. Seward Beachside Bungalow is a great place to enjoy all that Seward has to offer.

The entire house is for the guests to enjoy. It is newly remodeled and nicely furnished. The house is small - approximately 650 sf. There are two bedrooms that can sleep up to four, but is most comfortable for three guests. There is a queen bed in one bedroom and a twin bed in the other. There is a trundle bed beneath the twin bed that can be used for a 4th person if needed. The Bungalow has a fully furnished kitchen so you can prepare your own meals, a washer and dryer, a nice comfortable sitting area/living room, and a wonderful fenced yard with a picnic table, grill and chairs to enjoy the scenery. We have room darkening shades in both bedrooms which are a must for sleeping in Alaska in the summer.

This property was perfect for us and our two teen boys. Robb thought of everything and was super responsive to any of our questions or requests. The blackout curtains were awesome and slowed everyone to get enough rest. We stay nearly exclusively at VRBOs and this one was definitely 5*s!

Adorable, convenient, and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better location/place to stay. I have family working in Seward and if I return I will most definitely stay here again. The icing on the cake was that the owner was super easy to work with and he was over the top accommodating.

We loved the location of the bungalow in Seward. Within walking distance to everything in the town. Great to have a full kitchen and washer and dryer to use. The bed was very comfortable and the owners are very quick in their response time if you have any questions. We would stay there again.

Wonderful week

Wonderful week

This location was perfect for us and we were very comfortable all week. We felt at home and never felt unsafe or bothered by noise. The washer and dryer were very much appreciated. Wifi and tv were great. There isn't a lot of storage in the house so we did not unpack but never had a problem finding our belongings. Sitting on one sofa, you have a nice view of the water. We cooked several meals while we were there and had everything we needed. The bedroom is very dark at night for those who are bothered by the long daylight hours. The hot water was amazing. Even though it was a cool week, we never felt need for the heater. We would definitely stay here again.

Seward Cottage

Seward Cottage

Love this cottage. Plenty of room for the three of us. Lovely decor. A very peaceful home base from all the 4th of July activities. Even though we had a car we walked to boat harbor, to the shops in downtown Seward and along the beach. I highly recommend this rental!

Seward Beachside Bungalow

Seward Beachside Bungalow

This was a cozy little cottage and our home away from home for 3 days. It was perfect for our family of 4. My kids loved the bunk beds. The cottage was equipped with most things you would need. The cottage is located within walking distance of most places including the Harbor and Sea life Center. It is quiet and you have beautiful views of the mountains from the living room. The owner had provided detailed instructions on accessing the internet, troubleshooting the heating unit and other general things, which was very thoughtful of him. The cottage was clean and the kitchen was well equipped.

We stayed in Seward for 4 nights post cruise and were so glad we found this property. It is perfectly situated within walking distance of the Harbour at one end of town and the Sea Life Centre at the other. And the owner was very responsive - when we arrived to find the fridge was not working he showed up very quickly with some ice to save our groceries and then came back shortly thereafter with a new fridge! The house has beds for 4 people but we squeezed in one extra who slept on the comfy lounge with no problems at all (a blow up bed is also available). The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and utensils to enable us to do some cooking as well. Do yourself a favour and skip the high priced hotels and stay here!

Excellent Seward Harbor Hideaway

Excellent Seward Harbor Hideaway

My dad and I came up from Seattle for a Seward Silver salmon fishing trip. The weather and the charter were a bust, but the saving grace was this awesome little hideaway in downtown Seward. This property is super-clean and totally updated with all of the amenities. 2 bedrooms, and a full bath with full kitchen, and living area. All were updated, with coastal interior colors and decor. Cable tv and wifi were nice little adds. There is a washer and dryer for your convenience as well. All in all a very clean and updated property, and am looking forward to staying here again in the future.

Beautiful weekend!

Absolutely loved our stay here! I've lived in AK for 11 years and we had the most gorgeous weather I have ever seen in Seward. That was a huge plus. But also this house is adorable, very very clean and excellent location. I rode my bike everywhere and had a blast. I will book this place every year and have recommended it to all my friends. Excellent place to stay :) thank you

An Excellent Alaska Oasis

An Excellent Alaska Oasis

A real treat, has everything a person needs to feel at home in a wonderful place like Seward. The owners are very friendly and helpful but respects your privacy. The location is great for walking the seaside parks and into the downtown areas. I wouldn't even bother having a car if you just took the train into Seward from Anchorage and walked to the home for your stay. A 10 minute walk gets you to anyplace you want to go including the touring companies. The home is delightfully decorated and in great condition. The satellite TV and Wifi was a great addition along with BBQ grill in the fenced yard. The kitchen was fully stocked with all cooking equipment and the bedding and linen was all top quality. I highly recommend this home.

EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED!

EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED!

My daughter and I spent 3 nights in this great little cottage. It was exactly what we needed. Immaculate, well cared for and in a great location. Rob, the owner, is very pleasant to talk with. He handles everything in a very busines like yet still very friendly way. I like knowing exactly what to expect. All cottage information is well presented in a notebook easily refered to. The beds were very comfortable and the washer and dryer were much appreciated. This was a great place to stay and should we ever make a return trip to Alaska, we will certainly want to stay in this lovely little cottage. Thank you for sharing your property with us!

We loved our stay in this house. Everything was exceptionally clean and all necessary items were available. I actually thought that the house looks better in reality than in the pictures. The beds were very comfortable, the bathroom functional, very clean, and modern. We liked everything about this house! It was nice to be able to walk everywhere in Seward and not need a car. I will certainly come back again with other visitors in the future.

Great location - easy walk to the boat harbor for tours and fishing, and an easy walk to Down Town, which boast a nice aquatic museum, loads of shops, restaurants, and unique Alaskan Bars! Day trip to Homer is another beautiful trip! The cottage was spacious for two, well appointed, much better than staying in a motel/hotel!

Perfect little cottage with everything we needed for an overnight stay in Seward. We were able to do the Seavey Iditerod Sledding, Sealife Aquarium, Exit Glacier, and dinner all in one day thanks to the cottage's central location!

A great place to spend a few days in Seward and feel at home. We took advantage of the washer/dryer, kitchen, and grill- so much better for us than a hotel room. Conveniently located and beautiful views on all sides.
