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!

Great location! Older home with charm and a lovely view from the dining room to the bay. Easy walk to the shops and restaurants and a very short drive to the harbor. Worked well for two couples traveling together.

Loved this historic home built in 1905. Located in the quaint town of Seward. Walking distance to the Sea Life Center, shops and restaurants.

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

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.

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.

The house was very convenient to town and other activities in the area! Perfect for families, especially with young children. We appreciated the recommendations to visit the local library next door, along with the neighborhood park and Lowell Point beach area. Our kids enjoyed the selection of games available to play too. Kitchen was fully stocked and there was plenty of room for our multi-generation family of 8. Thank you for a great stay!

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.

Everything worked well in the house. The kitchen was functional, the heater kept us warm, and the large dinning room table and living room suited us well.

My husband and me stayed in this home in homer for our anniversary and it was amazing, the house is decorated with so many historical objects it is like being in your own museum, the views of the bay are spectacular, you can walk to pretty much everything and the host was great!!!

This property was perfect for the four of us. We are 2 couples (sisters and our hubbies). Location was great! The only cons were the downstairs bedroom was really tiny as was the en-suite. We are in Alaska for 15 days, therefore we have a LOT of luggage with no place to put anything. That being said, I would definitely stay here again. The kitchen was fully stocked, and there were plenty of towels for the bathrooms. We loved the cozy vibe of the home.

Really close to water - so we were able to cross the street and see a pair of sea otters swimming in water and running on beach; lots of rain so it was good we had nice accommodations. Quite close to Exit Glacier and we also went on a cruise. The local grocery store (Safeway) isn't too far away, but you'll need to drive. For those that eat out, many restaurants are within walking distance (<5 min). Our family of 6 enjoyed this place.

Cozy cottage with well equipped kitchen. Need to take the shuttle to grocery. Very responsive host!

Great location!!! Nice view of the bay and walking distance to restaurants or a stroll along the waterfront

This is an older property in the old part of Seward close to everything. Great decor and use of the space to make it very comfortable and relaxing. The only thing that would be nice is laundry but certainly not a deal breaker. Owner communication was excellent.

Unfortunately, a cleaning issue can set a bad tone for an otherwise wonderful experience. When we arrived, we had concerns about the cleanliness of the property. We contacted the manager immediately and he re-cleaned the house. Unfortunately, he also made statements like "it is really hard to vacuum this carpet" and "the vacuum does not work well." While I am sure that these issues can be frustrating, they do not lower expectations and a carpet should be clean when renters arrive. It was clean after he "re-cleaned" the house. Similarly, he attributed concerns about other areas (we needed 3 cleaning wipes for the coffee station alone) to the house being old. I grew up in a house 25 years older than this one and things did not get dirty within hours after cleaning. That being said, the problem was resolved by a "re-cleaning" and the house was charming and convenient. We were able to walk to the Sea Life Center, along the beach and to multiple shops and restaurants. The view of the bay was a nice added touch.

I was lucky to fill a spot where a cancellation had occurred. Renting a house far exceeded a hotel and the location was ideal. Tanguy made some excellent restaurant recommendations.

This is a historic home that has been nicely updated with modern conveniences. The location was great. Two streets over is the #1 restaurant in town, ice cream shop, lot of interesting shops plus the Sealife Center & Ressurection Bay, of course! Really appreciated the coffee and water supplies. Comfortable beds. Very communicative owner.

Enjoyable

We loved this house! Charming and well equipped. There was even an iron and ironing board to press our clothes for the wedding. The kitchen is well stocked. Walking distance to everything. Lovely character in a beautiful town.

All was good

Cute little house perfectly located with a fantastic host who was responsive and helpful. We didn’t spend much time in the house, but it was loaded with games and TV/wifi options. This was our first experience using VRBO and the hosts made it an easy process.

We loved our time in Seward. It is an incredibly beautiful place. Tanguy was very helpful and even let us use his extra freezer to store our halibut. I would come back and stay here in a heartbeat.

While it is an older home with its quirks and creaks, the home is spacious and located in an amazing spot. The views of the bay are superb. Minutes from the water front, nice walking trails, restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, Aquarium, and laundromat. Also only 15-20 minute walk from the main harbor. Most of the home is updated, with the exception of the bathroom in the Master Bedroom which could use a spruce up. The upstairs bathroom is ginormous. The kitchen is nicely updated and is stocked with almost everything you need to prepare home cooked meals. We bought fish down at the docks and grilled one night and used the stove another. Plenty of pots, pans, etc. Tanguy is very communicative and has great tips on restaurants and local hikes. We would absolutely stay here again.

We stayed in three different rental houses while in Alaska and this was our favorite. When pulling up to the house, we first noticed the beautiful view of Resurrection Bay. It was only a block from the house and had gorgeous views of the bay and mountains. The house was spacious, clean, and very well organized. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Our kids loved the bedrooms upstairs, especially the small single bed in its own room (perfect for our son). The location was great and walkable to the little shops, cafes and restaurant area. Absolutely fantastic stay in Seward! {Family of five - kids aged 7, 4.5, and 3}

The property is in a great location. There was a great view of/easy walk to the ocean. We were also able to put our name in for dinner, then walk the 1-2 blocks back to the house to wait until a table was ready. The host was very helpful (lived in the house in the back) and friendly. It's an old house, very well appointed. My ONLY ding would be the musty odor (old house near the ocean) and it could use a deep clean. Overall, I would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay. We are a family of four with two teenage sons. We stayed upstairs, my husband and I in the full size bed, one teenager in each of the twin beds upstairs, sharing the upstairs bathroom. My sister and brother-in-law used the first floor bedroom/bathroom. We were glad to have a well stocked kitchen as restaurants in Seward are crowded and generally close by 8 or 9 pm. Check in was easy. There is a keyless entry on both the front and back doors. Upon arrival, there was a locked door preventing us from getting into the entryway with the front door/keypad. We were confused for a minute until my husband found the accessible back door with a keypad. The rest of our family stayed at the nearby Best Western. We enjoyed the 6 hour cruise to see whales, bald eagles, and glaciers. The port and Bay are beautiful. So wonderful to see the coast of Alaska from this cruise, a stunning new angle to photograph. Our boys found a local to take them salmon fishing (catch and release). We hiked up to Exit Glacier on our final day; markers show where the Glacier was by year as you hike to where it is now. It was a lovely walk in the woods on a well-maintained trail. I'm so glad we didn't miss this! We loved our 2 night stay in Seward. Thank you for allowing us to use your rental!

We loved our stay here. It us an excellent location and very comfortable. The owner is very responsive. We would stay again for sure!

My family loved this home. It is in a great location - right near the water. It is an updated older home with lots of character. Wish we would have stayed longer!

This home is in a perfect location in Seward. Being within walking distance to the Harbor and Mount Marathon was perfect for our family. Having black out curtains throughout the home was a definite plus.

We loved this place. This house is perfectly located for getting around Seward. You can walk almost everywhere. And the view of the bay is incredible from several spots in the house, which is spacious. With our kids and my husband's parents, we had seven adult-sized people in the house and were very comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need to make good meals. Beds were comfortable and the drapes throughout the house kept the rooms dar enough for the midnight sun not to keep you awake at all hours. The Owner was exceptionally helpful and super available. Highly recommend this property for visits to Seward. It made our experience there even more enjoyable.

Overall great experience!
