Retro 50's charm with modern amenities.

This charming 1 bedroom is located just 1 block from Resurrection Bay and the Sea Life Center and 1 street over from downtown shops and restaurants. One of Sewards oldest buildings and originally a boarding house from the old railroad days, come stay and be part of Sewards history. Speaking of history, we are right behind the museum/library. This rental has been totally renovated but we kept some of the old charm. Kitchen has single hot plate burner, convection oven, microwave and refrigerator. Also 1 bedroom, bathroom and living space. We are quiet building and observe quiet hours. We have local residents who also live in the building. We provide employment opportunity for a local resident with your cleaning fee. Parking is free in the front of the building. Great walking path 1 block away that leads to the small boat harbor 1 mile away. This property is not very well suited for 4 adults. Best for 2 adults and 2 small children or less.

Cute and cozy condo
We stayed in 8 different places during our Alaska trip, and this condo was our favorite! Charming, comfortable, and quiet, with everything we needed and in a super location. It's small and you probably can't cook a gourmet meal in the kitchen but for our three days in Seward it was perfect.

Two night stay prior to cruise
Our stay was nice. The location was a little too far from the cruise port. With luggage the free shuttle was a little inconvenient. The bed was comfy. It was very quiet, however my wife ran out of hot water and had to take a cold shower, that wasn’t pleasant.

The location of this property is perfect, you are right in the down town area. Everything you could want is within walking distance; dinner, hiking, shopping, etc. I much prefer this area verse staying in the harbor area. It feels as if you are a local in this area as opposed to a tourist. The apartment itself has everything you need and more, not to mention the bed is super comfy and the kitchen is stocking with everything you need to prep a meal or enjoy a cup of coffee. The host Shelly was an amazing communicator. Instructions for check-in and checkout were very clear and easy! Her response times were speedy!

Great stay
We loved the cozy apartment. It’s located downtown so you can walk most places. We found a spot to park our car out front easily every time. It’s an easy walk to the sea life aquarium and our favorite restaurant, the cookery. It’s just a few minutes drive to the visitors center and cruise port. The apartment was small but efficient. We had everything we needed and I loved the couch which allowed me to read in the morning while my husband slept late. The Kuerig was nice to have. The host was responsive and the check in process was great. I definitely recommend!

Awesome Alternative to Hotel!!!!
Adorable and functional unit. Top floor, peek-a-boo bay view, surprisingly quiet less some bumps and knocks here and there in the building. The airflow is awesome and we were so thankful for the the black-out curtains! Fast & friendly communication with the host and the location is absolutely unbeatable. I travel to Seward 4-5 times a year and am looking forward to bookmarking this unit to use again. Ten stars out of five.

Weekend gateway
Loved the history of the building and its location! It was quiet and the tub, bed and pillows were fantastic! Dining chairs and table are high and uncomfortable for casual eating/morning coffee and the coffee pot pictured isn't there, a keurig coffee maker (listed in the description) is there instead. And if you plan on reheating food, bring paper plates as the plates here were not microwave safe.

Cute retro apartment with everything you need!
Loved this retro apartment! It had everything I could possibly need, all set out beautifully. Really appreciated the extra touches that were left and I felt very at home. I spent three nights here, such a great location and a quiet neighbourhood. The bed was soooo comfy and I slept very well. Shelly was so welcoming and helpful, even before check in. Would definitely stay again if I come back to Seward!!

Unwind after 7 day cruise
My husband and I decided to stay in Seward for a couple of days after our cruise to just relax. The unit was just as described, bathroom was fully stocked. Very comfortable bed and plenty of pillows. Location was ideal to walking around the quiet little town. We used the toaster oven to cook a pizza since we decided to stay in one night. Only thing I wish unit had was a microwave to pop some pop corn but other than that the unit was perfect. Hopefully we can come back for a longer stay.
