Seahorse Cottage- ocean view family home

Seahorse Cottage is a cheerful, light-filled, immaculately clean cottage that you will love to call your home away from home. Ideally located in downtown Seward: 1 block from the bay and waterfront playground, 1/2 block from library, 1.5 blocks from post office, and 3 blocks from the Alaska SeaLife Center. Fantastic views of Resurrection Bay. Watch the sun come up over Mt. Alice while you enjoy your cup of coffee from the back deck, and catch the sun's last rays from the living room couch.

Well equipped, cozy cottage. We have everything you need to feel right at home, whether it's for one night or a couple of weeks. 2 bedrooms- queen bed in one, and twin bunk beds in the other. The living room couch is a high-quality futon. Sleeps six. Fully stocked kitchen with a large fridge and freezer for fish you catch. Front-loading washer and dryer. On-demand hot water (a wonderful thing!). More books than you'd be able to read in a year. Smart TV with DVD player. Wifi. Board games and puzzles. Linens and extras. Basic toiletries. Hairdryer. Patio furniture, fire pit, even raspberries available to pick in August. If you have small children, let us know in advance, and we will stock the second bedroom with some toys for them. If you have any special requests during your stay, let us know, and we will do our best to fill them!

Seward's sales and occupancy tax of 11% is INCLUDED in quoted prices.
All prices are based on quadruple occupancy.
Children under 18 free.
$15 for each additional adult guest.
Maximum of 6 people in this unit.

We love to meet our guests, but also know that some prefer their privacy. We have electronic locks on our doors, so no need to pick up a key. Access codes will be provided 2 weeks prior to your stay. If you have time during your stay, join us at the Sea Bean cafe (225 4th Ave) for a complimentary wine and social hour nightly from 5-6 p.m. (summer season only; mid-May through mid-Sept)

Quiet residential neighborhood ideally located 1 block from waterfront, and 2 blocks from downtown district.

You could live here and not need a car at all- we are two blocks from downtown shops and restaurants, half a mile from the harbor, and about a mile from Safeway, the local grocery store. Public shuttle transport is available for those coming in on the train (and motorcoaches)- the closest stop is 1 block away. Let us know if you need help with your luggage! Access the waterfront bike path 1 block from us. Mt. Marathon hiking trails are also just a couple of blocks away.

The house was extremely clean and comfortable. The view from the back deck was wonderful! The kitchen was plenty large and we were able to cook meals with no issues. Really liked the location as it was walkable to everywhere in town. Would stay again if we return to the area!

Great location and a great property!
Excellent family place for us and our boys. It was very clean with a fun cottage atmosphere. The location couldn't be beat, we could walk to the beach, parks, and many of the shops and restaurants of Seward. Would recommend!

Great Location
Pro's: Nestled in a small neighborhood within walking distance to shops and restaurants and the beach. Very clean home, nice view! The host even provides detergent if you need to do laundry. Also very chill and easy exit procedures. only cons (in my opinion) - the futon provided is incredibly old, thin and very worn. It's very challenging to get a good nights rest while sleeping on it. The original posting says "sleeps 6" but that would be incredibly difficult unless most guests were kids. Also the bunk beds are very small and could only fit kids and/or a smaller sized person. Im not sure the futon could fit 2 comfortably. Id say that it sleeps 5, not 6. overall, good location and nice hosts.

Cute & Cozy
We loved our stay at Seahorse Cottage! It’s cute, cozy and offered the perfect relaxing evening, sitting by the window gazing out at the water. Nice hot water and a comfy bed too - just perfect for rest and relaxation.

Fantastic for Kids
We had the best time in Seward, such a cute place and located so conveniently in walking distance to the library and the park, it was perfect for outings with little ones, and the teens and adults loved gathering around the table or relaxing in the living room with views of the water and mountains, or stepping out onto the deck or seeing the mountains through the top of the bathroom window, too. It had everything we needed.
