Six of us stayed at this Treasure of a home. Cute, clean and comfortable. The home is older but very well kept. One of the cleanest VRBO’s we have ever stayed at. Beds were comfy, linens were nice and plentiful. Host was very responsive. Close to water and downtown. I highly recommend this home.

Just what we needed

The house was in a great location, walkable to many good restaurants and shops. The neighborhood was quiet, away from the harbor and crowds, which is what we were looking for. The house was clean, spatious and comfortable.

Spring Break escape to Seward

We decided on our yearly spring break with the grandchildren to go to Seward. This is the cutest, well appropriated VRBRO that we have stayed in a long time. Lots of room for grandparents, children, and grandchildren to have their own space.perfect to walk to the bay to explore or go to the SeaLife Center. Manager was on the spot immediately to help us get in. Perfect, perfect,perfect!

Cutest little property

We had the best time staying here. It is perfect for families. Everything was comfortable! When we had a question or needed something, they are super quick to respond! We walked around, played on the playground, enjoyed the downtown scene, and had stunning views. This property is a great stay and would recommend!!

Comfortable house and location

This house was great for my son and I as we visited Seward in August 2024. There are portions of the house that are dated, but not uncomfortably so. Everything worked well, the house was well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. Communications with the property manager were quick and friendly. The house is within easy walking distance from restaurants and attractions.

Quaint cottage

Even though this is not a waterfront propery, the location was perfect for our family. Great water views from each side of the house. 1 min walk to waterfront trail and founder's monument. Awesome library/ museum across the street, which my kids loved!!! 2 block walk to mainstreet seward shops, restaurants, and gelato. Most fave part was sitting in lawn chairs basking in sun and watching Northern lights at night :) very clean and kitchen had everything we needed.
