We rented two condos (the two on the top floor) for our family of ten. It worked out great because we could go from one to the other easily and when the kids went to bed, the adults could hang out in the other condo. There was plenty place was very clean and had many spices, dishes and kitchen appliances and equipment to use for making meals. We were about ten minutes from downtown Seward. It was a great location for exploring and it was very quiet.

Our family of 5 adults had an amazing stay at this cabin. It is cozy and has everything we needed to cook & stay for a couple of days. We liked the location a lot, a few minutes away from Seward and 15mn drive to the Harding Icefield parking lot. Would definitely book again the exact same place for our next trip in Alaska!

My own mistake was not realizing this was a second floor walk up. Had my 80 year old parents. It was a struggle to get them and luggage up a lot of steps.Very nice place in a good location. Clean and had everything we needed. I didn’t like the coin operated in unit laundry. We didn’t use it as everywhere else had free laundry. The tub is very noisy. Must not be supported well underneath but had good water pressure. Kitchen was well stocked. Keep in mind there is no tv other than streaming and the internet was wonky. Router is on the unit below so your at their mercy to reset. We kept all our phones off the internet when trying to watch tv. The men were frustrated trying to watch but that’s not important to everyone so may not matter. Owner was very receptive to trying to help us out.

The cabin was amazing! We stayed in the mountain view suite and it was true to it's name! Amazing view of the mountains! Cabin was super clean, plenty of space for our group of 4. Was also stocked very well with paper products, dishes, dishwasher and laundry soap. We had a mother moose and her 2 babies hang out in the front and side of the cabin our first and last mornings. Cabin is far enough away from town to feel more secluded, but close enough to get what you need. Overall an amazing place, would definitely return!

Great property for family

Very clean & host was very easy to work with. Stayed 6 nights with 3 kids ages 11-16. Utilized the pull-out couch. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare breakfasts & 3 dinners. BBQ on deck was great to enjoy local fish. Just north of “downtown.” Most everything was ~10 min drive away. So grateful for washer/dryer in bathroom, but wish it didn’t require coins. Would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Kristi Akana

Host profile image
We are Jimmy and Kristi Akana, the proud owners of Pacific Heights Lodging. Jimmy is a Fishing Charter Captain of a local operation here in Seward. Kristi is a former Elementary and Special Education Teacher that now devotes her time and energy ensuring all their guests have everything they need while enjoying their stay here in Seward. We finally accomplished our dream of being a Seward Host to family and both old and new friends from near and afar.

Why they chose this property

Our small Lodge differs from most typical Seward rentals as it is totally Brand New! We wanted our guests to enjoy Alaska's beauty while only being minutes from town hence why we chose this piece of land to build on. Our Lodge is located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood yet only a few miles from the Seward Small Boat Harbor and Downtown. Construction of Pacific Heights Lodging was completed in June of 2017.

What makes this property unique

When constructing our Lodge we made sure to include amenities that would make our guests comfortable and feel at home. We designed our Lodge with modern Suites that include contemporary furnishings, appliances, and fixtures. We also chose to splurge and include In-Floor Heating and a top of the line Heating and Circulation Ventilation System for the enjoyment of our guests.
