Cozy and Comfortable!

We LOVED our stay at Marathon by the Sea - the bed was so extremely comfortable and cozy. Great location- we walked a block to the courthouse to get married! Well stocked with kitchen gadgets and serve ware, as well as extra blankets and towels. Host was so very kind and promptly responded whenever we reached out. We most definitely recommend!

Quaint and Convenient

Great option for a few days. The apartment is an easy walk to the water, the Sea Life Center, the brewery, and downtown restaurants. Internet speed is great for making travel/excursion arrangements and entertainment. Everything was clean and welcoming. We enjoyed the museum located in the library and were able to also see the movie about the 1964 earthquake--shown once a day for a separate fee. Highly recommend the movie.

Great space for our needs

This was a perfect place for our short stay. Right in the middle of downtown, this small apartment gave us a place to drop our bags and explore the town. It is perfect for two people and a bit tight for four (especially with two teenage boys at the end of a long trip!), but this was no surprise given the description of the property on the platform. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for a quick meal and coffee. We met the host on the way in who was gracious with his time and the information he shared about the area. The host was communicative and kind from start to finish. We would gladly stay here again when back in downtown Seward.

About the host

Hosted by Shelly Lindell

We love the great Alaskan outdoors. Love to bike, hike, camp, fish, ski snowboard and raft Matt and I re both from the Midwest - MN and IA. We met in Denver and moved to Alaska in 2002. We absolutely love traveling and being hosts, mostly to share stories and adventures. When we get a chance to talk with our guests, it renews our love for our home and community. We are so blessed. We want to share this blessing with everyone.

Why they chose this property

it is one of the oldest buildings in Seward and we loved the history and the possibilities to bring it back to life. We have worked hard to provide a nice clean quaint and quiet place to stay. We have local residents in the building who you may run into out and about. Some are born and raised in Seward!!

What makes this property unique

So close to everything! this building was origianlly a boarding house for railroad workers and others in the early 1900's and survived the 1964 earthquake and tsunami. This property is very unique. It is one of Seward's oldest buildings build in either 1905 or 1906. It was a boarding house to the railroad workers in the early 1900's. It survived the 1964 earthquake tsunami. In 2017, we bought this run down virtually empty building and spent every weekend for 6 years coming down from Anchorage and renovating the entire place. Just my husband and I. We have finally moved to Seward and love this amazing community. We hope you love what we have done to restore history.
