Such a lovely place for 3 women to stay. Clean, neat and creatively decorated in ocean decor! The large kitchen and quaint bathroom appear recently updated. We also enjoyed sitting on the cute front porch during the evenings. Location was walking distance to the beach and downtown Seward. We would highly recommend this cozy home!
