About this property

1 Block from the Bay!

2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, Sleeps 5 to 6

Also known as Captain's Quarters. Conveniently located halfway between the Seward small boat harbor and Seward´s historic downtown. Both are within a short walking distance along a coastal trail that is just one block from the front door. The trail is part of the original Iditarod Trail. Very clean and private with 2 bedrooms, a full kitchen, wifi, DirectTV/DVD, Washer and Dryer and a BBQ. this unit also has a futon style couch that folds flat and could sleep one to two more people. Bringing the total to 6 people. Adjacent to our other vacation rental unit (VRBO Listing #738304). This is great for someone who is wanting to have a rental for 8 to 10 people, as the two units are side by side. Owned and operated by a 4´th generation Seward, Alaskan.

A great little place within walking distance to basically everything Seward has to offer downtown. There is only heat in the living area so if you tend to get cold and are visiting during the shoulder/colder seasons, it’s something to consider. The place was clean and having laundry was a really great bonus! Thanks for hosting us!

What a wonderful evening to spent enjoying the Reservation Bay view with the binoculars to look for wildlife! The mountains were alive in the apenglow of the evening sun. We even saw seals from the balcony! Perfect space for a grandmother and two grandchildren. They loved it as much as I did and for teenagers to say that, you know it's a good place to stay! Close to the bay to explore, close to restaurants, close to events to go and see. What more could you ask for!

Relaxed, comfy stay in Seward!

I spent two nights here on a work trip. It was very clean, well-maintained, a block from Waterfront Park, and close to everything else. All the appliances worked well, it was stocked with coffee and tea, and the bed and couches were comfy!
