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.

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!

Please don't judge a book by its cover! The area and outside is a little weathered, but the inside was clean and the amenities were top of the line. It was a perfect location to the marina for early morning fishing trips

Comfortable Stay

We enjoyed our night at this property. The location was perfect for whatever a guest would choose to do in Seward. We centered our visit around a cruise of Kenai Fjords and we could reach the small boat harbor quickly. Consider this property for your visit to Seward!

This was a neat, quiet property. It was close to a nice walking path that skirted the harbor area. The apartment was neat and tidy, and the lawn was freshly mown. I would recommend this spot and stay here again!

Very comfortable and convenient!

This well-equipped home was perfect for the 4 of us women. I slept on the couch, which wasn’t as comfortable as the beds, but the home was well-equipped in the kitchen, had a washer and dryer, and was located near downtown and the harbor. We needed bedding for the couch and owners were very responsive in bringing it over.

My stay dates got messed up

For some reason, my stay dates got messed up and I was scheduled for days I didn’t request. Indeed, those were days I never would have requested as I was out of state. I paid and tried to connect with VRBO. I admit I hadn’t checked the initial confirmation, but have never before had such a problem with VRBO. So we had no place to stay. Never again will I use the service and recommend that others beware.

Immaculate Unit & Wonderful Owners

We stay in vacation rentals all over the US, but the best one ever has been in our backyard! Tim & his wife were the most helpful and accommodating hosts. We had a perfect Alaska reunion with family and friends! On top of that, honestly these were the cleanest rentals I have ever been in, and this sentiment was shared by all of ten of us who stayed in the two units. The bathrooms fairly gleamed, and the towels were soft and smelled freshly washed. I always am a bit hesitant in rentals because I am a clean freak, but I felt completely at home here. You can tell the owners are the ones maintaining the property, as a cleaning service doesn't give that kind of attention to the property. But the owners here have a real sense of pride in their property and it shows. It isn't next to the water, but the ocean is only a block away and easily only a 2 minute walk. I would most certainly highly recommend this rental to everyone!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, communication
The hostess did not communicate after I emailed her. I had to call her. Then she gave me the wrong apartment. She gave me the code and I walked in and there were other people's belongings in the apartment. She gave me another place but the whole place smelled old and stale. Both bedrooms smelled like urine and sweat. The bathroom was moldy. It was too late to get a different night stay because everything was booked up. The old building is actually a doublewide trailer or manufactured home. I would not recommend this place.

1 block from the bay

Good: Communication with the property manager was great. He even allowed us to add one extra person to the reservation after we booked. He was amazing by allowing us to check in as soon as we got off the train which was so incredibly helpful. We received the code at an appropriate time before check in. It is 1 block from the bay and approximately 2 blocks from the cities free shuttle. People in the neighborhood seemed very nice and even offered us a ride when they saw us pulling our luggage. Bad: It was pouring down rain and we had to trek our luggage 2 blocks from the free shuttle, up hill. 3 of us are younger and it wasn't such and issue, but we had our mothers with us so that made things more challenging. The trailer was a bit run down but to be honest we were in a small Alaskan town so its different than a big city. The cleaning left a bit to be desired. There was a huge cobweb in the main bedroom, a dirty hand towel on the bathroom sink that I'm assuming the cleaning crew just forgot and the front bedroom and bathroom windows were left wide open so one of the beds had a huge wet spot from the rain pouring in. The neighbors wake early and are very chatty so since we shared a wall, we too were up early.
