This place was perfect for our stay! Great location and very comfortable. We arrived a little earlier than we intended, and were able to check in early. Great responsiveness. Would highly recommend!
Wonderfully peaceful visit. Easy parking right out front. Modern appliances, super clean and comfortable with plenty of space. Very responsive owner leading up to stay.
Had a great stay. Comfy house, great location and everything you could want. Enjoyed sitting in front porch in the am sipping on coffee and planning the day. Great 3 night stay
Perfect location for your Seward adventure. Property is perfectly renovated but has a retro vibe. You can walk to a multitude of restaurants and shops downtown. It was a very enjoyable stay. Can highly recommend.
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!
We stayed for 2 nights in Seward as part of a 2 week Alaska vacation. Salty Sam’s was perfect. The house is cute and clean. It had everything we needed. The location was great. We were able to walk to most places. I would definitely stay there again!
What a cute adorable house and decorated beautifully. Perfect for 4 adults had everything we needed. Comfy bed even the pull out sofa. Nice quiet area. Easy check in. Will definitely stay again.
The communication with the hosts was excellent. The place was very clean. The location was great (you are two short blocks from the water, about a mile from the busy shops downtown, and the neighborhood was quite.) Bottom line, if I came back to Seward I would look into Salty Sam's availability.
We stayed here for a week. Very cute, comfy house. Well stocked with the essentials in kitchen/bathroom. Plenty of games/movies for entertainment. Great location to walk around and see the town/shop/restaurants. Loved our stay!
We loved our stay at Salty Sam's! The cottage was clean, cozy and just perfect for our family of five (one kiddo in a pack n' play). The location is perfection! We walked to the park, restaurants, shopping and even the post office (to drop off Alaska postcards). The host had great communication, an easy check-in process and provided everything we needed. The cottage even smelled wonderful! Thanks for a great stay in Seward! HIGHLY recommend Salty Sam's for anyone looking for a rental in Alaska!
Salty Sam's was a great landing pad for all our Seward adventures. Excellent location, within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Although the cabin is a bit older, it was very clean and comfortable. We loved the VHS collection! We would absolutely stay here again.
Each year my husband and I come to Seward for a fishing trip. This is our second stay at Salty Sam's. We love it. We now refer to it as "our vacation house" when we talk about it with our friends. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone staying in Seward area. It's a great location and house is comfortable and adorable.
Everything was beyond wonderful. Host thought of everything we would need in a home away from our own home. We were comfortable and had all we needed at our fingertips. Highly recommend to travelers in the Seward/Kenai area. Thanks again for making our stay memorable!
Quaint, clean little cottage. We were glad we shared the space with another couple for only 1 night. The bathroom being in the bedroom
was a little awkward, but it worked!
Very clean, newer kitchen and bathroom. Nice comfortable bed. Grandchildren on hideaway. They had a blast with great selection of VHS videos. New to them. Location very close to tourist area.

Salty Sam's felt like home. We are from the Aleutians and noticed Tustumena art around the home - it felt very comfortable and familiar. We loved it! Thank you, Annette
We loved staying at Salty Sams. It was so cute, comfortable, and conveniently located. We wished we could have stayed longer. Also the hosts were super helpful in advance of our trip in terms of providing guidance related to activities in the area. The Kenai Fjords boat trip that was recommended was a highlight of our trip, and we also enjoyed short hikes that were recommended by the hosts. We would love to return to Salty Sam's at some point on a future trip! Seward is so fun.
This spot was perfect, really well-decorated and Super Cute! They took a lot of care to decorate and make things cheerful and homey. Very clean, close to dining, shopping and activities, plenty of space. They contacted us with additional suggestions for things to do in Seward. We would highly recommend them to anyone traveling there. Thank you!! John and Amy
We loved the quaint little cottage. The location is perfect for downtown. We couldn’t get a rental as they were sold out and we managed perfectly with the location taxi companies that are very efficient. The kitchen of this little cottage is freshly remodeled and top quality. The kitchen will not disappoint! The check in team and the cleaning crew were exceptional. We enjoyed interacting with all of them.
