Perfect

This place was perfect for our 3 day stay. Walking distance to many restaurants and the Alaska Sea Life Center. Short drive to the docks where you can take a cruise around Resurrection Bay. Kitchen area was just enough to make easy morning coffee and breakfast. If we ever come back to Seward would definitely stay there again.

Experiencing Seward before Cruising Alaska

Awesome location and perfect accommodations! Shelly was really helpful on some restaurant suggestions and was able to get me into the unit early so I could explore Seward during my 24-hour stay. If I’m back in Seward, I hope to be a repeat guest at Shelly’s place.

Great studio!

The studio is perfect for a couple. First: location was 10/10. The town of Seward is tiny so everything was within 5 min driving but there was also plenty within 5 min walking distance of the apartment too! The unit itself was plenty big for 2 people for a few days. The kitchen was stocked and had what we needed. The bathroom was simple but functional. The shower was a little small if you’re over 6 foot tall but we had plenty of hot water and that’s what we care more about! Very comfy and cozy for us, we. Enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful place

Our host was able to get us in early which worked out very well for us. The host is very responsive and easy to communicate with. It was very clean and a great space. The couch with the foam topper was very comfortable. This space is right by downtown and not far from a free shuttle stop. Noise from the upstairs apartment was a little bothersome but not that bad.

Very cute, nicely decorated studio apt in a great Seward location. Shops, restaurants and the aquarium are all within a few blocks. The harbor is about 1.5 miles away, you can walk the trail along the bay or catch a ride on the free shuttle.

a great place to stay in Seward

My family and I enjoyed a night here in Seward after taking the Alaska Railroad into town. We worked with orange bike delivery service to handle our luggage while we waited to check in and after we checked out the next morning. The apartment is easy to find, very clean and comfortable! Communication was very quick and helpful. I would definitely stay here again if we make it back to Seward!

Great place that satisfied all our needs

We felt right at home during our 3 nights in this apartment. We cooked dinner two of the nights, and if the kitchen didn't have it, there was a Safeway a short drive away. We enjoyed the walkability to nearly anything you'd want to do in Seward. We definitely recommend!
