My husband and I decided to stay in Seward for a couple of days after our cruise to just relax.
The unit was just as described, bathroom was fully stocked. Very comfortable bed and plenty of pillows. Location was ideal to walking around the quiet little town.
We used the toaster oven to cook a pizza since we decided to stay in one night.
Only thing I wish unit had was a microwave to pop some pop corn but other than that the unit was perfect.
Hopefully we can come back for a longer stay.

This apartment is really cute and decorated with love. From a guest‘s point of view it would be of advantage to have more space and less decor. Eg in the bathroom and in the kitchen one could use one wall for boards instead of decor. That would make the apartment more flexible for the guests who bring a lot of staff with them. But still this apartment is clean, lovely and cute. We would definitely come back.

We enjoyed our 3 nights at this property. The downtown Seward location was perfect for walking to most restaurants and tours in the immediate area. Overall, a very clean unit in a historic building. Fully remodeled. Communication with the property owner was 100% timely and thorough. We appreciated this as entry to the property would be confusing w/o this communication.

Small spot, but very cute. Had everything we needed. There was even bear spray and bug spray, and we were unable to bring our bear spray on the plane. What forethought!

The apartment is right in town within walkable distance to all shops and restaurants downtown and a short drive to the docks and activities. The hosts were fantastic about sending clear instructions and recommendations in advance like where to eat and what to do!
Clean, with all the basics you need in between enjoying Seward.

This was a great location near downtown area but a mile walk to the small boat harbor. The building was very old (historic) and a bit dilapidated but the interior was just fine and comfortable. Shelley was great to work with.

We loved staying here for our Seward visit. Shelly was super clear about check in and check out— communication was wonderful. She gave us so many helpful suggestions before our trip, which was very helpful. The apartment was so cute and had every that we needed for our stay. The location was perfect— we could walk to most of the restaurants and places we wanted to explore. The bed was super comfortable and cozy. We will definitely stay here again if we get a chance to return.

Convenient location in Seward
We had a nice stay in this rental. Well equipped for our few days on the coast. Bed was very comfortable. Kitchen was certainly adequate for us to prep for breakfast and lunch. We tended to eat out for supper. Host was super responsive and helpful. Location was great!

Great Stay
While we were only in Seward for one night, we loved this cozy apartment and it looks exactly as described: 50's charm with modern amenities.
The location was fantastic and close to everything downtown.
Communication was easy, would stay again for sure.

Family of 4….it was a tight squeeze but Shelley warned me ahead of time. It was fine for us, but all we did was sleep there and we are seasoned travelers. Would be a perfect spot for a couple to stay. Clean, perfect location and great owner. Only drawback is no laundry, but the laundry mat is close by and clean and easy to run over to. Bed was very comfortable! Windows with screens….a must in Alaska to enjoy the cool weather minus the mosquitos! 😂 Would 100% stay again!

Relaxing in Seward
Definitely lived up to the photos & descriptions. Excellent wifi & streaming, loved the sweet memory-foam style mattress & reliably hot shower water, and really enjoyed the bay dawn scene out of the south-facing kitchen windows. The retro 50s-style appliance vibe was classy, and the location excellent for easy strolling about the town.

This Vrbo was great! I found everything as pictured and described in the listing. Within walking distance of the lovely Resurrect Art coffee shop. I would stay here again if I was traveling solo again or with my spouse. A note for families: this space is small! I would stay here with one small child or maybe two if they could share the futon. Otherwise, for my family of 4 (girl age 8 and boy age 10) I would need to book a bigger place.

Small great place
What a quaint little place... though small it packs a punch of charm. Great location to shops, the sea life center and the bay. Has all the necessities needed in the kitchen to make meals without having a stove/oven. Was a super comfy stay.

We loved this cozy apartment. We stayed two nights and the essentials came in handy! I wouldn't recommend more than two adults as it is quaint. The decor is adorable, the location is unbeatable and the hosts were kind and communicable.
