You can easily walk around downtown or take a stroll down the waterfront bike path that leads to the harbor. There are also shuttles that pick up from the Sea Life Center if you want to venture farther out. Coast and Clay is in the middle of the historic business district that's great to walk around. Taxi rides are usually $15-20 around town with a free shuttle typically available in front of the Sea Life Center during summer hours. There is also a shuttle to Exit Glacier in Kenai Fjords National Park that picks up at the Sea Life Center or at Exit Glacier Guides. One thing to keep in mind is that the property is in very close proximity of the neighbors. We ask that guests please be respectful of property lines and to keep in mind that downtown tends to be a high traffic area. Please be aware that the home is not child proof. Also, there is a dog that lives in the home September - April. Although the home has mostly hard floors and we shampoo the carpeted bedrooms before each summer rental season, it might not be the best place for someone who is allergic to dogs. Other things to note: The gallery will be conducting business during business hours. There is a dog on the property sometimes. Must be comfortable with stairs - and due to the age of the home - the stairs can be squeaky! We do not allow processing of fish on property. ----- This Rental Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into to be effective on the date of guest booking confirmation (the “Effective Date”), by and between Seward Vacation Stays LLC | Seward Properties LLC, whose mailing address is P.O.

Guest understands that there are no refunds or reductions to the Rent for early departures or late arrivals, no matter the cause. 3. Communication. Guest consent to receive email, phone calls and/or text messages (SMS) from Seward Vacation Stays and its hosts and co-hosts. 4. Cancellation Policy. a. Cancellation by Guest. Unless otherwise provided herein, if Guest cancels at least 7 days prior to the start of the Term, Manager will refund all pre-paid Rent to Guest, except the processing fees. Because Guest’s reservation precludes other rentals of the Premises, Guest agrees that if Guest cancels or shortens its stay less than 7 days prior to the start of the Term, for any reason, Rent is non-refundable to Guest. Guest understands and agrees that the processing fee is non-refundable regardless of when a cancellation is made and will not be returned to Guest under any circumstances. b. Cancellations by Manager. Manager reserves the right to unilaterally terminate this Agreement for any reason within 24 hours of the Effective Date by providing notice of termination to Guest. After this 24-hour time period, Manager reserves the right to unilaterally terminate this Agreement should circumstances arise that are outside of Manager’s control, including without limitation the following circumstances: (i) if the Premises become unavailable prior to the Term due to structural damage, leaks, fire or other conditions that would make the Premises potentially unsafe or uninhabitable for Guest; (ii) sale of the Premises; (iii) transfer of the Premises out of Manager’s property management program; or (iv) force majeure. For the purposes of this Agreement, “force majeure” includes power outages, governmental or quasi-governmental laws, regulations, and orders, pandemics, including without limitation COVID-19, riots, war, natural disasters, or other circumstances of a like nature outside the control of Manager. Manager will notify Guest of such circumstances as soon as is practicable. If Guest desires to be transferred to alternative premises, Manager will make reasonable efforts to relocate the Guest to a reasonably comparable property. In such case, the Guest agrees to pay any increase in rental charges, fees and taxes associated with the alternative premises should those premises normally rent for a greater rental fee. If Manager is unable to secure a reasonably comparable property for Guest, Manager will refund all pre-paid Rent to Guest and this Agreement shall automatically terminate. Said refund shall be the full extent of Manager’s liability to Guest in such circumstances, and Guest understands and agrees that Manager will not be responsible or liable for any other costs or expenses in connection with cancellations pursuant to this section. 5. Security Deposit. The purpose of a refundable security deposit is for general property upkeep and to repair minor, accidental damage caused by Guest or Rental Party during the Term. Whether damage is considered minor and accidental is in the sole discretion of the Manager, and Guest by booking the property below acknowledges the same. If the Manager determines the damage is accidental and minor and Guest timely reports said damage to Manager (which, at a minimum, means reporting prior to departure), the Security Deposit in part or in whole will cover such minor, accidental damage. Timely reporting of any damage during the Term is critical. Guest understands that in the event damage exceeds minor accidental damage, Guest will be responsible for those amounts above the Security Deposit Fee. 6. Channel Terms. If you are booking through a third-party marketing channel, your booking may be subject to that channel’s own terms and conditions (“Channel Terms”). If any provision of applicable Channel Terms differs from the Terms in this Agreement, the provision of the Channel Terms will control. 7. Use and Occupancy of the Premises; House Rules. a. Guest shall use and occupy the Premises in a careful, safe and proper manner and in compliance with all laws, regulations, orders, covenants, and rules applicable to the Premises.

Guest agrees not to damage or deface the Premises in any manner. Guest shall immediately report any loss or damage to Manager. Guest is responsible for all losses and damage to the Premises and property therein during the Term, and Manager is authorized to charge Guest for the cost of all repairs. c.
