1 Block From The Beach!

2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, Sleeps 4

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. Adjacent to our other vacation rental unit (VRBO Listing #971600). 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.

The home was easy to find and walkable to downtown. The beds were comfy. We only stayed one night and did not spend much time in the house so I cannot speak to the functioning of the appliances. The inside was nothing amazing but was fine for one night.

Between the Harbor and Downtown

The home was very comfortable and clean. I would stay here again. Host was responsive. Beds were cozy and we both slept well. Room darkening shades in the bedrooms..The shore, the harbor, and downtown were all walkable. The large picture window in the living room facing the parking lot is unencumbered by a curtain.
