Charming spot close to everything in Seward. Host provided lots of information about the area. Bed was comfy and kitchen had all the basics. Could hear people walking upstairs (not a bother but at times felt like they were in the room with you.). Host was very responsive.

Cozy and Perfectly Located in the Heart of Seward

We stayed here over Mother’s Day weekend and really enjoyed it. The location is central, just a short walk to the waterfront, restaurants, and everything we needed. The weather was beautiful, and the place itself was clean, cozy, and comfortable. Great little spot in a great part of town.

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!
