Nice and cozy

We enjoyed our time here. All of the historical items around the location were a neat way to glimpse into the past. We only had a short stay ourselves, but enjoyed the time in the unit and the area.

Beautiful Stay for Family Celebrations.

Again, Tanguy has aided us in creating great family memories and a comfortable stay. He worked with me in figuring out how to accommodate us and I truly appreciate it. Mostly everything we needed to cook and get cozy was provided, the view as always, soothing and the location unbeatable.

Great location

We stayed two nights. Very easy to walk to the water, just two minutes from the Sea Life Center, many restaurants. The owner communicated very quickly. The living space is large and one bedroom is fairly roomy. The room with twin beds is a little tight. Great views from both sides of the house!

Perfect location

Location of the property was perfect to walk around. Older quaint apartment perfect for what we were looking for near the water and town. A 20 min walk to the port for marine tours if you don’t want to drive and right next to the marine wildlife center. Gas grill is on the ground floor and this unit is upstairs if you choose to use it.

Good location

Loved the location, 2 blocks from the historic area of Seward. Short walk to the inlet and the sealife park. Only down side thing was we couldn't figure out how to turn the heat on to take the slight chill out of the air. We did find an electric oil heater to use.

We enjoyed our stay. Apartment was comfortable and we slept very well.It is an upstairs unit and warm air may rise on hotter days (We had one of the less usual full sun days in Seward). Unit cools down fine with open windows and air from outside.Turn back the clock to the early 1900s (Vintage).Comfortable bed. Very clean.Enjoyed our stay.

Cute property, but…

This house couldn’t have a better location. It was clean and charming with all of its history. However, although the house was from 1905- I was not expecting the mattresses to be from the same era. The mattresses and pillows in this house desperately need replacing. Also, there really is not much point in having a bedside lamp and clock if they are not plugged in and no extension cord is provided.

This is a very cute and comfortable place to stay. We found it with no problem, got in without a hitch, and had everything we needed. It was very quiet even though I sleep with the window slightly open. We tend to mostly eat in and the kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed the photo album of the renovation process on the historic building and the various historic newspaper and magazine prints that are framed and on the walls. Internet worked great. The wireless phone charger was a little extra convenience. I highly recommend this place for a weekend in Seward.
