Front Row Bed and Breakfast is located in a very convenient and beautiful part of Seward, Alaska. Upon our arrival in Alaska, Sarah greeted us with a very warm and welcoming message. She provided excellent communication and clear instructions, and her amazing cooking made all of our mornings extremely happy. Breakfast at Front Row was always delightful, and the sourdough waffles are a must-try! Our vacation in Alaska was spectacular, and our stay at Front Row Bed and Breakfast made the entire experience even more extraordinary. Sarah was extremely nice, informative, caring, and thoughtful! We would definitely stay at Front Row again if we were to visit Seward.

One feature is a deal breaker.

Absolutely beautiful location, beautiful view, very nice facility. The fact it is a "shoe-less" facility is a deal breaker. You have to park in the back, shuttle luggage to the door, take shoes off and on to shuttle luggage to your upstairs room. Extraordinarily inconvenient. Also surprised we had to cook our own breakfast.

How anyone rated this property less than 5 stars is a mystery to me. Everything about it was perfect. Sarah was extremely accommodating in helping us set up a boat tour and gave us a great recommendation for a hike and a local place to stop for dinner. We were there with another couple and we had the entire first and second floors to ourselves - it felt like home, but with an amazing view! The kitchen and fridge is incredibly well-stocked and the extremely short walk (one minute) to get a made to order breakfast was well worth it! The living room furniture is super comfy, as are the beds. We loved this place so much, we stayed an extra night. 100% recommend!

Due to a scheduling problem my reservation was changed to Northern Lights B&B, a sister property of Front Row. The change is booking was seamless and owner very helpful and accommodating. Northern Lights is a beautiful small b&b in an excellent location. The staff was wonderful and the breakfasts were made to order and delicious. I would absolutely return if ever again in Seward.

Front Row B&B beyond exceeded my expectations!! The room was spacious and immaculate and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches like the fresh baked chocolate chip banana bread and fresh fruit that was provided! The view was gorgeous and the area was very nice and quiet at night. The B&B is continently located within a short walking distance to the downtown area. Best part was the made to order breakfast that is provided at their sister property (also a very short walk). Best sourdough waffle I’ve ever had in my life! The manager is so sweet and you can tell she loves what she does! I would highly recommend this place! Why stay in a hotel when you can stay here!?!

Gorgeous view, incredible breakfast and very accommodating. Allowed us to store our bikes in their garage due to rain. It’s a popular spot cause of how awesome it is so it was fully booked when we stayed. Everyone was nice and courteous however the walls and doors aren’t well insulted so you could hear murmuring through the rooms and all the plumbing. Not the end of the world by any means, and it didn’t deter us from continuing our multi night stay! The hosts more than make up for the thin walls! The breakfast is delicious! Homemade loafs and coffee available in the kitchen daily with additional breakfast items for on the go, or you can do a sit down for a made to order breakfast with sourdough waffles, toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, and/or breakfast potatoes! So delicious!!

Fantastic Views and Delightful Hosts

Front Door Bed and Breakfast was a great place to stay on our visit to Seward. The room and bathroom were fairly small but comfortable. The shared living area was fantastic with incredible views from every angle. We had a lovely chat with the manager, Sarah, who was extremely friendly and gave us plenty of ideas about activities in the area. We didn’t go to the sister property for breakfast, although we heard from other guests that the breakfast was phenomenal. However each morning there were delicious fresh baked goods in our kitchen as well as fresh fruit, juice, coffee, tea, and everything that was needed to make a complete breakfast. We spent some great hours sitting in the living room reading and watching the fabulous clouds and sunlight dance on the glaciers.
