Great stay!

This is our second trip to Seward. First trip, we booked a hotel which didn't give us much space. This suite was perfect for us, we were a party of 3. Very close to town, nestled in nature, and very spacious and clean. Would rent again!

Don’t let the neighborhood fool you, some run down places on the road to the house. Once you get to the place all is beautiful and great. Right in the forest, which is AWSOME.

Seward, 2022

Property was as advertised. Clean, well stocked and close to town. Enjoyed our stay. Only wished it had two bathrooms. A great option for the Seward area. Quiet, private, new, and close to action but yet just far enough to experience rural Alaska.

Modern and well appointed condo

We loved this condo! Everything felt new. The kitchen was well stocked and fully equipped. The picnic table on the deck was a fun place to eat breakfast while listening to the birds in the morning. The sleeper sofa had a unique design that made it very comfortable. My daughter, who usually hate pullouts, said that the couch felt better than her bed at home. The property is in a quiet neighborhood that is only a 10 minute drive from Seward.

Great stay!

We had a wonderful stay! We had everything we needed! Kristi was very responsive to every message and took great care of us. The place was easy to find. Beds were comfy and kitchen had all necessities. We enjoyed eating on the picnic table outside and use of the grill. While very close to the town of Seward, it was nice to get away to this peaceful area after a day of exploring. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely, Well-Appointed, Quietly off the Beaten Path

Well-appointed, family friendly location quietly off the beaten path. I visited with a full house of six and we fit comfortably. The full, well-stocked kitchen is great for cooking (and grilling!) for yourself. Property owners are helpful and responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Kristi Akana

Host profile image
We are Jimmy and Kristi Akana, the proud owners of Pacific Heights Lodging. Jimmy is a Fishing Charter Captain of a local operation here in Seward. Kristi is a former Elementary and Special Education Teacher that now devotes her time and energy ensuring all their guests have everything they need while enjoying their stay here in Seward. We finally accomplished our dream of being a Seward Host to family and both old and new friends from near and afar.

Why they chose this property

Our small Lodge differs from most typical Seward rentals as it is totally Brand New! We wanted our guests to enjoy Alaska's beauty while only being minutes from town hence why we chose this piece of land to build on. Our Lodge is located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood yet only a few miles from the Seward Small Boat Harbor and Downtown. Construction of Pacific Heights Lodging was completed in June of 2017.

What makes this property unique

When constructing our Lodge we made sure to include amenities that would make our guests comfortable and feel at home. We designed our Lodge with modern Suites that include contemporary furnishings, appliances, and fixtures. We also chose to splurge and include In-Floor Heating and a top of the line Heating and Circulation Ventilation System for the enjoyment of our guests.
