Overview
House, 2 Bedrooms + Bunk Area, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6-8)
Located in the original 1913 Seward town site. Charming and quaint, it has everything you want from a Alaska summer vacation rental.
After a full day of sightseeing, touring, fishing, hiking and shopping, you can relax in our comfortable and fully appointed home-like setting.
Conveniently located in downtown Seward you are steps away from why you came to our historic and exciting town.
Step out our front door for a breathtaking view of Resurrection Bay, walk to the Sea life center for an afternoon of discovery, or visit Brown and Hawkins for home made Gelato and fabulous fudge.
If you like to walk, follow the waterfront towards the Marina or stroll towards Lowell Point for an afternoon of Kayaking or a try at Catching a King or Silver Salmon at the nearby Waterfall.
For those who like to get the kids out of the house and relax, send them to the local library, skate park or movie theater, all within walking distance.
If you prefer to read and relax, sit on the back deck or settle into a comfortable chair and enjoy a book. Games and videos available for the kids.
For Dinner, invite friends and cook dinner on our back deck BBQ or in the fully appointed kitchen. We have what you need from pots, pans, to plates and utensils and a Gas BBQ out back.
Fresh linens await you upon arrival and there is no cleanup required when you leave-Just no dirty dishes, please.
We hope you enjoy our home away from home, it is a paradise retreat we are proud to share!

About Tanguy Libbrecht
Tanguy Relaxing in Anchorage, wishing he was at his Seward House listening to the seagulls and watching Bald Eagles.
Tanguy Libbrecht purchased this house in 2007
Why Tanguy Libbrecht chose Seward
My family and I really enjoyed the serenity and majestic beauty of resurrection bay as well as the friendly people, fishing and wildlife.
The cottage has an unexplainable, simple charm that makes it difficult to leave. Worries melt away while you enjoy yourself with friends and loved ones. Board games, anyone?
What makes this house unique
Walking distance to everything downtown. Quiet, convenient location in a charming seaside home. Home has a warm, historic feel without being formal.

Reviews
Very Good!

Charming and very comfortable, perfect location
We very much enjoyed our overnight stay at this charming old house, perfectly located.
We came by train from Anchorage, a scenic ride not to be missed. The (free) shuttle took us to the house, perfectly located to walk to the shops, restaurants and the famous Sea Life Center and the new Library/ Museum.
The house is very well equipped, comfortable beds, large kitchen, and well decorated, prettier than the pictures!
The owner provided us with good recommendations and returned our phone call promptly .
We will come with friends for a fishing trip and explore the area.
Nice Stay in Seward
Nice house, clean and convenient to area attractions. The owner was very helpful and courteous and went out of his way to ensure everything was satisfactory.
Hopefully we will be back soon.
Thank you!
Weekend with friends
This house had everything we needed! We love to cook our own meals and this house has everything you need for all varieties. It’s clean and comfortable and easily housed 6 of us. We have stayed here before and will continue to rent this property. Tanguy is an awesome host!!!!!
great location
This house was a great location. It was small for our family of 5, and the bedrooms especially were small. It could have been cleaner.
Very charming property
We very much enjoyed our stay at this cozy house full of history and charm. Owner was very responsive to questions and gave great suggestions of things to do nearby.
Awesome Stay.
The Seward home was Fantastic with an awesome view of the bay and in great proximity to downtown. We were able to view all of downtown and the Sea Center by walking. Easy access in and out. Beautiful home with all the amenities needed to enjoy our stay there.
