Conveniently located in downtown Seward you are steps away from why you came to our historic and exciting town.

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 Kenai Peninsula
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.

Excellent!

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.
Great location and very comfortable
We were a group of four adults and two kids, and spent two nights in this house. It was in a great location - the kids could walk to the skateboard park a couple of blocks away, and we adults could walk a couple of blocks to the sea bean for coffee in the morning. Also within walking distance to the sea life center and several restaurants. We enjoyed collecting rocks on the beach and flying a kite, and had a nice leisurely breakfast at the house before our day out with kenai fjords tours. The house is well equipped and the beds were quite comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much and will look to stay here again in the future when friends and family come to visit again!
Perfect for our needs with a small family group to go fishing and view the sights around Sweard
Great location and historic charm for downtown Seward. Will likely use again next time we bring guests or family into town.
Mostly great
So many good things about this cottage & just a couple not-so-good.
Perfect location, a quick walk to downtown, plus the waterfront and walking path is RIGHT there! Big well-stocked kitchen was perfect for our family to make meals in. Beds were comfy and it was nice that we could be in a room downstairs (double bed) with our own bathroom, and upstairs was perfect for our 3 boys to share one big room (which sleeps 3, one double bed & a single) and daughter had a small room to herself (single bed) with a big bathroom upstairs for all of them.
The only downside was that it is a very old home, as we knew going in, but the furnace was quite loud (big booms throughout the night as it shut on & off), and even though older homes are difficult to clean well, this was still mostly clean. The only other issue was that we couldn't get the internet/wifi working most of the time.
Overall a neat old home in a super location with helpful, responsive owners.
Perfect location and well-appointed accommodns
The owners did a wonderful job restoring this historical home. The scenery is all about Seward, and close to best restaurants and walks on the most scenic landscape in SE Alaska. Will definitely return for a longer stay. Enjoy a great meal at the Cookery, brew some fresh coffee back at the house and take a stroll on the lake. Nothing better for a vacation stay.
Cute house Convenient location
This house was perfect for our ladies weekend in Seward, 7 total. We really enjoyed our stay in this cozy downtown house. It is located in a convenient spot just up the street from the Sea life center. The living room was great for us to hang out and play games. The kitchen was perfect for us to be able to make all of our meals. I would definitely recommend this rental and I hope to return in the future. Thanks!
