About this property

History, Views, Charm and Perfect Location!

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.

Views from Upstairs loft and from your dining room. Step out our front door for a breathtaking view literally a few steps From 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, the skate park or to skip rocks at the waterfront 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.

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!

Six to seven is most we accommodate ideally.

We loved this house! It has so much historical charm and the location can’t be beat. It’s right in the downtown, which is so cute and there is so much to see, all of it walkable. The owner was quick and responsive to all of our needs. We had a great stay in Seward and would highly recommend this rental. We are a family of 5 and fit very comfortably in this house.

Great location. We enjoyed being so close to the park. Across the street a good place for breakfast or lunch and sit out on deck. The house was well supplied and full of old time charm. Kitchen up to date and lots of room if you want to cook The kids were upstairs and loved their space. We would recommend this spot to all

Cute little house perfectly located with a fantastic host who was responsive and helpful. We didn’t spend much time in the house, but it was loaded with games and TV/wifi options. This was our first experience using VRBO and the hosts made it an easy process.

Amazing stay!

The house was very convenient to town and other activities in the area! Perfect for families, especially with young children. We appreciated the recommendations to visit the local library next door, along with the neighborhood park and Lowell Point beach area. Our kids enjoyed the selection of games available to play too. Kitchen was fully stocked and there was plenty of room for our multi-generation family of 8. Thank you for a great stay!

Convenient place

This is a convenient location. No bells or whistles in this older home, but has a beautiful view of the water and is an easy walk to shops etc. we’ve suggested some updating to the owners, but if you’re looking for adequate lodging that is close to a good portion of Seward’s shops, this is a good fit.

Amazing house, amazing location, amazing services!

Right in the heart of downtown Seward. The property owner stopped by to introduce himself as we arrived which was super welcoming. Good size. Can fit 5 people comfortably, 6 if someone is willing to sleep on the couch.

Fun times despite bad weather

As is the gamble with two days in Seward, you never really know what you are going to get in regard to weather so we ultimately spent several days eating out and at the house. The house is historic in feel in that it is nothing flashy but has tons of neat character. I’d stay here again.

This is an older property in the old part of Seward close to everything. Great decor and use of the space to make it very comfortable and relaxing. The only thing that would be nice is laundry but certainly not a deal breaker. Owner communication was excellent.

Historical Seward House

Parts of this home were great, but several items need attention for the price. Bathrooms and other areas are in need of paint, repairs and general upkeep. Specifically, downstairs bathroom needs paint, better shower curtain and some general maintence. Upstairs had windows sealed with duct tape, blinds that don't work, bathroom has accordian doors that fall off into the room. No access to laundry or garbage cans.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Sebastien Libbrecht

Host profile image
I am originally from Texas, but I fell in love with the wilderness and wildlife in Alaska. I enjoy relaxing and watching the seagulls and eagles.

Why they chose this property

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.

What makes this property unique

Walking distance to everything downtown. Quiet, convenient location in a charming seaside home. Home has a warm, historic feel without being formal.
