Our stay was beyond what we hoped it would be. The location was just outside of town but still close enough to enjoy the shops and restaurants. The view was just beautiful and we even saw sea otters playing right in front of us off the deck. There were so many added touches to the home that really made it a special experience.

This is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed- the home was clean and well appointed with coffee and tea provided. Well stocked kitchen, ample games, bear spray, and linens available- even eye masks for the bright summer. We couldn’t get enough of the views from all the windows and waking up to otters frolicking in the Bay. Super close to Tonsina trail- one of our favorite hikes. Can’t say enough good things- would definitely stay again.

Beautiful place, ideally located. It was so fun to be able to walk down to the beach and then come back to a gorgeous, comfortable, and well thought out house. This is definitely a rental that I will remember.

Incredible property and the hosts were equally amazing. We had a wonderful time. The house is beautifully decorated and the views from the living room and upstairs bedroom can’t be beat. We walked right out the back deck and onto the beach for nice walks and fishing. Lots of available activities right there at Lowell Point and it’s an easy drive into town. The Tonsina Creek trailhead is just a few steps away.

Going to Seward? Do yourself a favor and stay at The Vessel Beach House Starboard.Gorgeous home with great views of the bay and snow capped mountains. The cleanest and most tastefully decorated home we have stayed in. The furnishings are most comfortable and we had plenty of space. The fireplace contributed to the ambiance and looking out over the bay, just spectacular! The sauna was an added bonus. After dodging the rain all day, and the temperature being around 50 degrees, the sauna felt wonderful. The king bed was so comfortable, and the pillows and linens were 5 star! This home has everything one needs for a perfect stay. Kylee kept in touch for any questions that we had and was so helpful in sending information prior to our trip as we were making our plans.Lovely town to explore, Wish we had stayed longer than 2 nights. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay with our three kids. The house is beautiful- the pictures don’t do it justice. Filled with art and plants and comfy spots. You’re sitting right on one of the most beautiful beaches. It was a great location for all our Seward area activities. We hiked to Tonsina Point right from the house through a fairy tale moss covered forest and came home to relax in the sauna. We enjoyed watching the fishermen on the beach and finding beach treasures at low tide. Highly recommend! It exceeded our expectations.

This place is a gem!

Tucked away on a peaceful stretch of beach, the interior feels like you’re on a comfortable ship. Every touch feels thoughtful and the high end linens were a surprise. The entire family loved the sauna!

Delightful stay

My husband and adult daughter and I had a delightful stay. The view was beyond expectations. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and watching dozens of otters floating by. Very peaceful but just a ten minute drive into town. We also loved walking to the Millers Landing cafe for breakfast and a glass of wine at night. Highly recommend!

Amazing!!!

This was absolutely our favorite VRBO we have ever stayed at. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our 3 days in Seward. I cant remember the last time I slept so well. The bed & bedding was so cozy. A stunning view and the sound of the waves lapping the shore all combined to make a surreal experience. Thank you so much!

Very special space in beautiful Seward

I can’t think of a more idyllic location and space in Seward than this home. My wife, 2yr old daughter and my in laws were there to celebrate my mother in laws birthday. Beautiful and interesting interior space, deck over looking resurrection bay, and down the steps to the beach during low tide. We had an incredible time!!
