Anice property in a very good location in Seward - a short walk from one of the free shutle stops, the library and museum, and the Sea Life Center, as well as the shops and eateries in town. And the view from the living room window is very nice. The apartment is well maintained, and the owner was responsive to our few requests and needs. Some of the pots and pans were not as clean as we would have liked, but we were able to manage with the other utensils.

Host profile image

We moved to Alaska 24 years ago for a couple of years and never left! We have raised four Alaskan Kids here and love Seward and Alaska. You will too!

Why they chose this property

My wife and I purchased this home because we fell in love with its fascinating history, location and feel. We could imagine ourselves here in 1905 and wanted to restore and honor this important part of Seward and U.S. History. Right next to library and two blocks from the part and waterfront.

What makes this property unique

Views and walking distance to everything!, period decor, amazing views, proximity to the waterfront, charm and coziness.
