    Property was clean. Only complaint was the size of the shower area in the bathroom. I'm 5'10 175lbs and was just barely able to fit. Anyone taller/bigger beware. Otherwise, its a great place, well located, and parking is available right in front.

    Very cute, nicely decorated studio apt in a great Seward location. Shops, restaurants and the aquarium are all within a few blocks. The harbor is about 1.5 miles away, you can walk the trail along the bay or catch a ride on the free shuttle.

    Nice location, very clean. I had some creamer and sugar for coffee it would have been nice if it was there. The young lady doing maintenance? Was lovely. All of the decor, I understand, however was a bit fussy for me.

    We stayed here for one night after a cruise before heading to Anchorage. It was four of us with two boys 12 and 9. The place was perfect! The bed was super comfortable, clean and my wife said she loved the design. The whole place was very well-decorated, and had everything we needed even if the stay was quite a bit longer. The location was great. Very close walking distance to the water, shopping, awesome dining, and coffee. We’re glad to have found this place. Shelly was an amazing host and was very responsive on the couple times I needed to reach her. Thanks!

    Great apartment in a great location. It's in the quieter end of town which was nice and still one block from the bay, walking distance to shops, restaurants, bars, and the harbor.

    Charming spot close to everything in Seward. Host provided lots of information about the area. Bed was comfy and kitchen had all the basics. Could hear people walking upstairs (not a bother but at times felt like they were in the room with you.). Host was very responsive.

    We stayed here over Mother’s Day weekend and really enjoyed it. The location is central, just a short walk to the waterfront, restaurants, and everything we needed. The weather was beautiful, and the place itself was clean, cozy, and comfortable. Great little spot in a great part of town.

    This place was perfect for our 3 day stay. Walking distance to many restaurants and the Alaska Sea Life Center. Short drive to the docks where you can take a cruise around Resurrection Bay. Kitchen area was just enough to make easy morning coffee and breakfast. If we ever come back to Seward would definitely stay there again.

    Awesome location and perfect accommodations! Shelly was really helpful on some restaurant suggestions and was able to get me into the unit early so I could explore Seward during my 24-hour stay. If I’m back in Seward, I hope to be a repeat guest at Shelly’s place.
