    Salty Sam's felt like home. We are from the Aleutians and noticed Tustumena art around the home - it felt very comfortable and familiar. We loved it! Thank you, Annette

    Enjoyed our stay in Alaska & experienced the surrounding wilderness. Property is conveniently located walking distance to shops & readily accessible to free Seward bus shuttle. Added boat excursion via Wild Fjord Tours providing small group tour to explore the Kenai Fjords National Park with boat captain Logan, who was not only extremely knowledgeable but was able to track down wildlife including humpback whales, stellar sea lions, sea otters, bald eagles, puffins, mountain goats etc.. & experienced the Holgate glacier calving where large chunks of ice covered two caves. Wildlife & weather all contributed to an amazing experience in Alaska!

    Salty Sam’s was a great little cottage. Everything was clean and well maintained. Teens slept on sofa bed and had zero complaints. It was a nice touch to have coffee beans and grinder in the kitchen. Fresh ground coffee was a great way to start the day! You are centrally located to walk pretty much anywhere and the views are spectacular.

    We loved our stay at Salty Sam's! The cottage was clean, cozy and just perfect for our family of five (one kiddo in a pack n' play). The location is perfection! We walked to the park, restaurants, shopping and even the post office (to drop off Alaska postcards). The host had great communication, an easy check-in process and provided everything we needed. The cottage even smelled wonderful! Thanks for a great stay in Seward! HIGHLY recommend Salty Sam's for anyone looking for a rental in Alaska!

    Such a lovely place for 3 women to stay. Clean, neat and creatively decorated in ocean decor! The large kitchen and quaint bathroom appear recently updated. We also enjoyed sitting on the cute front porch during the evenings. Location was walking distance to the beach and downtown Seward. We would highly recommend this cozy home!

    Salty Sam's Cozy Downtown home is exactly what it says. Do not let the size fool you, as this little home is the perfect size for a couple trying to escape the hustle and bustle. Lots of thoughtful amenities are provided and location couldn't be better.

    For travelers on the road without a vehicle this cottage is the one! It's less than a 5 minute walk to a Seward's free shuttle stop in the historic district with nice shops, restaurants & a health food store. The shutle makes a big loop along the camping park on the water, then to stops near the cruise ship port, Safeway, etc. A ride gives a good lay of the land Laundry mat was maybe 7 minutes walk. The the kitchen is fully appointed and there's Lots of places to hang stuff!:) Set up nicely so that one can remove rain gear/boots right at the door. The home lives up to it's VRBO discription. Highly Recommended.

    The communication with the hosts was excellent. The place was very clean. The location was great (you are two short blocks from the water, about a mile from the busy shops downtown, and the neighborhood was quite.) Bottom line, if I came back to Seward I would look into Salty Sam's availability.

    Perfect location for your Seward adventure. Property is perfectly renovated but has a retro vibe. You can walk to a multitude of restaurants and shops downtown. It was a very enjoyable stay. Can highly recommend.
