Great location & spacious living areas.
The place worked good. But the listing has the wrong address & the property manager never returned our 3 calls requesting how to put the heat on & what the Wi-Fi code was. We did find the code on a slip of paper by the tv & did get some heat. Also, the text symbol for the property manager does not work. So no texting. The view is great & eventually everything worked.

Beautiful Stay for Family Celebrations.
Again, Tanguy has aided us in creating great family memories and a comfortable stay. He worked with me in figuring out how to accommodate us and I truly appreciate it. Mostly everything we needed to cook and get cozy was provided, the view as always, soothing and the location unbeatable.

Alaskan Overview
First time to Alaska and Seward definitely has all things Alaska. Stayed all 7 days in this town and each day was a new adventure. Even just the Sea Life center was a favorite. The water is within site of this place, walking distance to everything. Absolutely the perfect place. Clean, plenty of room and perfectly located in town. Thankful we found this gem and highly recommended. Hosts also are very helpful on local advice.
