Superb Stay for Sunflower Sea Star Scientists

We were visiting from multiple locations across the U.S. to work with the Alaska Sea Life Center on Conservation efforts for the Sunflower Sea Star. The house was clean, had beautiful views, and was a great place to stay. Thank you!

We loved it here!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Seward! Marjorie and Charles are so kind and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived in Alaska.They were incredibly responsive, and helpful throughout our trip, which made everything feel seamless and stress-free.We were impressed by how much space we had, and how spotless and well-maintained everything was. It truly exceeded expectations. From kitchen essentials to cozy blankets, the home was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, and it felt like a home away from home. We didn't want to leave!Waking up to the mountains and water just outside the window was something we’ll never forget. The location was also perfect: quiet and peaceful, yet just minutes from downtown Seward, the harbor, and local restaurants and shops. We loved being able to explore during the day and come back to such a relaxing and comfortable space. Highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Seward! We'll definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Family trip to Seward

The property is located close to all Seward has to offer. Being able to walk to the waterfront and the local restaurants made for easy days and entertainment. The home itself is so clean and meticulously maintained. Everything was perfect. Great relaxing spaces and amenities. The family living space was perfect for game nights and meals. Bedrooms and bathrooms are clean and very spacious. My family and I all had the same rating of this rental and it is excellent.

A-View Stay inSeward

This was a very nice place to stay in Seward. It was clean and it had all we needed for the partial weekend here. The kids had extra snacks and the coffee pods and tea were what the grown-ups needed! We were attending events otherwise we could have enjoyed the beautiful views a little longer. Thank you!

Modern, Comfortable, Clean

What a treat! This house is centrally located within walking distance of both the harbor and downtown Seward. It's very new and has a great layout that gives nice views of the surrounding mountains and Resurrection Bay. We visited on cold, rainy weekend, in which we spent a lot of time hanging out, playing games, watching movies, and cooking all of our meals. We loved that we had the whole place to ourselves. The owners are very responsive but were not the least bit intrusive. Everyone in our group was very pleased with this rental. Seward has a lot of older and rustic spots for rent. This place stood out. We've already recommended it to our friends.

Cozy Stay with a Amazing View

Marjorie and Chales' property is a comfortable place to enjoy Seward and its surroundings. I visited Seward in Oct and it presented a nice and warm place for us to stay with a view of the bay and the snow-capped mountains. The house was well decorated and had all the essentials and more. The hosts for the property were very friendly and were always available on chat. We would love to select this place when we visit next time. Thanks, Marjorie and Charles for the comfortable stay.

Great place to stay!

This property is a great spot to stay in Seward. The craftsmanship of the is awesome and the little Alaskan touches within the property make it special. The hosts are amazing. They have equipped the house with anything and everything you could need. The hosts even went above and beyond leaving fresh muffins for us and even called to check in on us during a power outage during our stay. With the location, property and wonderful hosts this is a must stay!

Pleasant aesthetic, sweet views, and walking distance to shops/restaurants

Check in was easy. Coming in through the garage is great to drop muddy/dirty wet shoes. It was nice to keep that separated from our 18 month old. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook. Good recommendations in the guidebook. Thanks for all the yummy snacks. Love the custom doors from the recycled pallets! Def will stay again next time I am visiting Seward.

Tranquil and Relaxing

The home is newly built with very modern amenities and features. The layout was perfect for our party of four adults. Entry locks were secure and easy to use either through the garage or front entrance of home. Parking was plentiful for our needs as well. The home was clean and well equipped for cooking and home entertainment. Location is perfect for walking, even in winter, to downtown shops, Sea Life Center, water fronts and restaurants. Owners were very responsive to our questions and needs. Our only recommendation is to consider installing shades in the bay windows in the kitchen and living room along the south side of the home. Great views, but felt like being in a fish bowl to outside folks walking by. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Seward and this VRBO was a plus.

A Spectacular New Year's Getaway in Seward! We recently had the pleasure of ringing in the New Year in the picturesque town of Seward, Alaska. The location couldn't have been more perfect – nestled in the heart of Seward, we were treated to breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains and the serene waters of Resurrection Bay. The property itself was a true gem, exuding warmth and comfort in every detail. The property owner's hospitality was exceptional. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and provided helpful recommendations for local attractions and activities. We wholeheartedly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an unforgettable Alaskan escape.

Spacious and Cozy New Home

This house was absolutely perfect or our winter holiday, and it would be just as great during the other times of year too. It was warm and spacious, with lots of room to relax and enjoy the beautiful views of surrounding mountains. Lots of parking and a garage that was warm with loads of room for our ski gear. The location is convenient to walking to shops, restaurants and the waterfront. The house is new and very clean, comfortable, warm and welcoming. Beds were nice ,and the kitchen well stocked. The property owners were super friendly and available if needed. We want to come back the spring!!

Incredible location for unbeatable price!

I had a work trip over the weekend with two co workers and this house was available at very short notice! The owners were extremely responsive and accommodating! They even got us a BBQ grill to use during our 3 day trip! The house is brand new and everything is modern and clean! Each room has its own heat zone and there is no shortage of comfort ranging from a bowl full of free snacks to coffee ready to make! The master bedroom which my co worker had (I was jealous) is great and if I ever made a trip with my family this house would be perfect! On top of all that you are located in a nice quiet part of town with beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. Also there was an abundance of parking which worked well with our three work trucks. I would 10 out of 10 recommend this for family’s and for friends. I stay in VBRO’s all the time for work all around alaska and this is by far my all time favorite!

Great house

The house was wonderful and perfect for our group of 5 adults and one child. It was clean and comfortable and had all the amenities we could want. The location was within walking distance of some trails, the marina, the ocean and town. There were fantastic snow covered mountain views and a peek of the ocean. It was an easy stroll down to the waterfront walking path.

Such AMAZING views from every window in the house! And just a short walk down to the beach/waterfront as well as nearby restaurants, shops, and the Sealife Center. 1,000% would recommend to anyone!

About the host

Hosted by Marjorie and Charles Mceldowney

Hi there!

We are Charles and Marjorie.
My husband built this home in 2020 and added his own artistic flare like barn doors he made from pallets and some unique sheet rock angles.
We lived in the house for the last year and absolutely loved the views out of every single window. We hope you will enjoy and we are so happy to share.

Why they chose this property

It’s so conveniently located. You walk north and get to the boat harbor, east will take you to waterfront and south takes you downtown seward. Right to the west you may climb mt marathon or if your not that adventurous there’s a nice easy hike called two lakes.

What makes this property unique

This house has solar panels and gets a tremendous amount of sun.
