Great stay!

This was my husband and I's first time visiting Alaska. Not only was this house affordable, it was clean and had all of the amenities that we would need as well. It was a great location - just outside of Seward but still quiet in the evenings. Shirley and her husbands were great hosts. 100% would come back!

Thoughtfully done, and squeaky clean!

We enjoyed our brief stay at the Seldovia House, just a few minutes outside of Seward. The decor is charming, the bed comfortable, and the shower delightful! Many thoughtful touches, as well as a pretty view, made it a great place for us to stay.

Pleasant Stay

We had a nice stay at this property. It was clean, comfortable, and Shirley was responsive to questions. The only disadvantage was the foot noise from the upstairs rental.

Nice house located outside of town In a Quiet area.

This was a nice quiet place for two of us to stay. We did not spend a lot of time In The house but found it clean and as described in the listing. Check in and out process was easy. We were happy to be outside of traffic in town.

Great place minutes from Seward

Don't let it scare you that this home is out of town, 5 minutes-ish with a car and you can see the highway from the deck/front of the house- no chance of getting lost. Newly redone, clean and adorable- we loved our stay here. Thanks.

Great place to stay near Seward.

The Seldovia House is the lower part of a two story guest house. Very tastefully build and furnished, very comfortable. The only down side is that the noise from the guests upstairs was loud and intrusive of sleep- we heard every footstep and water running when they came in late at night. But for just two nights it was a pleasure to stay there.
