Driftwood Suites - SeaStar (#4)

Driftwood Suites - SeaStar Suite (#4) - Downtown apartment, Sleeps 6

This apartment is everything you want in a downtown apartment! This two bedroom, 1.5 bath located on the second floor of Driftwood Suites does require you to climb stairs to access. You'll find unbeatable views of surrounding mountains from every window as well as from the back balcony. This property is ideally located right in the heart of Seward within walking distance of the harbor and the historic downtown district.

Each bedroom has a queen bed and the living room has queen-size pullout sleeper sofa for additional guests. Each sleeping area is thoughtfully fitted with black-out coverings to help guests get a good night sleep in the land of the Midnight Sun. The blinds are also top down, bottom up so that you can maintain privacy from the street but still enjoy the mountain views.

The kitchen features a large space for cooking and a grill on the deck is available for outdoor cooking as well. The kitchen is fully stocked with most everything you'll need to prepare meals and beverages.

Ideally located right in the heart of Seward within walking distance of the harbor and the historic downtown district, Driftwood Suites houses three vacation rental apartments and the office for a real estate brokerage, Seward Properties. Please keep in mind that the suite shares a wall with another unit. If you're a light sleeper, we suggest bringing a sound machine.

Only two blocks from a free city shuttle stop and less than a block away from Exit Glacier Guides, which offers inexpensive transport to the Exit Glacier area of Kenai Fjords National Park, WhiteCap is conveniently located. Perched along the rocky coast of Resurrection Bay, Seward is a small, seaside community and a great destination for those seeking adventure, Alaskan style!

As a free resource, my husband Clay, a local boat captain, and I are here to answer questions or help you book the perfect excursion to explore Seward and the surrounding Kenai Fjords National Park. We offer discounts on many tours to our guests.

Kylee, Clay and the Seward Vacation Stays team are excited to host you, share their favorite Alaskan adventures, and ensure you have the very best stay in Seward.
We do encourage guests to refrain from cooking fish inside the unit; however, we do provide a grill for outdoor cooking of your local catch. We do not allow processing of fish on property.

Nice accommodations
Driftwood Seastar was just as the owners described. Clean, comfortable, and halfway between the downtown and boat docks. We could walk either direction. We stayed 3 nights, having laundry in unit was so convenient. We ate in two nights, went to Rays fish house the other night, which was wonderful! Very pleasant stay.

Perfect Seward spot
The unit was exactly as pictured, well equipped and clean. It was in a great location, easy walking distance to downtown and a quick couple minute drive to the harbor. Communication with owners was easy. Would definitely recommend this to anyone travelling to Seward.

So happy
We stayed at this rental over Memorial Day weekend and we’re very glad we did. It was just perfect for two couples. It was really clean, comfortable, and convenient to restaurants and hiking. It had everything we needed to cook multiple meals. If we are ever this way again, we will be back!

Driftwood suites
Apartment was clean and well maintained. Communication from host was excellent and he helped us book a wildlife cruise and gave info on transportation. Location was a bit farther from the harbor than we usually stay, but free shuttle was convenient and the distance to the harbor was walkable for most in our party. Overall, I would highly recommend this property and host!

Very nice and clean apartment on a quiet street with beautiful water and Mountain View’s. The hosts, Kylee and Clay, were also very nice and available if needed. The cleaning service and Clay immediately notified us when our credit card was found in the apartment after check out, so we were able to retrieve it before leaving town. The apartment was perfect for 4 adults for a 2 night stay.

Wonderful and super clean with amazing views!
This property is located in a perfect position. Out of the middle of the harbor traffic, and walking distance to the SeaLife Center and the water (for those who can walk a mile or so!) The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. Beds are comfy and having the half bath is really nice bonus! The only thing to note is this is an upstairs unit (my checkin email said it was main level) so note that you will need to go up stairs. Also, if coming in summer and you are light sensitive when it comes to sleeping, bring an eye mask! We have yet to find a place in Alaska that is not bright at night, so not unique to this property, just something to easily fix if you like it super dark for sleeping.

Great 2 bedroom unit!
Excellent unit midway between the small boat harbor and downtown Seward. It’s about 15 minute walk either direction. I highly suggest you use Orange Bicycle Delivery to move your bags to the unit and then to the cruise ship. They charge $10.00 for a large suitcase and you can send a carryon with it at no extra charge. Kylee at Seward Properties was outstanding with all aspects of our booking and stay.

Perfect location in Seward with a view
This spotless apartment was in a perfect location for us. It was easy to walk to the stores and Sea Life Center and to the cruise pier. It was clean, well stocked, and comfortable. We enjoyed coffee in the morning on the deck and took in the beautiful view. We would definitely stay here again.
