Comfortable beds and well appointed kitchen if you want to dine in. Very responsive during our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Alaska Vacation

We were extremely impressed with this home, the owner was amazing, offering advice on local attractions, and the steam shower was just what one needed after a cold tour on the water. We highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Wonderful stay

Doug's place was perfect for our 3 night stay in Seward. Doug welcomed us and told us about the house and area. He was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was very clean, comfortable and in a great location. We could walk to so many places. While there we went to Exit Glacier, Alaska Sealife Center and also on a Major Marine wildlife cruise. Doug's place was a wonderful home base and we had a lovely stay.

Really great place to stay. Very spacious--it's an entire two-bedroom apartment with a large bathroom and a full kitchen--well furnished, very clean, and in great condition. Super convenient location on a quiet side street just two blocks from downtown, has its own parking space just off the street. No downsides to speak of, just a great, spacious, clean, quiet place to stay. Would definitely stay again.

Stay AWAY Owner has over the top expectations

I have utilized VRBO for over 14 years and this is the first time I have ever encountered a property owner like this! Initially check in seemed to be smooth with a message sent through VRBO with all details for accessing the property. However, at 8:30pm Doug texted me asking about my arrival and that he wanted to go over the "amenities". I informed him our arrival would be 10:30 pm. When we arrived Doug spent 45 minutes walking us over the 2 bd 1ba duplex. He explained how the blinds worked and emphasized how past renters had messed them up, then the garbage can (motion activiated) and how past renters had messed it up, then on to asking where my children would sleep (weird and alarming), to showing us how the tub and steam shower worked (informing us also of how previous renters had messed those up also). He also informs us for check out that all we need to do is "LEAVE LINENS ON BED AND TOWELS CAN BE LEFT ON RACKS". At this point my family is exhausted we are still functioning on central time zone so its like 1 am for us however we were all cordial and smiling just wanting to go to bed. So much for the "no contact check in that is described in his posting" He went on to tell us that he actually lives upstairs. I later realized (our last night) that the bedroom my children were in had a keyed deadbolt lock on the door (which goes to the part of the house he lives in). There is NOT an additional exit in case of a fire you can only enter and leave through the front door. We were only at the home for one meal (breakfast) and to sleep at night. We were busy seeing Alaska. When we checked out on our departure date, we loaded dishwasher with what could fit turned it on, left linens on bed and towels in their place just as we were told and just a few items in the sink. However, that afternoon Doug sends me a text telling me we left the home a complete mess with a sink full of dishes (per the picture he sent me there was two coffee cups, a bowl, three spoons, a knife and a fork) , DRIED cranberries on the floor and "smashed" in the carpet(in the picture the dried cranberries are sitting on the carpet) . He said he would charge me extra cleaning fee because of the "hours" it took to clean. I refuted his charges. He expects you to sweep, mop, clean all the dishes, put them away! You are better off not staying there you'd be better off in a tent. He is money hungry and will probably make up reasons to keep your deposit or charge you more.

This is a great location. It is easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Views from the front windows are amazing! The house is well laid out and very comfortable. Doug is an excellent host. Thanks to his overview, we knew how everything in the house works. That’s a real plus.

Seward Visit

This property was perfect for my group of 4, husband, sister and BIL. The location was great for our itinerary. The furnishings were comfortable and clean. It was great to have the kitchen facilities when we ate in. Everything was as listed in the summary of property. I especially liked that the bathroom towels/wash clothes were plentiful! And wow! That view out of the front window was amazing.

The best

Doug’s place was perfect!! Great location, super clean, and Doug was wonderful. We left our 84 year old mom so we could do an all day excursion. Doug not only let me put him down as an in case of emergency person BUT he also came by to check on her and visit with her while we were gone. Talk about above and beyond. Mom loved the visit. You can’t go wrong booking with Doug.

Post relay relaxing in Seward

Our group helps organize and volunteers to staff the annual 230 mile Alaska Relay from Mirror Lake to Seward by NxNW Relays. This Vrbo stay was our post relate place to relax and complete wrap-up in town. Its location was convenient and near the top of the hill on 2nd, offered a view of the area, as well as a well comfortable living room and bedrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking our meals.
Mountains and bay from the living room. Sorry, no pic of the salmon dinner!
