Ideally located in downtown Seward: 1 block from the bay and waterfront playground, 1/2 block from library, 1.5 blocks from post office, and 3 blocks from the Alaska SeaLife Center.

The living room couch is a high-quality futon. Sleeps six. Fully stocked kitchen with a large fridge and freezer for fish you catch. Front-loading washer and dryer.
