Front Row Bed and Breakfast was absolutely Top Notch!! Tom and Lori gracious hosts to a stunning B&B with incredible views right by the water and mountains. Sarah, the manager, went above and beyond and her homemade breakfasts were wonderful. Can’t give this place enough stars. If you come to Seward this IS the place to stay!

How anyone rated this property less than 5 stars is a mystery to me. Everything about it was perfect. Sarah was extremely accommodating in helping us set up a boat tour and gave us a great recommendation for a hike and a local place to stop for dinner. We were there with another couple and we had the entire first and second floors to ourselves - it felt like home, but with an amazing view! The kitchen and fridge is incredibly well-stocked and the extremely short walk (one minute) to get a made to order breakfast was well worth it! The living room furniture is super comfy, as are the beds. We loved this place so much, we stayed an extra night. 100% recommend!

We loved our stay at the Front Row B&B! The location couldn’t be beat!! We lounged in the relaxing common space and prepared some simple meals in the extremely well equipped kitchen. A great place to hang out on a rainy morning, afternoon and/or evening!

Front Row Bed and Breakfast is located in a very convenient and beautiful part of Seward, Alaska. Upon our arrival in Alaska, Sarah greeted us with a very warm and welcoming message. She provided excellent communication and clear instructions, and her amazing cooking made all of our mornings extremely happy. Breakfast at Front Row was always delightful, and the sourdough waffles are a must-try! Our vacation in Alaska was spectacular, and our stay at Front Row Bed and Breakfast made the entire experience even more extraordinary. Sarah was extremely nice, informative, caring, and thoughtful! We would definitely stay at Front Row again if we were to visit Seward.

A phenomenal stay! From checking in through leaving everything was wonderful. Breakfast each morning is made to order. The room and bed were very comfortable and had effective black out shades that made for great sleep. There were snacks and drinks always available and everyone was very helpful. When we return to Seward we would stay here.

Gorgeous view, incredible breakfast and very accommodating. Allowed us to store our bikes in their garage due to rain. It’s a popular spot cause of how awesome it is so it was fully booked when we stayed. Everyone was nice and courteous however the walls and doors aren’t well insulted so you could hear murmuring through the rooms and all the plumbing. Not the end of the world by any means, and it didn’t deter us from continuing our multi night stay! The hosts more than make up for the thin walls! The breakfast is delicious! Homemade loafs and coffee available in the kitchen daily with additional breakfast items for on the go, or you can do a sit down for a made to order breakfast with sourdough waffles, toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, and/or breakfast potatoes! So delicious!!

Due to a scheduling problem my reservation was changed to Northern Lights B&B, a sister property of Front Row. The change is booking was seamless and owner very helpful and accommodating. Northern Lights is a beautiful small b&b in an excellent location. The staff was wonderful and the breakfasts were made to order and delicious. I would absolutely return if ever again in Seward.

Front Row B&B beyond exceeded my expectations!! The room was spacious and immaculate and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches like the fresh baked chocolate chip banana bread and fresh fruit that was provided! The view was gorgeous and the area was very nice and quiet at night. The B&B is continently located within a short walking distance to the downtown area. Best part was the made to order breakfast that is provided at their sister property (also a very short walk). Best sourdough waffle I’ve ever had in my life! The manager is so sweet and you can tell she loves what she does! I would highly recommend this place! Why stay in a hotel when you can stay here!?!
