Salty Sam's Cozy Downtown Home

Salty Sam's Cozy Downtown Home - Located in the Heart of Seward, Sleeps 4

A queen bed is located in the bedroom with a queen-size sleeper sofa bed in the living room. The sofa bed is top-of-the-line and guests boast it's just as comfortable as a traditional bed. This property does not have a washer and dryer onsite but is conveniently located near a laundromat.

A full kitchen, impressive DVD/VHS collection (sorry no SmartTV here), cozy interior and convenient access are major perks to staying in this property!

Salty Sam's is 3/4 of a mile from the small boat harbor and 2 blocks from Resurrection Bay with a beautiful view of Mt. Marathon. It's a short walking distance to the Alaska Sealife Center, local shops, bars, restaurants, post office, laundromat, and coffee houses. If you forgot something, we’re right across the street from Seward’s local thrift shop, Ukanuzit.

· Take Alaska Railroad to/from Seward scenic 4 hour journey
· Only half mile to Cruise ship terminal, perfect for pre or post cruise stay
· Short walk to downtown Seward, Waterfront and Sea Life Center.
· City of Seward provides a free shuttle that runs from the Harbor to Downtown with stops in between. Very convenient so you don’t have to have a car.

As a reminder, the property does not have a washing machine or dryer available for guests, however a public laundromat is located a couple blocks away.

We do encourage guests to refrain from cooking fish inside the home. A public outdoor grilling area is available at the pavilion near the waterfront for your use. for outdoor cooking of your local catch. We do not allow processing of fish on property.

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.

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.

Great place in the heart of Seward

This is a great place in the heart of Seward. Just a couple of blocks from many downtown shops and restaurants. It’s even just two blocks from the beach too. It’s full bedroom and full kitchen was just the right size. We would definitely stay here again.

We Love Our "Vacation House"

Each year my husband and I come to Seward for a fishing trip. This is our second stay at Salty Sam's. We love it. We now refer to it as "our vacation house" when we talk about it with our friends. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone staying in Seward area. It's a great location and house is comfortable and adorable.

Cute stay before Cruise

We only had one night here before our cruise, but were able to check in early and enjoy this cute little house. It is decorated with great artwork and festive details relating to Alaska and the sea. It was a short walk into town and down to the water. Communication was great with the host, no complaints!
