Pre cruise Stay
We arrived in Seward on the train for a two night stay prior to our cruise. Hosts were incredibly responsive in communication. Property is lovely, obvious the care that is taken with cleanliness and decor. As stated, it’s a short walk from the #8 shuttle stop. As we were late in the season, we found texting Aunt May’s taxi service was the best way to get service for returning w luggage to the cruise terminal. Great spot for departing for hikes. Comfortable lodging and very clear instructions from hosts. We would stay here again highly recommend.

Fantastic stay!
We needed a place to overnight in Seward and this was perfect for four adults! It was a bit of an uphill walk from the free shuttle that runs around town, so tricky if you have a lot of luggage, but we found a great restaurant nearby for dinner and caught the bus easily the next morning. A great stay!

Cozy and comfortable
This property was so cozy and comfortable! It’s a great rental for a small family. We were a family of 3 and had a spare twin bed. The owners really went above and beyond in remembering things that renters would like- nightlight in bathroom, blackout curtains, luggage racks, comfy beds and warm blankets, some hangers in the closet, coffee. We didn’t cook while we were there but they had an assortment of small appliances like crockpot as well! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back!

Don't Hesitate!
Three of us, one child and two adults, had an excellent stay at Blueberry Haven. The unit was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The well supplied kitchen offered everything we needed for meal preparation and we made short work of the blueberry jam provided. This was a perfect base for exploring Seward and the surrounding area.

WE'VE USED VRBO FOR MULTIPLE STAYS OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS. THIS IS UP THERE WITH THE CLEANEST UNITS WE'VE EVER RENTED. CAN'T FIND ANYTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY. WE COME TO SEWARD EVERY YEAR FOR THE MT MARATHON RACE, AND THIS UNIT IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR US.

House smelled like cigarette smoke and musty. Beds were miserable. Bed liners made it uncomfortable and noisy everytime we moved. Not a friendly neighborhood. We felt like we we not welcomed.

We only stayed a night, but we loved it! We’d stay again for longer and use more of the outdoor options. It was a great location for heading to the sea life center and doing the local touristy things. And the owners were great - super kind and helpful when needed.

Beautiful Blueberry Haven
My friends and I booked the Blueberry Haven to attend a Seward event. The home is lovely, comfortable, and convenient, and was a great retreat for us after a cool and rainy day by the harbor. The hosts were friendly and helpful, and I would definitely recommend a stay here.
