The Vue B&B - Seward, Alaska

Joe B.

We don't like being negative, but have to be honest about our experience. We had reservations in Fall 2024 but ultimately did not stay. In our opinion the accommodations were not accurately advertised. For example, the shared kitchen was not clearly disclosed in the room description pics (looks like it is part of the room), or the "size" of the East Room sitting room (which is just a narrow entrance hallway and a small couch). The view is mainly a wall of a building next door, and some mountains over the top of the building in the distance, not to mention a view of some of the neighbors next door through their windows. Further, when we arrived during the stated check in time the entrance door was ajar, the room not fully cleaned, and the cleaning person barefoot sitting on the deck. And be careful of the window that falls out when you open it to cool off from no a/c that also came with a dog barking and some car alarms in the distance. After several attempts to contact the booking agent/owner all concerns were dismissed. Finally, when the owner says to her employee "nothing will make this guy happy" right in front of you, you realize it's time to move on. Feel free to stay there, but just beware it may not be what you are expecting.

I recently stayed at The Vue with six other members of my family, so we had the entire place to ourselves, and it was great! We came during Fourth of July week, when Seward is the busiest. The location was perfect, and just a quick walk to downtown for all the festivities going on. Rissi and her staff did an amazing job hosting us, answering questions about the area, and providing a fully stocked fridge with everything we could want for breakfast. Highly recommend visiting Seward and staying here!

Awesome place! Was here for the 4th. Outstanding location and amazing views. Having breakfast provided was a huge plus. One of the best spots in Seward because you can walk everywhere and the restaurants are very close. Highly recommend this spot!

Great place to rent in Seward. Location is perfect, you are walking distance to any coffee shop/restaurant. The views are incredible, you can see the water from the porch and behind you is the mount marathon race mountain. 100% recommend staying here with friends & family

This morning I woke up to the heaviest snow I’ve ever encountered in my life and someone had cleared the path to my car doors 🩷 The room was 99.9% spotless. The bed was a bit harder than my tiny body’s preference but I slept well. The kitchen was well equipped. The only thing I could’ve hoped for more was some qtips & cottonballs in the bathroom. The view and location were excellent. The reservation clerks were lovely and helpful and everything was seamless. I’m a full-time world traveler and this place gets a solid A+ from me.

Excellent - Spacious, clean, amazing location, superb communication and recommendations

Liked · I first and foremost appreciated the absolutely amazing communication and detail provided by Rissie & The Coastal Heritage Team! They provided excellent instructions and recommendations during my time in Seward; I was able to go dog mushing due their recommendation which I did not previously find online so that was awesome! The room was very spacious, I stayed in the West room, with a queen bed, large couch, nice seating area, and lovely bathroom. Everything was perfectly maintained and clean upon my arrival. The kitchen, which was directly next to my room was perfectly curated with everything anyone could possibly need and I enjoyed a very late dinner there.

Disliked · I have absolutely no complaints. Much more preferable to a normal hotel stay.

We arrived in Seward in early morning from a cruise. The owner, who works two buildings over, allowed us to store our luggage in her office so we can tour the area before our “West Room” unit was ready later in the afternoon. This place has an “IKEA” style minimalist feel. It’s very clean and has a very nice shared kitchen with a jar of cereal and some regular & decaf coffee beans. The daily housekeeping did not clean our room, they only cleaned the common areas. This is not a Bed & Breakfast B&B we’re used to. There is no host-family living onsite, so there is no home cooked breakfast where guests gather, share travel tips, etc., and no home baked cookies waiting for us after a day of trekking. The entrance to the building is loose gravel (not paved) so making wheeling suitcases to the door impossible. Our unit has a small sitting room, a bedroom and bath, but no closet and no dressers — so be prepared to live out of your suitcases during your stay here.||We met the couple staying upstairs from our West Room unit. During our brief friendly chat, they said that they can hear every word we’re saying downstairs, and we were just talking at a normal volume sitting on the sofa. We told them when they walk around upstairs sounds like someone’s rearranging furniture! We all agreed that the walls are really thin in this house.
