About this house rental
WATERFRONT COTTAGE BUILT 1952
An iconic Seldovia home is now available for rent. This idyllic cottage home, built-in 1952, has been home to many Seldovia families. It is built on the historic old boardwalk that once ran the entire length of Main Street prior to the 1964 quake. The lower level on the boardwalk is a warehouse with a washer & dryer, up a gentle flight of stairs to the kitchen & sitting area, two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The kitchen is fully appointed with Cuisinart, Kitchen Aid Mixer, and press pot for coffee; owners live next door if you need anything. A steep staircase takes you to two more bedrooms. The wrapped deck includes a BBQ, planters, and furniture. We purchased the house in 1976 and enjoyed it as a weekend retreat from our busy lives in Anchorage. It is one of the most photographed scenes in Seldovia, the first glimpse of town from the bridge when arriving from the airstrip. The home is built on pilings over the slough, a tidal estuary of Seldovia Bay. Enjoy the energy of the daily tides and the many varieties of birds, including eagles with scenic mountains in the background. You can fish for salmon from the beach below the deck in June, watch the 5K salmon shuffle run down the boardwalk the morning of July 4th, see otters playing in the slough below the house, and admire the perennial garden park just outside the door.

The rate is based on two bedrooms on the main floor. If you need a third or fourth bedroom, the rate is an additional $25 per bedroom per night.

There was a mixup with our booking, but Suzie managed to find accommodations for us for the first night, which worked out fine. Then, we arrived at her place overlooking the water, and it was beyond amazing. The only thing I would add is that for a large group, the living space is not very big, especially if the weather takes a turn for the worst. But, if it’s sunny, you’ll have an amazing time!

The place is great! Right on the water, nice deck and chairs outside. Would highly recommend!

Adorable house in a fabulous place.
6 / 10Average·May 2024
The pros: The setting is quaint and beautiful, right on the water on the historic boardwalk. The house was cozy, the kitchen has everything you might need, the beds were super comfortable and the host let us check in a little early and tried to be responsive to the issues that came to light.
The cons: The kitchen stove didn’t light, the Wi-Fi password didn’t work (and only Verizon works there), there was no hot water, the microwave plate was pretty gross, the coffee maker had a reusable filter filled with very moldy grounds and there was only one roll of toilet paper. The stove was fixed almost immediately. It was the second afternoon before we finally got the correct password info. We had no hot water until the evening before we left but there was an another (quite nice) place to shower down the boardwalk and up some stairs. We scrubbed the microwave plate, didn't use the coffee maker, and we took a roll of TP from the alternate bathroom. I think a few of these problems were because we were the first guests of the season and I think the kinks have been ironed out now, but all of them could have been prevented with a pre-check. None of it ruined the good time we had there (and it was a really comfortable place) but for the price we expected fewer issues.
