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.

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!
