“Unique & Tranquil!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2011

One of the best parts of our Alaska trip was staying in the WWII moonshine-quonset hut. My husband loved the idea(ex.Marine). The view and having your own 14+ rabbits in the yard--it just doesn't get any better than that. Thanks Debra for a great stay.

Room Tip: Point of View site has lots of options and it is more fun than a hotel stay in Seward.

“Quirky but good”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2011

Alaska's Point of View offers many different locations within Seward; we stayed in the WWII Quonset - Sunshine Hut. Our hearts sank a little when we arrived - it looked tiny and was surround by uninspiring gravel area with a few rabbits running around, but when inside we were surprised just how roomy it was, with a large double bedroom and two comfortable double bed sofas in the living room. Adequately equiped for a self-catering holiday, we enjoyed its quirkiness, and it was great to see all the rabbits running around outside. The hut made a good base for a few days sightseeing in the area - a place well worth a visit - we particularly enjoyed the guided hike up to Exit Glacier.

Wifi cinnection seemed to be poor whilst we were there but I understand that this is being improved.

“Personality Plus!!! so much more than an average 'room'!”

When i looked at Alaska’s Point of View website, i had several places to choose from. the were all so tempting, but since i didnt have anyone other than myself on this trip, i decided to experience a WWII Quonset Hut, theres two of them, and i chose the Moonshine Hut, as that was the available one at the time. The small suite with a jacuzzi bath and fireplace was tempting, since it is winter, and the full suite with a kitchen, livingroom and separate bedroom was just bigger than i needed. there were other places too, it was really a hard choice, as they all looked interesting. Since the small suite was already booked, I chose the Moonshine Hut (World War II Quonset Hut). It looked so quaint, and i sure am glad i did! This rounded long building is sooooo cute! The first look at the inside was one of those OOOH-AAAAH moments of surprise! What impressive decorations and furnishings. Handmade touches everywhere, not your average hotel generic stuff. The place was just unique all the way around. There was stained glass in the wall, hand made coffee and end tables with all kinds of treasures in them, and the floors were painted, with different patterns in each room. It really gave me a feel of the old and the new. Even tho the outside was from the 1930's, the inside was very modern with a fully furnished kitchen, a bathroom (with on-demand hot water heater-a real plus), a bedroom with a queen bed and the back porch. The porch had patio doors with a great deck outside with a view of Resurrection Bay and the mountain range on the other side of it. OMG, the sunrise on the mountains was incredible. i enjoyed my tea from the inside to watch it, but i sure do want to come again in the summer, to sit and barbeque on the deck and smell the bay breeze and watch the frolicing bunnies. Yes! there are these adorable little wild bunnes hanging out in the fenced yard. They are so fun to watch, all colors, too, and lots of birds. Maybe next time i will see a moose....I am already plotting my return visit. i bet this place is busy, so i better book it soon! Debra, the host, has all the comforts of home in this little getaway. there is a book i could browse to let me know what to do on my off time, where to eat, play, and shop. Seward shopping is amazingly diverse, i got a headstart on Christmas without the crowds, and the food in town is some of the best! I cant wait to return to Seward and stay again in the Moonshine Hut.

“so great that I am writing a review while I am staying here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2010

my father & i are staying in the full suite, which is a huge space with a full kitchen & a gigantic bathroom. the view is spectacular! the owner is very nice & accommodating. there are a few surprising niceties like a towel warmer in the bathroom & a gas fireplace. also, free parking, free wi-fi, free cable. i love it!! we are here after tourist season (late september) & the rate for the entire suite is $75/night! i am a fairly easy breezy traveler, so it doesnt take much to impress me, but this is above & beyond my expectations. also, my father had never stayed in a b&b, so i think he was a bit apprehensive, but hes in love! one more thing - this is not your traditional b&b. there is bed, there is breakfast. but, its really a serviced suite - you dont have to go eat breakfast with strangers. breakfast is already in your kitchen & fresh bakery & fruit are left at the door for your morning feast at your leisure. highly recommended!!!
