“Excellence in a small package”

Seldovia is an excellent get away and Harbor's Edge B&B is just the place to get away too. Although it's just a short trip from my home in Alaska, it truly is a different place. You can feel the tension subside as you immerse yourself in a totally different world.

The Harbor's Edge represents a great vista from which to experience this charming community. My room had a view of the harbor and I was able to enjoy the sites from my room. The owners of this property have invested in maintaining a great place (almost resort like in its features). The detail shows in their commitment to hospitality, right down to the comfortable linens. They are extremely knowledgeable of the area and helped fill my schedule with activities. They were charming at all times and I am hoping to go back again soon.

Bring your camera and a sense of adventure. Whether it's a walk on the beach, fishing off the bridge in the center of town or taking in the art and food of the great Seldovia businesses, you're in for a treat.

“Great Place”

My wife & I took a three day trip to Seldovia while in Alaska and stayed at this B&B. Excellent service and great people to deal with. Could not have asked for better hosts. Rooms were spacious, charming, & well appointed.
Our only difficulty came not with the B&B, but with finding other things to do. It was too early for berry picking & in the middle of two good salmon fishing runs. It rained HARD most of the time we were there which limited available offerings. Our ocean fishing trip was cancelled. Limited amount of activities to entertain ourselves proved to be the only dislike.

“Captain Tom - great to go on a fishing charter with!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2008

person found this review helpful

My husband and I, as well as another couple we know, went fishing with Tom Keesecker while in Seldovia. Tom was a great captain and was able to teach us a lot about fishing in the area, how to do it, what to catch and all the rest that goes along with it. We enjoyed a day full of halibut, mixed in with a few dog fish sharks, which we threw back. We saw other sea life including humbback whales, sea otters and many types of sea birds. Tom also told us a lot about the surrounding areas - native lands, volcanoes and the bays and inlets that dot the landscape.

All in all, we had an amazing time and are enjoying all the halibut we cought and shipped back to our home (thanks to the help of Peggy & Dave Cloninger at Seldovia Fishing Adventures Inc.).

Thanks Tom! We had such a great time! See all our pictures below!

  • Liked — Tom was great to spend the day with and fish with!

“Harbors Edge B&B is a diamond in a coal field. Experience the real Alaska.”

Want to find a DIAMOND in a coal field? Read on!!! My wife and I flew to Alaska for our very first time. We stayed with our daughter in Seward who works there. She told us about Seldovia and its quaintness & remoteness. We decided to go there for an overnight stay and bought our fishing licenses (just in case). We called Harbor's Edge B&B & made reservations for our stay plus reservations to go fishing. We drove our rental car to Homer & parked at Homer Air. We bought tickets to fly to Seldovia since the only way you can get there is by boat or airplane. Flying was the best choice for us due to time. We made a fast 15 minute flight & were picked up by Captain Tom Keesecker, owner & charter boat operator. Upon arriving at Harbor's Edge B&B, we met his wife , Peggy, and were shown our quarters. It was (and is) beautiful with a maritime motif throughout the suite. Even the carpet was aquamarine in color. There was a very comfortable king size bed plus 2 twin beds in the ajoining room. The closet space was large. The kitchen was completely furnished with first class dinnerware, silverware, & cookware (much to our surprise & delight). There was a TV with satellite reception, a large refrigerator, electric range & oven, and a table and several chairs by the window with a view of the harbor across the street. They provided an electric clock, exotic teas, coffee, and sugar/sweeteners too. Captain Tom presented us with two complimentary insulated blue drinking glasses with sliding opening at the top (so you could drink without spilling the contents). We were absolutely amazed at the cleanliness& completeness of the suite. It was spotless. The bathroom featured a wonderful glass shower and the lavatory was solid wood with an inset sink and a custom faucet fixture. We had a relaxing day strolling through Seldovia & taking in the sights and sounds. All the local restaurants were first class too. After a wonderful night of rest, we joined Captain Tom to go on our fishing trip. His boat is first class too and as spotless as Harbor's Edge B&B. He also features Sight Seeing Tours besides Fishing Charters. His reputation in town is impeccable, which really made us feel very comfortable and safe on the fishing trip. We fished for Halibut for quite some time. Got bites, but couldn't catch any, since they were moving due to the season. So Captain Tom changed the rigging on our fishing poles to catch Silver Salmon, which indeed we did!!! After returning to dock, he cleaned & prepared our catch so that we could bring it with us back to Seward & eventually back to our home in El Paso, Texas. Reluctantly, we packed our things & said goodbye to Peggy and Captain Tom drove us back to the airport where we caught our return flight to Homer. Everything went off without a hitch! That's hard to beat anywhere!!! WE do plan to return to our "Diamond" as soon as possible. We highly recommend anyone that wants a real taste of Alaska to book reservations at the Harbor's Edge B&B, [--] Don't miss out on an affordable and exciting opportunity for fun and relaxation in the most charming of places you could dream about. Sincerely, Patrick & Wilma Crowe, El Paso, Texas

“We were the only tourists in town!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2006

people found this review helpful

Found this charming B&B through TripAdvisor, and had a wonderful time. Seldovia is a town of 300 accessible only by boat or a 10 minute flight from Homer. Arriving in September, we were delighted to find ourselvs bug free and literally the only tourists in town. The owners, Peggy and Tom, are really "living the dream" and could not have been friendlier or more accomodating, from having us up for a glass of wine to taking us out for an after dinner cruise on the bay in their boat! For those looking for a unique "real Alaska" experience, Seldovia and the Harbor's Edge is perfect.

  • Liked — It is actually a self-contained apartment with a full kitchen and separate enrance, in a town wher you can walk to any and every location.
  • Disliked — not a thing!
  • Tips/Secrets — Make time for Seldovia, even as a day trip from Homer!
