Owner Renna Martin says she hopes the next caretaker won’t seek drastic changes to a place that has become a beloved destination for locals and visitors.
The iconic Seaview Cafe and Bar, a longtime favorite summertime stop for locals and visitors in Hope, didn’t open this summer. The business is for sale.
“We’ve had lots of interest,” she said. “We’re just kind of really looking for the right fit, you know? We want to preserve the spirit of the Seaview and its historical value.”Renna Martin has operated the Seaview Cafe and Bar since 1999. She’s selling the business because she plans to retire. The original construction of the Seaview followed the start of commercial gold mining in the late 1880s, which by the turn of the century had drawn thousands of Outsiders to the Cook Inlet region. For a short time, Hope bustled in a way that requires imagination to picture now.
Hope businessman Iver “Doc” Nearhouse operated his general store there from 1959, according to “Snapshots at Statehood,” published by the Kenai Peninsula Historical Association. Some longtime locals and visitors say the Seaview’s bar once had a rougher frontier vibe. Martin made many changes over the years, including rewiring the building and the 25-space RV park, rebuilding the foundation under the bar, completely revamping the kitchen, building a deck, adding a walk-in cooler, and reconstructing a breezeway between the two main buildings.
