Great House! Great View!

Unique, clean and comfortable. We spotted seal lions and eagles while exploring the beach and observed a pod of orca whales swimming by while enjoying brunch in the kitchen! The wood stove kept us cozy during our winter wonderland visit! We will definitely stay here again.

Spectacular home!

This home was spectacular! Spacious living area, comfortable beds, amazing views, plenty of privacy and the beachfront access at the property is among the best in Juneau. Our group of 12 enjoyed every bit of our time at the home. We will definitely look to book this home again next time we are in Juneau.

Liked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication, location
The host entered and exited the house during the day while were out. Numerous times during our stay. It seemed he was lurking around the home and in and out with out reason the entire time we were in Juneau.Kind of spooky.

WOW

Gigantic house, tastefully furnished, fully stocked.Tons of indoor and outdoor space for kids to adventure, cozy fireplaces, and lovely neighborhood for walks to picnic areas. But the best part??? This view is INCREDIBLE. Nothing like it. Life is better on the beach.
