Very nice VRBO, clean and well maintained. It was a nice quiet area and although we didn't have much time to enjoy the walking paths, it nice to have them.

Fish on

Had a great stay at your home. Everything was clean and it was a great location. The washer and dryer were perfect!! The only thing that could have been better would be a clean grill with propane.

A great place to spend quality time with Friends

The house was such a wonderful and comforting place to return to at the end of a day exploring Valdez with friends. Having such a well appointed kitchen allowed us to eat breakfasts together and when we were worn out after a long day, we could come back and rest on the cozy couch or play board games at the large dining table.

Great alternative to a hotel

I am in Valdez on a frequent basis for work and have stayed in hotels and other VRBOs. This one had lots of space, massive kitchen, and a really comfortable couch to crash on after a long day of work. There is a large driveway for parking, high speed internet, and a laundry room….all necessities when working/playing in Valdez.

Pleasantly surprised

I wasn’t really sold by the photos but I’m glad I listened to the other reviewers and booked this one. Very clean, comfortable house in a good location. Bedrooms were roomy, with comfy beds, and had much appreciated blackout curtains. Large washer and dryer were a nice bonus.

5 Adults Exploring Alaska

The property was comfortable for our group of 5 adults (2 couples and a single friend). It is close to the harbor area, and we found a nearby hiking trail that we enjoyed. It was sufficiently equipped such that we could cook our breakfasts and lunches. The property manager was responsive to our needs.

Summer Getaway

This was the 2nd year in a row that we visited this beautiful town and stayed at this quiet rental. Everything was as is listed once again. We had a wonderful time. Cooked some good food and met some great folks. We're Alaskans, so it's nice to communicate with familiar folks like Jennie! We would recommend this place to anyone looking to be in the heart of Valdez as we were able to walk, bike and wheel around not only the neighborhood but get to everywhere else in town within a reasonable time limit. Thanks again & maybe we'll see you again next summer!
