Everything was Amazing!! Very quiet neighborhood out of town with the most amazing panoramic view of the mountains, estuary of Gastineau Channel, and a perfect view of Mendenhall Glacier. Loved watching the float planes & helicopters flying around, along with several bald eagles. Watching the extreme tide level changes was also very impressive. The Hosts were very accommodating and helpful with local information for things to do and places to eat..... Wished we would've had more time to just sit on the deck and visit with them and enjoy the scenery. We will definitely book here again !!!

Great Stay on North Douglas Island

The apartment was great, the location is wonderful for bird watchers (lots of sea birds and bald eagles). The location is a 10-15 minute drive to most anywhere in Juneau. It is nice and quiet at this VRBO. The hosts were helpful in sharing their considerable knowledge of the area.

Cute and clean

We enjoyed our stay here. Good views and a nice quiet area without being too far from town. There was a bit of noise from the main house but nothing unreasonable. Hosts gave us the privacy we wanted.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar 2020
We appreciate the feedback and regret that you had a noise issue. We have a dead air space between the apartment and our house, and a 45 minute insulated fire door. In the past, it has been our experience that if you keep the door from the apartment to the laundry area closed you have little or no noise transfer. However, we will make additional effort to control the noise from the main house. Sincerely, Betty & Mark Johnson

Vacation within a vacation

Every time we returned from town to on the wildlife refuge was like starting another vacation. So peaceful and beautiful. Our every need was met in this rental and the host went beyond expectations by providing starter groceries. We went to all parts of Juneau and can confirm that this location is very special- even the weather was better!
