We worked and lived in Juneau for years so we know our way around. This was our 4th VRBO stay in Juneau in 4 years. Location wise this is perfect. You overlook a working, active boat harbor and launch facility. The commercial fishing fleet was tied up there, the tourist fleet is also there. You can walk to brew pubs, restaurants and a quick market for beverages, food and gasoline. When we return we will be looking for availability of this rental.
Lovely location, large accommodations, clean, free parking, and close to lots to do including a convenience store and Forbidden Peak Brewery. Downtown 13 minutes away.

Thanks Mitchell! I'm glad you like our location and we hope to see you back!
The location was great right on Auke Bay and walkable to several spots, with downtown just about 15-20 minutes away. Communication was consistent and apartment was just what we needed for the week.
Beautiful location. Juneau is a great place to be stranded. We caught lots of Salmon from shore, and Flounder, Sole, and Pacific cod from the dock. We released all the salmon and had several meals of the flounder and sole. The hiking trails were also great. We will be back!

Very well kept very clean. The views are amazing watching the boats come in and out of the harbor was just relaxing. He had mountains behind the water. The sunset was just outstanding. Property management was very easy to deal with. Makes it easy as possible for you to sign in And to leave.

I liked being in the Auke Bay marina. Great busy Marina with a lot to watch from balcony. The negative is the same. Busy, loud. Right by the garbage dumpers being opened and closed at all hours of the day.I would stay again.
Prior to arrival we knew it wasn’t a new remodeled place but we rented it because of the location and it was as described and we enjoyed or stay. Comfortable beds and all kitchen utensils available. Responsive owners.
It’s just a few blocks from the University of Alaska Southeast, which is worth touring. There’s even a bus that will take you downtown with a stop a few hundred feet away. Be aware that it’s on the third floor. So you have to haul your stuff up stairs. The overlooks Aike Bay harbor.
Stayed here for my daughter while she investigated UA. All in all this is a good property but not great. Odd smell and horrible stairs. Not suitable for anyone with any kind of walking problem.
