About this property

Beautiful Downstairs Studio for rent

Studio is in the downstairs of a large 7,000 sq. ft. home that sits on a private 2.5 acre lot with spectacular panoramic views of the ocean and mountains. Located in a beautiful setting, you will enjoy overlooking Sitka Sound, outlying islands and passageways. Eagles are abundant during summer months and on occasion you may spot deer roaming in our yard, or get to see whales out front.
Studio is a spacious, 1,275 sq. ft. space with a private entry. You will find a large, open floor plan with a well-equipped kitchen, full bathroom (we have a shower-no bath) and sleeping area.
For those who enjoy the outdoors we have a nice outdoor space for you to enjoy. This includes table & chairs if you want to sit out. * There is a queen, double, & sofa sleeper for beds. I’d say 3 sleep comfortably if two are doubling up on the queen bed. There is a daily fee of $25.00 for each additional guest over 2. We provide most all the comforts of home inside this cozy space. *Cleaning fee of $200.00 will be charged IF rental is left a mess.
**Please note: Since this studio is a downstairs rental you will hear noise from above as it is our living space, mostly during the day. We have dogs so you will hear them move about or occasional barking alerting us that someone is coming or going.
Although we love kids our rental is not suited for small children, older children who can follow inside rules as far as noise, breakables and such are welcome but this is not a child proof rental.
We have TV but it is not cable, we use internet TV You Tube TV which has plenty of channels to enjoy. If you have a Netflix password you can use that here as well.
* If you are an agency or employer and are renting this for someone else please provide us their full names & contact info (phone number, & address) as we will expect the guest to be who is signed up on this site. You will take full responsibility for any damages or additional fees they incur. Thank you!

Great place to stay. Roomy and clean. If you are bothered by dog noise such as running back and forth on the floor above and barking this may not be ideal. If that doesn’t bother you then you will love staying here. We had a rental car so getting in to town was a breeze. It’s a fair walk into town but doable. The car was great for getting to some of the more remote areas of Sitka for hiking and nature.

Beautiful view, spacious, comfortable & great host!

We loved our stay in the very large Studio. It was very comfortable, has lovely views of Sitka Bay and was fully equipped with everything we needed. It was the perfect place to call home during our six days in Sitka. If I ever emailed the host with a question, I received an immediate response. I didn't have many questions because the Host has a binder with everything you need to know about the property and great recommendations for what to do and where to eat in Sitka. We hope to return next summer!

Very uneventful. The power went out, which is common in small communities of Alaska, for a short period and the owner immediately contacted me to let me know what to expect. It came back on almost as fast as it shut off and life moved on. Very enjoyable stay.

Fantastic stay and everything as advertised.

My wife and i are traveling Alaska, As we were driving to the home we thought “ how can the views be as good as they looked on the ad.” We were very happy as we arrived and we did see the fantastic views we were hoping for. Wow what a beautiful place and well managed. I would defiantly stay there again

Quiet luxury with a great view.

This property is exceptionally well-appointed and clean. Great views of the water from a hillside location. Very quiet night and day. A bit of a hike from town, but taxis are plentiful and affordable.

Absolutely beautiful location, of a lovely house! The amenities and decor were really great! My husband would rate this all 5 stars. I'm a clean freak and felt that there were areas that could use improvement. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would look forward to visiting again!

This is a beautiful, well maintained property that easily accommodated 4 adults. Everything was neat and clean when we arrived. It is located just on the edge of town up on a hill. Gorgeous views and easy access to food and stores. It is beautifully decorated inside.
