Just as listed, quiet, out of the way, but not too far from town. Great facilities, just wish I had time to use them to their full capability.

This place is a hidden gem! We were surprised at how comfy and quiet it was. It put us exactly where we wanted to be in Sitka do hike, explore and still be close to shopping in town. The hosts did a fantastic job of making sure everything was perfect for us. The bed was very comfortable and the view from the living room was beyond spectacular. We could see lots of otters playing in the water from the table by the window. We spent quite a bit of time using the provided binoculars to watch boats coming in and out of the bay, watching for other sea critters and viewing the bald eagles flying by. What an amazing experience we had. If we ever have the chance to visit Sitka again, we will definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything.

The property was lovely & comfortable, well-appointed, & very clean. It's a downstairs apartment but still had a view of the bay. Our hosts were friendly & helpful & very conscientious about any noise from upstairs. It was an excellent experience & we would rent from them again.

The hosts (Pam and Mike) are gracious, exceptional folks. They went above and beyond for us and made our stay in their “paradise” one we’ll never forget. The views, accommodations and location were excellent all the way around. We feel truly blessed most of all to have met Pam and Mike and for the opportunity to enjoy gorgeous Sitka from their “home base”. Becky, Jay (and Benny)

About the host

Hosted by Mike and Pam Kernin

Host profile image
Mike and I are longtime Sitkans. If we can't answer a question about our community we probably know someone who can. We are active both on land and in the ocean and enjoy helping our guests enjoy Sitka.

Why they chose this property

The rental is in the lower portion of the home that Pam grew up in and was built by her parents. We overlook beautiful Jamestown Bay where we can often see Eagles, Whales, and other creatures. Closer to home we Hummingbirds in our feeders, Blue Jays, various other small birds, squirrels, and often Deer in the front lawn.

Our rental is located in a small, quiet neighborhood where we know each other personally and watch out for each other. It has been home for almost 50 years where four generations have grown together.

What makes this property unique

I am a little partial to the neighborhood since I have been here for almost 50 years. Looking out over Jamestown Bay and the expanse of the ocean you can feel like you are lost in your own little oasis but really town, boating, hiking, and Sitka amenities are only a couple of miles away.
