This house was amazing. The location was amazing. The owner was amazing. Good contact House was super clean. Had everything we needed and more. I highly recommend it and would go back again.
Four of us stayed to celebrate my 50th. The views were stunning and the house was spotless! We are happy we rented a car to get back & forth to town. The kitchen had absolutely everything you could need for a family meal. The host even provided coffee & snacks upon our arrival. Don’t hesitate-totally worth it!
My family including hubby and I, three grown children and a 10 year old grandson stayed at the house for 5 days. The pictures do not show how big the house is. Starts with a landing that allows us to leave wet or dirty shoes before going upstairs to the huge kitchen and family room. There are two lounging areas which gives the family space to either be together or get some some room. The furniture in both rooms are incredibly comfortable. We used the large dining table for multiple meals that my daughters cooked in the very well appointed kitchen. The host provided everything needed to cook for 6 (or more). The bedrooms and baths were very comfortable and included upgraded linens and towels. We spent the most time on the huge deck with views of the water to watch the sea lions, boats and the eagles. At times we could see as many as 12 eagles at one time. We are grateful to have selected the Driftwood house and highly, highly recommend it to others.
My family gathered here for 5 days over Christmas. The weather was bad so we stayed inside a lot. The unit was very accommodating with several different gathering spots. The large dining table allowed for multiple puzzles and games to be played. There was also a large island in the kitchen, a reading area and a living room with a large, comfortable sectional. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. I highly recommend The Driftwood and would stay here again.

Comfortable house, picky owners
We were in Sitka visiting family who live there. This was not our first visit. We paid over 6k for a week stay, which is on the upper end of vacay house pricing. The house was in a nice location off the main road. This rental is NOT the entire house, just the upstairs. The downstairs is occupied. This was not clear in the listing.
The house, in general, was clean and reasonable. A twin bed broke from typical use. We were charged for this. We were also accused of taking items from the house, which is very untrue. Who steals an end table?
I would advise caution in choosing this home due to that factor. Otherwise, the house was fine.
A wonderful place to be after a day of sightseeing. Everything was so nice. We would book this house again.
