Fun trip
The property was very clean and in a convenient location. My kids had a great time playing in the backyard and it was nice to come back and relax after our long day.

SECURITY CAMERA IN UNIT / NO HOT TUB
This was horrible!! There is a security camera bolted to the wall in the living room, the hot tub was empty and frozen with inches of standing ice (ruined). It is a town house (not a single family house) and the jacuzzi is gross and old.. I could not get it to hold water, we left after we saw the camera, about an hour after check in.. worst experience EVER!

Last Minute
Last minute decision to travel to Anchorage. Stayed one night due to distance of travel. Easy to book and the home was cozy. Location was within minutes of all our adventures.

Great place convenient location
Clean and comfortable place. Would stay here again. The hot tub was great to soak in after a long day of sitting on the bleachers at my daughter’s wrestling tournament.

Comfortable beds in a working class neighborhood
We only stayed overnight but the property seemed comfortable and well-appointed. Beds were great! The closets in the two lower level bedrooms were HUGE...you could easily put a kids bed in each of them and still had a ton of space. The laundry room was VERY warm and made the bedroom that housed that access a bit warm as well. Loved the Jacuzzi on the back porch even if we didn't have time to try it out. The back yard was charming, with a stream running through it. We were concerned on arrival when we noticed the significant damage to the wall by the front door. It looked like someone had backed into it with a car. While there was a table in front of it to mask the damage, it was even more apparent when you opened the front door and entered the home. We were concerned about the integrity of the wall and safety at that point. We understand that things can happen, but I would have appreciated a heads-up about that issue prior to our arrival. Our only other concern was the surveillance camera located in the living room facing the kitchen. We felt violated by having this camera inside the house. Overall, it is a nice property and the location was near the places we needed to be.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 27, 2023
thank you for your response. Regarding the damaged wall. Yes it was backed into with a great deal of force. Unfortunately, insurance claims are a slow and tedious process having lasted three and half months to date or it would have been repaired prior to you arrival. We try to advise our guests what to expect understanding it can be quite a surprise when they first see it. Unfortunately, sometimes life interferes and we simply overlook who as been notified and who hasn't. I apologize that your group didn't receive the heads up prior to arrival.

First trip to Alaska
It was a lovely place to stay. The only complaint we had was the bedrooms downstairs were extremely hot at night. Bedroom upstairs we could open the window, didn't want to open the windows downstairs due to them being ground level. Other than that, we loved it.

This place was very nice and it was more than I expected. My children loved the little creek and playing in the yard. I would recommend this to my family and friends.

Thank you Sabrina for your kind review. Our kids also enjoyed the creek also. Wading in it on a hot day was their favorite.

Great house and location!
This was out first time visiting Alaska, and we stayed here 2 different times as bookends to our trip. The house is great and very clean. Felt like a safe, quiet neighborhood, and the location is in a very convenient spot for getting to great restaurants, grocery stores, and activities. We ate out quite a bit, but the kitchen is set up with lots pots and pans if you wanted to eat in. The hot tub was a fun addition that the kids really enjoyed. This was our first time staying somewhere that didn't have a list/binder of house rules, so we were unsure of some specifics with staying and the host's expectations for leaving the house upon check out. Highly recommend this place if staying in Anchorage!
