About this property

Blue Mussel Beach- Spectacular, serene, waterfront home

Blue Mussel Beach is located in the small, quiet, beach front community of Indian Cove. Spectacular views greet you from the moment you walk through the door. Gazing at the cove, you will often see wildlife. Eagles are frequent visitors to the cove, keep your eyes open. Watch salmon jump, porpoise quietly glide through the water. Relax and enjoy the wildlife, read a book or head out to adventure in Juneau, Alaska. Whale watching, Glacier trekking, hiking, kayaking and fishing, just to name the favorites.
Furnished in mid-century modern, with Alaska beach accents, Blue Mussel Beach will make you feel right at home.
Living room, dining and kitchen provide spectacular views of the cove, while bedrooms are a quiet, relaxing escape. Small theater room available for movie watching or a quiet work space. Bathrooms are both modern, clean and comfortable.
Linens are silky smooth to enhance your comfort and enjoy a refreshing night of sleep.
Covered deck will allow you to relax by the fire pit or grill your freshly caught Alaskan salmon. Enjoy dining and lounging outside, regardless of Alaska weather, but always prepare for rain!
Beach access is but a few steps away, enjoy beach combing on our shores. Rock skipping is a favorite past time of cove residents.
Car rental recommended as public transportation is not available. One parking space is available for off-street parking.
While Blue Mussel Beach is located " out the road", you will discover everything in Juneau is less than 30 minutes away. Grocery shopping and the airport are less than 5 miles away. Closest marina is 5 mins away. If you are traveling via the Alaska Marine Highway, we are walking distance from the ferry terminal.
Bustling downtown Juneau, is only 25 mins away if you are looking for fine dining or fun shopping. Cruise ships dock in downtown daily, provided endless people watching!

One of a kind stay in Juneau
The home is beautiful and the view is ridiculous. You literally wake up every morning to see the ocean right in front of you. The hosts have provided a well-furnished, clean, and comfortable place to stay. We hope to return next year so don't book our week!!

What a Gem
We came in town for a wedding and we were looking for a calm place to decompress between festivities and boy did we find it. Kathy was so easy to communicate with and the property was amazing. Super clean and had everything we needed. We saw eagles, sea lions, and deer, and that was just from the living room. We didn't turn the TV on once. What a great spot.

Spectacular View
I was so impressed with all of the touches . Kathy went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked dishes, cookware, Saran, and baggies. The bathrooms each had shampoo, conditioner, bath wash and lotion. I really appreciate this. I get so frustrated with properties that do not provide the basics. I would definitely stay here again.
