Stellar Views, Wonderful Family Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Hughes House was a delightful home for our family reunion. It met the needs of multi generations by everyone having their own space and providing a gathering spot in the kitchen or living room with breathtaking views. The kitchen had every appliance we needed. The house was clean and many thoughtful details went into this home, which made our experience staying at the Hughes House a warm and memorable experience.

Great Memories

My family and I enjoyed a lovely 5 day stay visiting the sites of Sitka. The Hughes house was a highlight … mornings watching the ocean out the kitchen window and eagles flying by was special. Close to a grocery store and downtown nearby made for easy visiting of the Sitka activities. Wonderful memories of our stay at Hughes home!

Sitka family vacation

We loved the house and area. Our family did not rent a car which was fine for us but you have to be willing to walk because town was about a mile and a quarter from town. One day we rented bikes and scooters. Very fun. Would recommend this house and area to all interested in the outdoors

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was in a good location and not that far from town. The scenic views of the harbor and mountains in the background were an absolute treat. Thank you for having some food and hygiene items on hand that would help any forgetful guests. The place was clean and pretty much comfortable. The Hughes House was the right size for our all our family and the extended family who live in Alaska. Thank you for the use of the property. Thank you for the binoculars as well. It made it easy to look at the wild life, boats and mountains up close. My husband walked down the road to watch a high school baseball game in the rain, which normally does not happen in most places in the lower 48. It was a great time for all. Yes, everything worked.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From check-in to check-out this vacation rental was perfect for our family vacation. Property owners were responsive and helpful when we reached out due to weather related flight changes. House was well kept and clean, located right on the water and walkable into town. Everything we needed was available for cooking or bbq including condiments and spices. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.

Great house!

Great house, very clean and well appointed. This advertisement is actually for a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath house. not a a 5 bedroom 2.5 bath. There is an additional charge which opens more rooms and an additional bathroom for you. Host was unwilling to open the rest of the home to us after arrival, even though we were willing to pay the additional fee to accommodate our large group. As a result, we were somewhat cramped and had to have one guest sleep on the couch. I would recommend the house, but the listing is misleading.
