Fantastic place!

What a great apartment - and Amber & Michael were perfect hosts. It was comfortable, well equipped and close to the airport and downtown. And that view - it was incredible to watch eagles and whales from the deck! We will definitely be back!

Amber and Mike are wonderful host! Very responsive to messages. The home is clean and in an amazing location. Humpback whales traveled past the house as well. It was an amazing stay; we did not want to leave. Advice: Avocados are 2.50 so if you eat as many as we do I suggest you buy some (not ripe) to bring with you. If you need ice go to Fish From Trish (she has great seafood for sale). Visit as many of the local lakes as you can. They are all beautiful and worth the hike.

Got to be best view in town

This unit is VERY spacious and very clean. Three private queen bedrooms with fairly comfortable beds, huge living areas and an open kitchen with lots of working area and seating for five with sturdy bar stools. A nice desk for working if you must. Beautiful laundry room with toiletries and coffee as well. The BBQ on the deck rocks, nice and hot :) The view is of course beyond compare, even the water pressure was great. The road out front can be busy so backing in is a must for parking. Highly recommend and would rent again in a heartbeat!

Perfect Ketchikan stay! The unit is huge and looks exactly like the photos, maybe even better. The view is beautiful, watch the cruise ships, boats and float planes go by, and see wild life as well. The unit has all amenities needed for an easy stay in Ketchikan. With the warm weather, we even got to have a few meals on the deck which was a bonus. Full size kitchen was helpful to have a few meals in.Don't be deceived by the outside upon arriving, because once you are inside the condo you will love it. Parking was right out front too. The owner, Amber, is great and very helpful and easy to communicate with. They live right next door so always there to help out if needed. One of us left something behind and Amber took care of sending it to us right away. Highly recommend this unit!

Awesome hostess and beautiful views

First of all our hostess Amber was outstanding. She went above and beyond and made our stay delightful. She answered multiple questions about the area, shared a few items we didn’t have, and even gave us a ride to the airport. The location was great. Close enough to everything but far enough away from the cruise ships to have a peaceful experience. The views from the back deck were spectacular. We spent several hours relaxing and watching boats and planes pass. Ward lake and Settlers cove were both within an easy 5-10 mile drive. I highly recommend spending time at both. Over all this is an excellent vacation rental. Highly recommended. Thanks Amber for an outstanding experience.

Incredible Spot!!!

First off, Amber was an amazing communicator. Totally friendly, helpful and responsive. Second, what an amazing place!! When you drive up, it's a 2-story building, not a house, which throws you off. But once you walk up the stairs and into the apartment... WOW! Everything is new. My family kept exclaiming how open and spacious it was. Very accommodating kitchen, living area and more. And then... THE VIEW! The deck out back was another favorite and really made this place shine above all others! We loved sitting on the deck and watching the bald eagles, cruise ships, many fishing boats and sea planes passing by! We barbequed on the deck and spent so much time sitting there enjoying the peace and quiet... so tranquil. And then the location! So close to everything and easy access. I can't wait to return to Ketchikan and will most definitely book to stay at Amber's place again!
