About this property
Sandy Beach Sunrise Studio- Just steps from Sandy Beach & Treadwell trail!
Spacious Sunrise studio is located above our garage, providing an elevated view of surroundings from an abundance of windows that let in both the beauty and the light. The mountain and water views allow guests to enjoy the gorgeous wilds of Alaska from their own cozy haven decorated in warm hues of a sunrise. The queen-sized bed is a comfortable sleeping space for a couple, while the double sofa-sleeper provides additional sleeping space for children.
The rental is located right on historic Treadwell townsite, where guests can enjoy lazy walks through the forested trails that were once the streets of a booming gold mining town. Peppered with historic buildings, informative signs, and relics from times long past, the trails wind past babbling brooks out to Juneau’s best beach where views of Gastineau channel are made all the more beautiful by a backdrop of precipitous waterfalls cascading down to the shore. Sandy Beach Playground is a short jaunt further down the beach or trails. And for those wanting to gain some elevation on a longer hiking adventure, Mount Jumbo trailhead is just a five-minute walk around the corner.
When hungry, guests will enjoy the ease of preparing food in the fully equipped kitchen or on the bbq, or may instead choose to take a short scenic walk to the Douglas café or Island Pub, where they make amazing pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven. Other dining options, shopping and adventure also await in downtown Juneau, which is just a 10 minute drive in a private vehicle. You can also enjoy the convenience of public transportation to reach Juneau, with buses running every 30 minutes from the stop located just a block away.
We have strong unlimited internet, so you should have no problems connecting for telework or to share your adventures with friends and family. Other amenities that will make a stay more comfortable include a flat screen tv equipped with Roku for movies and entertainment, a washer and dryer, and private off-street parking. Because the unit is on the second floor, it must be accessed by stairs, and so it not a good fit for anyone with mobility issues.
Sorry, no pets or smoking inside the apartment or on the grounds.
Note: Our family of four lives in the log home adjacent to the rental. Although we are very respectful of our visitors with regard to noise, a bit of mild family sounds should be expected here and there during normal waking hours (7a-10p), such as our kids and friends and/or our bernedoodle pup romping around the property. Most of the time our location is very serene. Please feel free to inquire if any questions!

About the host
Hosted by Karin McCoy
Karin and Sanjay live in the upstairs the adjacent log home with their two children. They strive not to intrude on the privacy of their guests, yet are easily reached should their assistance be needed.
Why they chose this property
We have lived in Juneau since 2005, and are happy to share our local knowledge of the area. We love the location of our property "at the end of the road" on Douglas. The house is unique in that it is one of the few log homes in Juneau, the logs for which were pulled from the adjacent forest. The property is nestled at the rainforest edge above Sandy Beach and the historic Treadwell townsite and trails, and right around the corner from the Mt. Jumbo trailhead. We are a very quiet location away from the hustle, but still just a short walk to downtown Douglas and a 10 minute drive to downtown Juneau. And while our location has a lovely nestled-in-nature feel, it is fully equipped with everything you might need, including wifi, full kitchen and washer/dryer.
What makes this property unique
This property has uniquely easy access to some of the most stunning walks and hikes in Juneau. There are private stairs leading from the yard directly down to Treadwell trail, and you can be at the best beach in Juneau in just a couple minutes! You can sit in the apartment or on the deck looking at the mountains and listening to the adjacent babbling brooks while watching the eagles soar or the cruise ships slide by. Mt. Jumbo trailhead is a quick 5 minute walk away, and there is great hiking or trail running opportunities along the Treadwell Ditch trail. If you you want to be nestled in nature, but close to the action, this is your spot!
