Great place to stay in in Girdwood

We loved our stay at this VRBO in Girdwood, AK. The home was updated and had everything we needed. Very convenient to everything in Girdwood and just up the road from Alyeska resort. It is also just a short 30 minute drive from Anchorage. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend if you are visiting.

Girdwood Getaway

This was a good overnight getaway. The place was very cute and has a lot of room. The heat was off, so it was fairly cold when we first arrived. But once we got the stove going it warmed up fairly quickly. Nice location.

Very pleasant apartment in Girdwood/Alyeska

We found the apartment perfectly suited for our needs. After reading some previous reviews we were a bit concerned but found the apartment spotless, comfortable, very well stocked with everything we needed. Location was great. The huge master bedroom bed was particularly well suited for tall people. We recommend!

It was convenient to the Kenai Peninsula. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had all we needed. It was very roomy. Unfortunately we were unable to use the jetted tub as there were no instructions or obvious controls. Hopefully we left the condition of the house to your liking as there were no instructions for the garbage, linens, etc.

Thoughtfully decorated modern place in great neighborhood. The only disappointment is that the blinds / curtains didn’t block light in the bedroom which was a problem considering Sun doesn’t really set , it was a problem falling asleep.otherwise there was attention paid to all the other detail.

Our girls trip

We loved the location and how much space we had for all 3 of us. The bathroom Mirror was on the floor, but we could still use it as a full length. No blender or ice maker, but we made due with what we had. If you use the tub make sure to grab a butter knife to get the plug out. Our overall trip was good though. We enjoyed the restaurants and the breweries. Thanks so much Heidi! I will definitely book with you again.

Great location, casual stay

Comfortable stay, perfect location for walking to Alyeska and biking. Plenty of towels and toiletries. Kitchen lacking some essentials like coffee pot, bottle opener/cork screw, plenty of dishes and pans though. Bathtub had a ring of dirt so did not use it and only one chair on back deck, so really no place to sit outside. Be aware this is a downstairs unit, listing is not super clear on that. I think it would be the perfect winter ski crash pad. The wii was fun and plenty of games.

Loud house

There is a system in this house for water diversion that is so loud and constant, it was a relief to leave! Old flanel "pilly" sheets & extremely cheap mattresses in "multi bed room" were very uncomfortable. Living room, Kitchen & Bathroom were good. Some instruction on washer/dryer combo would have been appreciated.

Didn't exactly match the property description or pictures.

There was a blue tarp on the roof upon arrival. The "garden" was completely overgrown and the other areas of the property were also unkept. It may have worked well for someone else but just didn't meet our expectations.
