Healy Vacation

The host was the best. She offered to help with reservations and saved us a significant amount of money on our Denali bus adventure, on which, by the way, we saw most of Denali. The house was very attractive, with lots of acreage, and it was very well-appointed. We were very pleased with the entire experience. Highly recommended!

Beware: Second Home in Denali is not like home unless you live in a construction site.

In 20 years of VRBOs, I've never needed to file a public complaint until staying at Second Home in Denali, in Healy, Alaska. Our party of 6 rented two homes in Alaska. We chose "Second Home in Denali" because we thought it was a quiet, luxury home in a beautiful location. We did not get that. Days before arrival (after cancellation dates) I got an email that "construction is STILL going on at the apartment to the side of your rental." I wasn't sure what that meant, but since we paid 10 months prior, what to do? RENTERS BEWARE: This meant full house renovation 9 a.m. to 5/6 p.m. Weekends included. The owners are building a separate apartment inside the VRBO just beyond a locked hollow core door. We listened to air compressors, nail guns, tile saws, contractor music and conversations all week. Dust seeped under doors. When I asked Ann to come see, she asked what compensation would be fair. When we told her half of what we paid, she started avoiding us. She denied each request to pause construction. Ann reimbursed us half her profit in the end, but it's not half what we paid. She said VRBO takes too much. We are not satisfied. When she said my mother, age 79, should've napped at her house and closed the second story bathroom curtains if she didn't want construction workers looking in (they worked on all house windows), I decided to warn others. Ann and Terry were the only negative in an otherwise perfect trip of a lifetime.

Amazing Host

The house was perfect for us. It had tons of space and everything we needed. The location was ideal. What truly stood out was our host. We left a ukulele at the property by accident, and she went to tremendous lengths to return it to us. There were many messages back and forth, coordination with a bus driver, and a long trip to deliver it to the bus. Ann has a huge heart and we are very grateful to her.
