The house of clean and well kept. The location was perfect for being within walking distance to most things Sitka. The property manager was very nice to work with. We arrived late at night and needed to have distilled water for a C-Pac machine. I called the afternoon we were to arrive and asked whether it could be arranged to have distilled water at the house and it was!

Very nice. Clean, lovely view. A couple of issues: the water faucet in the kitchen sometimes just stops working. Nobody touches the lever, it just stops. Period! Also, with all those beds and 3 bathrooms, why would you have exactly ONE hairdryer, and that one improbably hidden in the laundry room??

Excellent stay - photos under sell the place

The place was very nice and well laid out with plenty of room. Very bright and open living room and kitchen. Extremally close to town (can walk everywhere or take public transportation). Think the photos of the place undersold it in the summer
