This place was great! It’s located between the airport and downtown Anchorage so very convenient for coming and going. The whole place was recently renovated and very nicely done. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our group of two couples so we each had our own separate spaces. The living room was big and the kitchen was well appointed with new appliances and all the pots and pans needed for cooking in if you wanted. The place was very clean and well kept. We would definitely recommend the place and would stay the the next time we visit Alaska.

Extremely clean with up to date interior. Convenient to airport and several parks that we checked out in search of moose. Would definitely stay again.

The property was very clean and looks just like the pics. Plenty of towels, fully stocked kitchen and a washer and dryer. I would recommend coming to the house first before you go shopping. There were 3 adults so there was plenty of room. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Anchorage. It’s only about an hours drive to Whittier, the Alaskan Conservation Center (a must see) and the Alaskan Helicopter Tours. We would definitely stay here again if we came back to Anchorage. Thank you for making this a very memorable occasion. Oh, and we saw a male and female moose on the way to the airport.

This is indeed a beautiful house. Not only was it clean and comfortable, everything we needed was there. Even things we didn’t think we needed. I appreciated the aleve in the bathroom cabinet when I arrived with a headache after a long day of travel. There were ample towels and blankets. All the furniture and linens were high quality.

House was perfect for our 2 night stay before cruise. We were happy there is laundry facilities so we could get everything washed up before our cruise. We had rented a car and spent a couple of nights near Denali and enjoyed the park. Did the Anchorage Trolley, Ulu knife factory, Potters Marsh and Earthquake Park. Good food at 49th State Brewery and Moosetooth Pizza. Just a great house and we thank you for it!

The house is a Diamond in the rough. The outside has been recently painted and the inside completely remodeled. It is very nicely done. The neighborhood appearance might make you question your choice but this house is a gem.

We enjoyed our stay in Anchorage. Bee was easy to communicate with and answered any questions I had in a very timely manner. The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It also had a couple of unexpected amenities such as a full sound setup on the living room TV and an Amazon classic Bluetooth enabled speaker. My husband appreciated these features. The house was also close to downtown Anchorage and good restaurants. Highly recommend staying at this property.

Our group of girls had a bachelorette party weekend here. The space was very clean, everyone complimented how home-y and relaxing our stay was! We especially loved the nespresso. Our host Bee was quick to respond and accommodating. If I’m in the area I will definitely choose this place to stay again!

This house is newly renovated on the inside. It is beautiful and very clean. I initially reserved this house because it was an affordable option near the Anchorage airport for our last night in Alaska. It was a lot cheaper than getting 2 hotel rooms. This home exceeded our expectations. Bee was great to work with. She was very accommodating in allowing for a late checkout when our flight was changed from early morning to late night. We stayed in 7 different vrbos in Alaska at all price ranges and everyone agreed that this home had the best showers of them all. It also had the best TV by far. The coffee and espresso makers and supplies were a nice bonus. We felt safe in the neighborhood and it was close to shopping and restaurants. Rent this house, you won't be disappointed!

While this place may not look like much from the outside, the inside is gorgeous with thoughtful amenities. Comfortable beds and sufficient closet-space. Only an 8 minute drive from downtown, and in a quiet neighborhood. A great find!

Didn't see exterior photos in the original post, so days before our trip when we saw them, we were a little worried as the outside looks a little rough. But I assure it doesn't matter! It is a nice neighborhood, close to a school and park with lots of kids around. It has bunnies that visit your yard in the mornings and evenings.....my daughter loved that. The exterior of the house doesn't matter! The interior is adorable. The beds are comfortable. Plenty of space for a family of 5. Lots of accommodations. Two showers (one with a bath and the other with dual showers....my kids loved that). Washer and dryer in the unit. Bikes in the shed to use around the neighborhood. A fully functional kitchen for eating in and a full size refrigerator for all your needs. The heater works well and the windows and insulation keep the house temperature good when it was cold and rainy. The owner thought of all the little details. Extra toilet paper, laundry detergent, shampoo and soaps and extra loofahs and tooth brushes if you forgot yours. Close to the grocery store, gas and parks. Easy access to the highway and 8 minutes from anywhere! It was a great find. Thank you Bee for sharing your home.

The hidden beauty of this property is the interior remodeling by the hosts. Tastefully and beautifully upgraded, fom the kitchen to the bathrooms! Nice soaking tub in bath #1 and amazing tiled, walk in two-head shower in master bath. All appliances updated, just a very pleasant atmosphere inside.
I'm an android person so had a little trouble figuring out the dish network/apple TV system, but found plenty to watch. Would definitely recommend!

Definitely a diamond on the inside, looks newly renovated and beautifully fresh inside. The outside was a little concerning to drive up to but we suspect this is a project in stages and will be updated as resources allow. The owner was great and we ran into her at the coffee shop.

It Works
Four guys staying one night to catch a flight the next morning.
The communication was great and it was very clean.
The description said it had 4 beds but it counted the sofa as a bed which I thought would pull out into a bed but it was just a sofa. Also there were no linens for it either. Had to grab extra pillow from other bed and a blanket.

Little Gem close to Airport and Downtown
We are a family of five traveling to Alaska for a summer vacation. We chose this Vrbo because it was close to airport and downtown. The unit was clean, comfortable and newly remodeled. Beds were great and bathrooms were clean and new. I highly recommend this unit if you’re in town visiting.

Absolutely perfect place-as soon as you walk in the door on this completely modern interior remodeled home you should be excited. Roomy, clean, great bed, oversize tub or double shower to rejuvinate. One of the nicest rentals we have stayed at in a long time. Thanks for the stay
