We spent 6 days at Otters Hideaway for our honeymoon. We absolutely loved the location, not too far from Juneau but far enough that it feels secluded from the crowds. You're basically within 10-20 minutes from everything! Ela was a fantastic host, very friendly and communicative. You simply don't find hosts that think of everything their guests may need anymore. We enjoyed watching wildlife from the porch and opening the windows to fall asleep to the sounds of the tide. This place is cozy, comfortable bed, soft towels, well stocked kitchen to easily cook a meal, and spacious for my husband and I. We would highly recommend and stay again! Thank you, Ela for having us!

This was the most well supplied vrbo in which we have stayed. The owner was very friendly and accomodating. Communication could not have been better.

You can stop reading reviews now, and book this property! You won’t regret it. Absolutely perfect in every way. Ela was wonderful. Had everything you could possibly need for your trip. She even let Mel hang out with us on the deck. Tons of options for hiking, whether you want an easy stroll with breathtaking views, or hard treks through the forest. A few start right from the property, or just a short drive away. We didn’t really have a solid plan on what we were going to do, but Ela had a whole book of ideas along with restaurant recommendations. I can’t thank her enough. We had a blast! Highly recommend!

My wife and I were staying in Juneau to enjoy the sites and do some hiking, photography and excursions. Otters Hideaway was the perfect place to stay. The host was awesome, great communication and tips for the area. The place was clean and cozy, plenty of amenities. the back deck with the view of the bay is everything the pictures make you think it is. Our next trip to Juneau will probably revolve around whether this place is available agian!

The best VRBO we have ever rented. Ela our hostess was incredibly helpful, like a personal concierge. The view is amazing and we had everything we needed for a week in Juneau. Highly recommend!

The scenery is exquisite. The accommodations are all one could ask for, the property manager was helpful and kind! The Alaskan experience even included a benign neighborhood bear!

Otter’s Hideaway is a gem tucked away on the water with a view from a spacious deck. When the tide is out you can walk the beach to an island . The location is centrally located for any activity. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed for grilling at home. The hostess has created a charming and very comfortable paradise . I can’t wait to return.

The bed was comfortable, the views were amazing, the covered deck is a dream. A wonderful stay all around.

We loved this apartment! The view was outstanding, the apartment was superbly stocked and the bed was super comfortable. I have a little WFH side hustle and needed Wifi while on vacation, and I was pleasantly surprised to find lightening fast internet connection, as well. Ela gave us some great suggestions for hikes and things to do while in Juneau. She, her husband and dog, Mel, live upstairs and are very easy to contact if you have questions or need anything. Mel is a very friendly Goldendoodle doggo that came down and hung out with us a couple of times. If you’re not into dogs, just let Ela know, and she’ll keep him upstairs. While we weee there, we kayaked in the bay, walked out to Duck Island during low tide and spent our evenings outside on the beautiful deck overlooking Auke Bay. I can’t wait to go back next summer….highly recommend!!

Perfectly equipped property. Everything you need to make a home away from home.The accommodations are immaculate. The views from the porch are magnificent with plenty of wildlife to see. A group of porpoises kept us company throughout our stay. Thanks for hosting us

This was absolutely the perfect spot for our short trip to Juneau. Right on the water, extremely clean, comfortable and private. 10 minutes from town and the airport. Ela left a treasure trove of restaurant reviews and other local lore. Ela herself is a delight. Possibly my best travel experience. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Communication was quick, checkin was a breeze and Ella was wonderful. We arrived in the afternoon but left to visit friends. Upon turning in for the night the place was warmly lit, and nice oversized furniture welcomed us. The bed was amazing, I know. I can’t believe I’m writing about the king size bed but we slept great. Al waking up the next morning we finally saw the view of the ocean literally right outside the bedroom and living room window. Everything was perfect. Clean, comfortable and quiet. We can’t wait to visit Juneau again, and will book around her availability!

We could not have been more pleased to have chosen this spot for our week in the Juneau area. The evening we arrived, the sun. peeked out, we climbed in the kayaks out in front of the house, and we paddled around with porpoises, rainbows, and gorgeous mountain views. WOW. This place has everything you need and more - and in my opinion, the reason to come to Juneau is not the downtown, it's the gorgeous natural areas. So why not stay right in the heart of one? We are so glad we did!

As advertised. Cozy. Great view

Ela has truly thought of everything when furnishing this apartment. If we needed anything, she quickly provided (nutcrackers, for instance!). We hadn't seen our daughter in 19 months and having this lovely space to entertain her and visit with her friends was outstanding. Otter's Hideaway will always be our first choice when we visit Juneau. We look forward to staying with Ela and Mel again and again!

Ela we so enjoyed every minute of our visit. The views, flowers, berries, our time visiting with you, our walks along the waters edge and out to the island, and everything we would need or want inside the house was perfect. All of your suggestions on trails and places to visit were just perfect. We have returned home with beautiful pictures and memories of our time in Juneau. Thank you for sharing your home. You're the Best!!

Host was accommodating and friendly. The unit was clean, well maintained and pictured correctly. The view was spectacular. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and should have wished we could stay longer. Svein

We went to Juneau to visit our daughter who lives in the area and wanted a place where we can spend time with her away from the main tourist district. This was perfect. The house was cute, clean, decorated adorably and Ela thought of everything you could ever imagine that you might forget. She went as far as to do some research before our arrival on 4th of July activities in town for us. The area is in a quiet Cove with a beautiful view. Plenty of activities right at the house. Mel was also a great host as well, such a cute and sweet dog. When we return to Juneau, we definitely will be contacting Ela!

We were thrilled that we chose this spot for our Juneau vacation. The cozy and peaceful atmosphere that the host created can’t be beat. She was attentive to all the details to make it a wonderful stay. The view from the windows and the deck were a constant source of delight! 5 stars all the way!

Loved it here, the views are fabulous and it’s close to go into downtown. Ela has thought of everything, very thoughtful. It has everything you could need. Walk out to duck island and explore and great for wildlife. Highly recommended!

The location is beautiful. Too many nice touches to mention. One of the nicest stays we’ve had in decades of travel. Ela, the host, couldn’t have been any more welcoming. We would happily stay again. A+
