Picture perfect views at the Salty Sea

JenniferRating, 5 stars7 months ago

I can’t thank Amber enough for allowing my family to make such wonderful memories at this location. We are a family of 7 (6 adults and 1 child) and this space more than accommodated our needs. Our grandson (under 2 years of age) especially loved the entertainment of the Tongass Narrows which provided up close viewing of cruise ship traffic, boats and barges coming and going, plenty of birds to be seen, and airline traffic coming and going. The space felt like home from the time we entered the location. Having a full service kitchen allowed us to shop locally and cook and eat meals together as a family as well. As a runner, I left on foot multiple times throughout our stay and ran numerous miles in both directions. I felt completely safe at all times doing so. Amber was a great host. We communicated often and she was readily available to provide helpful tips to make our stay most comfortable. Amber- our grandson thanks you for supplying us with some toys and books as well.

Chic Downtown Stay on Water-Shops/Dining/Walkable

DavidRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Stayed several days and especially appreciated the central location and ease to wander around Creek Street and downtown. My dad lives close by and it was ideal from that perspective. It was easy to get in - just be aware that you need to climb some stairs to get to the suite I was in on the third floor. I slept well each night and the shower was hot and clean. I’d stay again.

The living area features a dark sofa with a textured throw, paired with a decorative armchair. A glass coffee table holds a few books, while a flat-screen TV is mounted nearby. Natural light enters through windows, enhancing the spacious feel of the room.

Beachwood Hideaway #1

Mary BethRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Sarah was super accommodating! The place was perfect for our stay - and affordable. It’s an older house, so there is not much sound barrier between upstairs neighbors and the apartment but that’s often how apartments are anyway. The bus stops right outside the house and there is a nice bike path as well.

A cozy seating area is depicted with a dark blue sectional couch featuring plush cushions. A small side table with a light blue finish is positioned nearby. A window above the couch allows natural light to brighten the space, complemented by wooden trim.

Ketchikan's Whale Tale Casita, a small house

DelvanRating, 5 stars6 months ago

This was the perfect basecamp for me when I first got into town. Quiet, well away from the hustle and bustle of the cruise ship docks, and a much shorter drive from Settler's Cove / Lunch Creek than most of the places listed in town.

Comfy Coastal Vibe w/ Large Deck -mountain views!

SusanRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a wonderful stay at Deborah & Chris’ place in Ketchikan! It was the perfect mix of cozy comfort and modern amenities. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, providing helpful local recommendations and making sure everything was just right. The apartment was spotless and had everything we needed – from a fully equipped kitchen to a warm and inviting living space. Location-wise, it couldn't have been better. Conveniently located to the high school, ferry and airport. It’s also a short drive to downtown Ketchikan. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting Ketchikan – it's truly a hidden gem!

Spacious Apt Downtown KTN

CarolynRating, 5 stars8 months ago

The place looked exactly like the pictures was very very clean. Lovely big windows. With lots of light. located in a really active area of the town. Walkable to stores, restaurants, etc. communications with Jamie were always very fast and very responsive to any questions we might have. I liked the way the bedrooms were set up. With two king/queen beds and then another room with two twin beds. The two big beds mattresses were really comfortable. This kind of set up is really great for many different arrangements of visitors. Jamie provides a paid for parking pass where you can park in any public area downtown, but in Ketchikan, parking is sparse. There is a parking lot directly across from the apartment building where we stayed, but it fills up really quickly and street parking is very rarely an option. We found that you can almost always get a space in the early morning hours and mid afternoon and after six pm, just plan your outing accordingly. A+.

Mountain Point of View - Beautiful Apartment

MarleneRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Love this place so much. Was staying at another Airbnb. That was too noisy and way too small for the exact same price. Found this one last minute I was able to book it same day for six days. Nice quiet location easy access to the apartment love that they had all kinds of amenities in the kitchen and bathroom for us to use 10 and 10 will book again.

Celtic Suite

DavidRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Great location right across the street from the Thomas Basin boat harbor. It is off the beaten path just enough that the masses of cruise ship tourists aren’t flooding past constantly. However, it is also about a 30 second walk to Creek Street and a few minutes to downtown. The apartment was larger than I expected and I felt right at home. The owners were friendly but definitely not intrusive. I highly recommend staying here.

Ketchikan Northern Retreat

MarkRating, 5 stars9 months ago

We loved our stay here. We were close enough to Knudson cove for our boat and 10 minute drive into town. Very clean, beds were comfortable after long days of fishing, everything you’d ever need in the kitchen. We had 4 of us, so it was nice having two bathrooms. Huge freezer on the porch for our catch. Amanda was great with communication. We will definitely stay here again!

Jason and Shelly's place was worth every penny. It had every possible gadget a kitchen can have. Everything was spotless, even the windows, which is really important for good photos of the colony of seals! The WiFi was excellent. Just a great stay all around!

Comfortable Apartment with Vaulted Ceilings

RobinRating, 5 stars2 months ago

I know this may come off as trite or exaggerated but believe me when I say this is hand's down the very best AirBnB experience I've had in the US. Alaska is home for me & I travel all over the state for business. I am accustomed to AK standards for "lovely accommodations" & I am telling you now Amanda (who always responded promptly) & her property far surpass even Anchorage's Hotel Captain Cook. When I booked her pet friendly home I must admit I was a little bit wary expecting there to be a lingering odor of poo or, even worse, urine but such was not the case. Everything in the kitchen is where you'd expect it to be. The setting was a perfect 15min distance from downtown with a small but quality grocery store along the way. The nearby beach is sandy (rare treat in AK) & Ward Lake is nearby offering a wonderfully relaxing stroll as well as giant fireplaces beneath pavilions which allow for enjoyable gatherings in spite of classic Southeast AK Weather. I will definitely return!

A cozy living area features a stone fireplace with a wooden mantle, complemented by decorative accents. Two shaded windows allow natural light, while a metal coffee table sits on plush carpet, providing a warm gathering space. A dark sofa adds comfort to the room.

Refuge Cove retreat

BarryRating, 5 stars8 months ago

This was a nice clean place and has feather beds! Having laundry facilities was a real plus. It is in a quiet neighborhood. A large library of books is available. Because it is miles from central Ketchikan there are increased transportation costs to stay here. This family was often able to provide some shuttles to other places, at reasonable cost, and with flexibility about stopping to do errands.

Red Oar Inn: Private, Close to Beach

ThomasRating, 5 stars8 months ago

After looking for places to stay for our honeymoon this place was not only the lowest cost but also practically right next to Buggies Beach and almost next to the house I grew up in. The wife absolutely loved the apartment. It had everything from coffee to laundry units to a first aid kit and cough spray. We didn’t spend a lot of time at the apartment because we were spending more time running around the island and having a blast in Ketchikan. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Rooms With A View

MatthewRating, 5 stars15 months ago

Jillian's place was true to the description - the view from here is incredible. The unit had freshly redone floors and new furniture brought in before our stay so it was very comfortable, up to date, and clean. Gorgeous place to stay if you are visiting Ketchikan. Also very accommodating to longer term stays.
