Sandy Beach Retreat - stay just steps from Juneau's best beach and trails!

Guests will enjoy this private, 1-bedroom apartment nestled in a nature-lovers paradise above Sandy Beach in Douglas, Alaska. The apartment is the entire first floor of a quintessential Alaskan log home with a private entrance, windows all around, an open floor plan, and all custom interior wood and rock work.

Enjoy the sounds of nature from the private deck with a view of Mount Roberts tram and Gastineau Channel’s glorious mountains and waterfalls. You can walk right off the deck to our private stairway access to Treadwell Historic trail and Sandy Beach, with sandy beach playground just a quick 5 minute walk down the trail. For those wanting to gain some elevation on a longer hiking adventure, Mount Jumbo trail is just around the corner, a 5 minute walk to the trailhead. And while downtown Juneau is just a 10 minute drive in a private vehicle, you can also enjoy the convenience of public transportation, with buses running every 30 minutes from the stop located just a block away.

The apartment has a lovely pillow-top queen-sized bed in a separate private bedroom.

When hungry, enjoy the ease of preparing food in the fully equipped kitchen or on the bbq, or take a short scenic walk to have a meal at the Douglas café or Island Pub, where they make amazing pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven. Other amenities such as a full-size washer/dryer, wifi, flat screen tv, ample library, and private parking will also make your stay comfortable. Your own private deck is a nature-lovers dream! The deck has mountain and peek-a-boo water views, a babbling creek running by, and overlooks a lovely nature trail. We have strong unlimited internet, so you should have no problems connecting to share your adventures with friends!

Sorry, no pets or smoking on the property.

Note: Our family of four (2 kids) lives in the house above the rental. Although we are very respectful of our tenants with regard to noise, and our location is very serene most of the time, tenants should expect a bit of mild family sounds here and there during normal waking hours (7a-10p), especially during transition times when we are packing off to work/camp. Quiet hours are 10p-7a. If you like to party late and/or sleep in until mid-morning, other accommodation options may better suite your needs. Please feel free to inquire if any questions!
