This place is a hidden gem! We were surprised at how comfy and quiet it was. It put us exactly where we wanted to be in Sitka do hike, explore and still be close to shopping in town. The hosts did a fantastic job of making sure everything was perfect for us. The bed was very comfortable and the view from the living room was beyond spectacular. We could see lots of otters playing in the water from the table by the window. We spent quite a bit of time using the provided binoculars to watch boats coming in and out of the bay, watching for other sea critters and viewing the bald eagles flying by. What an amazing experience we had. If we ever have the chance to visit Sitka again, we will definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything.

So peaceful and CLEAN!

Really loved our 6 night stay in Sitka at Pam and Mike’s guest quarters. Perfect size, immaculate, relaxing and the views spectacular. Convenient to town (we rented a car) but able to get far enough away for a restful vacation while visiting our daughter. Made dinner at the apartment one night, breakfast each day and enjoyed Sitka to its fullest. What a great spot! Thank you, Pam and Mike!

Pleasant apartment in Sitka

We had the entire downstairs of a home just outside Sitka with a view of the bays and islands around Sitka. Hostess was pleasant and answered our questions. Had large TV which we never turned on as we ate dinner watching the ocean. Would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Mike and Pam Kernin

Host profile image
Mike and I are longtime Sitkans. If we can't answer a question about our community we probably know someone who can. We are active both on land and in the ocean and enjoy helping our guests enjoy Sitka.

Why they chose this property

The rental is in the lower portion of the home that Pam grew up in and was built by her parents. We overlook beautiful Jamestown Bay where we can often see Eagles, Whales, and other creatures. Closer to home we Hummingbirds in our feeders, Blue Jays, various other small birds, squirrels, and often Deer in the front lawn.

Our rental is located in a small, quiet neighborhood where we know each other personally and watch out for each other. It has been home for almost 50 years where four generations have grown together.

What makes this property unique

I am a little partial to the neighborhood since I have been here for almost 50 years. Looking out over Jamestown Bay and the expanse of the ocean you can feel like you are lost in your own little oasis but really town, boating, hiking, and Sitka amenities are only a couple of miles away.
