About this property

Cozy downtown retreat, walk to Fire Island Bakery!! Clean & Quiet!

Cozy mother-in-law apartment in safe, desirable downtown "South Addition" neighborhood. This studio apartment is open concept with a separate bathroom and shower, fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer in unit and private patio!

Furnished with a modern murphy bed, large Ikea wardrobe, kitchen island/table/workspace and couch - you will feel right at home! Ample storage in the wardrobe for your belongings and plenty of space to relax.

You have a completely private entrance - there are no doors or hallways leading into the main house from the apartment. The private entrance steps directly into the apartment so you are truly in your own space!
Private patio space for your enjoyment after a day exploring Anchorage or the surrounding areas. Relax with a bottle of wine and enjoy the midnight sun as you sit around the fire-pit and plan your next adventure!

Private, off street, parking available for 1 car in a shared 3 car driveway. Additional street parking is available and free.

Adorable South Addition neighborhood was originally designed for military families during the Alaska statehood days and quickly became a sought after housing destination as Anchorage continued to grow. It is one of the most desirable areas to live in Anchorage! Amazing Fire Island Bakery is 2 blocks from the apartment as well as New Sagaya City Market for any groceries you may need. Take a walk downtown to explore, visit the local Saturday Market or watch the large kites soaring on the Delaney Park Strip (5 short blocks). The famous Coastal Trail is a destination as well without needing a vehicle! Hop right onto the Chester Creek Trail just down the street and wind your way around beautiful Westchester Lagoon which then connects directly with the Coastal Trail. Renting a bike would be great for this as well!

Close to everything you need to explore historic downtown Anchorage, museums, restaurants and the vast array of outdoor activities. Or, hop right on the road and take a day trip to Girdwood (30-40 minute drive depending on traffic)! Visit this sleepy ski haven in the winter for world class skiing, or in the Spring/Summer/Fall for an abundance of hiking, mountain biking & wildlife viewing. Be sure to keep an eye out for Beluga whales and Dall sheep as you drive along Turnagain Arm! You don't have to travel outside of downtown to enjoy wildlife sightings though - moose walking the streets of downtown Anchorage, eagles soaring low through the city and even the occasional black bear (though less common) are a common occurrence.

Downtown Anchorage is an urban setting. The speed limit throughout all of downtown Anchorage is 35 mph and some traffic/street noise can be heard during normal commute times. If you are looking for round the clock silence, I would recommend finding a rental in the "Hillside" area of Anchorage (15-25 minutes from downtown depending on location and traffic).

Perfect for our needs

It was amazing the amenities in such a small space. I loved the closet that had three sliding doors - room for everything! And the bathroom was perfect - loved the shower! And so centrally located we could easily find our way to wherever we wanted to go. It was great!

Charming place.

A perfect place for a two night stay in Anchorage. It's just as described in the photos. My son (a college student) and I stayed there. He slept on an air mattress that our host supplied and it worked out great!

This was a great pit stop for a couple of nights. The bed was really comfortable. Could have used some black out curtains. The kitchen is a definite bonus with everything you need to prepare a simple meal. The shower was by far my favorite part of the stay.

Nice little spot close to the ocean. The only negative was we arrived when it was dark and no lights were left on…tenant’s car parked in front of our cottage entrance so hard to see at night. Bring a flashlight and be sure to stay to the left of the property to gain access.

About the host

Hosted by Tiffany Selhay

Host profile image
We love living in Alaska and can't imagine calling anywhere else home. As a family we spend our summers camping, hiking, fishing and playing outside in the almost 24 hours of sunlight. We devote 1 week in summer to "getting off the grid" and doing an adventure trip - past trips have included a 6 day rafting trip on the Gulkana River and camping/hiking/fishing the Tangle Lakes area in Denali National Park. We are happy to share any information and provide suggestions should you need them. We do not live on this property, but are only 2 miles away and happy to help with anything.

Why they chose this property

Our downtown house is an original 1950's log home - it was one of the first houses built on our street and has been tastefully updated throughout the years. In 2011, we decided to turn an unused space into a fully functioning and private mother-in-law apartment, which included a full remodel and addition of kitchen and bathroom. This space has a completely private entrance - there are no doors or hallways leading into the main house from the apartment. The private entrance steps directly into the apartment so you are truly in your own space! We absolutely love the South Addition neighborhood and miss being so close to the bakery - our move took us into a larger home to accommodate our growing family. We hope you will enjoy this space and the neighborhood as much as we have.
