This house is in a great location and perfect for a group fishing trip. The hot tub, fishing preparation room, garden area, outdoor bar, and dock are very nice. It is in a beautiful location and having the boat to take out is really great. There is no internet service - only cell signal which is very strong. We rented the house for August 6-13. On the 7th one of the boat engines was alarming and not functioning as soon as we started heading out. The repair shop determined the oil had run out and the engine was shutting off. On the 8th the house ran out of water. The cistern and back-up tank had run empty. The owner said it would be the next afternoon until we would know if we would have water for the remainder of the trip. Despite providing drinking water and trying to run a hose from the creek to the tank, getting enough water was unsuccessful and we were told we would have to leave. The rest of the day was spent frantically trying to find somewhere else for 6 people to stay while packing up clothes and groceries and making arrangements to get off the island. We were able to find a two-room apartment in town in Ketchikan and arrange for two fishing charters. We lost the boat and self-guided fishing trips, ocean-front view, and space we had planned for as well as an entire day of our vacation coordinating changes. The biggest issues for us were that both the oil and water problems were due to lack of maintenance. The summer had been unusually dry, which cannot be helped, but the water tanks had not been checked to ensure there would be water. Also, the owner never offered to help us find other accommodations or transportation to them. Before we left, the owner assured us we would be refunded for the rental. The fee VRBO charges as well as the tax is based on the rental fee. The difference between an 8 day and a 3 day rental is significant. The owner refunded the house and boat days 9-13 as well as the boat for the day it went to the shop. She refused to refund the portion of the VRBO fee and part of the taxes assessed which was quite a lot. We should have processed a cancellation through VRBO rather than rely on the owner to refund the amount. We were so busy making other arrangements we just didn’t think of it at the time. Overall, it is a great rental in a beautiful location. Having the boat for self-guided fishing is wonderful. Just be aware that water could be an issue and if it is, you are out of luck and on your own.
