A true gem of a vacation in Tutka Bay! The real Alaska!
We stayed for 2 nights/3 days in this property and my kids are already asking to go back! After good communication with the property manager and some help with transportation there (we used Mako Water Taxi), a quick 20-minute boat ride across Kachemak Bay took us to this pristine cove that made us feel like the only people in Alaska! The cabin is cozy, warmed by electric baseboards, well-lit and incredibly well-stocked for visitors. My kids immediately set up in the upstairs loft, and the pull-down Murphy bed was incredibly comfortable for us two adults. Great shower/sink room, and believe-it-or-not for our Alaskan standards, the outhouse was clean and pleasant too! We brought our own food, both prepared and not, made fresh coffee, cooked a birthday cake and even used the crock pot! During the days we climbed down to the beach during mid and low tide to look for sea critters, starfish and also fished from shore. A pod of killer whales graced the cove one morning briefly, and there are resident harbor seal and a sea otter that were curious about us. There is an incredible beach on the opposite side of the attached beach that is huge when it is low tide. We brought our own kayaks and were able to kayak around the kelp beds at low tide, looking for colorful starfish and innumerable jellyfish of all sizes and shapes. Cell phone booster kept us connected. If you have read this far I hope you can appreciate how great this location is and we will be headed back for sure!
