Home away from Home

Host was accessible before and during our stay. Home was easy to find, close to walk downtown, fish nearby streams, and condiments already in the home made cooking for the three of us a breeze. Appreciated the laundry facilities and entry area where we could suit up and get out of wet gear. Highly recommend this VRBO.

Perfect place!!

We loved this property so much! First impression: walking up to it from the outside, you can see through your windows to the Bay before even entering the house. Once inside, it is so open! Comfy round chair set up to look out over the bay. Plenty of room for our 6 travelers and close to everything! Awesome deck and all the cookware you need (and more). I inquired about dropping off luggage since we were in on an early flight. We were given early check-in which was so nice after traveling! I would absolutely stay here again.

Thanks for a great place to stay.

We were in Kodiak for our Grandsons wedding. The Catch is a comfortable place to stay and Stephen is a great host. We enjoyed watching the boat traffic and seeing Loons and Eagles from our deck. Sadly we could not use the fireplace. We would have enjoyed this as it was rainy and chilly while we visited. We also rented our vehicle from Stephen, an added bonus.

Going home

This trip was a gift to my siblings for my brothers 69th birthday. I was born in Kodiak and have not been back since we left base. My brother however has always considered Kodiak HOME. It was a joy to be able to take him home. I rented the house and our vehicle from Stephen, and a whale watching excursion. I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. Hands down the best VRBO host I have worked with.

Great Premier host in Kodiak, comes with rental car, boat tours optional, super convenient

I recommend Stephen (premier host) for Kodiak stays. He went out of his way to get us in early. He supplied us with rental car, ample coffee, chocolate and bear spray (all we needed). He was terrific. The property is a great base camp location. The deck & living area have excellent views of the channel, and walk-able to downtown. The deck was a great add. Watching boats come & go was terrific. Recommended!

We stayed at The Catch 3 years ago, and were impressed enough to stay there again. We love the open living space and kitchen, and you can’t beat the view! Stephen promptly replied to our questions, and we rented a great truck from him as well. Although it is located on a fairly busy street, the place was nice and quiet. We recommend The Catch!

Great Views & Great Location!

We had a wonderful stay in Kodiak. Stephen was very helpful and responsive. We came with our kids and enjoyed using the kitchen and socializing in the great room. The views of the boats traveling in and out of the channel, the float planes taking off and landing on Near Island, and the whales feeding in the distant water made our stay extra special. We also rented the truck which made our trips to the store and coffee shops very easy. The home is in good walking distance to almost everything, but the truck was nice for getting out to our hiking spots and Safeway/Walmart. Stephen also took us whale watching one night. We had great weather and I definitely recommend taking this special boat tour. It's a great way to see the Island from a different perspective. Plus the whale watching was fantastic too.

A unique Alaska experience.

What you see in the pictures is what you get. The place is clean and well appointed and decorated. The location is convenient on a relatively busy st., but overlooks a deep blue water channel behind and you could entertain yourself just watching the boats drive by from the comfort of your living room. You can also walk to several restaurants and museums, so it is a terrific home base to explore Kodiak. Stephen is terrific. A school counselor in Kodiak, so a real community member who can give you a sense of the place. He was super responsive to our questions and needs but also gave us privacy -- perfect balance of friendliness and allowing space for privacy. We also rented a truck from Stephen which allowed us to do day trips to local beaches. Surfer and Fossil Beaches were terrific, with Gray whales spouting regularly just a few hundred yards off shore and some cool tidal pools.

Lovely views, good location, all-in-all a welcoming home and Stephen as a truly great host. This all creates a perfect blend that makes The Catch a perfect base for a several days’ discovery of Kodiak. The four of us just loved it and we do hope we will come back one day...

Clean, bright, and comfortable, with a view of the ocean channel!

This house had everything the four of us needed: lots of space to spread out including a spacious entryway to take off our boots and jackets, plenty of amenities, and a great view of the channel. Stephen checked with us our first day to make sure everything was OK, which we thought was a nice personal touch. Bald eagles were soaring by the living room window (close!) every day. And his truck came in very handy, as we drove the entire length of the Kodiak road system! We highly recommend this place!

Perfect base camp for exploring Kodiak.

My group of fishing buddies made this our base camp for several excursions around Kodiak. The house was a nice, clean, comfortable, and well appointed place to relax in the evenings and enjoy the great view. I plan to bring my wife and daughters to Kodiak and will definitely be staying here again. Owners were very helpful in assisting me with planning out our trip as well.
